Environmental requirements
These specifications summarize the temperature requirements and other environmental
standards for the Flexview system.
Sonar Processor
The Sonar Processor uses a high-quality commercial-off-the-shelf laptop computer
workstation. This computer is intended to be installed inside in an area suitable for extended
human habitation. Contact your Kongsberg Mesotech representative for information about
the current model that is delivered with your Flexview system.
Sonar Head
Operating temperature
: -2° to + 38 °C
Storage temperature
: -40 to +55 °C
The stated operation temperature range is for the Sonar Head in water. The Sonar Head can
be powered on and started at temperatures between -20° to +45° C. There is a built-in
temperature monitor that will display a software warning message and automatically power
down the Sonar Head before it overheats.
Caution
The Sonar Head must not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
Prolonged exposure to ultra-violet rays and excessive heat may damage the surface of
the polyurethane transducer face. Store the Sonar Head in a cool, dry location away from
ozone sources (such as electric motors or welders).
Minimum computer requirements
Although a computer can be ordered from Kongsberg Mesotech as a part of the Flexview
delivery, it is also possible to purchase one locally.
If you purchase a computer locally, make sure that the chosen model meets the functional
and technical requirements.
It is important to make sure that the chosen computer model is relatively new with sufficient
processing power, a high performance graphic adapter, and a high speed network adapter.
We recommend a computer with a CPU that has a PassMark Software benchmark score of
10,000 or more (
passmark.com ).
PassMark Software is a Windows computer performance benchmarking utility. Computers
with a CPU score of 10,000 or higher have been tested with the Flexview. Lower-scoring
