4.0 SETUP AND ACTIVATION
EdgeTech designed the 2050-DSS Side Scan and Sub-Bottom System to be easily set up and activated for
operation. Instructions for this process are provided in the subsections to follow.
4.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Before unpacking the system components, inspect the shipping containers for any damage. Report any
damage to the carrier and to EdgeTech.
If the shipping containers appear free of damage, carefully unpack the components and inspect them for
damage as well. Also, check the packing list, verifying that all the items on the list are included. Again, if
any damage is found, report it to the carrier and to EdgeTech. If any items are missing, immediately
contact E
DGETECH CUSTOMER SERVICE. Do not install or operate any equipment that appears to be damaged.
Although the items shipped will vary depending on customer requirements and optional products
ordered, the 2050-DSS Side Scan and Sub-Bottom System typically includes the items listed below.
• 2050-DSS Tow Vehicle
• Starmux IV Digital Link and Edgetech 2U Computer Rack Mounted Topside
• AC Power Cord
• Ethernet Patch Cable
• Towfish Accessories Kit
• Memory Stick(s) with Manuals, Discover 2050, and Recovery Software
After unpacking the system components, store the shipping containers, including any packing materials,
in a safe place for later use. When transporting or storing the system, pack all items in their original
shipping containers the same way they were originally shipped. Store the system in a dry environment
when not in use.
4.2 Power Requirements
The power requirements for the 2050 topside processors are 100–264 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and is auto-
switching.
4.2.1 Use of an Uninterrupted Power Supply
The AC power source should be continuously free of high amplitude, high-frequency transients, as this
type of interference could degrade performance or damage the equipment. An uninterrupted power
supply (UPS) with power surge protection is recommended for powering the equipment. However,
whether a UPS is used, do not use the same AC power source as one being used to power electric motors
