INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION System Overview The SeaBat T-Series Subsea is a new addition to the leading SeaBat product range engineered from the ground up to evolve with your business. The SeaBat T-Series Subsea sonar system is designed for mounting on an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, an AUV or ROV. The series is available in various configurations.
INTRODUCTION System Architecture The SeaBat T-Series Subsea sonar system consists of a Subsea Sonar Processor (SSP), a receiver unit, and a projector unit (or two projector units). The receiver and projector units each connects to the SSP via a dedicated cable. With AUV operation, the SeaBat T-Series Subsea sonar system is installed and configured to operate autonomously requiring only a startup command to function.
INTRODUCTION System Features Table 1: SeaBat T-Series Subsea Feature Pack Feature Base Optional Channel normalization Data logging internal to the SSP Dual head, full rate (FRDH) Dual head, standard FlexMode Head tilt Manual gates ...
Page 16
INTRODUCTION Beamforming: The beamformer performs initial signal processing: a combination of time delay and phase rotation techniques to maximize performance. Bottom detection: The special bottom detection algorithm uses a combination of center-of- energy and phase-zero crossing algorithms to detect the bottom in each individual beam with the highest possible robustness.
Page 17
INTRODUCTION Processing architecture: State-of-the-art processing architecture based on the standard Microsoft Windows® environment ensures genuine new features and productivity enhancements may be released over the life of the system in a user-friendly manner. Quality filters: Real-time bottom detection quality tests are performed to speed up processing and reduce time and costs.
INTRODUCTION X-range: The basis of X-Range is a frequency modulated (FM) transmission combined with advanced signal processing to extract the maximum possible range while maintaining ultra-high resolution. A further benefit of FM is increased immunity to external noise, as often encountered in marine environments, resulting in cleaner data.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Teledyne RESON assumes no liability if this product is operated in an unsafe manner. CAUTION Use of the equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may affect warranty situation (see Appendix G Warranty Information).
To scrape away marine growth from the arrays, use only a wooden tool. Do not apply any antifouling paint on the acoustic window unless the type is recommended by Teledyne RESON. The antifouling paint will affect the acoustic performance. Teledyne RESON recommends: o For high-frequency transducers (>100kHz) use International VC 17m.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION A long range of chemicals will destroy the polyurethane, which includes, but are not limited to: Acids Ketones (MEK, acetone) Automotive brake fluid Nitro hydrocarbons (nitrobenzene, aniline) Base Oil Grease ...
If the sonar head is not isolated from the mounting structure, galvanic corrosion will result in the mounting structure itself. NOTE Contact Teledyne RESON for additional information on schemes for electrical isolation. Exposure to Sunlight Do not allow the projector and receiver arrays to sit in direct sunlight when not in use, but cover the arrays with a bag.

SYSTEM STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN Pre-dive Checks Prior to deploying the SeaBat T-Series Subsea system into the water, perform the following checks. Inspect all system cables for signs of chafing or damage. Inspect the transducer arrays for any signs of damage or oil leakage. Inspect the SSP for any signs of damage.
SYSTEM STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN System Shutdown Instructions 3.4.1 AUV System Simply cutting power to the SSP can result in corrupted data files and problems with restarting the SSP Windows® 7-based operating system. Follow the shutdown instructions in this section carefully to prevent this from happening. To shut down the system via the VCC: Send remote control command 1000 to the 7k Center.
SYSTEM STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN Select the Shutdown option in the Application Settings dialog to shut down the sonar system. Click OK. This will terminate the connection to the SSP/sonar system from laptop/PC. Click the cross in the upper right corner of the Sonar UI to terminate the session. The Sonar UI will reload the same selection of sonar settings, once the system is started again.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WITH USER INTERFACE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WITH USER INTERFACE Chapter Overview NOTE With a ROV system, the Sonar UI is used for system configuration and operator control.

UUV SYSTEM OPERATION UUV SYSTEM OPERATION Chapter Overview This chapter includes instructions of the following subjects (click the emphasized hyperlink to be taken to the section): AUV System Operation: Consists of brief information on typical AUV operation. ROV System Operation: Consists of brief information on ROV operation. NOTE For information on system configuration and user interface navigation, refer to the RESON Sonar UI User Manual (see Appendix E Reference Documentation.
UUV SYSTEM OPERATION AUV System Operation The system will normally be operated autonomously. All communications will be via the Ethernet to/from the Vehicle Control Computer (VCC). Normal mission sequence will be: System installation, setup, and checkout – done through the Sonar UI (see Appendix B Installation Instructions, section 3 System Startup and Shutdown, and section 4 System Configuration with User Interface).
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Chapter Overview This chapter includes detailed instructions on the following subjects (click the emphasized hyperlink to be taken to the section): Enhancing Sonar Performance: Consists of examples on how to use the SUI controls to enhance sonar performance.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Enhancing Sonar Performance 6.2.1 Correct Range Setting Select the appropriate range scale to keep the horizontal bottom image at or above the widest part of the sonar wedge as visualized in Figure 2: If the Range is set too short the outer beams will be lost. If the Range is set too long, the results may be noisy data.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Figure 4: Range Setting – Too Short With the Range set too short, the outer beams formed are not long enough to reach the seabed. With no seabed in these beams the bottom detection process can only lock onto the noise in the water column.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.2.2 Transmit Power and Pulse Type Power level depends on pulse type: In CW mode, typically set Power at full for the most robust bottom detection at all ranges. In FM mode, the use of power may vary with range setting. Due to longer pulse lengths in this mode, more overall energy is transmitted into the water per ping than in CW mode.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Table 4: TVG Formula < α TVG = [log ) -1] + 2( /1000) ≥ ≥ Where: Absorption loss in dB/km α Extra gain from RxGain menu item An internally calculated gain applied until the TVG begins Range in meters Lowest range (in meters) from where the TVG formula operates Range in meters where the gain has reached highest possible value (which is 83dB)
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.6.1 Pulse Length and Image Resolution For a given power setting, a narrower pulse length will provide a higher resolution at a shorter range. A wider pulse length will provide better range but a lower resolution image. In certain conditions, for example in turbid waters, the narrower pulse length may not operate well.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.8.1 Coverage Angle The benefits of the variable swath feature are twofold: Increased sounding density in a small sector may be used when tracking pipes or other linear features, where the operator is not interested in data outside a defined sector. The increased sounding density helps define small targets.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.8.3 Horizontal Steering This setting allows the operator to steer the swath independently of the sonar head physical angle. The extent of steering is determined by the angle selected. The limitation is that the outer beam cannot be steered past 5° from the horizontal (see Figure 7). When the swath is steered this way, the individual beam widths increase with the steering angle.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.8.4 Minimum Grazing Angle The minimum grazing angle is a limitation for the non-equiangular beam modes of the sonar. This limitation is especially noticeable for a sonar with a tilted head (see section 6.3.4 below). With a tilted head for Equi-Angle beam mode, there is no minimum grazing angle and the outer beams can look ‘upwards’.
Page 50
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE In each mode (except FlexMode), the surveyor may choose the number of beams to be formed by using a slider. In Equi- Distant mode, an additional option is available which allows the surveyor to set the desired seafloor spacing with the slider.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.9.2 FlexMode Designed for pipeline or umbilical profiling. Provides equidistant beam spacing for the full swath coverage together with a high-density equiangular sector which may be steered toward the detail area of interest. In this mode the system is started with a 140° wedge and an alternative beam distribution is used which concentrates the majority of beams into a central sector.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Adaptive Gates: Forces bottom detection to occur around the seabed profile within an adaptive gating window typically set to 15-20% (of depth). This value should be increased over rougher terrain or over a rapidly changing sea floor where bathymetry is extreme in the vertical values.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Sonar head MinDepth MaxDepth Figure 11: Depth Gates, With Roll When controlled by a motion sensor, the depth gates will be parallel to the local horizontal plane of the earth even as the vessel rolls. Figure 12 shows the same bottom image with dynamic depth gates applied.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.2.10.2 Depth Gate Tilt Depth Gate Tilt is a feature that allows the operator to manually specify a tilt value for absolute gates. Tilted depth gates are beneficial when it is desirable to concentrate bottom detect operation efforts, e.g. on a sloping seafloor (see Figure 13). For instructions on how to adjust this setting, refer to the RESON Sonar UI User Manual (see Appendix E Reference Documentation).
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE When operating in harbor environments or over wrecks, where determination of least depth (or distance to object) is critical, these sonar controls are designed to increase safety of survey missions. The controls allow the surveyor to adjust detection sensitivity in order to detect weak reflecting objects in the water column closest to the sonar head assembly in addition to the main seafloor detection.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE When the vessel rolls the swath is rotated and the projected swath on the seafloor is laterally displaced. Figure 16: Laterally Displaced Swaths under Roll Conditions This has the effect of reducing the usable swath width due to the distortions on the edge.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE Horizontal seafloor and Horizontal seafloor with head Horizontal seafloor with head head set at 0° tilt physically set to -15° and head physically set to -15° and head tilt set to 0° tilt set to -15° Figure 18: Head Tilt Functionality 6.3.4.1 Harbor Inspection (Quaysides, Breakwaters) In this application a single head is typically tilted up to 30°...
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE from rivers etc. may influence sound propagation, but these mechanisms are difficult to measure and model, as they vary with time and only appear in a limited number of areas. However, as absorption and geometrical spreading exist everywhere in the underwater environment, they are considered to be the most important loss mechanisms.
If the local sound velocity is not known, Teledyne RESON recommends a value of 1480 to 1500m/s for open sea areas and 1425m/s for fresh water. Figure 22 provides a general reference for typical surface sound velocity at different temperatures and salinity.
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE It is recommended to change the SVP 70 filter mode to 0 when convenient and reset the SVP Filter to SVP Normal. For access to filtered and unfiltered values, please see the DFD messages R7510 and R7610. Refer to the Data Format Definition document for information (see Appendix E Reference Documentation).
ACTIVE SONAR USAGE 6.5.3 Interference from Other Sonar Systems Interference from other sonar systems can be seen as radial lines, typically moving away the minimum to maximum range scale as these pings are not correlated with the ping repetition rate of the SeaBat system.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES NOTE There are several factors that can have a significant effect on acoustic performance. For this reason, product performance estimates are indicative of standardized conditions for temperature, salinity, bottom type or target strength, sound velocity, installation type, and assume no affect from adverse environmental conditions such as wind, precipitation, sea state, ambient or traffic noise, refraction, temporal changes or other surface effects.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES System Components 7.1.1 Subsea Sonar Processor The Subsea Sonar Processor (SSP) is a high- performance unit offering a highly flexible platform that supports a number of functions, including highly accurate time-stamping, interfacing and time-stamping of external sensors, and optional beam data storage on an external Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES 7.1.2 EM7219-1 Receiver Unit (T20) The EM7219-1 receiver unit operates at multiple frequencies between 200kHz and 400kHz. For physical specifications, see appendix B.5.2 EM7219-1 Receiver Unit (PN 85002536) – T20. Rear view Front view Figure 24: EM7219 Receiver Unit 7.1.3 EM7218-1 Receiver Unit (T50) The EM7218-1 receiver unit operates at multiple frequencies between 200kHz and 400kHz.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES Selectable Beam Density Selectable beam density is a feature which allows the surveyor to decide how many beams to form ranging from the maximum capability of the system down to just 10. This allows the surveyor to be able to capture the highest detail using the highest beam density available, but alternatively maximize efficiency by using fewer beams in very shallow water where data volumes traditionally become large quickly due to high beam numbers and high ping rates.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES 7.2.2 Equi-Distant, Equi-Angle, and Intermediate Modes As the beam steering angle increases from nadir, the number of beams per degree of swath stays constant for equiangular spacing while it increases for equidistant spacing. Figure 29 presents the number of beams as a function of steering angle for a 1°...
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES Assuming one sounding is generated from the intersection of the beam center with the seafloor, with equidistant spacing, the appropriate number of beams is formed to maintain this nadir sounding spacing across the entire swath. See also Figure 31. Reduced Center-to-Center Spacing at Large Steering Angles Wider Center-to-Center...
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES Data Types 7.3.1 Bathymetry Data The SeaBat T-Series Subsea system generates between 10 and 512 soundings per ping. The system broadcasts from the sonar processor to the data acquisition software, where they are corrected for mechanical offsets, motion, heading, refraction, tide or depth, and position. To perform these corrections, the appropriate sensors must be interfaced to the data acquisition software.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES A snippets data sample contains backscatter data from the ‘footprint’ on the seabed illuminated by a single sonar ping. The number of snippets in a swath is a function of the number of sonar beams. The length of each snippet depends on the operating mode, beam number, and depth. All of these settings may be selected by the operator.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES Multi-Detect Multi-detect is a feature which provides multiple detections within each beam, including the full water column. It allows the surveyor to capture enhanced detail from a single survey line over a complex feature, or ensure that full detail is captured of any object in the water column, even in noisy environments.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES The standard dual head implementation uses time multiplexing to achieve synchronized operation. The result is reduced ping rate per head and asymmetric sea floor swaths. FRDH uses X-Range (see 7.4 above) to achieve dual head operation which has the double effect of range and ping rate increase.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES Adaptive gate Bottom detection point Comparison window Figure 38: Brightness Test 7.7.2 Colinearity Test In general terms, this test will pass if a bottom detection point sample number for a given beam falls on or near a line drawn through its neighboring beams' bottom detection points. This is achieved using a moving polynomial fit of the points on either side of each point.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND DATA TYPES 7.7.3 Quality Filter A quality filter makes it possible to not display or export bottom detection points which do not pass the quality criteria. Enabling the quality filter has the following effects: The corrected bathymetric data record will only contain the detection points that pass the quality filtering.
UUV. In general, Teledyne RESON recommends the use of the optional fairing to maintain a steady water flow around the array and reduce load on the pole/bracket.

Therefore, for full EMC compliance to conducted emission standards, it may be required that the installation includes a customer-provided filter, e.
CAUTION Do not open the Fill valve (for Teledyne RESON use only). Noncompliance will affect warranty situation (see Appendix G Warranty Information). Dual head configurations with two SSPs are also available.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS B.5.8 Sonar Head Assembly Orientation The sonar head assembly should be mounted with the faces of the arrays oriented vertically downwards. Ideally, the receiver is mounted across track, while the projector is mounted along track and aft of the receiver. If necessary, the projector may be oriented forward or the head rotated away from vertical with allowances made in the processor setup and data acquisition software.
Select as appropriate one of the preset bracket configurations or enter custom values. Preset Configurations: NOTE Preset configurations can only be used with Teledyne RESON standard brackets for receiver and projector(s). If a standard bracket is not used the customer configuration should be used instead.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS System Check Once the SeaBat T-Series Subsea has been installed, follow these steps to ensure that the system is working properly. For information on the settings, refer to the RESON Sonar UI User Manual (see appendix E.1 SeaBat T-Series Subsea Documentation). NOTE Communication with the SSP requires the use of a secondary computer via a crossover Ethernet cable.
