1.3. Installation
Siting the CSP-SNv
The CSP-SNv delivers high energy, high voltage pulses, yet still emits minimal electrical
emissions, and so can carry the CE mark.
The CE marking ensure that the CSP-SNv can be sited next to sensitive electronic
equipment which carry their own CE marking (for susceptibility to emissions) and will
be unlikely to cause them interference. However it is often more convenient to locate
the CSP-SNv nearer to the back deck and the deployment area so that the high voltage
‘output’ cable run is minimised.
As high voltages are present, the CSP-SNv must be located away from water spray and
condensation, in an environment which is not allowed to become too hot. Care should
be taken t
o allow safe and easy access, and that high voltage cables are out of harm’s
way. It should also be possible to switch off the unit quickly without having to reach
over it!
Ventilation should also be present. All units draw air in from the rear and exhaust air
from the front. For operation in high ambient temperatures, the rear cover of the transit
case should be removed to allow a good air flow. If condensation is allowed to develop
serious damage may occur. Good room ventilation should be ensured, with no sudden
change in temperature (i.e. bringing the unit into a warm room from a cold area) and
allow the fans to operate for 10 - 15 minutes before switching on the high voltage.
The CSP-S
Nv Unit will normally be supplied from the factory in a ‘Hardigg’ tr
ansit case.
As is the case with all electronic equipment, care should be exercised in handling. For
maximum airflow in high ambient temperatures it is recommended that the anti-
vibration housing rear panel be removed. The CSP-SNv should be positioned on its
base in a dry ventilated area. Airflow for cooling is from back-to-front of the unit; there
must be at least 50-60mm clear room from the rear panel to any obstruction. If the
unit is to be operated in very warm ambient temperature (25°C or above), for optimum
performance an air conditioned environment is strongly advised. If the unit overheats,
it will switch OFF for a few minutes until it is cool.
Although the unit produces minimal interference, and carries a CE mark, it is often good
practice to put the CSP-SNv away from the navigation and survey equipment and
somewhere where cabling to the sound source can be run conveniently and safely. It is
this cabling which is the most common source of electrical interference.
