3.4.3 Line Voltage (IEC Connector)
The BATS line voltage can be in the range of 98 – 132 volts or 170 – 264 volts; 50 – 60 Hz. Users do not
need to manually change the input voltage. This is because the BATS’ power supply unit determines if the
input voltage is 115VAC or 230VAC, and will automatically switch if a higher range is detected. However,
if the voltage does above 170 volts, the high range minimum, the system does not automatically switch
to the lower range, instead the BATS must be turned off and back on. Connect the desktop unit to a
suitable power source using the IEC AC cable. Connect the Portable Transceiver from the Power Cord,
shown in
F
IGURE
3-21 , to a suitable power source.
WARNING!
If using an inverter to power the Deck Unit from a battery, make sure that
the inverter’s ground contact is tied to the sea water. This connects the
box/chassis to sea water potential and not float to a dangerous potential.
3.4.4 Ethernet Cable Wiring (Between BATS & PC)
Connect provided Ethernet Cable between the BATS console (rear panel) and the PC. The Ethernet cable
is 10-base-T and runs at 100MHz. A straight through cable is required (BATS console performs cross-over).
Connect the Ethernet Cable (0002474) to the Transceiver’s “ETHERNET & 1PPS” underwater connector as
shown in
F
IGURE
3-23
. At the other end connect the “BATS LINK” cable (RJ45 Jack) to the PC. This TCP/IP
communication link configures the Transceiver (target & system parameters) using the BATS TrackMan
software. The Transceiver also sends target data to the PC for further processing and display.
3.4.5 Hydrophone Cable
Connect the Hydrophone/Interrogator Deck Cable Model 4113C-DT, shown in F
IGURE
3-9 , from the
Hydrophone to the Transceiver Model. The Deck Cable mates to the Transceiver by lining up MS connector
on the Cable with Hydrophone input connector on BATS unit. Thread the collar / locking sleeve down over
the bulkhead connector on the Transceiver pushing in on the connector body while turning locking sleeve.
Connect the Hydrophone Deck Cable Model 4113C, shown in
F
IGURE
3-7 , from the Hydrophone to the
Transceiver Model 4461A. The Deck Cable mates to the Transceiver by lining up the pins in both
connectors and pushing together. The mated connection is then held together with the locking sleeves.
3.4.6 BATS – Rackmount PC and Keyboard / Display
The following sub-sections describe the Rackmount PC and Keyboard / Display connections.
