  • Page 4 Kongsberg Maritime AS About this Quick Setup Guide The purpose of this manual is to provide the information, procedures and basic drawings required for the physical installation of the EM 2040 PHS (Portable Hydrographic System). Target audience The manual is intended for technical personnel. You are expected to have basic mechanical skills and familiarity with handling of sensitive electronic equipment.
  • Page 5 Kongsberg Maritime AS Introduction The KONGSBERG EM 2040 PHS is designed for quick mobilization. If this is your first time using the system, then follow the below instructions and by the end you should be ready to start a professional hydrographic survey in no time.
  • Page 6 Seapath 130 software as well as the SeaCast software for the surface sound velocity probe and the sound velocity profiler. The HWS is a vital part of the EM 2040 PHS Portable Hydrographic System (PHS). In this publication, the laptop is referred to as the Hydrographic Workstation (HWS).
  • Page 7 The EM 2040P can be delivered with an integrated AML SV probe or a separate SV Probe. In the EM 2040 PHS, the Sonar Head is attached to the bottom of the Pole Mount. The Sonar Head connects to the PPU through a head cable with an Ethernet data connection.
  • Page 8 Kongsberg Maritime AS Rack mount traveling case The PHS system can be delivered with a rack mount traveling case for the Processing unit and laptop. The traveling case is delivered with PU and a 3710 DGNSS receiver (optional) preconnected for a quick and easy setup. Simply remove the three lids on the unit, connect and start.

  • Page 10 • The GPS Mast for mounting the Seapath 130 sensor unit. • The Compact Mount for attaching to your gunwale. • The Z Pole and EM 2040 PHS flange for mounting the Sonar Head, Motion Reference Unit, and sound speed sensor.
  • Page 11 If you want a high quality survey at high speeds this requires a very rigid installation. Generally, 7 knots of vessel speed is typical with an EM 2040 PHS before a bit of wobble is noticed through the pole. This is installation dependent, a very rigid installation will experience better performance.
  • Page 12 Kongsberg Maritime AS Latest design of the Seapath MRU mounting flange allows for mounting the MRU both ways. It also has an improved assembly design that ensures repeatability in installation offsets. The sonar head should be placed under the keel when the pole is down, in such a way the motion of vessel will never cause the sonar to come out of the water.
  • Page 13 Kongsberg Maritime AS On the sonar head flange adapter there are several clamps that are well suited to run the cables for the SV probe and the sonar head. Also, when using the Tilt adapter, it’s easy to get most cables through the pole. This is generally recommended if a tilt adapter is available.
  • Page 14 Kongsberg Maritime AS The Portable PU (PPU) should be placed in a well-ventilated area inside the vessel. Electrical isolation is an integral part of the entire mounting pole to avoid corrosion on the systems attached. However, as the EM 2040P housing is of aluminium, regular inspection and preferably Zink anodes should be used.
  • Page 15 Kongsberg Maritime AS Alternative mounting pole solution - Overside Mount The Kongsberg’s over-the-side mounting package is designed for installation on Vessel of Opportunity (VOOP) and it provides mounting arrangement for the sonar head, MRU/IMU (motion sensor), GNSS antennas, and SV Probe. It comes with Installation Manual and offset lookup table for easy, accurate and precise setup.

  • Page 17 Kongsberg Maritime AS USM mount option for Inflatable VOOP (Vessel of Opportunity) The USM mounting package for a Vessel of Opportunity (VOOP) was designed to fit into the smallest, lightest Pelican cases possible giving you everything you need to set up including MRU/IMU (Motion Sensor) and GNSS antennas.
  • Page 18 Kongsberg Maritime AS First time system setup The system has been set up before shipping, and to get the system started you need only to plug in all the components and start the PPU and laptop. However, as offsets may vary with the type of sonar mount and the vessel it’s mounted on, it is important to...

  • Page 32 Kongsberg Maritime AS Configuring the offsets/inputs/outputs in Seapath 130 The position sensor offsets should be defined from the Survey Origin (same as NRP in our case) to the position reference point on the primary Seapath antennae. The motion sensor offsets should be defined from the Survey Origin (same as NRP in our case) to the MRU.
  • Page 33 Kongsberg Maritime AS Vessel Geometry Select Vessel → Geometry. In the Vessel Geometry view, information needed to specify correct location of various sensors, equipment and monitoring points on a vessel is entered. The drawing is correctly scaled based on the vessel dimensions to ensure correct indication of the various points.
  • Page 34 Kongsberg Maritime AS GNSS Geometry Select Sensors→ GNSS → Geometry. The lever arm vector from the NRP to GNSS Antenna 1 has to be measured or calculated based upon drawings or previously measured points, and entered into the software. This is the location of the antennas on the mounting pole with respect to the NRP.

Other index marks can be found on the pole offset drawing (a separate document associated with this Quick Start Guide). Also, Kongsberg provides an Excel Sheet to help calculating the correct XYZ offsets for different mounting options.

  • Page 39 Kongsberg Maritime AS RTCM Data Output (For Logging in SIS) Click on TelegramOut5; configure as follows. Select to output Delayed Heave over UDP port 31103. Logging RTCM allows for a lot of positioning post-processing options (PPP and PPK). It is recommended to log this output in SIS if you are not using a correctional service to improve your position.
  • Page 40 Kongsberg Maritime AS Delayed Heave Click on TelegramOut6; configure as follows. Select to output Delayed Heave over UDP port 31102 @ 100 Hz. Can be logged in SIS or Seapath. It is important to reference the Delayed Heave (PFREEHEAVE) to the sonar head when using SIS 4.x.x as this will ease the workflow during data post-processing for many customers.
  • Page 41 Kongsberg Maritime AS Configuration Parameters and vectors for the GNSS antennas, monitoring points and MRU (P2X output for logging in SIS) It is also possible to output and log configuration parameters and vectors for the GNSS antennas, monitoring points and MRU. These configuration parameters are available through the proprietary NMEA formats P25, P26 and P27.
  • Page 42 Kongsberg Maritime AS Raw IMU Data Output (For logging in SIS) Click on TelegramOut8; configure as follows. Logging Raw IMU data allows for post- processing of IMU data (smoothing and other options). Raw IMU data can be logged in SIS or Seapath.
