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).
Communication with the SSP requires the use of a secondary computer via a crossover
Ethernet cable.
1. Ensure that all system cable connections are mated properly.
2. Apply power to the system. The Windows® operating system will boot up and the
7kCenter (sonar control software) will start automatically.
3. Start the Sonar UI by double-clicking the icon on the operator desktop and select the
correct IP address in the Hardware pane (see section 4.2 Sonar User Interface
(SUI)).
4. Verify that the Power setting on the Main pane is set to OFF.
5. Once the system has been energized, follow these steps to verify that the system is
operating correctly:
The SSP is designed for operation under water. Operation in air for extended periods of time
will result in overheating and severe damage to the system. Transmitting in air should be
limited to low power levels and should be no longer than 1 minute in length with power ON.
Transmitting into air for any period of time may result in the damage of the ceramics of the
projector and will result in degraded performance.

d. Select Blue-Yellow from the Sonar Palette drop-down menu on the Display

e. Perform a receiver check by vigorously rubbing the face of the receiver unit
with fingertips while monitoring the display. A noise pattern should be barely
visible on the display.

presses an ear against the projector face. Continue to increase the power
until the assistant can hear pings (ticking sounds) emitting from the front of
the projector to just below FULL for a very short period.
g. Turn transmit Power to OFF as soon as possible.
