SECTION 3: SETUP AND ACTIVATION
Setup and test of the EdgeTech 4200 Series High Definition Dual-frequency Side Scan Sonar System
encompasses unpacking, inspecting, and connecting the system components. These connections include
not only the power and tow cables but also any optional equipment such as printers, navigation systems,
and external sonar systems.
This section also explains how to activate and test the system using the EdgeTech Discover software, along
with providing instructions for deployment and recovery of the tow vehicle. For detailed information
about the Discover software, refer to the corresponding manual.
3.1 Unpacking and Inspecting
The tow vehicle is shipped in a wooden crate. 4200 Rack Mount Topside Processors are shipped in a
reusable heavy-duty transport case, while 4200-P Portable Topside Processors and 701-DL Digital Links
are each shipped in heavy-duty shipping cartons. Supplied set-up cables and documentation are shipped
in heavy-duty shipping cartons.
Before unpacking the system components, inspect the shipping containers for any damage. Report any
damage to the carrier and E
DGETECH CUSTOMER SERVICE. If the shipping containers appear free of damage,
carefully unpack the components and inspect them individually for damage. If any damage is found, report
it to the carrier and EdgeTech. Also, check the packing list to verify that all the items on the list are
included. If any items are missing, immediately contact EdgeTech. Do not install or operate any equipment
that appears to be damaged.
