Options and Upgrades
4.11 Option 039F, Yearly Inspection and Servicing
The SeaBat 8101 MBES system is a ruggedized solid-state system that, unless
abused, should not require re-calibration or general servicing during its lifetime.
However, for those customers who undertake the collection of bathymetry data
intended for publication of nautical charts, there is the need for factory verification
of performance and a yearly servicing. Option 039 is provided for this require-
ment. The following tasks are performed as part of this option:
•
Visual inspection of all system components
•
Installation of new anodes
•
Open both the head and processor and:
Remove, test, and retune receiver boards
Remove and test power supplies
Remove, test, and retune transmitter
•
Bench test complete system
•
Tank/water test system and verify source level
•
Burn-in system for a minimum of 24 hours
If any parts are found to require replacement, an estimate of cost to repair will be
provided to the customer prior to actual replacement.
4.12 Option 040, Upgrade to Extended Range (ER) Projector
The standard SeaBat 8101 system, when used for bathymetric operations, has
been designed to track the seafloor to a maximum depth of 320 meters. When
equipped with an Extended Range (ER) projector, the maximum depth increases
to 450 meters.
4.12.1 Upgrade
Procedure
New SeaBat 8101 systems can be ordered from the factory with Option 040 in-
stalled. Existing systems must be returned to RESON for the projector installa-
tion, sonar head power supply upgrade, and source level tests.
