ESN200 Operation and Installation Manual
Introduction
The SKIPPER ESN200 is an echosounder from SKIPPER Multi series. It is made to fulll all ISO/
IMO standards, as well as the modern IEC standards for maritime equipment and alarm handling.
But it also fulls many extra function demanded on the modern ship.
Features
The ESN200 is a navigational echo sounder system that is made to full the needs of a modern
SOLAS vessel. Its aim is to be automated, so that the user does not need to adjust settings. But it
also allows the user to adjust if they feel the need.
The ESN is part of the SKIPPER Multi family, allowing the use of LAN to interconnect systems
and use multiple screens.
Features include:
• Easy and logical operation via a touch display, with fully automatic settings
• Flexible installation with minimal wiring
• Basic but comprehensive communication and features
• Fully integratable and frequently updated with the latest integration standards
• Possibility of multiple control units
• Remotely accessible
• Internal diagnostics and Built in test
• Up to 8 of the most used frequencies
• Approved for use with transducers as low as 38kHz giving a large variety of depths
• 2 simultaneous channels, each of which is frequency controllable

Installation
The ESN200 comprises of 2 units and up to 2 transducers
ESN200-SB Display unit: Contains a 2 NMEA outputs and 2 NMEA inputs used solely for dim-
ming, or normal DPT outputs. An RJ45 connector is used for LAN communication (IEC61162-450)
to the Electronic/transceiver unit. Power input 24VDC
JB70E2-SA Electronic and transceiver unit; This unit is the echosounder producing the acoustic
signals and processing the returns to give the appropriate outputs for depth. It contains connections for 2 transducers, 2 LAN ports for connection to the bridge or control units, auxiliary inputs
and outputs, 5 NMEA outputs and 3 inputs, and power input 24VDC and 110-230VAC. This unit is
mounted on or close to the bridge, with long cables coming from the transducers.
If 7 outputs is not enough, the NMEA will typically be sent to a splitter/Expander such as the
SKIPPER NE108-SA to give the information to the bridge/alarm system and VDR.

ESN200 Operation and Installation Manual
Mechanical installation
Positioning of the transducers
• A transducer should be installed in an area securing optimal measurement free from noise
and aeration.
• Transducers are normally installed in the noise free area in the foreship (see A on g.)
Optimal system operation is achieved by tting the transducer as deep as possible on the hull.
The transmitting surface of the transducer must be installed horizontally.
Do not mount transducers close to the propeller or aft of other hull installations (outlets, vents or
other protruding details). It is necessary to select a part of the hull that is submerged under all
load and speed conditions, and to avoid positions where air is trapped in heavy weather.
If a at, horizontal section is not available for transducer tting, the shipyard must construct a suitable bed.
Larger vessels are often tted with two transducers, one fore and one aft (see g.)
The fore transducer is the primary transducer, (normally 50 kHz).
The aft transducer is a secondary transducer, (normally 200 kHz).
An aft transducer may be troubled with aeration and turbulence and may not operate in higherspeed. It is normally solely used to measure aft depth in shallow water / slow speed.

Installation Details
Refer to SKIPPER’s installation procedures in the appendix and on our web site www.skipper.no
regarding information about sea valve, tank installation, welding, cable glands etc
Note:
Protect the active element of the transducer and do not paint the surface.
Transmission in the air must be avoided! This may cause mechanical damage of the element.
Transducers should be positioned as close to the bow as possible within the rst 3rd of the ship. It
should be possible to draw a cone of +-60 degrees underneath the transducer without any objects
entering the cone. The face of the transducer should be horizontal with no more than 5 degrees
tilt. If this is not possible a blister should be assembled. This should have at least 0.3m of at area
in front of the transducer, and be tear drop shaped.
Generally there should be nothing in front of the transducer that can cause turbulence within 2m.
Once connected the system requires the installer to identify which transducer is connected to
which of the 2 connectors. System required 1 approved transducer to be installed (currently
200/50/38 kHz), the second can be any transducers.
The approved transducer should be set to primary, and this is the transducer that reports the
standard DPT output messages.
Both connectors can have a transducer tted. To select the correct xture, start the system and go
to the cong menus, and then the ES setup.
Here you can select the transducer menu and by clicking on the transducer connector port you
can move the transducer to the appropriate area of the vessel, and select the transducer, by part
number. This will change the parameters to match your transducer.

** Transducers not manufactured by Skipper should be tested using the ETT985 Tester to prove the transducer is within specication (The named transducers have BV reviewed tests, proving they work to speci-
cation with the system).
Standard transducers have the required values set. These can be changed in the settings of
‘Other’ See section ‘Other Transducers’ At least 1 installed transducer should be within the SKIPPER approved list.

Other echosounder parameters (Main setup)
Other echosounder parameters are set by default, but can be adjusted in the ES menu if required.
Some parameters and functions must be activated using a code number in the option codes tab.
This is to prevent users inadvertently changing parameters that can make the system perform
poorly.
