1.3 GENERAL ARRANGEMENT 
 
The unit consists of three main modules: 
 

 

  The End Cap 

 

  The Chassis 

 

  The Housing 

 
The end cap contains the piezo-electric transducer, the slipring assembly and 
the stepper motor. All of these components are within the polyurethane hood 
and  the  cavity  is  oil  filled  to  protect  the  components  from  sea  water  and 
provide  depth  compensation.  The  end  cap  contains  glass  /  metal  seal 
assemblies  which  allow  transfer  of  the  electrical  signals  from  the  end  cap 
components into the dry housing containing the electronic assemblies. 
 
The  chassis  is  a  machined  component,  which  holds  a  total  of  four  printed 
circuit cards for controlling and processing the sonar data. 
 
The printed cards are identified as follows: 
 

  TX / RX Board 

 

  TX / PA Board 

 

  CPU Board 

 

  PSU Board 

 
The TX / RX board contains all the low level signal processing for the sonar 
transmit and receive functions. The board is controlled by the CPU board and 
interfaces to the TX / PA board. 
 
The  TX  /  PA  board  contains  the  power  supply  and  power  output  circuits  for 
driving the transducer transmitting function.
