*Note that cables are colored according to the type of hydrophone: blue for passive, green for
active narrowband and yellow for active wideband.
† Standard active hydrophones have an available bandwidth of 6kHz. So, if: (PRP_number * 100) +
(NBTE_number * 800) < 6000 you have enough place. If: (PRP_number * 100) + (NBTE_number *
800) > 6000 then you need a wideband hydrophone.
‡ Add as NC-1-07 in the system web page.
Connecting the Hydrophone to the Receiver
You need to connect the hydrophone to the receiver to be able to display sensor data received by the
hydrophones.
Procedure
• Connect the extension cable of the junction box to a hydrophone input on the receiver:
• Connect to the NTC hydrophone input H1 or H2 to be able to receive water temperature from
Marport hydrophones.
Note: H3 hydrophone input allows to receive water temperature from an NMEA
connection (Scanmar hydrophone or NMEA converter junction box). If you connect a
Marport hydrophone to H3 without NMEA converter, you will not have temperature
data from the hydrophone.
