3.3.1 Grounding
It is important that the MA-X View 600 Sonar System be well grounded to
minimize potential hazards to the operator and electrical interference from other
equipment. A good ground for the system is a low impedance, well conducted path
to sea water. Always check the quality of the electrical ground by verifying that the
AC power source ground has no voltage potential with respect to the vessel hull.
3.3.2 Rack Mount TPU and SonarPro Workstation Circuit
Breakers
The main AC power input line is protected by a switch/circuit breaker in both the
Rack Mount TPU and the SonarPro Workstation. The one on the Rack Mount TPU
is located on the front panel on the far right as shown in Figure 3-4 on page 3-16.
The one on the SonarPro Workstation is located on the back panel just to the right
of the AC INPUT connector as shown in Figure 3-3 on page 3-10. To reset a
switch/circuit breaker, switch it to ON.

Towfish Setup
Towfish setup encompasses attaching the stabilizer fins and connecting the tow
cable. Before connecting the tow cable to the towfish, check that the retaining
bolts securing the towfish nose cone and tail cone are tight.
3.4.1 Attaching the Stabilizer Fins
To attach the stabilizer fins:
1.
Using the knob, loosen the tail cone retaining bolt.
2.
Pull the tail cone slightly away from the towfish housing.
3.
Insert the two stabilizer fins into the slots in the tail cone.
4.
Tighten the tail cone retaining bolt.
