(see Appendix J Standard Warranty Information). Operator Safety The SeaBat T-Series Rackmount system should be handled with attention to operator safety as well as protection of the hardware components. General precautions include: DO NOT connect or disconnect cables with the power on.
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 ClearSignal.

Do not overtighten bulkhead nuts. Grip main body of connector during mating or unmating. Do not pull on cable to disconnect. Avoid sharp bends at cable entry to connector. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 10 December 15, 2021 Version 9...
We therefore recommend electrical isolation between the sonar head and mounting structure. CAUTION Do not use sacrificial anodes on a SeaBat™ bracket. Sacrificial anodes lead to unwanted cathodic reaction and does not offer electrical isolation. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 11 December 15, 2021 Version 9...
Teledyne RESON recommends using the standard bracket delivered with the system. The standard bracket is made of high-strength fiber reinforced material and will therefore isolate the sonar head completely from the mounting arrangement.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CE Marking This product carries the CE mark that indicates that it conforms to the essential health, safety, and environmental requirements of the relevant European Directives. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 13 December 15, 2021 Version 9...

The following subsections provide examples of different kinds of limitations. 5.5.1 Cavitation Some reduction in the transmitted source level is expected to be caused by cavitation. For means of compensating for this, see subsections in 5.2 above. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 40 December 15, 2021 Version 9...
A poorly designed sonar fairing can degrade the system performance by a factor of 4 for speeds above 8-10 knots. Typically, this noise source is the most common problem on all sonar installations. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 41...
5.5.6 Environment A high-reverb environment where echoes of the previous ping are contaminating the current ping may prove to be difficult. For means of compensating for this, see section 5.2.3 above.

Costs for this survey may be quoted as part of a contract or independently. The SeaBat T-Series Rackmount sonar systems produce four types of data, bathymetry, side- scan, snippets backscatter and water column backscatter, suitable for the generation of high- resolution hydrographic charts that exceed international standards.

Data Types 6.3.1 Bathymetry Data The SeaBat T-Series Rackmount system generates between 10 and 1024 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.
An accurate calculation of the sediment backscattering strength requires a detailed knowledge of the sonar characteristics and of the environment. Teledyne RESON’s normalized backscatter process, available across the entire frequency range, is applied to the snippet record to generate a magnitude signal that is compensated for the characteristics of the sonar providing the operator with information that depends only on the environment (seafloor).
While Teledyne RESON uses generic parameters to characterize the sonar, we take great pride in our very tight manufacturing tolerances to ensure that these parameters truly represent each unit.
Multi-detect is an optional add-on feature (see Table 1). X-Range is an optional add-on feature (see Table 1). FRDH is available as an upgrade to the Base license set (see Table 1).

GAMS Parameter Setup Prior to a GAMS calibration any existing GAMS vector parameters should be zeroed out. Record the previous settings prior to zeroing. Choose Settings > Installation > GAMS Param. Setup. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 103 December 15, 2021 Version 9 Uncontrolled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
The GAMS calibration is best performed with highest positional reliability. This means that Nav Status should read at best FIXED RTK or RTCM DGPS if RTK is not available. Ensure that differential corrections are received before commencing a GAMS calibration.

During the vessel maneuvers, monitor the Heading Accuracy as indicated below. After clicking Standby it will momentarily reset to 55.000. During the vessel maneuvers it will start to decrease, at first rapidly then slowing as the accuracy reaches its limit.

IMU whose origin is the IMU reference point as marked on the top. The accelerometers are assumed to be co-aligned with the machined housing of the IMU. SeaBat T-Series Rackmount Operator's Manual Page 109 December 15, 2021 Version 9 Uncontrolled Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page.
Under ideal circumstances the IMU should be mounted on the center line of the vessel close to the center of rotation/gravity. The IMU reference mark may then become the CRP.

Y is the pitch alignment and Z is the heading alignment in the Tate/Bryant system. If the IMU and reference frames are perfectly co-aligned e.g. by means of an adjustable mounting plate then these values will all be zeros (as in the above example).
