3200-XS SUB-BOTTOM SYSTEM 0004840_REV_E
3.2 Power Requirements
The 3200-XS requires a 120–220 VAC, 50/60 Hz (<1500 watts). The input voltage is auto sensing for the
topside, and the power amplifier makes use of a universal power input.
3.2.1 Use of an Uninterruptable Power Supply
The AC power source should be continuously free of high amplitude and high frequency transients. This
type of interference could cause degraded performance or damage to the equipment. An uninterruptable
power supply (UPS) with power surge protection is recommended for powering the equipment.
However, whether or not a UPS is used, the power source should never be the same as that being used to
power electric motors, such as pumps and winches, on the survey vessel.
3.2.2 Changing to a Non-US Power Plug
An AC power cord is provided for connecting the Deck Unit to a standard U.S. 3-pronged outlet. For non-
U.S. power outlets, you can modify this cord by cutting off the 3-pronged plug and attaching the
appropriate plug. Refer to T
ABLE 3-1 for connection information.

3.3 Navigation Interface
The 3200-XS Sub-Bottom Profiling System accepts all standard National Marine Electronics Association
(NEMA) 0183 message sentence formats from a connected Global Positioning System (GPS) or Integrated
Navigation System.
3.4 Topside Placement
The rack mount processor should be located and set up in a dry, sheltered area that is protected from
weather and water spray. The placement area should also have a temperature that is consistently
between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F). Avoid areas of direct sunlight, especially in tropical environments,
