Prerequisites The ST90 has been set up with its hardware units connected as specified in the ST90 Installation manual. • The ST90 system is turned on and operates normally. • The ST90 is in Normal mode, but is set to Off to prevent transmissions.
  • Page 36 (Built-In Test Equipment) functionality, you can easily determine BITE if the ST90 hardware is operational. And most important, you can make sure that all the transceivers channels and the transducer elements are functional. To open the different pages in the (Built-In Test Equipment) dialog box, use the large "buttons"...
  • Page 37 Select to open the page. Transducer page presents all the elements that are used in the ST90 transducer. Transducer The presentation attempts to organize the elements in the same manner as in the physical transducer. The transceiver boards are shown as "buttons". Select a transceiver board to highlight the elements that are physically connected to the board.
  • Page 38 If faulty channels are grouped together on the transducer face, this may cause a visible defect in the ST90 presentation. If they are scattered, the visible defect may be a lot harder to see. In all cases, the echoes from the neighbouring channels cause an interpolation that will restore a lot of the degraded presentation.
  • Page 39 Testing the ST90 operational functionality Result Requirements Results The maximum number of unserviceable elements is 3. Date and signature: Further requirements If the noise level is higher than specified, you must check the reason(s) for this. • Check the grounding of the Transceiver Unit.

  • Page 40: Testing The Interfaces With Peripheral Devices

    Prerequisites The ST90 is installed as specified in the ST90 Installation manual. • The sensor is connected to a communication port on the ST90. The sensor is on and in normal operation. • The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
  • Page 41 The properties of each of the available communication ports are defined on the I/O Setup page. The page allows your ST90 to communicate with external Sensor Installation sensors and systems. To make sure that the information from the "most reliable" sensors are used by the ST90, use the page to define a datagram priorities.

  • Page 42: Verifying The Communication With Speed Log

    Date and signature: Verifying the communication with speed log In order to operate correctly, the ST90 requires input from a speed log. The vessel speed is shown on the top bar if you have enabled this in the dialog box. The Display Options communication with the sensor is tested.
  • Page 43 Context Note The speed input is essential for ST90 operation. Without speed information, the ST90 will neither be able to present correct navigational information, nor compensate for vessel movements. This lack of compensation will prevent the ST90 from providing correct echo information.

  • Page 44: Verifying The Communication With The Course Gyro

    Prerequisites The ST90 is installed as specified in the ST90 Installation manual. • The sensor is connected to a communication port on the ST90. The sensor is on and in normal operation. • The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
  • Page 45 Context Note The input from a course gyro is essential for ST90 operation. Without the input from a course gyro, the ST90 will not be able to present correct navigational information.This lack of compensation will prevent the ST90 from providing correct echo information.

    Prerequisites The ST90 is installed as specified in the ST90 Installation manual. • The sensor is connected to a communication port on the ST90. The sensor is on and in normal operation. • The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
  • Page 47 Context A motion reference unit (MRU) measures the vessel’s pitch and roll movements in the sea. The information provided by the motion sensor is used by the ST90 to stabilize the beams and the echo presentation. Procedure Open the menu.
  • Page 48 Display Options Note In order to read the motion compensation values, the ST90 must be "pinging". As long as the vessel is in port, you can not expect major changes in the values. If possible, use another instrument to verify that the information provided by the ST90 is correct.

    "forward" mark on the transducer shaft sleeve - and thus also "forward" on the transducer - may not point forward at all, but several degrees off the centre line. To obtain accurate ST90 presentations, this misalignment must be adjusted by changing the installation parameters.

  • Page 52: Verifying The Installation Parameters For The Global Positioning System (Gps) Antenna

    Verifying the installation parameters for the global positioning system (GPS) antenna Information from a few key sensors are vital for the ST90 accuracy. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, the physical locations of these sensors - normally referred to the Ship Origin - must be recorded in the ST90 setup.
  • Page 53 Context The physical location of the global positioning system (GPS) antenna relative to the transducer is required to allow the ST90 to show the correct navigational information in the ST90 presentation. The locations of the transducer and the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna must be referenced to a common Ship Origin.

  • Page 54: Verifying The Installation Parameters For The Motion Reference Unit (Mru)

    The physical location of the motion reference unit (MRU) relative to the transducer is required to allow the ST90 to adjust for roll and pitch as accurately as possible. This task is only applicable is you are using an external motion reference unit on your ST90.
  • Page 55 - and other GPS systems - allow you to define the MRU location in the positioning system. If this is done, the MRU offset values in the ST90 must be set to 0 (zero) to avoid "dual compensation". The rotation information is normally not recorded by the positioning system, and must therefore be defined in the ST90.

    Setting up the Operating Panel (Mk2) The Operating Panel offers all necessary control functions for normal operation of the ST90. Before it can be put to use, the Operating Panel must be configured to permit Ethernet communication between the panel and the Processor Unit.
  • Page 58 Simrad ST90 Harbour Acceptance Test To set up the Ethernet communication, you must define the IP address for the panel, and identify the Processor Unit in the panel software. These settings allow you to use more than one Operating Panel on the Processor Unit. You can also control more than one Processor Unit from a single Operating Panel.
  • Page 59 Write down the information. Close the window. Command Prompt Select the adapter that the Operating Panel is connected to. On the ST90, the Ethernet adapter is named Simrad Connect. Prepare the Operating Panel for use. Make the following preparations. Connect the power cable from the Operating Panel to the power outlet on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
