This web site refers to UK waters and relates to air guns as the sound source (in many ways different to a sparker or boomer), but should serve as a useful guide nonetheless. CSP-CSPD-8000/2- Section 1 Page 9 of 30...
This maybe effective in certain instances where more penetration is required. The CSP-Ds monitor the output of the system for open circuit fault conditions and over current fault conditions, limited to approx 5000A. CSP-CSPD-8000/2- Section 1 Page 10 of 30...

‘specifications’ The above tables denote the ability of the charger to perform under certain line voltage conditions, and not the complete system. We do not recommend operating the CSP-D units below the minimum voltages listed in the specification section of this manual. CSP-CSPD-8000/2- Section 1 Page 16 of 30...

For example, at 300J / shot the CSP-D models will run at 5 PPS. At 1200J (or 1250J), the CSP-D 1200 and 2400 will operate at 1 pulse per second, with a little in reserve. CSP-CSPD-8000/2- Section 1 Page 18 of 30...

The rear panel of the units has 2 fold-down handles to ease installation, and also has 2 fan filters for the cooling air intake. These filters should be periodically cleaned to ensure maximum air flow. This can be done with a small stiff brush. CSP-CSPD-8000/2- Section 1 Page 25 of 30...

Despite being heavily insulated, the HV cable should not be touched or held when the unit is operating. The load should always be in the water before operation. Crewmembers should be made aware of these facts during mobilisations. CSP-CSPD-8000/2- Section 1 Page 26 of 30...
