Note
857-164688 / E
If only one GPT is used, you need a twisted pair cable with
swapped receive and transmit wires. The cable is connected
between the GPT and the echo sounder's Operator Station.
An Ethernet Hub is required if your system includes more than
one General Purpose Transceiver.
Straight through Ethernet cable must be used.
Serial lines
Connect navigation receiver and heave sensor with serial line
output to the rear of the echo sounder computer using RS-232
cables. Heave sensors with an analog output are connected
directly to the Auxiliary connector of the nearest transceiver.
Synchronization
Synchronous transmission is desirable if there are several echo
sounders onboard the vessel. For every echo sounder and every
transceiver onboard the ship, connect the appropriate pins at the
Auxiliary connectors together using a two-wire cable.
