Installing Transceiver Channels - Simrad EK80 Harbour Acceptance Test

Simrad EK80 Harbour Acceptance Test
Further requirements
In some EK80 applications, one or more transducers are installed facing upwards. In
order to adjust the echogram presentations to this use, the
introduced. Unlike the presentation on a traditional fish finding echo sounder, you can
select Upwards mode. The presentation is then adjusted for a transducer located at the
bottom of the echogram looking up towards the sea surface.

Installing transceiver channels

In order to use the EK80, the Processor Unit must be connected to one or more
transceivers, and each of them must in turn be connected to one or more transducers.
Each channel must be installed before it can be put to use. In this context, the phrase
channel is used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer
and operating frequency.
Prerequisites
The EK80 is installed as specified in the EK80 Installation manual. All units are turned
on.
• All cables are connected and tested.
• The software license for each transceiver is installed and activated.
• The Ethernet adapter in the Processor Unit is set up with a unique IP address.
• All relevant transducers are installed using the
