  • Page 21: Verifying The Installation Parameters

    Verifying the installation parameters for the transducer, page 23 Verifying the installation parameters for the Navigation System Information from a few key sensors are vital for the MS70 accuracy. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, the physical locations of these sensors - normally referred to the Ship Origin - must be recorded in the MS70 setup.

  • Page 22: Verifying The Installation Parameters For The Mru

    Verifying the installation parameters for the MRU The physical rotation of the motion reference unit (MRU) relative to the transducer is required to allow the MS70 system to adjust for roll and pitch as accurately as possible. Prerequisites The relevant offset values can normally be taken from the vessel drawings. The information about the installation angles must be retrieved from the reports provided by the personnel that installed the equipment.

  • Page 23: Verifying The Installation Parameters For The Transducer

    - and other GPS systems - allow you to define the MRU location in the positioning system. If this is done, the MRU offset values in the MS70 system must be set to 0 (zero) to avoid "dual compensation". The rotation angles are normally not recorded by the positioning system.

  • Page 31: Verifying The Communication With The Motion Reference Unit (Mru)

    (MRU) The information from a motion reference unit (MRU) (normally heave, roll and pitch information) is imported into the MS70 system to increase the accuracy of the echo data. Context The motion reference unit (MRU) measures the roll and pitch movements of the vessel.
  • Page 32 Display Options Note To read the motion compensation values, the MS70 system must be transmitting (pinging). As long as the vessel is in port, you can not expect major changes in the values. Fill in the result tables.

  • Page 45: Measuring Noise In Passive Operating Mode

    Low noise is a key factor for high quality and reliable measurements. The performance of the MS70 system will always be limited by different noise sources. The noise is measured while the MS70 system operates in Passive mode with the transmit pulses disabled.
  • Page 46 Kongsberg MS70 Harbour Acceptance Test Context To read the noise level, use the Numerical view. Note This test must be considered as indicative. With the vessel in port, the environmental conditions are not satisfactory. In the shallow waters of the port, noise from other vessels, dockyard workers or machinery will cause unreliable test results.
