8300 MkII Sound Reception System
1 Product Description
The 8300 MkII Sound Reception System is designed to:
• Receive and detect foghorn sounds from other vessels and pinpoint the direction of the signal source.
• Detect signals with a fundamental frequency ranging from 70Hz to 820Hz.
• Have a frequency response of 70Hz to >2100Hz.
Detected horns are amplified and played through the speaker on the display unit and the direction of the signal source
appears on the display, with an accuracy of +/- 10 degrees. The 8300 MkII has adaptive background noise
canceling to filter out unwanted sounds though advanced digital signal processing. Multiple display units can share the same
microphone unit through an Ethernet connection.
Part Numbers:
• 4000019415 - P-8300 MkII Main Unit
• 4000019416 - P-8301 MkII Microphone Unit
• 4000019634 - Junction Box for Microphone Unit (optional)

User Manual
8300 MkII Sound Reception System
2 System Description
A Sound Reception System is an acoustical electronic navigational aid that enables an individual to hear sound signals from
other ships like foghorns when standing inside a totally enclosed bridge space, in order to perform the lookout function as
required according to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972.
The system works by listening and detecting the direction of a foghorn. The 8300 MkII system is always listening for sounds
on the outside of the ship and will only play back and display sounds once a horn has been detected. The vessel's own horn
can be suppressed by closing a closing contact on the 8300 MkII system, which will disable detection for the duration it is held
closed.
