Series 5000 V2 Sonar System Operations and Maintenance Manual P/N 11214512, Rev. 04

WARNING

Klein Marine Systems, Inc. recommends all troubleshooting be
done by a trained technician. Some circuits in the Sonar
Transceiver and Processing Unit have voltages as high as 240 volts,
and some circuits in the sonar towfish have 1500 volts. You should
familiarize yourself with the location of these voltages before you
attempt any troubleshooting. Failure to observe these warnings
could result in injuries to personnel.

CAUTION

Serious damage to the sonar electronics may occur if the sonar
towfish is operated out of the water for periods longer than 15
minutes. Let the sonar cool 15 minutes or longer between
operations. Protect the sonar towfish from direct exposure to the
sun prior to and during operation in high temperature climates.

iii

CAUTION

The depth rating on the transducers for the Series 5000 V2 Sonar
System is 500 meters (1640 feet). Operations at depths greater than
500 meters may damage the transducers. For a Series 5000 V2
Sonar System with bathymetry option, the depth rating is
200 meters (656 feet). Operations at depths greater than 200 meters
may damage the transducers.

Series 5000 V2 Sonar System Operations and Maintenance Manual P/N 11214512, Rev. 04

CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

The Series 5000 V2 Sonar System is a very high resolution, multibeam long range
sonar system that is ideally suited for surface mine counter measure applications
and hydrographic, geophysical, pipeline, and offshore surveys. The two primary
drawbacks of conventional side-looking sonars, along-track resolution and towing
speed limitation, have been addressed by simultaneously forming multiple
dynamically focused beams per side, per ping. This allows greater towing speeds
without the usual loss of bottom coverage while maintaining high resolution. The
system employs operator selectable chirp and continuous wave (CW) technologies
which, when coupled with KMS proprietary display algorithms, provides
extraordinary sea floor images. In addition, rugged construction, low weight and
simple setup enables operation from large or small vessels.

1.1 Main Features

1-1

The Series 5000 V2 Sonar System provides the following main features:

• High speed, high resolution, multibeam side scan sonar.

• 14-bit digital multiplexer for transmission of sonar and control
data over a single coaxial cable.

• PC based operation using SonarPro and the Windows operating
system.

• Operation at 455 kHz for ranges up to 150 meters.

• Flexible and expandable system configurations.

• Chirp and CW operating modes.

• 500-meter operating depth (200-meter with bathymetry option).

• Operation with up to 800 meters of coaxial 0.680-inch diameter
armored tow cable.

• Heading, pitch, roll and pressure sensors.

• Optional interfaces for a responder, acoustic positioning system
yaw rate sensor, and altimeter.

• Small, lightweight and simple to operate and maintain.

1-2 CHAPTER 1 Overview

1.2 System Components

The main components of the Series 5000 V2 Sonar System are the towfish and the
topside system. The towfish is the underwater component and is towed with an
armored coaxial tow cable up to 800 meters in length. The topside system provides
the power source for the towfish and receives, stores and processes data acquired
by the towfish. The towfish connects to the topside system using an optionally
supplied winch with slip rings and an armored coaxial tow cable. A terminated,
light weight deck cable is optionally supplied for connecting to the winch or for
connecting directly to the towfish for testing. The topside system is composed of
two separate main components:

• Transceiver and Processing Unit (TPU)

• SonarPro Workstation

In addition, a K-Wing I or K-Wing II Depressor can be installed on the towfish
which enables a greater towing depth with less cable deployed.

1.2.1 Towfish

The towfish, which is shown in Figure 1-1, consists of a negatively buoyant
stainless steel towfish housing with attached port and starboard sonar transducer
arrays, an altimeter, a nose cone, and a tail cone with stabilizing fins. Inside the
towfish housing is a pressure housing containing the sonar electronics, a downlink
demultiplexer for control signals, an uplink multiplexer for sonar and sensor data,
a transmitter board for transmit pulses, receiver boards for receiving signals, and
the compass, pitch/roll and pressure sensors. The downlink control signals and the
uplink sonar and sensor data are multiplexed onto a single conductor coaxial tow
cable. An electro-mechanical termination is provided on the towfish end of the tow
cable, where a shackle provides a strong, reliable mechanical termination to the
towfish tow bracket, and an underwater connector connects to a jumper cable on
the towfish. Four carrying handles, two forward and two aft, are included for
lifting and transporting the towfish. The installed safety cable minimizes the
chances of losing the towfish should it collide with an obstruction.

1.2.2 TPU

The TPU is housed in a 19-inch rack mountable 2U chassis and connects to the
towfish directly using an optional coaxial tow cable, or to an optionally supplied
winch using an optionally supplied deck cable, where the winch connects to the
towfish using a tow cable. The deck cable can also be used to connect the TPU
directly to the towfish for testing. The TPU receives and demultiplexes the sonar
and sensor data from the towfish and transfers the data to the SonarPro
Workstation over an Ethernet connection. The TPU provides power and downlink

commands to the towfish by combining 200 VDC with FSK control signals for
transmission over the coaxial conductor in the tow cable. In addition, the TPU
initiates each ping cycle to the side scan sonar and provides a trigger signal
simultaneously with the responder trigger generated in the towfish for use with an
acoustic positioning system. The TPU can also input standard National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 message sentence formats from a
connected GPS, and a 1 PPS input is provided which inputs 1 PPS (one pulse per
second) signals from the GPS. This signal is used in conjunction with a NMEA
$ZDA message input to add an accurate time stamp to the data.

1.2.3 SonarPro Workstation

The SonarPro Workstation is an industrial grade based computer housed in a
19-inch rack mountable 2U chassis that inputs processed and time tagged sonar
and sensor data from the TPU over an Ethernet 100baseT connection. A SATA
hard drive is included with the W indows operating system and SonarPro installed.
SonarPro is a comprehensive Windows based software program that provides
multiple displays of real-time or previously recorded sonar and sensor data.
SonarPro also allows you to record all acquired sonar and sensor data. The
SonarPro Workstation includes a high resolution 27-inch 2560 x 1440 monitor, a
keyboard and a mouse.
