Preparations Length Cable Description Ethernet cables It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better. If you use cables with lower bandwidth capacity you will reduce the CS90 performance. The maximum length of each Ethernet cable is 100 meters.
Simrad CS90 Installation Manual Choosing the best location for the Processor Unit The Processor Unit can be installed inside a console, inside a suitable cabinet, in a 19" rack or on a desk. Make sure that adequate ventilation is available to avoid overheating.
Simrad CS90 Installation Manual regular intervals to check temperature and humidity, and take the necessary actions if the environmental conditions are poor. Observe the environmental specifications related to the CS90 units. Related topics Sonar room requirements, page 63 Requirements for watertight integrity The size, location and design of the sonar room must fulfil all the requirements to the vessel’s watertight integrity.
Preparations Size and access requirements A well designed sonar room with a well fitted size and easy access reduces the risk of corrosion, and simplifies maintenance. This increases system reliability. Note The physical size of the sonar room must be limited, so that in the event of a major leak, the flooding of the room will not induce instability, or cause the vessel to capsize or sink.
Simrad CS90 Installation Manual Heating requirements Heating is an effective method for reducing humidity. The heater in the sonar room must dimensioned to maintain the equipment within its environmental tolerances. Typical heating power is minimum 1000 W. The heater must be installed close to the deck.
Preparations Power requirements Each unit in the sonar room should be provided with a separate circuit breaker on the mains supply. A minimum number of additional electrical outlets must be provided for other equipment. Proper vessel ground must be provided. Cabling requirements The sonar room units are connected to other CS90 units located in different compartments on the vessel.
The lifting device must be rated to minimum twice the weight of the hull unit. Minimum lifting capacity: • CS90: 1000 kg • CS94: 2000 kg A permanently installed fixture will facilitate installation trunk and hull unit mounting. It can also be used for future equipment maintenance and/or replacement.
Preparations Orientation of the hull unit As a general recommendation, the hull unit shall be oriented with the hoist/lower motor pointing aft. If this orientation makes it difficult to access the Motor Control Unit, the hull unit may be rotated during its installation to the most suitable direction. The physical distance between the Transceiver Unit and the hull unit is limited by the length of the...

Preparations The majority of these factors can neither be controlled nor improved by means of installation methods or transducer locations. The quality and properties of the transmitting and receiving systems are key factors during our product development, while our end user documentation aims to help the user to make the right filter settings during operation.
Simrad CS90 Installation Manual • Acoustic noise from other hydroacoustic systems The transducer cable is long, and may pick up electric noise from generators, pumps, cooling systems and other electric or electromechanical devices. The preamplifiers are very sensitive, and they can easily pick up electrical noise from internal and external power supplies.
Page 81
Preparations Propeller cavitation is a severe source of noise. "Singing" propellers might be a source of noise, which interferes at discrete frequencies. In some cases static discharge from the rotating propeller shaft may be quite disturbing. Cavitation Cavitation is the formation of small air bubbles close to the transducer face.
Simrad CS90 Installation Manual 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.
Preparations in other vessels may also be a limiting factor. The sea noise depends on the weather conditions. In bad weather the sea noise can be quite high due to the waves. Related topics Acoustic noise, page 76 Electrical self noise Electrical or electronic self noise is picked up or generated in any other part of the equipment than the transducer.
Simrad CS90 Installation Manual The illustration demonstrates how the sea bottom and the sea surface return echoes back to your CS90. In this situation you will be able to identify the upper school of fish, but the lower school will be hidden in the shadow of the seabed rock formation.
