Installation RequirementsApprovalsSea-Chest installations must be approved on a case-by-case basis with regard to the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority. The ship owner and shipyard performing the installation are responsible for obtaining installation approval.

Power supplyWe strongly recommend the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The UPS should have the ability to maintain power for 10 minutes. This allows shut off and retraction of the equipment in the case of a power failure. The Power supply must maintain power for a minimum 10 minutes.

Noise SourcesThere are two possible sources of Sonar noise. Turbulence caused by deformities or roughness in the hull plating, keel, anodes, other sonar sea-chests or rutter. These areas must be inspected during dry dock and repaired as best as possible. Note these areas in the manuals Notes section. The second cause of sonar noise is vibration, cracked, pitted or unbalanced propeller(s). The propeller must be thoroughly inspected and repairs made if necessary.

Dry DockEnsure proper clearance under sea-chest for sonar installation. Avoid placing supporting blocks in the area of the sea-chest. Note position of the sea-chest in the manuals Notes section.

WiringAll cables must be supported or protected along its entire length. Conduit or cable trays should be used. Cables must not be installed so as not to run in the areas of high-power supplies, antenna cables or other sources of interference.

VibrationVibration on any of the equipments must be monitored. Excessive vibration must have dampeners installed.

Temperature and HumidityAll equipments, unless otherwise specified, must be protected from extremes in temperature and humidity.

Sea-Chest Installation & InspectionThe MAQ was designed to fit into existing competitors sea-chest with little or no modifications.

he MAQ Sonar electronics is capable of driving three different frequency transducers. This is a generalized manual for all three types of transducers.

ApprovalsSea-Chest installations must be approved on a case-by-case basis with regard to the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority. The ship owner and shipyard performing the installation are responsible for obtaining installation approval.

Sea-Chest LocationThe Sea-Chest must be located approximately 1/3 of the vessels length from the bow. It must be located on the center line of the vessel or right next to the keel of the vessel. The Sea-Chest must be faired if the Sea-chest is off the side of the keel. Ensure the face of the transducer is unobstructed for transmission and reception. The Sea-Chest must be mounted Vertical to the Normal Trim Water Line or perpendicular to the water line during normal operation. Do not install Sea chest in an area where inlet or outlet pipes may cause turbulence or exhaust air or fluids that may effect the operation of the sonar.

Grounding and ZincMAQ Sonar’s Transducer Pipe, Transceiver and Interface Unit must be connected to the ships hull. Zinc Anodes must be installed on transducer pipes and inspected and replaced yearly if required. Poor grounding may cause excessive zinc erosion and possibly sonar noise.

Chapter

21

Computer PreparationsMating electrical contacts such as card edge connectors must have a thin coat of electrical insulating Compound (silicone grease not glue) applied to prevent fretting corrosion.

1) Remove power from your computer system and detach the tower side panel.2) Install the Digital I/O card (PCI-7300 included) in a free PCI slot of your computer.3) Reformat your present hard disk using the FDISK UTILITY & EMERGENCY DISK & MAQ Sonar Software Disk Procedures.

NOTE: When you power down the sonar and power back up, you will need to manually power up your computer system (Using Power Switch at back of tower).

FDISK UTILITYThis disk will erase any existing partitions on the computer. NOTE: Any information on this hard disk will be completely erased so ensure that this computer is dedicated to the MAQ system.A) Place the supplied FDISK UTILITY floppy in the drive and power up your computer system.B) At the opening screen select option #3. Select #1 in the next screen to delete the PRIMARY DOS PARTITION. Follow the instructions to delete the partition. When asked press a key to restart the system.C) In the opening screen select option #1 and follow the instructions to create a PRIMARY DOS PARTITION.

EMERGENCY DISKUse this disk to format your system hard disk for use with the MAQ SONAR system. Simply place the supplied EMERGENCY DISK floppy in the drive and power up your system. The drive will be automatically formatted for system use. Now you will have to install the latest version of the MAQ Sonar Software. Simply place the supplied SONAR SOFTWARE LOADING DISK in the floppy drive and power up your system. The software will automatically install. Now turn off the computer, remove the floppy disk, and good fishing.

NOTE: Do not leave any disks in the floppy drive while the system is under normal operation.

4) Connect your keyboard and monitor and power the system. On power-up, often pressing the DEL key will cause the system to enter the BIOS settings. If this were not the case with your system perhaps a quick call to the dealer where you purchased the system would be required to determine the step(s) necessary. Enter the BIOS settings.

COMPUTER BIOS CHANGES

22

The following changes will need to be made to your computer BIOS to ensure proper operation of the MAQ Sonar system. While each computer set-up differs slightly, this is a generalize descriptions. Should you have any difficulties or question feel free to contact us and we will do our best to assist you.

MAIN or BASIC settingsYou may or may not need to detect the PRIMARY MASTER. If your system is set to AUTO-detect the hard disk (quite likely) you are fine with this setting.Set the system to HALT on ALL ERRORS BUT KEYBOARD.

INTEGRATED PERIPHERALSIn the I/O SETTINGS or INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS panel, set the PRINTER port to either NORMAL or SPP (Standard Printer Port).

BOOT-UPSet the system to boot first from the FLOPPY drive and second to the hard disk.

5) The computer must start up and showA) The “Data Acquisition Controller” in the computer start-up BIOS page.B) It then must display “Starting MS-Dos”.C) The MAQ LOGO initialization page D) The Sonar Display page with “No Data Received” must be flashing on the screen.

If this is not the case consult the factory.6) Standard PC’s will need the ATX Power Interface installed (See Personal Computer ATX Power Interface Procedure)

The Computer is now ready to driver the MAQ Sonar equipment.

23

Computer on - Computers equipped with ATX style power supplies require a momentary contact switch to turn the computer on and off. Through these terminals the sonar is able to control the power status of the computer. See installation instructions below.

Personal Computer ATX Power InterfaceWe have provided an installation kit to allow the MAQ Sonar system to control the power on/power off sequence of desktop and tower PCs, which are equipped with an ATX style power supply. Please note that many industrial microprocessor systems do not use this type of supply and therefore may not require this modification.You may refer to your computer system main board manual to determine your needs.

Note: This diagram reflects a typical installation and not a reference for all systems.

Wiring the Interface to the SystemAttach the lugs of the supplied cable to the COMPUTER ON screw mounts inside the Processor Interface box. Connect the 1/8” three conductor phone plug to the panel mounted on the rear of your computer.

24

Enclosure Mounting DimensionsBefore mounting any of the electronics ensure the monitor, joystick, and Hoist control can be located within easy reach of the Captains chair. Ensure Power sources are available and ideally on separate breakers. Pay close attention to the cable lengths and purchase extension cables for monitors, joysticks or power cords if needed (MAQ uses standard Cables which can be purchased at many local electronics or computer stores). Ensure Computer Interface is located near UPS (Not Supplied).Mount the Computer (Not Supplied), Monitor (Not Supplied), Computer Interface Unit, Joystick, Hoist Control and Transceiver. Reference Diagram 7.1.

Sonar Start-up ProceduresStart-up ProcedureThe MAQ operates on 115vac 60hz or 230vac 50hz/60hz.DO NOT APPLY POWER UNTIL VOLTAGE SWITCHES ARE SET PROPERLY.The computer interface unit will accept either 115vac 60hz or 230vac 50hz/60hz (AUTO-SENSING SWITCHING SUPPLY).The Voltage switch in the transceiver unit must be set to the appropriate input voltage or damage may occur.The Computer must also be selected with the appropriate voltage capabilities.

The computer must meet the minimum specifications and be prepared using the COMPUTER PREPARATIONS FOR COMPUTER INTERFACE UNIT found in this manual (Chapter 8).

Connect the cables using the COMPUTER INTERFACE INSTALLATION WIRING DIAGRAMfound in this manual. (Diagram 7.1)

The Transducer MUST be submerged in water before switching on the HIGH VOLTAGE switch in the transceiver.

Power on sonar by pressing the red button on the top of the joystick and the red button on the back of the joystick simultaneously.

Check that all external fans are working properly.(Reference Diagram 1.1)

Chapter

31

LED CHECKS (Reference Diagram 1.1)A) +12 Volt FAN light on 1872 board inside the COMPUTER INTERFACE UNIT must be

on.B) TRANS light (LED1) on 1872 board inside the COMPUTER INTERFACE UNIT must be

flashing. If not go to the AFL Panel select CP communication port and switch the selection. If the TRANS light is still not flashing re-check wiring between computer interface unit and Computer and repeat procedure.

C) In TRANSCEIVER1) All lights on lid of case must be ON.2) Inside case Amber light (LED2) on 1849 board must be flashing. If not check

interface cable.3) Red light (LED3) on 1845 Control Board must be flashing. If not check EPROM

on 1845 Control Board. If still not flashing Change 1845 Control Board or 1849 Interface Board.

4) 32 Red lights (LEDS4) on 1890 Transmitter boards must all be flashing. If not check HIGH VOLTAGE switch on 1897 Transceiver Mother Board.

D) In COMPUTER INTERFACE UNIT on 1872 board 10 Amber lights (LEDS5) must all be flashing at same rate as TRANS light (LED1). If not check Interface Cable.

E) If “No Data Received” is still flashing check the connection of the 100pin SCSI cable from the computer to the COMPUTER INTERFACE UNIT. If not change PCI-7300 I/O board. I/O board must be detected on the BIOS star-up page of the computer.

32

Frequency setting: (IN PORT)A) Set the sonar to "OMNI (OD) mode" under "MODE CONTROL (MC)" (ref. Operators

manual);B) Adjust the Range (RG), Gain (GN), Near Gain (NG) and Far Gain (FG) controls for a

stable target on the display at a longest distance From the boat;C) On the "system (SYS) panel" (ref. operators manual), select the "Frequency (FQ)" control;D) Vary the frequency control until the picture on the screen is at maximum display strength.

(It may be necessary to repeat STEP B)

Display Alignment (DA) on System Panel (SYS)The Display is not aligned when the front mark of the transducer faces the bow of the Boat.There are two ways to adjust the Display Alignment. It should be adjusted in port to align the dock or wharf with the boat. Adjusting the dock to the display will give a relatively good alignment. To get a better alignment adjust the Display Alignment (DA) by using the propeller noise of the boat as a reference to adjust the display alignment.

GPS ConnectionFor best performance the GPS input must be connected to the boats GPS. Check AMBER light GPS IN found inside COMPUTER INTERFACE UNIT on the 1872 board is flashing. (See NMEA AND G.P.S. WIRING HOOKUP)

33

Diagram 10.1

The RS-232 in allows other equipment to send data strings to the MAQ Sonar.

The RS-232 out allows the MAQ Sonar to send data strings to other equipment.

The G.P.S. input requires a NMEA 0183 data sentence from a G.P.S., which contains RMC.This is the preferred sentence to provide latitude and longitude readout on the display. If RMC is not available VTG & TDS will provide wake trail but not latitude and longitude display.

34

Diagram 10.2

The Sync. Output Active is used to synchronize or key other equipments. A pulse is generated at the beginning of each transmit cycle as shown above. On the Set-up Panel “STP” of the MAQ Sonar display the setting “TX” transmit must be set to “ON”. “ON” is the standard operating position. (Transformer Isolated)

The Sync. Output Passive works the same as the Sync. Output Active but uses an active TTL grounding pulse to trigger or key external equipments. (Optically Isolated)

The Sync. Input is used to synchronize or key the MAQ from other equipments. (Optically isolated)

35

INCLINOMETER ALIGNMENT

INSTALLATION- Inclinometer must be aligned for transmitter beam stabilization in the direction of the cursor. Stabilization is only available in track and search modes.- The inclinometer can be found inside the computer interface unit.- A sticker on the side of the inclinometer indicates the side, which must face the stern.- Loosen the thumbscrew on the inclinometer-mounting arm.- Position the inclinometer with the stern side facing the proper direction and level the bubble indicator on the top of the inclinometer. (As shown)- Tighten the thumbscrew firmly to fix the position of the inclinometer.

ELECTRONIC CALIBRATION- On the “STP” set-up panel of the sonar there is a selection for the type of inclinometer being used. Read the letter indicated on the top of the inclinometer and set the “INC” inclinometer type to the appropriate letter.- In order to further set-up the inclinometer on the “OPR” Panel under the “MC” mode control selection you must set the sonar to either “TR” track mode or “SR” search mode to adjust the inclinometer. - In order to further adjust the inclinometer there is a software adjustment.- On the “SYS” system panel 2 readouts will appear port & bow. (Shown in blue rectangle) these 2 readouts will indicate how close to level the inclinometer has been installed. “BW” bow adjust & “PT” port adjust must be adjusted to zero the port and bow readouts.

TEST- After adjusting the level and direction of the inclinometer the

stabilizer can be tested by tilting down to an angle that displays a bottom ring in “OD” omni directional mode. As the vessel rolls this ring should move in and out. Set the “MC” mode control to “TR” track mode. Position the sector directly off the port or starboard side of the vessel. The bottom ring should no longer move in and out or the movement should be reduced significantly.
