Page 29: Tools, Equipment And Consumables Required For Installation
If you need specific consumables, or if special tools and/or test instruments are required, these are identified in the relevant procedure(s). Personnel qualifications EM2042 is a flexible system that can be installed in many different ways. Use qualified personnel when needed. Contact Kongsberg if onsite installation assistance is required.
Page 30: Sonar Room Requirements
Requirements for electrical installations, cables and communication, page 31 Environmental requirements The EM2042 topside units must be installed in a dry and dust-free environment. The units are not fully protected against humidity, dust or moisture. It is important that the sonar room is kept clean and dry. The system units must not be exposed to excessive temperatures, dust, moisture or humidity.
Page 31: Requirements For Insulation, Heating And Ventilation

Page 32: Communication Requirements
Cabling requirements The sonar room units are connected to other EM2042 units located in different compartments on the vessel. The units may also be connected to peripheral devices. If these cables pass through hatches or areas where they may be damaged, they must be run in conduits.
Page 33: Where To Install The Transducer
Preparing the installation Where to install the transducer Topics Introduction to transducer location, page 33 Mount the transducer deep, page 33 Avoid protruding objects near the transducer, page 34 Keep the transducer far away from the propellers, page 35 Mount the transducer at a safe distance from bow thruster(s), page 35 Summary and general recommendations, page 35 Introduction to transducer location A single answer to the question "where to install the transducer"...
Page 34: Avoid Protruding Objects Near The Transducer
The effect of slamming can be reduced by mounting the transducer as deep as possible on the hull. Note Kongsberg Discovery AS takes no responsibility for any damages to the transducer, the cable or the mounting arrangement, caused by slamming. Avoid protruding objects near the transducer Objects protruding from the hull will generate turbulence and flow noise.
Page 35: Keep The Transducer Far Away From The Propellers
When in operation, the noise and cavitation bubbles created by the thruster may make your EM2042 transducer useless, almost no matter where it is installed. When the bow thrusters are not in operation, the tunnel creates turbulence. If your vessel is pitching, the tunnel may be filled with air or aerated water in the upper position and release this in the lower position.
Page 36 EM2042 Installation Manual Note Mounting the transducer more than 10–15 meters from the bow may cause problems with the turbulent flow. CD010496_001_001 A. Transducer C. Hull length at water line B. Inclination angle D. Maximum 1/3 of the hull length at...
Page 37 Preparing the installation Important: The transducer must not have a negative inclination angle compared to water flow. Do not place a transducer near protruding objects, and especially not close behind them. Make sure that the surface of the resulting installation is as smooth and streamlined as possible.
Page 38: Acoustic Noise
EM2042 Installation Manual Acoustic noise As with any other hydroacoustic systems, the quality of the EM2042 echo data and presentations are subject to unwanted acoustic noise. The echoes from any large and small target must be detected inside the noise.
Page 39: Self Noise
Preparing the installation therefore it is necessary to keep the noise level as low as possible in order to obtain high echo interpretation. The noise that contributes to the signal to noise ratio may be divided into the following types of noise: •...
Page 40: Electrical Noise
EM2042 Installation Manual Electrical noise Modern vessels are normally equipped with a lot of electric instruments such as hydroacoustic systems, radars, navigation systems, and communication equipment. Any electric instruments may in some cases cause electrical interference and noise. International regulations and certifications are used to control and reduce this, but even these are limited if the electrical systems are poorly installed and/or maintained.
Page 41 Preparing the installation • The laminar flow is a nicely ordered, parallel movement of the water. • The turbulent flow is a disorderly flow pattern, full of eddies. Turbulent flow Laminar flow Air bubbles Air bubbles absorb and reflect the sound energy, and they may in worst cases block the sound transmission altogether.
Page 42: Ambient Noise
EM2042 Installation Manual Interference Interference from other hydroacoustic equipment on board the same vessel may be an annoying source of disturbance. Unless the same frequency is used for more than one piece of equipment only the transmitted pulse will contribute to the interference.
Page 43 Preparing the installation the hull. Other factors deal with other equipment mounted on board, and this will also be vessel dependant. At moderate ship speeds the machinery noise is usually dominant. At medium speeds the flow noise increases more rapidly and takes over, while at higher speed the propeller noise will be the main contributor.
Page 44: Reducing Electrical Noise
• Make sure that all units are properly grounded. This is important to avoid electrical noise. • Use shielded cables with correct grounding. • Separate the cables used by the EM2042 system from other cables with high voltages, large currents or transients. • Place all high voltage power cables in metal conduits.

Page 46 Once the installation method is defined, the installation shipyard must provide the necessary drawings. These drawings must be approved by the vessel’s classification authority. If required, Kongsberg Discovery AS can assist with the required engineering. 110-0003725/B...
Page 47: Gondola
This is often the preferred installation approach for Kongsberg Discovery and the method that gives the optimum weather window and system performance. The gondola can be tailored to fit the ship and also the scope of supply.
Page 48: Blister
Blisters of different sizes and shapes have been used from the early days of echo sounder installation, and this method of installation is a well known principle. A blister is well suited for refitting a vessel with an EM2042 system. The blister can also be used for other sonar and echo sounder transducers.
Page 49: Flush Mounted
Preparing the installation Flush mounted With the flush mount method the transducers are installed inside the ship's hull. This method exposes the transducers to passing air bubbles which might affect the system performance. The benefit of a flush mounted installation is that nothing protrudes from the keel.
Page 50: Externally Mounted With Fairings
EM2042 Installation Manual Externally mounted with fairings The transducer arrays can be mounted directly under the vessel’s hull. A fairing will usually be added around the transducers to ensure laminar water flow without any aeration problems. Installation with fairings has proven successful in former multibeam echo sounder installations.
Page 51: Portable Installation
Preparing the installation Portable installation For temporary installations on a vessel the transducer might be deployed on a pole fixed to the bow or to the side, or in a moon pool. Main considerations when using a non-permanent installation • The mounting structure must be sufficiently rigid. Dynamic displacements of the transducer must be less than the installation accuracy requirements.
Page 52: Transducer Installation Using A Hull Unit
EM2042 Installation Manual Transducer installation using a hull unit A hull unit may be used to lower the EM2042 transducer into the water for use. When not in use, the transducer is retracted into a protective installation trunk. A hull unit is commonly used on sonars.

Page 65: Transducer Orientation
Installing the transducer Transducer orientation Correct location, orientation and alignment of the transducers is important for the performance of the system. The two transducers are mounted as “T” or “L” configurations under the vessel’s hull (Mills Cross configuration). The transmit transducer should be aligned parallel to the vessel’s keel.
Page 66: Cable Support
EM2042 Installation Manual Cable support All cables must be supported and protected along their entire lengths using conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is over the final short distance (maximum 0.5 meters) as the cables run into the cabinets/units to which they are connected. These short service loops are to allow the cabinets to move on their shock mounts, and to allow maintenance and repair.
Page 67: Transducer Mounting Plate
Installing the transducer Transducer mounting plate To ease installation, a mounting plate is delivered with the transducers. The mounting plate is fitted with a guidance system that ensures that the transducers are aligned within the required accuracy. We strongly advise using the mounting plate that is provided. The mounting plate is delivered with wedge-locking washers, which should be used.
Page 68: Adapter Plates

Page 69 Installing the transducer Flatness The mounting structure must not deviate from a flat surface more than ± 0.2 mm. If the mounting plate is not used, the same requirement applies to the surface where the transducer is mounted. Applicable torque values The mounting plate must be bolted to the structure.
Page 70: Rules For Transducer Handling
EM2042 Installation Manual Rules for transducer handling To secure long life and accurate results, the transducer must be handled correctly. You must always handle the transducer as a delicate instrument. Incorrect actions may damage the transducer beyond repair. Observe these transducer handling rules: Do not ping when the transducer is out of the water.
Page 71 The list of approved anti-fouling paints can be found on our website. • https://www.kongsberg.com/anti-fouling-paints Non-permanent transducer installations For non-permanent installations, rinse the transducer with fresh water every time you take it out of the water.
Page 72: Painting The Transducer Face
The use of anti-fouling paint will reduce the acoustical performance of the transducer. The properties of the transducer face combined with the thickness of the anti-fouling paint can also affect the overall performance. Kongsberg Discovery cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences of the anti-fouling paint.
Page 73 Installing the transducer Procedure Clean the transducer thoroughly. Make sure that you remove all oil grease residues, as well as salt and other contamination. Allow the transducer surface to dry. Abrade the transducer surface using a sanding paper with 240 inch grit size. Do not exceed a surface roughness (R ) of 35 microns as this can influence the transducer performance.

Page 151: About Dimensional Surveying And Alignment
Dimensional surveying and alignment About dimensional surveying and alignment The EM2042 Multibeam echo sounder is a precision instrument for high quality data collection. To obtain precision data that are both detailed and correct, it is necessary to align the transducer, measure the location and offset of each sensor in relation to the vessel’s coordinate system, and calibrate the complete system prior to use.
Page 152: Alignment
EM2042 Installation Manual The information provided by the dimensional survey is entered into the EM2042 software as installation parameters. Note Determining the relative positions and orientations of the sensors and the transducer with high accuracy is important. This requires professional surveying done by qualified and trained personnel using proven equipment and methods for maritime dimensional surveying.
Page 153: Calibration
Dimensional surveying and alignment Calibration Calibration surveys are required during the sea trials. The calibration procedures are provided in the relevant end user documentation. We strongly recommend that calibration surveys are done at regular intervals. As a minimum, calibration must be done prior to any large and/or important survey. The calibration process is described in detail in the Seafloor Information System (SIS) Operator Manual.
Page 154 EM2042 Installation Manual In order to establish a system to measure the relative distance between sensors, a virtual coordinate system is established. This coordinate system uses three vectors; X, Y and Z. A. The X-axis is the longitudinal direction of the (CD010101_300_001) vessel, and in parallel with the deck.
