Geometrics Inc. G-882 Cesium Marine Magnetometer Page 4
Figure 3 Tow Cable Assembly, 200 foot (60m)
Set the magnetometer on a clean dry surface and unroll a 15 ft (5m) section of
the tow cable and bring it to the nose of the fish.
2.1 Nose Tow Configuration
The G−882 may be towed in either nose tow or CG (center of gravity) tow
configurations. Nose tow is used in shallow water deployment (or attachment to
a Side Scan Sonar). CG configuration is more commonly used when going
deeper in the water column. We will discuss depth estimates later in section
4.6.3
In order to attach the tow cable to the front of the magnetometer the nose plug
must be removed from the front of the nose piece. Begin by removing the top
cover split-rings and linchpins and remove the top cover (Figure 4A to 4C below).
