Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation INSTALLATION General information This chapter describes a typical ship installation of the Seapath system.

The standard system is supplied with the following parts:. The Processing Unit. The Processing Unit connection box with 1.5-metre cable. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation In addition to the above delivered parts, the following is needed:. GPS antenna cables and the cable between the Processing Unit and the MRU junction box.

A 19-inch rack for mounting of the Processing Unit. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation Location of the system parts The following sections contain hints regarding mounting of the various system parts: 3.3.1 The GPS antennas For the GPS antennas, consider the following:. The space above the antennas has to be free of obstructions of any kind. The antenna should be protected from direct illumination of radar beams and other transmitting antennas such as Inmarsat antennas.

Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation. The antenna baseline length is recommended in range 2.5 to 4.0 meters, but 1 to 5 meters can be used. Maximum heading accuracy is achieved at 4.0 meters baseline. The maximum length for each of the antenna coaxial cables is 100 metres for the cable type normally delivered with the system (1/2'. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3.3.3 The Processing Unit For location of the Processing Unit, consider the following:.

The unit is designed for indoor installation and should not be exposed to heavy vibrations, transformers or similar. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation The installation procedure described below assumes that the Antenna Bracket delivered by Seatex is used and that a holder for this Antenna Bracket is prepared in accordance with the antenna holder drawing in chapter 4. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3. Connect the antenna cables to both GPS antennas. The connection between the antenna and the antenna cable should be sealed against water penetration, preferably by using waterproof self-vulcanising tape.

The GPS antenna cables are then strapped inside the Antenna Bracket as shown in Figure 4. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev.

13 Installation or transversal bulkheads of the ship with the opening pointing downward, as shown in Figure 5. This will ensure easy and accurate orientation of the MRU according to the longitudinal axis. Reserve sufficient space below the bracket to allow insertion of the MRU from below. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 7. Insert the MRU into the bracket.

In order to achieve the orientation as shown in Figure 5, the MRU must be rotated in the bracket. Apply Loctite 242 glue or equivalent on the four MRU screws (3).

Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation Figure 8 Junction box mounting 10. Mount the Processing Unit within a standard 19-inch rack in a preferred location. The Processing Unit has to be fastened both in front and rear of the rack. Minimum 10 cm free space is needed behind the module for connecting cables.

Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3.4.2 Electrical installation The electrical installation consists of:. Connecting two cables between the GPS antennas and the Processing Unit. Connecting a cable between the MRU junction box and the Processing Unit by using a direct cable or with the connection box in between. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3.4.2.1 MRU to Processing Unit cable wiring The MRU can be connected to the Processing Unit in the following three ways:. A cable with the MRU connector in one end and a DB-15 male connector for the Processing Unit in the other end.

Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation It is important to insert a wire between pin 24 (LGND) and pin 27 (Shutoff) on Note the user side (x1) in the MRU junction box in order to establish RS-422 communication between the MRU and the Processing Unit. Otherwise it will be no communication between these two components. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation The connectors on the Processing Unit for the serial lines are of DB-9 male type. Pin layout: RS-232 RS-422 Pin no. Signal Pin no.

Signal Optional The comports available on AUX - Serial connector may be used if more serial input or output lines than those described above (Com 5 to 10) are required. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation In order to galvanically isolate these lines and maybe convert them to RS-422, the Kongsberg Seatex product HMS 100 Converter Box (part no. M410-30) can be used. 3.4.2.3 Ethernet connection The Seapath has the possibility to output data on up to eight individually configurable network ports. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation Synchronised with this signal it is possible to output 1PPS time tag messages from Seapath.

These messages are the 1PPS NMEA ZDA (format no. 13) or the Trimble compatible message (format no. For description of the format for these messages see 'Appendix B - Output Protocols From Seapath'. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3.4.2.6 Installation procedure CAUTION Attach the antenna cables to the GPS antennas on the Bracket before attaching the antenna cables to the Processing Unit. If the antenna cables are attached to the Processing Unit, do not attach the antenna cables to the GPS antennas with the Processing Unit powered on. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev.

Entering lever arm vectors and mounting angles for the MRU and the GPS antennas.

Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation Figure 11 The offset vectors between the different components 3.4.3.2 Input data The Processing Unit has up to five ports for input of data. The following data can be input to the system:. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3.4.3.3 Serial data output Data can be output on up to eight individually configurable serial lines (com5 to com20).

For a more detailed description of the different output formats available, see 'Appendix B - Output Protocols From Seapath'. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3.4.3.4 Setup procedure The following procedure is used to configure the Processing Unit on-line: 1. Install the SCC software on an external PC if not already done.

See 'Appendix D - Seapath configuration software, SCC' on how to install the software. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation possible, one reading from both systems should be done at least every 30 seconds for a minimum of two full hours. The long calibration time is necessary in order to cancel out errors in the Seapath measurements caused by multipath effects, which may be particularly pronounced in the static conditions of a harbour area. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 3. In the GPS Antenna Configuration window, input the Baseline Length 2.5 metres if the standard Antenna Bracket is used, otherwise this length has to be measured manually with 1 cm accuracy and this value entered.

For the Heading Offset input an approximate value or input zero if you are uncertain. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation 5.

In step 2 input 120 minutes (two hours) as the calibration period and the logging interval as 10 seconds. Log the calibration data to the file 'Seapath.cal' on a preferred folder on the PC. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev.

13 Installation Figure 15 Page 3 of GPS Antenna Configuration 9. Inspect the logged calibration data (in the file 'Seapath.cal' ) for any wild points by selecting the command Show Graph. Correct the wild points found or delete the whole line(s) and perform a recalculation of the calibration data.

Click Finish to accept the result and exit the antenna calibration wizard. 3.4.4.3 Calibration of MRU axis The MRU axes must be calibrated to the vessel axes after the mechanical installation. To achieve the specified roll and pitch accuracy, the offset angles between the MRU axes and the vessel axes have to be calculated to an accuracy better than 0.5 degrees. Seatex Seapath 200 Installation Manual, rev. 13 Installation The reference for roll and pitch calibration must be carefully selected depending on the intended application.

It may be the hull, or a sensor like a multibeam echo sounder or a USBL acoustic system.
