Note

If using the dual Profilers with a 

Tritech International Ltd

 SeaHub

or SCUv5 it is possible to link pin 5 at the surface and use standard

cables instead. Refer to the SeaHub or SCU manual for further

details.

Note

Wire colours shown correspond to standard 

Tritech International

Ltd

 6-pin connector and cable.

3.3.6. Using two Profilers with RS232 or RS485

When using RS232 or RS485 it is still possible to use two Profilers, but each

must have their own communications channel to the topside controller (i.e. a

dedicated COM Port for each unit).

Seanet Pro must then be set to use the Profilers in the 

Free Run

 mode. See

the section called “Setup” for more details.
