  • Page 9 Seismic Sound Sources And Marine Life. Although not proven, there is concern in some quarters that marine mammals may be harmed or their behaviour changed by seismic activity. The sound pulses from sparkers and boomers is much lower in amplitude and higher in frequency (so it will travel less far) than air guns.

  • Page 11: Introduction

    This manual covers the following CSP-S models available from AAE: 1) CSP-S 4000. Based on the highly proven CSP family, the CSP-S 4000 has a dual high voltage charger rated at 2800 joules per second, and can supply up to 4000 joules of energy per shot into a Delta Spark source.

  • Page 12: Installation

    INSTALLATION SITING THE CSP-S The CSP-S units can deliver high energy, high voltage pulses, yet still emit minimal electrical emissions, and so can carry the CE mark. The CE marking ensure that the CSP-S can be sited next to sensitive electronic equipment which carry their own CE marking (for susceptibility to emissions) and will be unlikely to cause them interference.
  • Page 13 EARTHING The CSP-S MUST be earthed. The M8 earth bolt on the front panel should be connected to the vessel earth by a heavy gauge wire or cable. On larger ships, earth is usually a steel bulkhead, but for smaller fibre glass / wooden vessels a sea earth is necessary. A or larger copper cable with 1 –...
  • Page 14 INSTALLATION The CSP-S Unit is supplied from the factory in a ‘Hardigg’ transit case. The CSP-S must be operated in the transit case as system interlocks will operate if removed. As is the case with all electronic equipment, care should be exercised in handling. The rear panel of the transit case must be removed to allow inconnection cabling and airflow.
  • Page 15 EARTHING - FURTHER REMINDER THIS UNIT MUST BE EARTHED / GROUNDED BEFORE ANY POWER IS APPLIED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY REPRESENT A SEVERE HAZARD TO BOTH EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL. The front of the CSP-S must be grounded to the ship’s ground system.
  • Page 16 LINE VOLTAGE CONNECTION Mains input is connected by the 3-Pin amphenol on the left of the control unit front panel. Nominal input voltage is 230VAC 45-65 Hz. The wiring to this connector is as follows:- Ground / Earth Neutral Live If a ready-wired plug is supplied, it will be supplied from the factory with the following colour coding:- Green/yellow :...
  • Page 17 AC POWER REQUIREMENTS Voltage ratings are quoted elsewhere in this manual. TYPICAL CURRENTS At 1500J at 1 pps (AVIP out of circuit); Non PFC charger, the following currents apply:- Voltage Peak Current Average Current 110 VAC 50 Hz 240 VAC 50 Hz (At 60 Hz, the peak currents are slightly smaller) LINE VOLTAGE DERATING The capability of the HV charger to deliver energy to the load (storage capacitors)
  • Page 18 FURTHER REMINDER If the unit has recently been moved from a cold environment to a warm one, condensation may have developed, which may cause arcing in high voltage equipment. The operator is advised to switch the unit on and run the fans for 10-15 minutes before allowing the high voltage to be switched on.

  • Page 19: Operation

    OPERATION Operation of the CSP-S is similar to previous versions of the CSP. Installation check-list:- a) System interconnections on rear panel are made. b) The sound source (boomer plate or sparker) has been connected and that it is in the water. c) A key pulse is connected –...
  • Page 20 OPERATION Once switched on, the ‘HV OFF / RESET’ button must be pressed to reset any fault latches and the light behind the ‘Manual Key’ button is flashing in sequence with the key input signal. The output power can now be selected by using the two rotary switches as shown in the accompanying photographs.
  • Page 21 Operation of the CSP-S with a boomer sound source. The CSP-S has a 300J Limit switch which must be engaged when operating with a boomer sound source to prevent accidental damage. The CSP-S should only be operated on POWER Level 1 HI, MED and LOW for boomer acquisition. A boomer plate as a sound source produces a single pulse and the amplitude and duration of this pulse is controlled by the energy going into it.
  • Page 22 Operation of the CSP-S with a sparker sound source. Sparker power settings with CSP-S units. AAE Sparker model Typical Input energy number (Joules) 300 – 700 Squid 500 600 – 2400 Squid 2000 1200 – 6000 DELTA Spark Sparker Load A sparker consists of a number of electrodes in the (salt) water which creates a sound pulse as the plasma bubble expands.

  • Page 23: Operator Controls And Indicators

    PERATOR ONTROLS AND NDICATORS MAINS POWER switch Double pole switch that also acts as an overcurrent circuit breaker. It is situated by the mains input connector. The switch has standard O I positions. EMERGENCY STOP switch In the event of an emergency the unit can be shut down. This switch shuts off the control logic of the charger thus disabling the system.
  • Page 24 INDICATORS EOC (End Of Charge) indicator LED illuminated when the storage capacitors have reached their potential voltage (~2.5 to 4 kV). In this way the operator can see if the unit is being run faster than the charger can cope with. If the operator notices loss of data on the recording system, it may mean the CSP-D is being fired too quickly, not allowing the capacitors to charge to their full potential.
  • Page 25 CONNECTORS MAINS INPUT 200 – 250 VAC mains input. Connection details are supplied elsewhere in this manual. REMOTE Allows operator to remotely control CSP-S. HV OUTPUT 4 pin proprietary connector. Using our HV2 plug, the large connector pins are proof tested to 6000 volts and can operate with current pulses up to 6000 amps.
  • Page 26 SAFETY All interlocks and safety features are doubled. For example, if the HV connector is removed, the HV is shut OFF by the logic board which controls the charger module AND the high voltage is switched OFF by a separate relay. The interlock circuit operates from its own isolated 12V supply and operates 2 relays, as well as the control electronics.
  • Page 27 Within the EU all electronic components and batteries must be taken for separate collection at the end of their working life under EU WEEE directives. Applied Acoustics as a manufacturer within the EU will responsibly dispose of any returned end of life Applied Acoustics components / batteries through a registered WEEE scheme.

    : 2800J/s at up to 6000J/shot. Physical Specifications Size : 19" Rack Mount 11U high. Weight : 125 kg CSP-S 4000 : 130 kg CSP-S 6000 Electrical Specifications Mains Input : 207 - 260 V 1 phase. : 45 - 65 Hz @ 6 kVA.
  • Page 29 Safety Features Should any fault develop, the high voltage PSU (Charger) and all capacitors (which have bleed resistors) are individually dumped to ground, until the system is reset. A double layer of safety cut-outs ensure that partial failure results in system shutdown. Interlocks : Dumps high voltage when fault develops.
