temperature monitor that will display a software warning message and automatically power
down the Sonar Head before it overheats.
Caution
The Sonar Head must not be exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
Prolonged exposure to ultra-violet rays and excessive heat may damage the surface of
the polyurethane transducer face. Store the Sonar Head in a cool, dry location away from
ozone sources (such as electric motors or welders).
Minimum computer requirements
Although a computer can be ordered from Kongsberg Mesotech as a part of the M3 Sonar
FLS system delivery, it is also possible to purchase one locally.
If you purchase a computer locally, make sure that the chosen model meets the functional
and technical requirements.
It is important that the chosen computer model is relatively new with sufficient processing
power, a high performance graphics adapter, and a high speed Ethernet adapter.
We recommend a computer with a CPU that has a PassMark Software benchmark score
of 8000 or more (
).
PassMark Software is a Windows computer performance benchmarking utility. Computers
with a CPU score of 8000 or higher have been tested with the M3 Sonar FLS. Lower-scoring
computers may not perform well, resulting in a slow GUI response, slower ping rates, or
dropped pings.
When running two M3 Sonar FLS Sonars, an average CPU Mark of 10,000 is recommended.
The computer must be able to facilitate the various interface requirements made by the M3
Sonar FLS system, and you may need to add extra Ethernet and/or serial adapters.
Note
The computer design and construction must allow for maritime use. Easy access to
connectors, parts and cables must be provided. Make sure that the installation method
allows for the physical vibration, movements and forces normally experienced on a vessel.
The minimum technical requirements are:
•
Microprocessor
: 2.80 GHz, Intel quad core i7
•
Memory
: minimum 8 GB
•
Hard disk
: minimum 500 GB
