Mounting ring
This circular transducer is designed to be mounted using clamping and mounting rings. The mounting ring is welded to the hole prepared for the transducer. Bolts through the clamping ring into the mounting ring will secure the transducer in place. A drawing is available for local manufacturing. The drawing (normally in AutoCad format) can be downloaded from our website.
A suitable mounting ring can be provided by Kongsberg Maritime.

Display
The display is not a standard part of the MS70 delivery. This is a commercial item that can be purchased locally.
Any commercial display can be used with the MS70 Multibeam scientific sonar, provided that the display meets the minimum requirements. The chosen display must be designed for maritime use, and it must meet the minimum performance specifications. You must also make sure that the chosen display supports the video formats provided by the Processor Unit.
We suggest that you purchase a large high-resolution display.
Kongsberg Maritime may provide a suitable display. Consult your local dealer or agent for more information.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
It is important to ensure continuous operation of the MS70 independent of varying quality of the vessel's mains supply. The use of uninterruptible power supplies is therefore required.
Uninterruptible power supply units are not included in the standard MS70 delivery. These items must be purchased locally.
Several commercial types are available. To choose the best power solution for your MS70 installation, consider environmental conditions, space available, the availability and duration of the batteries, and the
power requirements of the MS70.
Two uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are normally required:
|
• |
One UPS is required to power the bridge/control room equipment. |
|
• |
One UPS is required to power the sonar room equipment. |
The minimum specifications for the uninterruptible power supply are:
|
• |
Input voltage: The input voltage must fit vessel supply voltage |
|
• |
Output voltage: 230 VAC, 50 Hz |
|
• |
Output power:
|
– |
Processor Unit and display: 1000 W |
|
– |
Transceiver Unit: 500 W |
|
– |
Power Supply Unit: 800 W (Each) |
|
|
• |
Output form: The output AC voltage must be a sine wave |
Speed log
In order to operate correctly, the MS70 requires input from a speed log.
NoteWithout the input from a speed log, the MS70 will neither be able to present correct navigational information, nor compensate for vessel movements. This lack of compensation will prevent the MS70 from providing correct echo information.
In most cases a suitable sensor is already installed on the vessel. A global positioning system (GPS) with a fitting output
format can also be used.
The speed log interface requirements are:
|
• |
Serial line: Standard NMEA 0183 datagram formats |
|
• |
Ethernet (LAN) line: Standard NMEA 0183 datagram formats |
Course gyro
In order to operate correctly, the MS70 requires input from a course gyro. A course gyro is not a part of the MS70 delivery.
NoteWithout the input from a course gyro, the MS70 will not be able to present correct navigational information.
In most cases a suitable course gyro is already installed on the vessel. A global positioning system (GPS) with a fitting
output format can also be used.
The course gyro interface requirements are:
|
• |
Serial line: Standard NMEA 0183 datagram formats |
|
• |
Ethernet (LAN) line: Standard NMEA 0183 datagram formats |
Motion Reference Unit (MRU)
In order to operate correctly, the MS70 requires input from a motion reference unit (MRU).
NoteWithout the input from a motion reference sensor, the MS70 will not be able to compensate for the vessel movements. This lack of compensation will prevent the MS70 from providing correct echo information.
The MS70 has been designed to match the motion reference unit (MRU) sensors manufactured by Kongsberg Seatex. Descriptions of all available types are provided on their website.

For the motion sensor unit (MRU) to communicate with the MS70, it must support the following interface format:
|
• |
Simrad TSS1 Simrad Sounder/TSS1 is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg Maritime for heave, roll and pitch compensation. When you select this protocol, the number of sensor variables is fixed, and there is no token associated with it.

Kongsberg EM Attitude 1000 The EM Attitude 1000 is a proprietary datagram format created by Kongsberg Maritime for use with digital motion sensors. It holds roll, pitch, heave and heading information. The datagram contains a 10-bytes long message. In many new designs, this datagram format has been replaced with EM Attitude 3000 format.

Kongsberg Maritime may provide a suitable motion reference unit. Consult your local dealer or agent for more information.
Sound speed sensor
In order to operate correctly, the MS70 requires input from a sound speed sensor. Without this information, the MS70 will not be able to compensate for changes in the sound speed due to variations in the water temperature. This lack of compensation may prevent the MS70 from providing correct echo information.
The sound speed sensor is normally positioned close to the transducer. The sensor is normally a permanent installation, but many vessels have designed a method to lower and hoist the sensor. The sound speed sensor connects to the Processor Unit. In the MS70 user interface, the sound speed sensor if often referred to as a probe.
Suitable sound speed sensors are commercially available.
