Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations Related topics Preparations, page 29 Personnel qualifications The installation of the CP60 system is a demanding task. Installation tasks must only be done by fully trained personnel. As a minimum, the following certified personnel must be available: •...
CP60 system units must be well protected against dust, dirt and damage. Kongsberg Maritime AS takes no responsibility for any failures or damage to CP60 system units that are caused by installation, maintenance or construction work in the sonar room.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations Visit the sonar room at regular intervals to check for dust, high temperature and humidity. Take the necessary actions if the environmental conditions are poor. We recommended that you keep the ambient temperature between +5 and +40°C, and the relative humidity less than 80%.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual The sonar room must be large enough to house all the system units. The room must provide enough space to allow efficient maintenance. You must be able to keep all the cabinet doors fully open without undue restriction to your movements.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations pipe. To keep out sea water, rain and spray, the ventilation pipes must be fitted with goosenecks or an equivalent design. Note If the vessel is likely to operate in tropical conditions, a suitable air conditioning system must be installed.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual Related topics Preparations, page 29 Sonar room requirements, page 34 Requirements for bilge pump and decking If the sonar room is located below the water line, it must be connected to the vessel's bilge pump system.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations 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.
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...
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations Mount the transducer at forward part of hull to minimize the effects from the flow boundary water layer The upper water layers of the sea contain a myriad of small air bubbles created by the breaking waves. When the hull moves through water it will cause a disturbance, and this will generate friction.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual Keep the transducer far away from the propellers The propulsion propellers is the dominant noise source on most vessels. The noise is easily transmitted through the water. This noise may often reduce the overall performance of your CP60 transducer.
Page 43
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations The maximum distance from the bow is normally equal to one third of the total water line length of the hull. Note Mounting the transducer more than 10–15 meters from the bow may cause problems with the turbulent flow. Transducer Hull length at water line Inclination angle...
Page 44
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 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.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations Acoustic noise As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the CP60 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.
Page 46
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual expressed in decibels. A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise. While SNR is commonly quoted for electrical signals, it can be applied to any form of signal [...].
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations The converters transform the analogue echoes to digital format. Signal processing circuitry can create digital noise. Related topics Preparations, page 29 Acoustic noise, page 45 Self noise Any vessel equipped with a hydroacoustic system (for example echo sounder or sonar) will produce more or less self noise.
Page 48
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual Cavitation Cavitation is the formation of small air bubbles close to the transducer face. The bubbles appear because the local pressure becomes negative during parts of the acoustic pressure cycles. The cavitation threshold increases with the hydrostatic pressure.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations thickness depends on ships speed and on the roughness of the hull. All objects sticking out from the hull, or dents in the hull, will disturb the flow and will increase the thickness of the boundary layer. When the flow speed is high, the turbulence can be violent enough to destroy the integrity of the water.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual Related topics Preparations, page 29 Acoustic noise, page 45 Fishing gear noise Whenever your fishing gear is in use, it will create noise. A bottom trawl, for instance, is a considerable source of acoustic noise. Still, this noise from the fishing gear will seldom be a limiting factor for hull mounted sonars or echo sounders.
Page 51
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations Note The information here must be considered as general advice. Each system installation must be handled separately depending on the hull design and the other electrical and mechanical systems installed on the vessel. Reducing flow noise The shape of the transducer (or dome around it) must be as streamlined as possible.
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Simrad CP60 Installation Manual Reducing rattle noise Ensure that no parts near the transducers can rattle as a result of water flow or vibrations. 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.
Page 53
Preliminary version 2022-07-26 Preparations are physically positioned far away from the transducer, 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.
