Interfaces and integration
Wiring procedure, analogue sensor
1
On the ES60 Fish
fi
nding echo sounder, connect the
positive signal from the sensor to pin 3 on the
Auxiliary
connector on the General Purpose Transceiver.
2
Connect the negative signal from the sensor to pin 16 on
the
Auxiliary
connector.
• The negative heave input signal (pin 16) is grounded at
the sensor in order to prevent ground potential offsets
between the sensor and the transceiver from adding to
the sensed signal.
• Maximum cable length is virtually unlimited.
Wiring procedure, digital sensor (RS-232
interface)
1
Locate a free RS-232 serial port that can be used to connect
the heave sensor.
2
On the ES60 computer, connect the receive signal
Rx
on
pin 2, and
ground
on pin 5.
3
On the heave sensor, connect the transmit signal
Tx
on pin
3, and
ground
on pin 5.
4
Ensure that the length of the cable does not exceed
approximately 50 meters. If a longer cable is required, you
may need to use buffer ampli
fi
ers on the serial line.

fi
cation of the RS-232 port you have used
to make the connection.
4
Enter the correct communication parameters, and click
OK
.
5
Ensure that the transmit parameters on the heave sensor
matches the receive parameters on the ES60.
