Connecting the Topside System Components
3-11
For the connector pinouts and pin orientations for each of the connectors on the
SP-III TPU side panel, refer to Table 3-3 through Table 3-8. For the connector
pinout and orientation of the towfish jumper cable connector, refer to Table 3-2.
To connect the SP-III TPU and laptop computer:
1.
Connect the Ethernet crossover cable to the LAN connector on the SP-III TPU
and to the Ethernet port of the laptop computer.
2.
Connect a GPS to the NAV connector on the SP-III TPU. A user supplied
RS-232 serial cable is required where one end is terminated with a DB9
female connector and the other end is as required by the navigation system
3.
Verify that the GPS is outputting NMEA-0183 formatted data strings at
4800 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. In addition, the GPS should be
outputting the following messages:
• GLL or GGA
• VTG
• RMC (optional)
WARNING Before connecting the topside system components, verify that
the SP-III TPU is turned off and that its power cable is disconnected.
Failure to follow this practice may result in personal injury or damage to
the towfish or to the SP-III TPU electronics, or to both. For the location of the power
switch, refer to “Topside System Controls and Indicators” on page 3-15.
NOTE
If 4800 baud is not available from the GPS, contact KMS customer
service for instructions on how to reconfigure the system to accept a
different baud rate. Refer to “Customer Service” on page xvi for
information on how to contact KMS customer service.
