Secondary display
You can use one, two or three displays on your EK80 Processor Unit depending on
personal and/or operational preferences. The display is not a standard part of the EK80
delivery. This is a commercial item that can be purchased locally.
Any commercial display can be used with the EK80 Wide band scientific echo sounder,
provided that the display meets the minimum requirements. The chosen display must be
designed for maritime use, and it must meet the minimum performance specifications.
You must also make sure that the chosen display supports the video formats provided by
the Processor Unit.
Tip
If the distance between the Processor Unit and your second display is considerable, we
suggest that you use KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) technology to preserve the video
quality.
Kongsberg Maritime may provide a suitable display. Consult your local dealer or agent
for more information.

Global positioning system (GPS)
A global positioning system (GPS) must be connected to the EK80. When a global
positioning system (GPS) connected to the EK80, the vessel’s current geographical
position can be presented in the user interface. It will also provide latitude and longitude
information for the cursor and marker(s). In addition to navigational data, the global
positioning system (GPS) can also be used to provide speed information.
Note
Most global positioning system (GPS) can provide course information, but this data is
generally too inconsistent to provide a stable EK80 presentation.
The global positioning system (GPS) interface requirements are:
•
Serial line
: Standard NMEA 0183 datagram formats
•
Ethernet (LAN) line
: Standard NMEA 0183 datagram formats
