2 Quick Start Guide
2.1 Transducer Handling & Installation
See section 3.2 on page 26 for details on transducer handling and installation.
!
 Make sure the transducer fits to the topside model used (letter in s/n, see page 26).
 Check transducer visually (face, cable, connector)  do not use damaged equipment,
there are high voltages used inside, which may be lethal!

The transducer must not be operated in air
.
Guidelines:
 Protect the transducer face (mechanical impact, chemicals, direct sunlight).
 Protect the cable (mechanical impact), avoid vibrations and strong bending  preferably
route within pole.
 Protect the connector, it is NOT water-proof.
 For long-term deployments use zinc anodes and anti-fouling.
 The transducer face has to be horizontal, the arrow pointing forward (to bow).
(there are no arrows on the “smart” and “quattro”/“sixpack” transducers)
 Avoid vibrations; use rubber washers as provided and support the mounting pole.
 Place transducer as far as possible from noise sources  near vessel’s bow.
 Avoid air bubbles washed beneath the transducer.
 Use extra ground wire from transducer to topside unit to reduce electrical noise.
 During operation the transducer has to be covered by water at all times.
 Connect / Disconnect to topside unit only if power is switched off.
 After demobbing clean with fresh water and dry before storage.
2.2 Topside Handling & Installation
INNOMAR SBP general components (actuals depending on SBP model)
See section 3.3 on page 32 for details on topside unit handling and installation.
!
 Check topside visually (connectors, cables, housing)  do not use damaged
equipment, there are high voltages used inside, which may be lethal!
 Handle topside with care, keep clean, dry and secured; protect against water.
 Ensure proper airflow to avoid hot spots.

Secure all components and connections.
 GNSS position input (NAV-IN; Ethernet or
serial port; update rate preferably 10Hz)
 Power (for most models mains
100–240 V, 50–60 Hz AC)
 Motion sensor input (Ethernet or serial
COM port; update rate preferably 50Hz)
 Trigger / external synchronisation to
reduce acoustic interference
