1 INTRODUCTION

The Chirp 3260 Echosounder is a high output power echosounder that can be used for full ocean depth surveys and
sub-bottom profiling. The standard configuration is dual channel (3.5kHz, 50ohm, 10kW and 12kHz, 200ohm, 2kW).
This manual provides all information necessary for installation of the echosounder.

2 INSTALLATION

This section provides installation information for the Chirp 3260 Echosounder.

2.1 System Dimensions

The Chirp 3260 is housed in a standard 19", 5U rackmount case. Due to the weight of the system it is recommended
that sliding rails or support rails be used as part of the installation. Final fastening points of the Front Panel are shown
in the drawing below.

2.2 System Clearances

The following image shows the necessary clearances for the Chirp 3260 handles and rear panel connectors. Please
allow sufficient clearance for cable installations with proper bend radius.

For proper cooling and airflow it is recommended that a minimum 1U gap be left directly above the Chirp 3260. The
image below shows the locations of the system cooling fans and air intake slots.

2.3 System Connection

2.3.1 Peripherals

All Chirp 3260 peripheral equipment (GPS, Heave Compensator, etc) are to be connected directly to the host PC. The
configuration (baud rate, parity, start/stop bits, etc) of each peripheral is handled using the EchoControl Client software
application.

2.3.2 Data Logging

Same as the peripherals, any connection to an external data logger is done through the PC. There is also the capability
to run the data logging package on the same host PC that your EchoControl software is operating on.

information for other than the specified purpose intended is expressly prohibited unless agreed to in writing by Knudsen Engineering Limited.

2.4 Connector Panel Overview

The connector panel of the Chirp 3260 is located on the rear of the system. The following is a breakdown of the
individual connections, their functions, as well as any wiring or mating connection information.

2.4.1 Channel 1 Transducer

The Transducer connection transfers the high voltage transmit output signal to the transducer as well as the return echo
to the echosounder. CAUTION: Make sure that the Chirp 3260 is not transmitting while connecting or disconnecting
the transducer(s) to the Transducer connector.

Part Number: MS3470L12-3S
Mating Connector: MS3476L12-3P (or equivalent)
Preferred Cable: DSS-3
A - HIGH
B - SHIELD
C - LOW

2.4.2 Channel 2 Transducer

The Channel 2 Transducer is the same as the Channel 1 Transducer connection with the exception that it is offset to
eliminate the risk of connecting to improper transducer.

Part Number: MS3470L12-3SY
Mating Connector: MS3476L12-3PY (or equivalent)
Preferred Cable: Transducer Dependent
A - HIGH
B - SHIELD
C - LOW

2.4.3 AC Input

The Chirp 3260 needs to be powered from an AC source. The voltage range is 90-132 / 180 - 264 AC (auto selectable)
with a frequency range of 47-63 Hz.

Part Number: MS3470L12-3P
Mating Connector: MS3476L12-3S (or equivalent)
A - HIGH
B - Ground (connected to ground stud internally)
C - LOW

2.4.4 Int / Ext Rx Switch

The Internal (Int) or External (Ext) Receive (Rx) switch will toggle whether the receive signal is obtained from the
Chirp 3260 or from an external source (used in conjunction with the Ext Rx Input).

2.4.5 Ext Rx Input

If the Chirp 3260 Int/Ext Switch is placed in Ext (External) mode than the external receive signal should be
connected to this BNC.

2.4.6 Analog Output

The Analog Output BNC provides a 5V analog signal referenced to circuit/chassis ground. This is the received
signal from the transducer after preamplification, analog gain and anti-alias bandpass filtering, immediately prior
to digitization. It is provided for diagnostic use during maintenance and service only.

2.4.7 Sync In / Out

The Sync In BNC connection can be used to sync the Chirp 3260 outgoing ping with another device. Under the
System Menu of the EchoControl Client you will find an option to change the Sync Mode from Internal to
External. Once set to External the system will look for a high-to-low-to-high transition with a low cycle hold time
of at least 1ms but less than 50ms (min ping rate) on the Sync In BNC located on the system connector panel. The
echosounder transmit will occur on the rising edge on the sync signal. With the Sync Mode set to Internal the Sync
Out BNC provides a similar signal an each ping interval.

2.4.8 USB Interface

The USB interface provides communication to and from the Chirp 3260 and the host PC. It is a full speed 2.0
(12Mbps) connection. It mates with a standard “B” type USB cable.

Part Number: USBBFTV22N
Mating Cable: D219-05424 (provided with shipment)
