The transceiver controls the transmission and reception made by the transmitters and receiver channels. 8 identical transceiver boards are used. These transceiver boards provide 256 individual transmit- and receiver channels. The Transceiver Unit also holds an Ethernet switch and a large capacitor bank. An internal power supply is provided to supply the required DC voltages to the Transceiver Unit.
NoteTo extend the lifetime of the Transceiver Unit, you must keep the sonar room dry and clean, and with sufficient ventilation.
The Transceiver Unit can be fitted with a commercial heat exchanger. The purpose of the heat exchanger is to provide a stable, clean and temperature controlled environment for the electronic
circuitry inside the Transceiver Unit. The heat exchanger also inhibits dust and dirt particles from entering the transceiver. The heat exchanger is powered from 230 VAC using a separate outlet.
