A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy to another. In an echo sounder system the transducer converts between electric energy and sound. The EM 2040 MKII uses separate transducer arrays for transmitting and receiving sound pulses.
One or two Processing Units may be required, depending on the system configuration. Portable Processing Unit description The EM 2040 MKII Processing Unit is available in a portable splash proof IP67 rated version. The portable version has the same functionality as...
This means that the computer type used with the EM 2040 MKII system changes from time to time. The Hydrographic Work Station is available in a semi rugged or fully rugged version for portable use.
If you use more than one Processing Unit, a high capacity Ethernet switch is required. The Ethernet switch is used to connect each transceiver and Processor Units together. A high capacity Ethernet switch is included in the EM 2040 MKII delivery. Note It is very important that a high-quality Ethernet cable is used.
Page 21
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII The Remote Control Unit is designed to be mounted in a 19 inch rack, but it is also possible to mount it on a flat surface or in a bulkhead. It is also prepared for mounting on telescopic rails.
If you need specific consumables, or if special tools and/or test instruments are required, these are identified in the relevant procedure(s). Personnel qualifications The installation of the EM 2040 MKII system is a demanding task. It is very important that the personnel involved in the installation tasks are competent and experienced craftsmen.
Page 24
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Note The quality of the welding is critical to the safety of the vessel. Welding must only be done by a certified welder. If applicable, the final installation welds must be approved by the vessel’s national registry, the corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society.
The units are not fully protected against humidity, dust or water. It is important that the sonar room is kept dry. The EM 2040 MKII topside units must not be exposed to excessive temperatures, dust, moisture or humidity. Such conditions can cause corrosive attacks and subsequent failures to the electronic circuitry.
Heating is an effective method for reducing humidity. The heater in the sonar room must be dimensioned to maintain the equipment within its environmental tolerances. Observe the environmental specifications related to the EM 2040 MKII units. Ventilation requirements The sonar room should be connected to the vessel's ventilation system to ensure a supply of cooling air.
Page 27
A minimum number of additional electrical outlets must be provided for other equipment. Cabling requirements The sonar room units are connected to other EM 2040 MKII units located in different compartments on the vessel. The units may also be connected to peripheral devices. If these cables pass through hatches or areas where they may be damaged, they must be run in conduits.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Where to install the transducer Topics Introduction to transducer location, page 28 Mount the transducer deep, page 28 Avoid protruding objects near the transducer, page 29 Keep the transducer far away from the propellers, page 30...
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. Avoid protruding objects near the transducer Objects protruding from the hull will generate turbulence and flow noise.
When in operation, the noise and cavitation bubbles created by the thruster may make your EM 2040 MKII transducer useless, almost no matter where it is installed. When the bow thrusters are not in operation, the tunnel creates turbulence. If your vessel is pitching, the tunnel may be filled with air or aerated water in the upper position and release this in the lower position.
Page 31
Preparing the installation Transducer Inclination angle Hull length at water line Maximum 1/3 of the hull length at water line (C) 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 32
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Important The transducer must not have a negative inclination angle compared to water flow. Do not place a transducer near protruding objects, and especially not close behind them. Make sure that the surface of the resulting installation is as smooth and streamlined as possible.
Preparing the installation Acoustic noise As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the EM 2040 MKII echo data and presentations are subject to unwanted acoustic noise. The echoes from any large and small target must be detected inside the noise.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual The noise that contributes to the signal to noise ratio may be divided into the following types of noise: • Self noise • Ambient noise • Electrical noise • Reverberation • Underwater noise The transducer can pick up noise from: •...
Page 35
Preparing the installation Electrical noise Modern vessels are normally equipped with a lot of electric instruments such as hydroacoustic systems, radars, navigation systems, and communication equipment. Any electric instruments may in some cases cause electrical interference and noise. International regulations and certifications are used to control and reduce this, but even these are limited if the electrical systems are poorly installed and/or maintained.
Page 36
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual In some cases a resonant phenomenon is set up in a hole near the hull. This sound will have a discrete frequency, while all other flow noise will have a wide frequency spectrum. (Image from U. S. Navy in the public domain.)
Preparing the installation Rattle noise Rattle noise may be caused by loose objects in the vicinity of the transducer, like fixing bolts. The rattle may also come from loose objects inside the hull. Interference Interference from other hydroacoustic equipment on board the same vessel may be an annoying source of disturbance.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Some means to reduce acoustic noise Several factors are contributing to the performance of the hydroacoustic equipment used on board a vessel. Careful planning of the installation may reduce the acoustic noise. Unfortunately, it is impossible to simply provide a number of specific procedures to reduce the noise.
Page 39
• Make sure that all units are properly grounded. This is important to avoid electrical noise. • Use shielded cables with correct grounding. • Separate the cables used by the EM 2040 MKII system from other cables with high voltages, large currents or transients. • Place all high voltage power cables in metal conduits.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Transducer installation principles Topics Introduction, page 40 Gondola, page 42 Blister, page 43 Flush mounted, page 44 Externally mounted with fairings, page 45 Portable installation, page 46 Transducer installation using a hull unit, page 47 Introduction The transducer can be installed using different installation principles.
Page 41
Once the installation method is defined, the installation shipyard must provide the necessary drawings. These drawings must be approved by the vessel’s classification authority. If required, Kongsberg Maritime AS can assist with the required engineering. 472405/A...
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Gondola A gondola is a streamlined pod mounted under the hull of the ship. It can either be welded or bolted under the hull plates. It is well suited for refitting a vessel with an EM 2040 MKII system.
Blisters of different sizes and shapes have been used from the early days of echo sounder installation, and this method of installation is a well known principle. A blister is well suited for refitting a vessel with an EM 2040 MKII system. The blister can also be used for other sonar and echo sounder transducers.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Flush mounted With the flush mount method the transducers are installed inside the ship's hull. This method exposes the transducers to passing air bubbles which might affect the system performance. The benefit of a flush mounted installation is that nothing protrudes from the keel.
Preparing the installation Externally mounted with fairings The transducer arrays can be mounted directly under the vessel’s hull. A fairing will usually be added around the transducers to ensure laminar water flow without any aeration problems. Installation with fairings has proven successful in former multibeam echo sounder installations.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Portable installation For temporary installations on a vessel the transducer might be deployed on a pole fixed to the bow or to the side, or in a moon pool. Main considerations when using a non-permanent installation •...
Preparing the installation Transducer installation using a hull unit A hull unit may be used to lower the EM 2040 MKII transducer into the water for use. When not in use, the transducer is retracted into a protective installation trunk. A hull unit is commonly used on sonars.
For more information, refer to the other descriptions and tasks in this chapter. Prerequisites In order to prepare the installation of the EM 2040 MKII transducer, the following prerequisites must be met: • All relevant literature is available.
Page 50
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual For more information, see: Where to install the transducer, page 28 Determine the installation principle. The decision must be based on: • The vessel drawings • The shape and properties of the hull For more information, see:...
The material in the transducer housing is Titanium. The EM 2040 MKII system is fully prepared for upgrading to cater for more demanding applications. Adding a second receive transducer increases the angular coverage. The cables are connected to the transducers with underwater connectors. The standard length of the transducer cables is 15, 30 or 50 metres.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Transducer orientation Correct location, orientation and alignment of the transducers is important for the performance of the system. The two transducers are normally mounted as “T” or “L” configurations under the vessel’s hull (Mills Cross configuration). The transmit transducer should be aligned parallel to the vessel’s keel.
Page 53
Installing the transducer To ease the cabling, each transducer can be mounted 180 degrees rotated (back to front). The relative heading between the RX and the TX shall always be 90 degrees. A transducer mounting plate is provided with the system to ensure accurate relative orientation of the transducers.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Transducer mounting plate To ease installation, a mounting plate is delivered with the transducers. The mounting plate is fitted with a guidance system that ensures that the transducers are aligned within the required accuracy.
Page 55
Installing the transducer Flatness The mounting structure must not deviate from a flat surface more than ± 0.2 mm. If the mounting plate is not used, the same requirement applies to the surface where the transducer is mounted. Applicable torque values The mounting plate must be bolted to the structure.
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Baffle for multipath reduction To avoid multipath via surface or other objects, it can be useful to mount a “baffle” on each side of the transmit transducer. The baffle must be made of POM (Polyoxymethylene) material.
Page 57
Installing the transducer Dual TX With a dual TX system a baffle plate should be mounted on each transmit transducer. The baffle should be mounted as for a single RX system. Related topics 359252 Baffle plate - 0.7 x 0.7 degrees, page 182 472405/A...
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Transducer cables and space requirement The transducer cables connect the transducers to the Processing Unit. The transducer cables are Ethernet cables fit with underwater connectors at the transducer ends. In addition the TX cable provides power to the transmit transducer.
Installing the transducer Cable support All cables must be supported and protected along their entire lengths using conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is over the final short distance (maximum 0.5 meters) as the cables run into the cabinets/units to which they are connected. These short service loops are to allow the cabinets to move on their shock mounts, and to allow maintenance and repair.
The transducer must be mounted so that it has a clear view of the bottom. Transmit transducer (TX) For EM 2040 MKII transmit transducer the optimal free viewing sectors relative to the transducer face are: 20 degrees in along direction...

Installing the transducer Rules for transducer handling To secure long life and accurate results, the transducer must be handled correctly. A transducer must always be handled as a delicate instrument. Incorrect actions may damage the transducer beyond repair. Observe these transducer handling rules: Do not activate the transducer when it is out of the water.
Page 68
KONGSBERG EM 2040 MKII Installation Manual Approved anti-fouling paints Because some paint types may be aggressive to the polyurethane in the transducer, consult our list of approved paints. Observe the relevant instructions and safety information provided by the paint manufacturer.
The anti-fouling paint will reduce the acoustical performance of the transducer. The surface roughness of the transducer substrate and the thickness of the paint may also influence the performance. Kongsberg Maritime cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences of the anti-fouling paint.

Dimensional surveying and alignment About dimensional surveying and alignment The EM 2040 MKII Multibeam echo sounder is a precision instrument for high quality data collection. In order to obtain precision data that are both detailed and correct, it is necessary to align the transducer, measure the location and offset of each sensor in relation to the vessel’s coordinate system, and calibrate the complete EM 2040 MKII prior to use.
The Dimensional survey measurement requirements are summarized in the chapter Technical specifications. Alignment To ensure a successful installation of the EM 2040 MKII system, all alignment and measurements must be done to the highest possible accuracy. The alignment tasks required for EM 2040 MKII include: •...
During the sea trials, calibration surveys are required as described in the EM 2040 MKII end user documentation. In order to check and verify the performance of the EM 2040 MKII system, we strongly recommend that calibration surveys are done at regular intervals, or prior to any large survey.

Dimensional surveying and alignment vertical and horizontal distances from a single reference point; the origin. The physical location of the motion reference unit (MRU) is often the most important sensor to define. For many systems, the vessel heading is also a critical measurement. In this example, a second reference point has been established.
