System Structure
3 Operation
3.1
Reading the speed and depth information from the system, and
configuring the system for use, is done through the touch-screen
display units, called human-machine interface (HMI) units.
Data is also sent to external equipment using a range of standard
communication protocols and data formats.
Two HMI Units are usually fitted, both of which can run both the
echosounder and speed log parts of the system, but typically one
is configured to run the echosounder, and the other is configured
to run the speed log.
The HMI Units use touch-screen technology, so that controlling the
system is done by touching the relevant part of the HMI Unit
screen.
The structure and operation of both HMI units is similar. The
examples below are from the speed log, but the principles are the
same for the echosounder.

When the vessel is afloat, the sensor is deployed below the hull on
the end of the installation pipe. But before the vessel is launched
or dry-docked, the sensor must be brought inboard so that it is not
damaged.
The two states are shown in the images below.
53
5.3.1
5.3.2
5.3.3
Cautions
Take care not to damage the inner surfaces of the valve; do
not attempt to lift the valve by passing rope, strops or chain
through the valve.
Do not paint the surface of the sensor.
Any modifications made to the vessel to fit the valve may
require approval of the appropriate classification body.
The Bottom Flange is welded to the hull, and the rest of the
assembly is fixed to the Bottom Flange. See section 6.4.1 for a
drawing of the Bottom Flange.
To fit the Bottom Flange to the hull:
Disassemble the Bottom Flange from the valve assembly
Cut a 187mm diameter hole in the hull
Weld the flange to the hull
Grind down the weld to ensure a flush finish
Paint the flange and hull with anti-corrosion and anti-fouling
paint
Check that the inner and top surfaces of the Bottom Flange
are free from dirt, swarf, paint, etc.
54
5.3.4
55
The Sensor Head Assembly is now ready to be fitted into the Ball
Valve Assembly.
56
5.3.5
Refer to the images in section 5.3 above to see how the Sensor
Head Assembly is fitted into the Ball Valve Assembly. The parts of
the Ball Valve Assembly are shown below.
Pass the Sensor Cable and Installation Pipe through the Top
Flange (60 mm) [9].
Run the following parts over the length of the Sensor Cable,
and then over the length of the Installation Pipe, in order:
o 2 Top Flange Rubber Glands [10]
o The Top Flange Washer [11]
o The Top Nut [12]
Pull the Installation Pipe back through the Top Flange, so
that the Top Flange Rubber Glands and Top Flange Washer
57
5.3.6
fit inside the top of the Top Flange, and carefully and loosely
screw the Top Nut into the Top Flange. Do not tighten the
Top Nut yet.
Rotate the Installation Pipe so that the Sensor Head will face
forwards when the Top Flange is fitted to the rest of the
assembly. Refer to the alignment marks on the Sensor Head;
see the diagram below.
Push the Sensor Head Assembly fully up through the Top
Flange, so that the Sensor Head is completely inside the Top
Flange.
Tighten the Top Nut to compress the Top Flange Rubber
Glands, and lock it in place using two M8 screws [13]; one
locking the Top Nut into the Top Flange, and the other
locking the Installation Pipe into the Top Nut. Note that
tightening the Top Nut compresses the Top Flange Rubber
Glands, which creates the water seal between the
Installation Pipe and the Top Flange.
58
5.3.7
5.3.8
Screw four Pin Screws [2] into the top of the Ball Valve.
Place the Gasket [3] on top of the Ball Valve
Check that the Sensor Head will face forwards when the
Top Flange is fitted to the Ball Valve; if necessary, loosen the
Top Nut and locking screws to allow the Installation Pipe to
be rotated.
Place the Top Flange, with the Sensor Head Assembly inside
it, over the Pin Screws on the top of the Ball Valve, and fix it
in place using four M16 washers [6], four M16 Spring
Washers [5] and four M16 nuts [4]. Take care not to
damage the sensors active surface when lowering the
assembly onto the Ball Valve.
Tighten the nuts on the threaded rods to 95Nm.
Loosen the Top Nut and locking screws to free the Sensor
Head Assembly, but take care that the Sensor Head
assembly does not fall.
Carefully lower the Sensor Head using the Installation Pipe
until it stops. Check that it is flush with the hull, and facing
forwards.
Lift the Installation Pipe again until it stops, so that the Sensor
Head is inside the Top Flange.
Tighten the Top Nut and locking screws to hold the Sensor
Head Assembly in place.
Turn the handle on the Ball Valve to close it. This will protect
the Sensor Head when the vessel is launched.
Prepare the system for operation when the vessel is afloat after
dry-docking as follows.
Turn the handle on the Ball Valve to open it.
Loosen the Top Nut and locking screws to free the Sensor
Head Assembly. This will also allow any air inside the
assembly to be expelled; look out for water leaking
between the Installation Pipe and Top Nut when the air has
all been driven out; re-tighten the Top Nut a little if
necessary.
Carefully lower the Sensor Head using the Installation Pipe
until it stops. Take care not to rotate the Installation Pipe, so
that the Sensor Head continues to face forwards.
59
5.3.9
Tighten the Top Nut (to 75Nm) and locking screws to hold
the Sensor Head Assembly in place. Use 1.5Nm torque, and
fix with Loctite 222.
The sensor can be removed from the valve while the vessel is
afloat, as follows.
Caution: loosen nuts gradually, as water pressure may exert large
forces on the sensor assembly. Proceed carefully and look out for
water leaks.
5.3.10
Loosen the Top Nut and locking screws to free the Sensor
Head Assembly.
Lift the Installation Pipe until it stops, so that the Sensor Head
is inside the Top Flange.
Re-tighten the Top Nut and locking screws.
Turn the handle on the Ball Valve to close it.
Remove the M16 nuts and washers that are holding the Top
Flange to Ball Valve.
Carefully lift the Top Flange, with the Sensor Head inside it,
from the top of the Ball Valve.
The Sensor Head can now be accessed by loosening the
Top Nut and locking screws and pushing on the Installation
Pipe.
Re-fitting the sensor is very similar to the initial installation (see 5.3.4
above).
Assemble the Sensor Head to the Installation Pipe and Top
Flange with the Sensor Head fully raised, as described
above.
Fit the Top Flange to the Ball Valve, and tighten the Top Nut
and locking screws.
Make sure that the assembly is re-fitted so that the Sensor
Head faces forwards; check the mark on the Sensor Head.
Use the valve handle to let water into the valve.
Carefully undo the Top Nut until water starts to seep out,
and then fully lower the Sensor Head.
Re-tighten the Top Nut (75Nm) and locking screws.

Set-Up
The system is set up using the HMI Units. See section 3 for details of
the HMI screens.
5.6.1
The Hardware Interface screens of the HMI (see 0) allow you to set
up:
The opto-isolated output channels
The pulse input channels
The analog output channels
The relay switches
The printer
5.7
Calibration
5.7.1
The pointer on the HMI touch screen should appear exactly where
it is touched. If not, run the touch-screen calibration procedure.
76
The HMI unit offers two calibration processes, which are available
through the PenMount Control Panel application.
Standard Calibration Click this button and arrows appear, pointing
to red squares. Use your finger or stylus to touch the red squares in
sequence. After the fifth red point calibration is complete, to skip,
press ESC.
Advanced Calibration Advanced Calibration uses 4, 9, 16 or 25
points to effectively calibrate the touch panel linearity. Click this
button and touch the red squares in sequence with a stylus. To
skip, press ESC.
5.7.2

on the right, so that you can see what the effect of the table is at
any time during the process.
If one of the calibration trips doesnt work well, select it
by touching it, and press the Delete button to remove it
from the table.
If one of the columns in the Calibration table is bad, you can:
Over-write it from one of the columns in the Calibration trips
table (see step 9 above), or
Stop is being used in calibration calculations by selecting
any one (or all) of the values in the column by touching it,
and using the backspace key to delete the value.
Columns with any one of the three values blank are not
used; or
Touch a value in a table to edit it (see below to see how this
might be used).
When the calibration process is complete, if there is a printer fitted
to the system, use the Print button to make a printout of the calibration data as a record of the
process.
It is strongly recommended that the full calibration process is
followed as described above. However, alternative methods are
possible:
One-way trips: if it is certain that there is no effect on water
speed from wind or tide, you can use the results from one
direction only:
o At the end of the first run (A to B) touch the
end run button as usual, and then use the
Calibration Trip Use button to use the data
from the run so far.
o The Start button will now be flashing, waiting for you to
do the return (B to A) trip. You can clear this flashing
as follows: touch it, to start a dummy trip, then
touch the End button, and select Cancel from the
Set results in calibration table? prompt.
Use GPS speed data; this is ground speed, so only matches
the true water speed if there is no tidal current. But if this is
the case, then you could create a column in the Calibration
table as follows:
o Touch the Ref. field and use the keypad to enter the
GPS speed that is shown in the top-left of the window
o Touch the Log field and enter the raw value from the
speed log: this is shown to the left of the Calibration
table header.
80
o Enter zero (or a true value if known) into the Drift field.
Blanks in any of the fields cause the column to be
ignored in the calibration calculations.
