Context
Multiple hydroacoustic systems operating simultaneously on the same vessel may cause interference. In order to minimize this interference the K-Sync Synchronization system can be used.
The interface between the K-Sync and the MS70 is made using a cable from the IO Module in the Synchronization Unit to a serial line connector on the MS70 Processor Unit. Only the "handshake" signals (CTS (Clear To Send) and RTS (Request To Send)) are used.
NoteThe K-Sync is an optional delivery for the MS70.
The interface between the two systems is made by means of a cable from the IO Module in the Synchronization Unit to a serial
line connector on the MS70 Processor Unit.

Connectors 1 through 6 as indicated by the arrows. Note that each of the two connector elements can be pulled out of the IO Module for easy access.

Each IO Module in the K-Sync Synchronizing Unit provides six connectors and a configuration board for physical adjustments
of the communication parameters.
Further requirements
Once the connection has been made and verified, you must set up the physical interface parameters on the IO Module’s configuration
board. You must also define the interface and the relevant transmission sequence in the K-Sync program. Finally, you must define the communication port in the MS70 user interface, and set the MS70 to operate in Slave mode.
