Context
In order to obtain precision data that are both detailed and correct, it is necessary to align the transducer, and measure its location and offset in relation to the vessel’s coordinate system. Modest accuracy requirements apply when your MS70 system is only used to investigate objects in the water column.
Determining the relative positions and orientations of the sensors and the transducer with high accuracy is important. This requires professional land surveying done by qualified and trained surveyors using proven survey equipment and methods
. We recommend that you use third party consultants with well proven experience with vessel dimensional control. Sufficient time and satisfactory work conditions must be given to the survey work. The installation engineers from Kongsberg Maritime are neither equipped nor trained to do dimensional surveying.
Further requirements
Do a dimensional survey to determine the necessary position and angle measurements of the transducer and the relevant sensors. The information provided by the dimensional survey is entered into the MS70 software as installation parameters.
