» Install the W3P in a position on the transom the vessel, the pole can be mounted

on to a suitably strong swim platform (or duckboard) the mount can accommodate fore/aft angles of up to 15° by selecting a location for the shear pin. Alternatively, the bracket can be rotated to be and mounted against the transom of the vessel again the bracket can accommodate angles up to 15° for aft. The mount should be strong enough to not cause the pole to wobble while underway, or cause damage to the vessel under normal operation, or while kicking up on the event of striking an object

» The unit should be mounted were the transducer can be lowered into a clean ﬂow

of water away from electrically noisy systems, or items on the vessel that create turbulent water (i.e water inlets/outlets, engine intakes or exhausts

» The unit should not interfere or come in contact with the vessels drive units (i.e

outboards or sterndrives) and should not be subjected to thrust or forces from the drive unit (i.e a jet drive)

» Install the pole where the GPS satellite compass on top of the unit has an

unobstructed view of the sky, and is away from VHF transmitters and RADAR systems that may cause interference

» Install the system where the long range Wi-Fi antenna (mounted inside the case

under the satellite compass at the rear of the unit) is not blocked by metallic object that could interrupt transmission

» Ensure that the pole can be raised and lowered.

NOTE: The W3P pole is designed with a shear pin that will break if excessive force is applied to the pole – this is to try to protect the pole in case it strikes an object. The pole will rotate forward in this instance and it should be in a position that it will not cause harm to anyone on board.

NOTE: Maximum Speed warning: the unit is designed to be used at a speed up to 15knots in calm seas, operating at speeds above this could cause damage or death to persons on board the vessel, damage to the unit, or damage to the vessel.

7 INITIAL SETUP - OPERATION

7.1. INITIAL SETUP W3P

Turn on the PC display device, and do the initial setup for the DRX (see “6 Initial setup -

Connecting To System” on page 18).

7.1.1. Osets

The unit is factory calibrated to work right out of the box, however you will need to add the draft oset (depth of the transducer) for correct mapping.

1. From the HOME bar, under

CONFIGURATION select DRX PROCESSING.

2. Select TIDES.

1. From the HOME bar, under

CONFIGURATION select DRX PROCESSING.

2. Select TIDES.

NOTE: NAVIONICS (AUTO), HARMONIC (AUTO) and MANUAL (STATION) require appropriate cartography containing tidal station information. Use a Navionics SD card to use these modes.

When TIDE CONTROL is disabled DRX tidal data is not updated by CDX. On initially setting TIDE CONTROL to OFF the DRX tide value will be set to zero.

3. Select TIDE CONTROL on, TIDE MODE to NAVIONICS AUTO and set the local

UTC OFFSET time.

7.1.2. Tide Oset

The Tide Oset is used in conjunction with the local tide oset to display the depth corrected to chart datum.

Incorrect tide/draft osets will result in incorrect depths being recorded and poor mapping results.

It is necessary to select your current UTC oset (+/-14 hours) and to select the database to use for tide corrections. In either case using the Harmonic (built in) tides or Navionics Tides (from installed chart) you have the option of automatic tide station selection, or manually select the tide station. In auto mode the system will select the closest tide station, but this may not necessarily be the correct tide station to use i.e if the tide station

is on another coast/inlet.

Tidal height oset can be conﬁgured to be applied as a depth correction in the DRX. This will depend on the tide option set in the TIDES menu.

When TIDE CONTROL is enabled CDX will set the DRX tidal level as per the options below.

TIDE MODE will provide you with the

following options: DISABLED, MANUAL

(OFFSET), RTK, NAVIONICS (AUTO), NAVIONICS (MANUAL), HARMONIC (AUTO) or HARMONIC (MANUAL).

UTC OFFSET is used to correct UTC time

to local time. The Oset should include any daylight savings.

CONTENTS CONTENTS

W3 POLE INSTALLATION MANUAL

7.1.2.3. Tide Mode Disabled

No tidal oset will be applied as a correction to seaﬂoor data in the DRX.

7.1.2.4. Tide Mode Manual (Oset)

The manually set tidal oset will be applied to the DRX.

7.1.2.5. Tide Mode RTK

RTK tide calculates the tide based on RTK corrected GPS information. It is in general signiﬁcantly more accurate than conventional tide predictions, as it is based on a realtime GPS height measurement.

It does require the RTK tide DRX license and an RTK corrected satellite compass via PPP or online RTK subscription.

7.1.2.7. Tide Mode Navionics (Manual) or Harmonic (Manual)

Tidal oset will be applied based on a manually selected tide station. The value will be applied to the DRX periodically.

UTC OFFSET should entered to apply

correct local time for the tide station.

NOTE: TIDE VALUE will give the tide value currently being applied to the DRX.

NOTE: If UTC OFFSET for local time is incorrect, this will result in incorrect tidal height being calculated.

7.1.3. Transducer Draft oset

Enter the depth of the transducer below the water line to correct the recorded depth of the soundings.

It is recommended that a mark is put on the W3P and ensure that the pole is lowered to the same position each time – if using on a dierent vessel it may be necessary to change this value.

7.1.2.6. Tide Mode Navionics (Auto)

or Harmonic (Auto)

Tidal oset will be selected based on local tide station using time and position data. The value will be applied to the DRX periodically.

UTC OFFSET should entered to apply

correct local time for the tide station.

1. From the HOME bar, under

CONFIGURATION select DRX PROCESSING.

2. Select TIDES.

3. At the bottom of page enter the

TRANSDUCER DRAFT – this is in meters,

and the number is a positive value.

In this example the measured draft is 75cm below the waterline:

7.1.5. Roll Oset

The W3P is factory calibrated for pitch and roll, and should not require correction, however if correction is required please use the PATCH TEST app included with the CDX SW to recalculate the roll correction.

7.2. DATAMANAGER OVERVIEW

Run DATAMANAGER on the WIRELESS SERVER and it will automatically connect to the DRX. The WIRELESS tab will be available if the Wireless license is installed.

1. Enter the nominated name

of the WIRELESS SERVER under VESSEL NAME. This will be used to identify the vessel for all wireless operations and will be the name used to identify the vessel by WIRELESS CLIENT vessels. The name selected here is ‘Tender’.

7.1.4. Sound Velocity

Sound velocity input is required to compensate for range inaccuracies caused by sound speed variations. These changes can occur both seasonally and with geographical areas especially in coastal areas where sound velocity will be impacted by both temperature and water salinity dierences.

Sound velocity in water is aected by both temperature and salinity and can either be measured directly or derived from temperature and salinity. This value should be adjusted regularly, depending on the operating environment, as it will have a direct impact on mapping accuracy.

The sound velocity control allows for both direct and derived values. Sound velocity compensation can be calculated using appropriate sound velocity, sound velocity proﬁle or temperature and salinity sensors. The more accurate the sound velocity the more accurate the mapping.

The visual eect of incorrect sound velocity is that a ﬂat seaﬂoor will either curve up or curve down. This representation will indicate soundings that are too shallow or too deep with the aect being accentuated toward the edges of the swath.

Sound velocity measurements can be manually reckoned using the sonar display. For further details, refer to the CDX Operators Manual.

2. WIRELESS VESSEL is typically not used for the WIRELESS

SERVER.

3. SCAN and connect to the DRX using the RECORD Tab. For further details, refer to the CDX Operators Manual.

NOTE: WIRELESS does not require pressing the RECORD button, however the

DRX should be connected on the RECORD TAB.

7.3. INITIAL SETUP MOTHERSHIP PC

CDX software requires a GPS and Heading input to display the mothership position relative to the Tender and the mapped chart.

Connection will typically be using a serial connection either directly or using a serial to USB adapter connected to the CDX PC.

Once the connection between the sensor and PC is established conﬁgure the port(s) under the WIRELESS SERVER section.

CDX supports 2 ports for own vessel data. CDX will automatically connect to the position and heading data from the serial ports and display Own Vessel Position.
