2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section explains the theory of operation of the SL 30/35 Mechanical Scanning
Sonar System.
2.1.1 Basic Principles
• Sound waves travel very efficiently through water.
• A sound pulse can be projected thr ough water in a controlled direction with the
sonar transducer.
• An object in the path of the projected sound pulse will reflect some sound pulse
back toward the sonar transducer.
• The speed of the sound pulse projected through the water can be predicted for
given conditions.
2.1.2 Determining Target Position
The SL 30/35 scanning sonar processor measures the time from the start of the
sound pulse projected through water, to the r eception of the sound pulse ref lected
back to the sonar transducer. The measured time is then convert ed to distance by
using the speed of sound through water.
Since the sound pulse is projected in a known direction, the bearing of the reflected
object is also known. This makes it possible t o locate the object with respect t o the
sonar transducer; the information will be used to plot the position of the reflected
target on a video graphic display monitor.
2.1.3 Forming an Image
The sound pulse projected will be attenuated as it travels through the water from t he
transducer to the target and back. Much of this att enuation is a predictable function
of the total time or the dist ance the sound pulse traveled through water. Increasing
the receiving gain with time can compensate for this decrease in the signal level.
This is done automatically in the sonar with a Time Varying Gain circuit.
Kongsberg Simrad Mesotech Ltd.
Port Coquitlam, BC - Canada
974-25007001/2.0 SL 30/35 Hull Sonar Operators Manual
Page 2.4 System Description
After the TVG correction, the absolute levels of the received signals will be
determined by the acoustic response of the ref lect ing target.
The sonar processor system repeatedly measures the TVG corrected target levels
by digitizing a sequence of samples after each sound pulse transmission. Each
sample is then plotted on the video display at the appropriate position according to
its range and bearing. The level of the target strength sample determines the color
used to plot each sample.
The process can be repeated with the transducer pointed in different directions,
forming an image of a large area of the bot t om and displaying it on the video screen.
2.1.4 Wheelhouse Units Description
The following paragraphs will describe the key features of the W heelhouse Units of
the SL 30/35 Hull Sonar.
2.1.4.1 Display Monitor
The display monitor required for the SL 30/35 can be either a VGA “CRT” type or
any commercial LCD monitor. In order t o have the full benefit of high resolution, we
recommend that you select the Simrad rug gedized LCD colour monitor. T he Simrad
colour monitors are available in two sizes, 18” and 20”. The monitor can be desk,
ceiling, or flush mounted into the bridge console.
The Simrad LCD monitor will run on 110/240VAC, 50/60Hz or on 24VDC, +/- 10%.

3. SL 30/35 CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The SL 30/35 Sonar uses a Control Panel for the most frequently needed
adjustments and a software menu system f or less frequently needed controls. This
chapter describes how to use the Control Panel to operate the sonar .
3.2 CONTROL PANEL
A thorough understanding of the system functions and controls is necessary to
optimize the overall performance. Sonar condit ions vary, sometimes drastically, and
it is not possible to identify proper sett ings that will provide the best sonar image at
all times.
Careful study of the information in this manual is highly recommended, preferably
while exploring the sonar’s various functions. System operation is a dynamic activity
requiring regular adjustment and fine-tuning to achieve the best possible results
under varying environmental conditions.
The Control Panel Buttons are described in the following paragraphs.

3.3 MAIN POWER SWITCH
The Main Power Switch controls power to the Interface Unit, t he Sonar Transceiver
Unit, the hull Transducer Dome Assembly and the hoisting and lowering unit of the
hull transducer dome.
Note: When the SL 30/35 System is supplied with a HP/PC Processing Unit, power
must be turned on separately.
3.3.1 Power ON/OFF Buttons
Press the Power ON button for approximately two seconds to power up the sonar.
The adjacent green LED will light up and remain illuminated indicating that power
has been supplied to the sonar and the system is ready for operat ion.
Press the Power OFF button to remove the power to the sonar. The adjacent red
LED will light up and remain illuminated indicating that power has been rem o ved.
Note: The Hull sonar dome transducer unit will automatically retract into the tank if
Power is turned OFF, or if a loss of Power is detected. The green LED adjacent to
the UP Transducer Arrow button will light, indicating that the hull sonar dome
transducer is retracted into t he t ank and will remain illuminated.

3.3.2 Sonar Dome Transducer Buttons
Press the UP Transducer Arrow button to raise the sonar dome to its upper position.
The middle yellow LED will blink while the sonar dome is being raised. The upper
green LED will light and remain illuminated when the sonar dome has reached the
full up position and is housed safely inside the hull of t he vessel.
Press the DOWN Transducer Arrow button to lower the sonar dome into its down
position. The middle yellow LED will blink while the sonar dome is lowering. The
lower green LED will light and remain illuminated when the sonar dome has reached
the full down position.
When the Power is tur ned off or if a power failure is detect ed, the sonar dome will
automatically retract safely inside the hull of the vessel and the upper gr een LED will
remain illuminated. If no Transducer LED’s are illuminated while the power has been
turned OFF, this indicates that the sonar dome has not been retr acted safely into the
hull of the vessel.
3.3.3 Sonar Settings Button
Press the Sonar Settings Button to display or hide the Header Menu at the top of the

allow you to move the mouse cursor and control the system by means of the menu
system and Tool Bar system on the display.
3.3.5 Sonar Selection Buttons
You do not need to use the Sonar Selection buttons if you only have one sonar hull
unit. These buttons are provided to allow you to select the active sonar when two
sonar hull units have been installed; for example: one SL 35, 90 kHz sonar and one
SL 35, 160 kHz sonar.
Press the Sonar 1 button or the Sonar 2 button to select the sonar you want to
control.
Note: If you only have a single sonar installed on the vessel, sonar 1 will be
automatically selected. If a second sonar is installed on the vessel, sonar 1 will be
automatically selected during the power-up.
