Page 48: Where To Install The Transducer
Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Where to install the transducer A single answer to the question "where to install the transducer" cannot be given. The physical location of the transducer depends on the vessel's design and construction, how the hull is shaped, and how the water runs along the hull. There are however a number of important guidelines, and some of these are even conflicting.
Page 49: Avoid Protruding Objects Near The Transducer
The effect of slamming can be reduced by mounting the transducer as deep as possible on the hull. Note Kongsberg Maritime AS takes no responsibility for any damages to the transducer, the cable or the mounting arrangement, caused by slamming. Related topics...

Page 51: Keep The Transducer Far Away From The Propellers
Preparations It is our experience that a wide and flat bottom, with a rising angle less than around 13 degrees, is prone to giving air problems for the transducer. In any case a transducer location in the forward part of the hull is preferred in order to minimise the influence of the boundary layer.
Page 52 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Related topics Where to install the transducer, page 46 Preparations, page 41 416739/A...
Page 53: Summary And General Recommendations
Preparations Summary and general recommendations Some of the installation guidelines provided for transducer location may be conflicting. For this reason, each vessel must be treated individually in order to find the best compromise. In general, the most important factor is to avoid air bubbles in front of the transducer face. For this reason, the recommended transducer location is normally in the fore part of the hull, well ahead of the noise created by the bow wave.
Page 54 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual If the vessel hull has a bulbous bow, this may well be a good transducer location, but also in this case the flow pattern of the aerated water must be taken into consideration. The foremost part of the bulb is often a good location.
Page 55: Acoustic Noise
Preparations Acoustic noise As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the ES80 echo data and presentations are subject to unwanted acoustic noise. The echoes from any large and small target must be detected inside the noise. It is important that we keep the noise level as low as possible. This is necessary to obtain long range and dependable interpretations of the echoes.
Page 56 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Signal-to-noise ratio (often abbreviated SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power, often expressed in decibels.
Page 57: Self Noise
Preparations The preamplifiers are very sensitive, and they can easily pick up electrical noise from internal and external power supplies. The preamplifiers are also vulnerable to analogue noise created by their own electronic circuitry. Digital noise created by the converter and processing circuitry can also create problems.
Page 58 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Propeller noise is usually water-borne. In some cases, however, shaft vibrations or vibrations in the hull near the propeller may be structure-borne to the transducer. If a propeller blade is damaged, this may increase the noise considerably.
Page 59 Preparations Turbulent flow Laminar flow Air bubbles Air bubbles absorb and reflect the sound energy, and they may in worst cases block the sound transmission altogether. The boundary layer increases in thickness when it becomes turbulent. The boundary layer is thin in the forward part of the vessel hull, and increases as it moves aft. The thickness depends on ships speed and on the roughness of the hull.
Page 60: Ambient Noise
Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Related topics Acoustic noise, page 53 Preparations, page 41 Ambient noise Ambient noise is usually not a limiting factor to the performance of sonars and echo sounders. The ambient noise may be split up as follows: •...
Page 61: Electrical Self Noise
Preparations Electrical self noise Electrical or electronic self noise is picked up or generated in any other part of the equipment than the transducer. The most common source of electrical self noise is hum. The hum is normally generated by a power supply. It is then picked up by the transducer cables and/or sensitive electronic circuitry.
Page 62 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Reducing flow noise • The shape of the transducer (or dome around it) must be as streamlined as possible. • The hull plating in front of the transducer must be as smooth as possible. Important Be especially aware of bilge keels and zinc alloy anodes.
Page 63: Vessel Coordinate System
Preparations Reducing interference Interference from the transmission pulses from other hydroacoustic instruments on board the vessel is difficult to avoid. The problem may be reduced by choosing the working frequencies carefully and to some extent by separating the different transducers. On vessels with a large number of separate hydroacoustic systems installed and in simultaneous use, a separate synchronizing system (for example the K-Sync) should be considered.
Page 64 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual positioned far away from the transducer on a depth sensor, which may be located closer to the bow. Very often, the information from one sensor depends on data from an other. It is then important that the relevant measurements are compensated for these relative distances.
Page 65 Preparations • The physical location of the motion reference unit (MRU) Coordinate system alternative origins If necessary, other origin locations may be defined for specific products or purposes. One example is the Navigation Reference Point that is frequently used. Whenever a vessel is surveyed to establish accurate offset information, the surveyor may also establish an alternative origin location.

Page 187: Surveying The Transducer And The Navigation Sensors
Setting to work • Define a vessel coordinate system, and place all the sensors in it. Dimensional surveying The dimensional surveying tasks recommended for ES80 include: • Define the vessel coordinate system. The vessel coordinate system is established to define the relative physical locations of systems and sensors.
Page 188: Example Procedure
Determining the relative positions of the sensors and each transducer is important. Sufficient time and satisfactory work conditions must be given to the survey work. The installation engineers from Kongsberg Maritime and from our authorized dealers are neither equipped nor trained to do dimensional surveying.
Page 189 Setting to work Procedure Define the location of the origin in the coordinate system. The origin is the common reference point where all three axis in the vessel coordinate system meet. All physical locations of the vessel’s sensors (radar and positioning system antennas, echo sounder and sonar transducers, motion reference units, etc.) are referenced to the origin.
Page 190 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual This is the X value. The value is positive because the sensor is located in front of the origin. Measure the horizontal distance in parallel with the Y axis from the origin to the centre line.
Page 191: Vessel Coordinate System
Setting to work Type the values you have found for X, Y and Z into the page Sensor Installation when you install the sensor in the ES80 user interface. Measure the physical location of the motion reference unit (MRU). The motion reference unit is located next to the sonar hull unit. Both are placed on the vessel’s centre line and close to the bow.
Page 192 Simrad ES80 Installation Manual Example If you wish to measure the actual water depth, you will need to know the vertical distance from the echo sounder transducer to the water line. Since the vessel’s displacement changes with the amount of cargo, fuel etc, the physical location of the water line on the hull must either be measured at a regular basis, or measured with a second sensor.
Page 193 Setting to work Coordinate system alternative origins If necessary, other origin locations may be defined for specific products or purposes. One example is the Navigation Reference Point that is frequently used. Whenever a vessel is surveyed to establish accurate offset information, the surveyor may also establish an alternative origin location.
