3.4.3 Connecting the Tow Cable to the Starmux IV
WARNING!
Do not connect the tow cable to the topside processor
before connecting it to the towfish. Injury or death can occur if the
exposed connector on the tow cable is energized. Always connect the tow
cable to the towfish first.
The tow cable connector is connected to the Sea Cable Connector on the rear panel of the Starmux IV.

3.4.4 Connecting a FSK Trigger
The Starmux IV comes standard with a FSK (Frequency Shift Keyed) Trigger BNC connection on the rear
panel, which is typically connected to a USBL (Ultra-Short Baseline Beacon) navigation and positioning
system like the E
DGETECH
BATS
SYSTEM
. This trigger can synchronize a tracking beacon to aid in providing a
precise position of the towfish. This trigger does not directly control the sonar subsystems in any way. The
triggering pulse width must be set to a minimum of 10ms for proper transmission and detection. The
trigger rate has been tested to a upper limit of 50Hz. Please check the S
