Receiving Hydrophone Data on Two Systems
If you have two different systems, you can receive on both systems data coming from a hydrophone
connected to one of the systems.
About this task
The following procedure explains how to receive data on a Marport Mx system from an active
hydrophone connected to another system.
Procedure
1.
To receive data from a Scanmar system or another Marport system, connect a shielded multi-
conductor cable as described below:
1. Primary system: data
received on Scanmar or
other Marport system
2. Secondary system: data
received on Marport Mx
system.
3. Scanmar / Marport
receiver
4. Marport Mx receiver
5. Junction boxes
6. Use ceramic capacitors to
block power supply
7. Power from the junction
box to the hydrophone
8. Active hydrophone
Important: Use ceramic capacitors of 10 μF/ 25V. They are necessary to block power
supply.
Note: The primary system must be switched on in order for the secondary system to
work.
2.
To receive data from a Simrad PI system, connect a shielded multi-conductor cable as
described below:
