The WASSP DRX is a ‘Black Box’ smart transceiver that interfaces to devices and sensors
to make up the WASSP Multibeam Sounder System.
The system can be configured to operate in various modes, typically using a wide-angle
sonar transducer to profile the water column and seafloor in high resolution.
Using appropriate sensors, the DRX can be configured to be suitable for operations such
as commercial fishing, sport fishing, survey and mapping, exploration, search and rescue
and many more.
Actual data types output to client applications, such as WASSP CDX, will be determined
by:
»Data types enabled in DRX, as determined by the licensing model.
»Data types the client application supports and queries for.
»If the client application is using raw, processed or post processed data .
»Data types that are supported will increase through continual product development
and DRX upgrades.
The DRX functionality is defined by the software installed, the data types enabled,
the transducer connected, and the physical DRX model. The physical DRX model is
supported in 4 configurations:
»WSP-603-200; DRX-25 wideband model (no longer available).

2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The WASSP multibeam sounder system requires the following components:
DRX; Transmit, receive, digital signal processing, display processing, License management
and data server for client applications.
WASSP TRANSDUCER; See WASSP Transducer Reference Manual.
PC; Control, post processing and viewing of sounder, sonar and mapping needs to be
handled by a suitable application, running on PC or tablet.
GPS; Position and time required for water column and bathymetry geo-referencing.
HEADING SENSOR; Required for correctly orienting the multibeam data.
MOTION SENSOR; Required for stabilising the water column and bathymetry data for
vessel roll, pitch and heave.
SOUND VELOCITY PROBE; Required for correcting Sound Velocity in order to improve
depth accuracy across the swath.
SOUND VELOCITY PROFILER; For accurate range measurement, sound velocity needs
to be known at the transducer and through the water column. The Sound Velocity Profile
information can be applied if using 3rd Party applications supporting SVP.
NOTE: As with any multibeam sounder, the quality of the sensors connected
will directly aect the performance of the system. Enhancements to system
performance include using high precision RTK GPS, accurate sound velocity
measurements, sound velocity profiles, and high performance motion sensors.

DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL
3.1. INSTALLATION PARTS
Standard supply:
»1 x DRX unit
»4 x Connector plugs
»1 x power cable
»1 x LAN cable
»1 x USB Flash Drive:
• Find My DRX Application
• WASSP CDX Application
• WASSP Utilities
• License key for Data Manager
»Depending on kit:
• Transducer installation kit (a package with a transducer cable clamp, a TX
connector and installation manual)
• Widescan Sensor package (refer to Sensor Box Installation Manual)
»WASSP DRX Installation Manual
3.2. TRANSDUCER
• Keep away from exhaust pipes and vents.
»Avoid electrical and acoustic noise as this will have a direct impact on system
performance:
• Avoid locations close to electrical equipment such as inverter, converters and
other power supplies.
• Keep away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors
and generators.
»To avoid damage to the DRX:
• Locate where Shock and vibration are minimal.
• The area should not be prone water ingress or high moisture content.
CAUTION: Electrical or acoustic noise will directly impact system performance
and signal integrity. AC/DC inverters and DC/DC converters will impact system
sensitivity and can cause system noise even if not directly connected. If an AC/
DC or DC/DC PSU is required only use low noise, good quality products in
order to minimise impact on system performance.
CAUTION: Operating outside the temperature specification will reduce
the operating lifetime of the DRX. For specifications, see “9 Technical
Specifications” on page 69.
Refer to Knowledge Base for guidelines on the Operating Environment.
“Appendix E - Product Registration, Support and Resources” on page 89.
The DRX supports multiple transducer types and can be setup to operate in a variety of
configurations. Typical setup will be multibeam wideband mode with:
»WMB160
»WMB80
Detailed specification and mounting methods for supported transducers is described in
the WASSP Transducer Installation Manual.
Transducer selection is described in “5.2.4. Data Setup Tab” on page 37.
3.3. LOCATING THE DRX SYSTEM
The DRX is a highly sensitive receiver which is capable of discerning signals of less than
one microvolt. In order to get the highest performance out of the DRX system keep
the transducer, transducer cable and the DRX far away from sources of electrical and
acoustic noise. AC/DC inverters and DC/DC converters are particularly noisy and even if
not used to power the system, should be kept as far away as possible.
The DRX will need to be located with access to all required sensors. This needs to
include transducer cable, GPS, motion sensor and LAN connections. Serial cables from
sensors should be run direct to DRX with no splitters or interfaces boxes.
When selecting a mounting location, keep the following points in mind to maintain
optimal performance:
»Maintain ambient temperature in the vicinity of the DRX within operating
specifications. Operating in temperatures outside of specification will result in
reduced operating lifetime or direct failure due to overheating:
• The area needs to be well ventilated in order to avoid local ambient increase
from self heating.
• Keep out of direct sunlight. Exposure to sunlight will result in direct solar gain
3.4. MOUNTING THE DRX
Installation & Mounting Considerations
The DRX can be installed on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead.
Using the mounting flanges on the bottom plate, the DRX is mounted vertically on a
bulkhead, or horizontally on a hard surface. Important considerations are:
»A vertical position is ideal for optimal thermal performance (Transducer Connectors
front face down). See ”Figure 4. DRX Bulkhead Mount” on page 16.
»The second option is horizontal on a hard, flat surface. See “Figure 5. DRX Horizontal
Mount” on page 16.
»If mounted in an enclosed space, forced ventilation will be required to maintain an
ambient temperature within the stated limits around DRX. See ”Figure 4. DRX Bulkhead
Mount” on page 16. and See “Figure 5. DRX Horizontal Mount” on page 16.
»Leave slack in cables for maintenance and servicing ease.
»For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sucient space at the sides and rear
of the DRX installation location.
»Fasten the DRX to the mounting location with a minimum of four self tapping
screws. See Section “7 Outline Drawings” on page 61 for DRX dimensions and
mounting clearances.
• Mounting screws; Minimum M6 x 40mm x 4.
• When installing the DRX, thread locking fluid or locking washers are recommend
to avoid vibration loosening.
• Anti Vibration Mounts are recommended.
»DRX should be always be mounted on a hard surface capable of supporting the DRX
weight.

CAUTION: IF DRX is mounted in an enclosed space forced ventilation as
described below is required.
This section describes the installation requirements for cables from and to the DRX.
Access to, and connection of all cables should be performed by a qualified installer.
3.5.1. Power Supply
The DRX should use a clean power supply. For best performance use a DC battery supply
or as a secondary alternative it is recommended to use a low noise converter.
CAUTION: A noisy power supply will have direct impact on system
performance.

Figures 4 and 5 show clearance required for cabling and forced air ventilation if DRX is in
an enclosed space.
Before installing the DRX in an enclosed space ensure that the ventilation is sucient to
prevent overheating. Consider the following:
»Cool air supply needs to be able to adequately dissipate the thermal output of DRX.
»Ensure the hot exhaust air from the enclosed area does not recirculate into the DRX.
Perforations in the top will assist in removing exhaust air.
»Install the DRX in a position to allow the air flow to circulate eectively through the
outlet.
»Route all cabling to minimise blockage of airflow.
NOTE: If operating in a high ambient environment forced airflow over the DRX
will significantly improve thermal performance. Always make sure that there is
adequate ventilation.

RS-232 IN/OUT
Connector RS232
RS-232 is a serial connection for sensors/processors that natively output RS-232. For
NMEA 0183 talkers it will depend on the instrument as to whether it will be RS-232
compliant or require a converter. RS-232 supports power out at same voltage as DRX
power supply.
See “Appendix B - Supported Sensors and Sentences” on page 82.
RS-232 can be configured using the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. See “5.2. Commissioning
Step 2: Sensor Configuration” on page 34.
See “Appendix A.4 RS-232” on page 73 for connection specification.
RS-422 IN/OUT
Connector RS422-A and RS422-B
RS-422 is a serial connection for sensors natively outputting RS-422 or by using RS-232 to
RS-422 converter. For NMEA 0183 talkers it will depend on the instrument as to whether
it will be RS-422 compliant or require a converter.
The RS-422 Connector also supports PPS IN:
KP1/KP2 IN
Connector AUX
KP IN interface is to allow the DRX to transmit in sync with another sounder/sonar. This
feature is useful for helping reduce transmit pulse interference.
KP IN takes the key pulse from an external system (master) and synchronises the DRX
(slave) transmit pulse with that key pulse as a trigger.
See “Appendix A.9 KP1/KP2 In” on page 78 for connection specification.
See “5.2.6. Key Pulse Tab” on page 40 for connection information.
KP1 OUT
Connector AUX
KP OUT interface is to allow the DRX to transmit in sync with another sounder/sonar.
This mode allows the DRX to be the KP master, and the receiving sounder/sonar to be
the slave. This feature is useful for helping reduce transmit pulse interference.
This mode is recommended to optimise the nterference immunity from the connected
sounder.
See “Appendix A.10 KP1 Out” on page 79 for connection specification.
See “5.2.6. Key Pulse Tab” on page 40 for connection information.
»RS-422-A supports power out at same voltage as DRX power supply
»RS-422-B allows data forwarding and power out at same voltage as DRX power
supply
See “Appendix B - Supported Sensors and Sentences” on page 82.
RS-422 can be configured using the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. See “5.2. Commissioning
Step 2: Sensor Configuration” on page 34.
See “Appendix A.5 RS-422-A” on page 74 and “Appendix A.6 RS-422-B” on page 75
for connection specifications.
NMEA 0183
Connector 0183
NMEA 0183 is a serial connection for sensors natively outputting NMEA 0183 (single
talker, multi listener). As well as an NMEA input, this connector also features an NMEA
output.
The 0183 Connector also supports PPS IN.
See “Appendix B - Supported Sensors and Sentences” on page 82.
NMEA 0183 can be configured using key DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. See “5.2.
Commissioning Step 2: Sensor Configuration” on page 34.
See “Appendix A.7 NMEA 0183” on page 76 for connection specification.
Remote Power
Connector AUX
A local supplied latching switch can be connected to pins eight (Remote PWR On) and
nine (Remote PWR On GND) of connector AUX. When the switched is closed the DRX will
power on. When the switch is open (circuit open) then the DRX will power o.
See “Appendix A.8 Remote Power” on page 77 for connection specification.
PPS IN
Connectors RS422-A, RS422-B and 0183
Pulse-per-second (PPS) input allows connection equipment with a PPS timing output.
PPS input allows the DRX to be accurately synchronised with GPS UTC enabling highly
accurate positional timing accuracy, potentially improving mapping data positional
accuracy by removing GPS latency issues.
Through the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES the user can choose which PPS input is tied to
which input, and view that the signal is being correctly received. See “5.2. Commissioning
Step 2: Sensor Configuration” on page 34.
See “Appendix A.5 RS-422-A” on page 74 and “Appendix A.7 NMEA 0183” on page
76 for connection specification.

The DRX is designed to be run on DC voltage, see specs in “9 Technical Specifications”
on page 69.
See “Appendix A.11 Power Connection” on page 80 for connection specification.
Ethernet
Connector LAN
The Ethernet link is used for all communication between the client application running
on PC (or other devices) and the DRX. This link is used for control of the DRX and for the
DRX to supply data for visualisation and post processing to the client device.
The Ethernet connection can be connected either:
• directly using crossover cable or auto crossover (DRX supports auto MDI/MDI-X)
OR
• via a network switch if supporting multiple clients or running the DRX on vessel
LAN (local area network).

The earth lug on the DRX should be commected to a good earth point on the vessel. Use
a short braided cable for optimal noise rejection.
CAUTION: Noise due to poor grounding will have direct impact on DRX
performance and signal integrity.
3.6. DISPLAY AND CONTROL DEVICES
The DRX supports two levels of communication over the Ethernet link; web browser
based DRX SETUP WEBPAGES and IP based DRX client applications.
In order to initiate communication with the DRX the client needs to know the DRX IP
address. This can either be done through the client application discovery mechanism or
using the ‘FIND MY DRX’ Help utility.
The ‘FIND MY DRX’ utility can be run on any PC connected to the DRX over the Ethernet
connection. ‘FIND MY DRX’ will find any DRX on the network by IP address.
NOTE: The PC only needs a physical Ethernet connection to find DRXs on the
network. IP address and subnet is unimportant, however, for connectivity the
DRX Client Application needs to be on the same TCP/IP Subnet.
NOTE: Clicking on the appropriate DRX in ‘FIND MY DRX’ will automatically
launch the web browser with the appropriate URL.
NOTE: Chrome browser, shipped with DRX, is fully supported. Other
browsers may not behave as expected. If webpage does not update use
CTRL F5.
CAUTION: Only one instance of ‘DRX SETUP WEBPAGES’ should be run
otherwise a corruption may occur.
3.6.2. DRX Client Applications
Ethernet IP is used for discovery, control and data through supported DRX client
applications. Current supported client applications include WASSP CDX, 3rd Party
Navigation, sounder and survey applications and are described in “6 Control and Display
Application Support” on page 55.
NOTE: For DRX client application connection, the DRX and client application
need to be on the same TCP/IP subnet.
If DRX and client applications have incompatible IP addresses, discovery will
succeed but connection will fail.

5.3. COMMISSIONING STEP 3: ON WATER PATCH TESTS
On water patch tests are essential for correctly configuring the DRX. The accuracy of the
values derived from these patch tests will directly impact system performance.
These patch tests can be run using various tools including those in 3rd Party application
such as HYPACK, WASSP Patch Test Utility shipped with WASSP CDX or manually through
WASSP CDX. The sections below describe methods for running patch tests manually
using WASSP CDX.
5.3.1. GPS Time Delay
Most GPS sources used in conjunction with WASSP will have a significant delay between
when the ship passes through a position and when that position is sent on the serial port.
This delay may be in the order of 1 second. This means at 10 knots an object will move
10 metres if passed in opposite directions at this speed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NMEA Buer and multiplexers can add significant
delays to serial data. Any configuration change will require recalculation of
delays. All connections from sensors should be direct to DRX..
NOTE: If using PPS input to synchronise to UTC time (configured through
the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES) the GPS time delay will be automatically
accounted for, and the GPS Patch Test is not required.
Test 1: For use with standard GPS
To perform this test, find a distinct feature such as a big rock, sharp slope or cable.
1. Run over the distinct object at SOG (e.g. 5kts).
Page 48 of 92Page 49 of 92Doc: DRX Installation
wassp.comwassp.com
Version: 5.0 June 2018
Figure 25. GPS Time Delay Stage 1
2. Run back over object in the opposite direction, same SOG (e.g. 5kts) and drop a
mark on the same spot.
Doc: DRX Installation
Version: 5.0 June 2018
DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL
4. The delay adjustment is added to the current Time Lag (Sec) value in the DATA
SETUP section of the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. See “5.2.4. Data Setup Tab” on page
37.
Test 2: For use with DGPS
The advantage of this approach over the previous test is that it will eliminate pitch errors.
However, the displacement of the object will be smaller and this will be dicult to
measure accurately as GPS errors can make this impossible.
Approach the distinct feature from the same direction at two vastly dierent known
speeds, as close to zero and at the fastest mapping speed. If the object moves by delta
metres further along the vessel track (+ve) at a faster speed the adjustment to the time
delay will be:
( - late / + early ) 2 x delta
adjustment =
(fast speed in knots) - (slow speed in knots)
5.3.2. Roll Oset
Figure 26. GPS Time Delay Stage 2
3. Use the measure tool to measure the dierence between the object’s position in
the direction the vessel traveled. If the object appears earlier than the previous pass,
the time delay is positive.
Before attempting a roll patch test it is suggested that the GPS Time lag and any latencies
are accounted for. Also, it is recommended that you conduct a preliminary adjustment
of the Sound Speed settings to get things in the correct ballpark. Configure the mapping
width to be at the maximum 120° for best results.
The WASSP Patch Test Utility, shipped with CDX, can be used to automatically calculate
and apply Roll Oset. Alternatively, Roll Oset can be manually calculated.
Manual Roll Patch Test
1. Use the local chart and local knowledge to identify a spot for the roll patch test –
ideally a flat area between 20-40m (shallower than 10m will make it hard to get an
accurate reading).
2. Run the ship along a line in direction A (it may help to run with the tide and wind
behind the vessel as the return journey is the important one).
3. Turn the ship and make a return journey B so that the same area is mapped but
where the exact opposite heading is used. It may help to use the Heading Up and
COG functions.
Figure 27. GPS Time Delay Stage 3
The formula below outlines this process.
( - late / + early ) change in position in metres
adjustment =
speed in knots used in both directions

DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL
NOTE: the measurement is the distance of the line in this case rather than
the depth change – this depth change across the swath is not used.
6. Use a calculator (one is present in Windows) to compute tan(a) (D/H) e.g.
a. Run window Calculator, Select ‘View: Scientific Mode’
b. Enter D (e.g. 2.8)
c. Press ‘/’
d. Enter H (e.g. 73.23m)
e. Press ‘=’
f. Select ‘Inv’
g. Press ‘tan-1‘
h. Record this number as the Patch Roll Quantity
7. To compute the sign (positive roll or negative roll) of the Roll patch look at the
Starboard side-track as journey B is made.
If this is shallower than track A then the sign for the roll oset is positive. If this is
deeper then the depths from track A the sign for the roll oset is negative.
Figure 28. Manual Roll Patch Test
NOTE: Showing path A and path B overlapping. Measurement D is the
change in the depths (2.8m in this case) between the edges of swaths.
4. Use the WASSP CDX Profile tool to measure the depth displacement between the
edges of the swath on one side. This value is D. It will help to stop pinging while
making the measurement so that the swath does not get overwritten.
5. Measure the entire width of the swath at the point you have measured the
displacement. This value is H (73.229m in this case).
8. Enter the Roll oset value computed into the Roll Oset setting in the DATA SETUP
section of the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. See “5.2.4. Data Setup Tab” on page 37.
9. Repeat these steps in a dierent area, or on a dierent Mapping database. If there is
still a significant dierence > 50cm add any dierence generated to the Roll oset
already computed and then test again. It should be possible to generate a roll oset
within 0.1 degrees.
5.3.3. Pitch Oset
If GPS time delay can be completed using variable speed, See ‘Test 2 For use with DGPS’
“5.3.1. GPS Time Delay” on page 49 then attempt to compute pitch oset as follows:
Pitch Correction
Requires: >10m depth, Distinct Object, DGPS or better,
Accurate Time Lag.
1. Once the Time Lag is accurately ascertained using
the variable speed method described in the previous
commissioning step, a Pitch Correction value can be
ascertained by having the Ship travel over a distinct object
in opposite directions.

Version: 5.0 June 2018
2. The object will move if the Pitch oset is incorrect and
the use of trigonometry will determine the Pitch oset
between the Motion Sensor and the Transducer.
3. Enter this number into the Pitch Oset in the DATA SETUP
section of the DRX SETUP WEBPAGES. See “5.2.4. Data
Setup Tab” on page 37.

DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL DRX INSTALLATION MANUAL
5.3.4. Heading Oset
Requires: DGPS or better, Distinct Object and >10m depth.
To determine an accurate heading correction between the heading sensor and the
transducer orientation we need high accuracy position sensors and corrected seafloor
data.
1. Approach a small, distinct seafloor feature so that the port side of the swath covers
the object.
2. Pass over the object so that the starboard side of the swath crosses the same
object in the opposite direction. It is important that these two tracks are on exactly
parallel heading lines.
3. Use basic trigonometry to calculate the required heading oset that will allow the
object to remain stationary. Redo the heading test to check that the heading oset
was entered correctly.
6 CONTROL AND DISPLAY APPLICATION SUPPORT
The DRX system is supported by a number of PC and/or Tablet based applications for
DRX control and data post processing, data storage and data visualisation.
For detailed operating instruction refer to the applications’ appropriate user manual.
