Configuration - Simrad ES70 - INSTALLATION REV A Installation Manual

Simrad ES70
• Video cable from computer to display monitor.
• Connect the pointing device (mouse or trackball)
• Connect the keyboard.
5 Mount the General Purpose Transceiver (GPT) using the appropriate brackets.
Connect the cables to the transceiver:
6
• Transducer cable(s)
• Power cable(s)
• If applicable, install a two-wire cable for remote on/off of the General Purpose
Transceiver(s).
7 Prepare and install the Ethernet cable(s) between the transceiver(s) and the computer:
• If only one transceiver is used, you need a twisted pair cable with swapped
receive and transmit wires. The cable is connected between the transceiver and
the computer.
• If your system includes more than one transceiver, an Ethernet switch is required.
Prepare and install the required sensor interfaces.
8
• Connect navigation system (GPS), trawl system and heave sensor. You can
connect these using serial lines to the rear side of the ES70 computer, or you can
connect the sensors using an Ethernet cable from the ship network.
If required, prepare and install the synchronization cable(s).
9
• Synchronous transmission is desirable if there are several echo sounders
on-board the vessel. For every echo sounder and every transceiver on-board the
ship, connect the appropriate pins at the
a two-wire cable.
• Synchronisation can also be achieved using a serial line on the computer, or by
means of the
