Introduction - Tritec SeaKing Profiling Sonar Product Manual

1. Introduction

A SeaKing Profiler System is made up from the Profiler, the Tritech
International Ltd Seanet Pro control and display software and either a Surface
Control Unit (SCU) or SeaHub. This manual deals with the Profiler and any
specific aspects of Seanet Pro that are necessary to get a system working. For
more details of Seanet Pro please refer to the Seanet Pro Software Manual
and further details of the SeaHub or SCU can also be found in their respective
manuals (all current manuals are available on www.tritech.co.uk).
The Seanet Pro software is Windows based and provides control of the
complete range of profilers that Tritech International Ltd produce. It is also
possible to display multiple devices within Seanet Pro and as such two or
more Profilers can be networked together and displayed on one computer.
The SeaKing Profiler is typically configured to communicate with the SCU
or SeaHub using the ARCNET LAN telemetry protocol. This is the standard
protocol that is used in all SeaKing devices and provides a high bandwidth at
a default communications rate of 156kbit·s
sensors to communicate at a lower rate or using serial protocols (such as
RS232 or RS485).
The SeaKing DFP has the following features:
Scan rate
Dual Frequency Operation
Protected transducer
Electrical Connection

Communication Protocols
Units fitted with a V6 COM PCB are capable of communicating
on ARCNET, RS232 and RS485. Units fitted with earlier revisions
COM PCB will only be able to communicate on ARCNET or RS232.
If you are unsure which COM PCB is fitted to your unit, please
contact Tritech International Ltd for assistance.
. It is also possible to reconfigure

The heads can achieve a very fast scan
rate which gives faster target acquisition.
The SeaKing DFP can use up to two
operating frequencies - one giving long
range target acquisition characteristics
and the other giving shorter range, higher
definition, profiling capability.
The SeaKing devices have a rigid
plastic boot, and offer protection of the
transducer head.
The SeaKing uses a Tritech International
Ltd 6 pin waterblock but can be fitted with
an alternative connector on request.
