Sonar ProcessorThe Sonar Processor is the computer that controls the M3 Sonar PHS. It is a vital part ofthe M3 Sonar PHS Portable Hydrographic System (PHS).

In this publication, the computer is referred to as the SonarProcessor.

The Sonar Processor runs the M3 software that managescommunication with the Sonar Head, performs allbeamforming and image processing and presents the sonarimagery. The Sonar Processor communicates with thesonar through a standard Ethernet cable.

M3 Sonar Interface UnitThe M3 Sonar Interface Unit is a telemetry junction box which also provides power toall the sensors.

The Seapath 130 sensor unit, Motion Reference Unit(MRU), Sound speed sensor, M3 Sonar Head, and SonarProcessor all connect to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit. Theconnection ports are all located on the front panel.

An external power supply connects to the M3 SonarInterface Unit, providing power to all system units.

Seapath 130 sensor unitThe sensor unit runs the navigation software. This software combines the GNSS signal andthe inertial measurements to determine accurate position, heading, attitude and heave signal.This software uses Kongsberg Seatex AS advanced true multi-reference algorithms forreal-time parallel processing of all available correction signals.

The sensor unit includes thefollowing.• Two GNSS receivers

and antennas• Cable that connects to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit• Mounting bracket

M3 Sonar PHS

12 922-00037041/1.1

Sonar HeadThe Sonar Head includes transmit and receive transducers and the electronics to generate thetransmit pulse and digitize the received signal.

Two Sonar Head models are available for use with the M3 SonarPHS: model number 922-20220000 (Ethernet with Sync and 1PPS),and model number 922-20240000 (with an integrated sound speedsensor). In the M3 Sonar PHS, the Sonar Head is attached to thebottom of the Pole Mount. The Sonar Head connects to the M3Sonar Interface Unit through a head cable with 100Mbps Ethernetand 1PPS time synchronization.

Note

The M3 Sonar Head’s black polyurethane transducer is delicate.Always keep the Guard Ring and protective cover over thetransducer during installation and storage.

Motion Reference UnitThe Motion Reference Unit (MRU) is specially designed for high precision motionmeasurements in marine applications.

The MRU is mounted in a lightweight subsea bottle, rated 10 metres. TheMRU cable connects to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit to integrate with Seapath130 GNSS sensor.

The Motion Reference Unit is very sensitive to impacts. Be careful not todrop the MRU. The electronics inside will be damaged and need to be returnedto the manufacturer for repair.

Sound speed sensorIn order to ensure accurate measurements, a dedicated sound speed sensor is positionedclose to the Sonar Head.

The sound speed sensor cable connects to the M3 Sonar InterfaceUnit to output the real-time sound speed to the M3 software. If thesound speed sensor is integrated into the Sonar Head, a dedicated cableconnected to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit is not required.


922-00037041/1.1 13

Pole MountThe M3 Sonar PHS Pole Mount provides precise and easy bolt on/off of flanges for allthe sensors.

Key features:• Adjustable and repeatable with no need to re-calibrate• Quick to set up and easy to use• Safe and audible release of sensor during collision or snag with submerged hazard• Adjustable heading and depth with indexing

The Pole Mount parts include the following.• The GPS Mast for mounting the Seapath 130 sensor unit.• The Compact Mount for attaching to your gunwale.• The Z Pole, MRU flange, and M3 Sonar flange for mounting the Sonar Head, Motion

Reference Unit, and sound speed sensor.• The X Pole for connecting the Z Pole to the Compact Mount.

Verifying the Seapath operator softwaresettingsOffsets are pre-programmed into the Seapath 130 sensor unit at the factory. These offsetsare based on using the centre of the M3 Sonar transducer face as the reference point andon using a standard Pole Mount height. If you have adjusted the height of the Pole Mount(or are using your own Pole Mount for deployment) you will need to change these offsetsin the Seapath operator software.

Context

When you review the offsets in the Seapath operator software, keep the following definitionsin mind.

Navigation Reference Point (NRP): The NRP is the reference point for all measurementsin the system. The recommended NRP is near the Centre of Gravity (CG), but can be chosenfreely. It is always defined related to the Survey origin. In the default M3 Sonar PHSconfiguration, the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the NRP are all set to zero, so that the NRP isset to the same point as the Survey origin.

Survey origin: the origin of the survey data. In the default M3 Sonar PHS configuration,the Survey origin is set to the centre of the M3 Sonar transducer.

Operating the M3 Sonar PHSThe M3 Sonar PHS supports Hypack as a suitable third-party acquisition software forperforming bathymetry surveys.

Prerequisites• The M3 Sonar PHS units have all been installed according to the instructions provided in

the M3 Sonar PHS Installation Manual.The Seapath 130 sensor unit must be mounted horizontally on the Pole Mount with theprimary antenna (position reference point) pointing towards the stern.The Motion Reference Unit (MRU) must be mounted with the Y arrow indication on topof the MRU housing pointing towards the bow.The M3 Sonar Head must be mounted with the connector pointing towards the bow.

• Make sure that the required software packages have been installed on your SonarProcessor, including the Seapath Operator Software, M3 software, and third-partyacquisition software.

• Make sure that the Pole Mount is oriented in a vertical position.

Caution

Do not turn on the system if the Z-pole is oriented horizontally with the main system unitsout of the water.

Context• The recommended survey vessel speed is <= five knots (2.5 m/s).• When running survey lines, the suggested line spacing is <= 3 x water depth.• Perform a sound velocity profile (SVP) cast as often as possible or if the error is greater

than 2.5 m/s when compared with the real-time sound speed measured at the transducer.

Note

It will take up to 30 minutes for the Seapath 130 sensor unit to achieve full accuracy afterpower up. As there is normally no reason to power down the Seapath 130 sensor unit, itcan be left running continuously. You do not have to use the Seapath operator softwareto start data export.

Seapath 130 and MRU maintenanceSeatex units are not designed for service in the field. All repairs and modifications of theseunits must be carried out by qualified personnel. Units in need of repair or service mustbe shipped back to Kongsberg Seatex AS (or other agreed service point) in the originaltransportation box.

Caution

Opening the housing will result in damage or degradation of the unit and void the warranty.

The Motion Reference Unit (MRU) may need to be periodically recalibrated, dependingon the MRU model and the application in which it is used. In general the following isrecommended.• MRU H

A recalibration is recommended every fourth year.• MRU 3

A recalibration is recommended every second year.

Troubleshooting

Symptom: Reduced roll or pitch performance.

Probable cause Corrective Action

The MRU ismisaligned, orincorrect offsetsare being used in thesoftware.

Make sure that the Y arrow on top of the MRU housing is properly aligned withthe ship's longitudinal axis. A misalignment of only one degree will reduce theperformance when exposed to heavy motion due to cross-coupled roll and pitchmeasurements. If not already done, make sure that the MRU yaw offset accordingto the ship's longitudinal axis is accurately measured and entered into the Seapathoperator software.

It has been severalyears since the MRUwas last calibrated.

Contact Kongsberg Seatex AS to check whether the MRU needs recalibration.


42 922-00037041/1.1

Symptom: Reduced heading performance.


There is a problemwith the MotionReference Unit(MRU).

Troubleshoot the MRU, as described above.

The antenna baselinehas not been properlycalibrated.

Run the Seapath operator software and make sure that the antenna baseline setupparameters in NAV Engine Configuration→Sensors→GNSS→Geometry areproperly configured. If needed, perform a new calibration of the antenna baseline.

The Seapath 130sensor unit is notreceiving data fromGNSS receiver No.1 or 2.

Run the Seapath operator software and make sure that data appears in the PortMonitor in the Tools menu and by selecting GNSSA1 for GNSS antenna No. 1 andGNSSB1 for antenna No. 2. If you still cannot see any data, perform a receiver resetby selecting System→Restart→GNSS receiver.

Symptom: Reduced position/velocity performance.


No differentialcorrections are inputon the GNSS serialcable of the sensorunit.

Run the Seapath operator software and check that the link for differential correctionsis properly set up in the DgnssLink configuration, part of the Input/Output subfolderin the NavEngine configuration.

The vessel is outof range to a radioreference stationand the differentialcorrections aretherefore missing.

Run the Seapath operator software, then select Tools→DGNSS Monitor to view thelocation of the reference stations connected to the Seapath 130 sensor unit. If thereference station is too far away or is in the shadow of geographical obstructions orother equipment on board, reception may be unreliable or missing.

The antenna or theMRU offset setup isincorrect.

Check the setup of the lever arms from the Navigation Reference Point (NRP)to antenna #1 and to the MRU. Check particularly that the sign for each ofthe vector components are correct by entering the Geometry subfolder underSensor→GNSS→MRU in the NavEngine configuration.

Symptom: No data is being received from the Seapath 130 sensor unit.


The Seapath 130sensor unit ispowered down.

Check the power connection to the unit.

Your PC is on adifferent networkfrom the Seapath 130sensor unit.

Check that the PC with the software is configured to the same subnet as the Seapath130 sensor unit.

Sound speed sensor maintenancePeriodic maintenance, such as recalibrating the sound speed sensor at regular intervals,will prolong the life of the sensor.

Valeport miniSVS

According to the manufacturer, in the majority of cases, performance can be maintained byrecalibrating at two-year intervals.

Troubleshooting

Symptom: The M3 software is not receiving data from the miniSVS sound speed sensor.


The sound speedsensor is not poweredup.

Check the power connection to the unit.

The sound speedsensor is not in thewater.

Deploy the sensor underwater. The sound speed sensor only outputs data if thesensor is in the water.

AML SVT Xchange sound speed sensor

A Sonar Head with an integrated AML sound speed sensor is available from KongsbergMesotech.• Actions to be taken after every use

Clean and rinse the sensor using fresh water. If the sensor is very dirty or oily use warmsoapy water and allow the sensor to soak before cleaning with a rag or soft brush.

• Actions to be taken every year

Send the sound speed sensor to a service centre yearly for diagnostics and recalibration.

M3 Sonar maintenanceThe M3 Sonar offered in the M3 Sonar PHS standard package (with aluminium housing) isnot suitable for long-term deployment. Consult the factory for alternative housing materialsif you require long-term deployment.

Caution

The M3 Sonar Head’s black polyurethane transducer is delicate. Always keep the GuardRing and protective cover over the transducer during installation and storage.


922-00037041/1.1 45

•• All units and parts must be rinsed with fresh water and dried off before packing away.• All cables must be disconnected and protective dust caps placed on all connectors.

Troubleshooting

Symptom: The M3 Sonar is not being detected in the M3 software.


The unit is notpowered up.

Make sure that the M3 Sonar Interface Unit is powered up.

Your PC is on adifferent networkfrom the M3 Sonar.

Check that the PC with the software is configured to the same subnet as the M3 Sonar.

There is no physicalconnection to theSonar Head.

Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects to the PC running the M3 software.

Symptom: The M3 Sonar has a slow ping rate.


The communicationlink is of poorquality, or cable(s)are improperlyterminated.

Check the Ethernet link between your computer and the Sonar Head. Test thecables with a suitable Ethernet tester, such as the Fluke CableIQTM Ethernet CableQualification Tester (CIQ-100).

There is a marginaltelemetry link (orinterference with thelink). A problematictelemetry link cancause packet lossor reduced Ethernetbandwidth. Thismarginal telemetrylink causes the M3software to lowerthe ping rate becauseit has measured theavailable networkbandwidth andreduced the pingrate accordingly.

Connect a 50-foot test cable between the Sonar Head and Sonar Processor to rule outa problem with your cables, fiber optic to Ethernet media converters, or Sonar Headand Sonar Processor.If the problem still persists, you can perform a work-around by overriding thenetwork link speed.1) Click Setup→System Configuration in the M3 software.2) Check the Override Network Link Speed box and enter 125 into the Mbps field toset an override value.If the problem persists or if pings are missing in your recorded data, reduce theoverride value.

Tip

For more detailed troubleshooting information, see the M3 Sonar Maintenance Manual.
