SE-200 Overview

TYPICAL SE-200 SONAR
FLAT PANEL VGA OR VIDEO
The SE-200 Sonar Engine is designed to work with
MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY
various multifunction and flat panel displays that have
either composite video or VGA inputs.
The basic system consists of a red colored sonar engine
box (that contains the phased array transmitters and
receivers), a remote keyboard—typically located close
to the display or an Interphase VGA display with
KEYPAD
integral keypad, and choice of phased array transducer
(s) which connect directly to the sonar engine box as
KEYPAD CABLE
shown at left. The remote keypad or the integral
VGA OR VIDEO CABLE
keypad on the Interphase VGA display controls all
system functions including turning the power ON/OFF.

The SE-200 Sonar Engine is capable of working with
different transducers to scan vertically, horizontally and
downward. Interphase offers three basic systems that
come pre-packaged with the red sonar box, remote
SE-200 SONAR ENGINE
keypad, basic video and VGA cables and transducers.
These systems are identified as:
1)
SE-200A (With thru-hull or transom mount vertical
scanning transducer. This configuration scans a 90-
30'
degree forward vertical segment and looks down, but
does not scan horizontally).
TRANSDUCER(S)
2) SE-200B (With single thru-hull or two transom
mount transducers. This configuration scans a 90-
degree forward vertical segment, a 90-degree horizontal
segment and looks downward.)
VGA CABLE

3) SE-200C (With two thru-hull transducers— one for
either side of the vessels keel. This configuration scans
a 90-degree forward vertical segment, a full 180 -
degree forward horizontal segment and also looks
downward.)
SE-200 SONAR ENGINE
Other than different transducers, the installation for any
of these systems is the same, as are the basic features
and operation of the unit. The system software can be
set to operate as either an SE-200A, SE-200B or SE-
30'
200C, depending on which transducer(s) are connected.
