5. Configuration
The Micron Echosounder is configured at the factory and it is not normally possible to re-
configure it in the field.
5.1. Connecting the Echosounder to other Micron products
Note
When daisy chained, the Micron Echosounder should be placed at the end of the
chain. In the example of a Micron Sonar and Responder setup, the Echosounder
should be placed on the
AUX
port of the Responder.
In this situation you will need to make sure that the
AUX
port of the responder is
set to a communication protocol and baud rate that matches your Echosounder.
Compatible products are the MicronNav Responder (AUX port), and MK2 or MK3 Micron
Sonar (AUX port). It is recommended that the Echosounder is set as below:
• RS485
• 3P2 string (xxx.xxm<CR><LF>) or 2P3 string (xx.xxxm<CR><LF>)
• Free running mode
• Zero No Return
• No analogue output (unless using a custom cable).
5.2. MAIN Port Communication Protocol
The
MAIN
port of the Micron Echosounder can be configured for either RS485 or RS232.
5.3. AUX Port Communication Protocol
The
AUX
port of the Micron Echosounder is for analogue output only.
5.4. Baud Rate
The baud rate can be configured to be one of the following:
• 115.2kbps
• 57.6kbps
• 38.4kbps
• 19.2kbps
