on the survey vessel, such as pumps and winches. Also, do not use switching-type battery chargers or DC
to AC converters with square wave outputs.
4.2.2 Change 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, users can modify this cord by cutting off the 3-pronged plug and attaching the
appropriate plug.

4.3 Navigation Interface
The 4205 High Definition Dual-frequency Side Scan Sonar System accepts all standard National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 message sentence formats from a connected global positioning
system (GPS) or integrated navigation system.
4.4 Topside Processor Placement
The 4205 Rack Mount Topside Processor with the Digital Link should be located and set up in a dry,
sheltered area that is protected from weather and water spray. Both units also require an environment
where the temperature is consistently between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F).
In all cases, however, avoid areas of direct sunlight, especially in tropical environments, as heat buildup
could damage the equipment, and glare could hinder the user's ability to see the LCD and status indicators.
The location of the processor should also allow users to communicate directly with the deck crew that is
handling the Towfish.
Secure the topside processor in place, using tie-downs if necessary, near the required AC power source.
When mounting a 4205 Rack Mount Topside Processor or Digital Link in a 19-inch rack, ensure that there
is ample room behind the rack for connecting the cables. Support the components inside the rack using
appropriate mounting brackets and secure the front panels using standard 19-inch rack front panel
mounting hardware.
