Installation Manual

www.wassp.com

Purpose of this Manual This installation manual describes the procedures to install the following WMB-

160/80F equipment:

►A WMB-160/80F-CT transceiver.

►An WASSP Ltd. supplied Shuttle XPC personal computer.

►The WMB-160/80F software program onto a computer hard disk drive.

It also provides procedures to commission the WMB-160/80F system during

dockside and sea trials.

Introduction The WMB-160/80F is a multi-beam Sonar system that uses a wide-angle sonar

transducer to prole the water column and sea-oor to a high resolution. It is

this unique combination of multi-beam sonar and computer processing power

which provides you with unparalleled information about the shing environment.

It gives you a wide 120° port-starboard swath of the water column and sea-

oor, allowing you to nd and position reefs and wrecks, sh schools, sea-oor

hardness changes, and foreign objects in the water column or on the sea-oor.

From the 120° swath, the system processes 112 dynamic beams, with each beam

containing detections from the water column and sea-oor.

The WMB-160/80F can be applied to a variety of shing methods, as well as

search and rescue, customs, and police applications.

The information is presented in a user-friendly, mouse controlled, Windows-based

operating system. The system can output data to plotting software packages.

For optimal performance, roll, heave, pitch, heading and position inputs are all

required. These can be provided through an WASSP Ltd. recommended SC-30

satellite compass.

The efciency of heave compensation depends on the quality of the input data.

The WMB-160/80F does not correct the effects of heave, but minimises them. This

is why accurate ship measurements must be taken and the dockside and sea trial

commissioning procedures carried out thoroughly.

Main Features

►Improved performance.

The use of separate transmit and receive arrays has enabled WASSP Ltd. to

optimise both transmit performance and receive sensitivity, giving improved

performance over traditional sonar and sounders.

►High detail picture of the marine environment.

The transmit beam spreads over a 120° port-starboard swath and covers 4° fore-

aft while the receive beam covers 10° fore-aft, displaying a highly detailed picture

of the marine environment.

►Beam stabilisation.

Beam stabilisation compensates for the movement of the vessel, providing

accurate sea-oor proles and sh school locations.

►Variable beam width.

Unique to the WMB-160/80F, the single beam view can not only be stabilised,

but the beam width can be varied from 5° to 40°.

►Triple beam view.

With variable width and angle, the port, centre, and starboard views display

together to help build your understanding of the sea environment.

►Bottom lock.

Bottom lock provides a traditional bottom lock mode where the changes in

bottom depth are ignored and the bottom is drawn at. Fish and other echoes

are shown relative to the at bottom image, enabling better discrimination

between bottom sh and the sea-oor.

►Computerbasedprolestorage.

A computer-based system means the WMB-160/80F can generate and store

very detailed sea-oor proles.

►Digital signal processing (DSP).

Using DSP technology, the WMB-160/80F can provide an indication of changes

in sea-oor hardness, ideal for scalloping, crayshing, and trawling where you

want to understand and locate small changes on the sea-oor.

►160 kHz operating frequency.

Operating at a frequency of 160 kHz provides high sea-oor denition.

►2-D and 3-D zoom.

2-D zooming from 250 m out to 3 km. 3-D zooming from 10 m out to 1 km.

►Depthandsea-oorcoverage.

Sea-oor coverage is determined by the beam width in use: For a 90 degree

beam width, the sea-oor coverage will be approximately twice the water depth.

For example, 100 m depth gives 200 m sea-oor coverage with 112 beams -

every ping. For a 120 degree beam width, the sea-oor coverage is 3.4 x depth.

For example 200m depth gives approximately 680m sea-oor coverage.

►Unique power management system (14 power levels).

14 power levels provide optimal performance over a wide range of sea-oor

types and water depths.

►More accurate 3-D.

Proles 90 times faster than conventional single beam echo sounders, leading

to reduced costs and improved accuracy.

►Future proof technology.

The computer based operating system and transceiver rmware are both

upgradeable as new features and methods in software are developed.

Equipment Lists Transducer Type

The WMB-160/80F system uses a compact transducer intended to be mounted

inside the hull through a suitable opening to allow the bottom face of the

transducer to be in contact with the sea water.

Type WMB-160/80F-CT

The compact transducer is a rectangular-shaped, low-prole transducer for

through-hull mounting, encased in a sealed sea chest made to suit the vessel’s

hull dead rise angle. The compact transducer is best suited to steel and aluminium

hulls.

A sea chest for housing and sealing the transducer should be designed and

constructed by a reputable shipyard to suit the size and contours of the hull of

each individual vessel. This must be sized and constructed accurately.

The sea chest provides a stable platform for the transducer and must be mounted

as horizontal to the vessel as possible. An optional gland supplied by WASSP Ltd.

in alloy, plastic, or steel, provides the transducer cable through-hull seal.

The Compact Transducer is supplied standard with a 10m cable. Different cable

lengths are available. Please ask your WASSP representative for details.

Mounting Mounting Considerations

Mounting the Transducer – General Considerations

The transducer is mounted on the hull below the water line, normally using a

permanent sea chest. The transducer must be mounted so that it is aligned with the

fore-aft axis of the vessel. It must also be mounted so that the at underside of the

transducer is as close to horizontal as possible.

If the vessel has a keel, the transducer can be mounted somewhere along the

length of it. If it is mounted on the hull, it should be far enough away from the keel

so that the keel will not be detected within the 120° beam angle. Figure 3 shows a

sea chest type through-hull mounting designed specically for a fast moving, alloy

hull craysh boat.

The performance of the system is directly related to the mounting location of the

transducer, especially for high-speed cruising. The installation should be planned in

advance, keeping in mind the xed cable length of 10 meters and the following factors:

►Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the vessel seriously

degrade the sounding capability of the transducer. The transducer should be

located in a position with the most smooth water ow.

►The transducer should not be mounted close to propellers because noise from

propellers can adversely affect the performance of the transducer.

►Mount the transducer inboard of lifting strakes as these create acoustic noise.

►The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the boat is rolling,

pitching or planing at high speed.

►A practical choice would be somewhere between a ⅓ and a ½ of the boat’s

length from the stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally towards

the rear of the vessel, to ensure that the transducer is always submerged,

regardless of the planing angle.

►Do not mount another transducer near the WASSP transducer as it will interfere

with the 120° beam.

Mounting Considerations for the Personal Computer

The WASSP Ltd. supplied Shuttle XPC computer must be mounted on a at, stable

surface. The computer can be mounted horizontally using the supplied stand. Keep

the following in mind when selecting a mounting location for the computer:

►Secure the computer so that it cannot come loose in rough seas.

►Keep the computer out of direct sunlight.

►The temperature and humidity of the location where the computer is mounted

should be moderate and stable.

►Locate the computer away from exhaust pipes and vents.

►The mounting location should be well ventilated.

►Mount the computer where shock and vibration are minimal.

►Keep the computer away from electromagnetic eld-generating equipment,

such as motors or generators.

►For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufcient space at the sides

and rear of the computer installation location.

►A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the computer. Do

not locate the computer closer than the following compass safe distances to

prevent interference with the magnetic compass:

• Standard compass: 0.8 meters.

• Steering compass: 0.6 meters.

be used as a template for installing the mounting bracket and PSU. The PSU has

been set to receive 230 V AC input before being attached to the mounting bracket.

Due to changes in power supply manufacturer, the power supply may differ from

the illustration. However the mounting bracket dimensions and mounting centres

remain the same.

Inverter Outline and Dimensions

Figure 10 shows the physical dimensions of the optional WASSP Ltd. supplied

inverter. If installing the inverter, carefully read the supplied manufacturer’s user

manual and install and operate the inverter accordingly ensuring the environment

is:

1) DRY – Do not allow water to drop on or enter the inverter.

2) COOL – The ambient air temperature should be between 0°C and 33°C

- the cooler the better.

3) SAFE – Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas

where ammable fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine

compartments.

4) VENTILATED – The inverter must be well ventilated at all times. Ensure

there is at least 25 mm of space around the inverter. Ensure the ventilation

fan and air holes are not obstructed at both ends of the inverter.

5) DUST FREE – Do not install the inverter in a dusty environment as the

dust can be drawn into the unit when the fan is operating.

6) CLOSE TO BATTERIES – Do not install the inverter in the same compart-

ment as batteries. Do not mount the inverter where it will be exposed to

the gasses produced by the battery, as these are corrosive and prolonged

exposure will damage the inverter. Avoid excessive cable lengths. Use the

recommended wire lengths and sizes (detailed in Section 3-6 of the user

manual).

Mount the Transducer Cable Gland

See Figures 11 and 12.

In the external sea chest and fairing type installations, the cable gland forms a

seal where the transducer cable passes through the hull. In low prole sea chest

installations, the gland passes through the sea chest cover.

The gland pipe and a single gasket are the only parts of the gland that are located

inside the sea chest or outside the hull, all other parts are attached to the gland pipe

inside the vessel.

Mounting Instructions

Depending on the type of installation, there are various ways of mounting the cable

gland to the hull. The following example describes how to mount the gland through

the hull and then feed the cable through the gland. Adapt the following procedure

to suit your installation while taking the following into consideration:

►Always use a good quality marine sealant to seal across areas that can leak.

►When installing the gland packing ring, apply soapy water to the inside of the

packing ring and pass it over the transducer cable until it is sitting on top of the

gland pipe. The soapy water allows the packing ring to slide easily down the

cable. When sitting on top of the gland pipe, clean as much of the soapy water

off as possible to ensure the packing ring grips the cable when pressure is

applied by the gland nut.

►Tighten the gland nut by hand until secure. With the vessel in the water, check

for leaks at the gland and if leaking slightly, tighten the gland nut with a spanner

until the leak stops.

►When all leaks are stopped, tighten the gland lock nut against the gland nut.

STEP 1 Place the bottom gasket over the gland pipe and apply marine sealant to

both sides of the gasket. See Figure 11.

Push the gland pipe into the hole.

STEP 2 Place the top gasket over the gland pipe and apply marine sealant to

both sides of the gasket.

Place the plate over the gland pipe and onto the top gasket.

Screw the lock plate onto the gland pipe until a good joint is achieved.

Clean away any excess marine sealant.

STEP 3 Feed the transducer cable through the gland.

See Figure 12 for a set of steps to feed a RJ-45 type cable through the

gland pipe.

STEP 4 Screw the gland lock nut as far as it can go onto the gland pipe.

Place the gland packing ring over the cable until it sits on top of the gland

pipe.

Place the gland nut over the cable and screw the nut onto the gland pipe

rmly by hand.

STEP 5 With the vessel in the water, check for leaks at the gland and if leaking

slightly, tighten the gland nut with a spanner until the leak stops.

With all leaks stopped and while holding the gland nut with a spanner,

tighten the gland lock nut against the gland nut with a spanner.

Note different colour code for transmit

cable conductors: White, Black and

Green. Previous cable had red, black

and green coloured conductors.

RJ-45 Type BTxR and Cable:

The RJ-45 Type BTxR uses a transducer cable

consisting of seven CAT-5 cables and one

screened pair for the transmit connection.

To t the RJ-45 connectors and cable through

the gland, no special preparation is required.

The BTxR Transceiver cable end has the RJ-

45 connectors tted with “staggered” cable

lengths. This allows each RJ-45 connector

and its associated cable to be fed through the

gland tting easily.

Commencing with the black RJ-45 cable and

black transmit cable, feed each cable in turn

through the gland, nishing off with the grey

RJ-45 connector and cable.

Complete tting and tightening the gland as

shown in Figure 11.
