transducer. You can not see this information, but it is used by the EK80 to set up the
operational parameters. This allows each transceiver to optimise its performance for
the individual transducer models.

If you cannot find your transducer in the list, contact you dealer, agent or Kongsberg
Maritime to upgrade the relevant software component in the EK80.

Note

Just making changes and selecting

OK

at the bottom of the page will not install anything.

Select what to install, define the relevant parameters, and then select

Add

.

If your EK80 shall only be used with an ADCP transceiver for current profiling, you
do not need to install other transducers.

Procedure

1

Open the

Setup

menu.

2

On the

Setup

menu, select

Installation

.

Observe that the

Installation

dialog box opens. This dialog box contains a number

of pages selected from the menu on the left side.

3

On the left side of the

Installation

dialog box, select

Transducer Installation

.

4

Select the transducer you wish to install from the

Model

list.

Note

Make sure that you select a transducer that is supported by your current license.

5

Insert the serial number.

This serial number is very important, because you will need it as a reference
identification when the EK80 is calibrated. Some new Simrad transducers with
built-in "intelligence" will automatically provide this serial number.

6

Type the name you wish to use into the

Custom Name

box.

Type any name that you wish to use to identify the transducer. The name you select
will only be used to identify the transducer in other dialog boxes. It is not used in
the echo data that you export. If you do not have a computer keyboard connected to
your EK80 system, select the

Keyboard

button to open an on-screen keyboard.

7

Select mounting method.

8

Specify the orientation of the transducer beam.

9

If relevant for your transducer installation, provide the accurate physical location of
the transducer with reference to the vessel’s coordinate system.

Setting to work
