3.1.2 Unpacking the SonarPro Workstation
Remove the SonarPro Workstation from the shipping container, and set it on a
sturdy, flat surface. Inspect the SonarPro Workstation for signs of damage. If there
is any damage or if any items are missing, immediately contact Klein Marine
Systems, Inc. or your KMS sales representative. Record the serial numbers of the
computer modules.
3.1.3 Unpacking the Sonar Head Unit and Deck Cable
The Sonar Head Unit and the deck cable are shipped in a reusable crate. Open the
crate and inspect the Sonar Head Unit for damage. If there is any damage or if any
items are missing, immediately contact Klein Marine Systems, Inc. or your KMS
sales representative. Record the serial number of the Sonar Head Unit. The serial
number can be found on the aft end of Sonar Head Unit mounting flange opposite
the FWD label.
3.2 Locating the Topside System Components
The TPU and the SonarPro Workstation should be located in an area that is
protected from weather and spray and where the temperatures are consistently
between 0°C and 35°C (32°F and 95°F). The location should also be near the
Sonar Head Unit or be adequately equipped with devices for communicating with
launch personnel. If separately mounting components in a 19-inch rack, ensure
that the rack is properly secured and that there is ample room behind it for
connecting the cables. A thick layer of foam should also be placed under the rack
for shock isolation, and the back of the rack should be left open for proper air flow.
Support the units inside the rack using appropriate mounting brackets, shelves or
slides as needed and secure the front panels to the front of the rack where possible
using standard 19-inch rack front panel mounting hardware.
3.3 Power Requirements
The TPU and the SonarPro Workstation require 100–125 or 200–250 VAC,
50–60 Hz power to operate. The HydroChart 5000 Sonar System is designed to
protect against over and under voltage and transient spikes. However, it is always
best to check the power source carefully using a voltmeter or oscilloscope before
operating the equipment.
CAUTION
Application of improper AC power may damage the
HydroChart 5000 Sonar System. Do not turn the equipment on until the
supply voltage and frequency have been checked.
