3.6 Connecting the Topside System Components
The following cables are required to connect the TPU and the SonarPro
Workstation:
• Ethernet cable
• AC power cords (2)
• Deck cable or tow cable (deck cable is optionally supplied)
To connect the TPU and the SonarPro Workstation:
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the TPU and to either
one of the two the ETHERNET connectors on the SonarPro Workstation.
2. Connect the monitor to the DVI connector on the SonarPro Workstation and
connect the monitor power supply to the AC power source.
3. Connect the keyboard and the mouse to any two of the six USB connectors on
the SonarPro Workstation.
4. Connect a GPS to the NAV connector on the TPU. A user supplied RS-232
serial cable is required where one end is terminated with a DB9 female
connector and the other end is as required by the navigation system.
5. Verify that the GPS is outputting NMEA-0183 formatted data strings at
4800 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. In addition, the GPS should be
outputting the following messages:
• GLL or GGA
•VTG
• RMC (optional)
WARNING Before connecting the topside system components, verify that
the TPU is turned off and that its power cord is disconnected. Failure to
follow this practice may result in personal injury or damage to the towfish
or to the TPU electronics, or to both. For the location of the power switches, refer to
“Topside System Controls and Indicators” on page 3-17.
NOTE If 4800 baud is not available from the GPS, contact KMS customer
service for instructions on how to reconfigure the system to accept a
different baud rate. Refer to “Customer Service” on page xvi for
information on how to contact KMS customer service.
