1 Mini4 Dual Sonar Board, P/N: 201630-xxx
The Pr zm M n 4 Dual Sonar Board prov des two ndependent f ber opt c l nks to remote the
Reson 8xxx and S mrad EM3002 s ngle/dual beam sonars. The Dual Sonar Board can be
jumper selected to support both s ngle-ended (s ngle coax) Reson sonars and d fferent al
(dual coax) S mrad sonars. Th s board only prov des for the sonar’s upl nk (subsea to
surface) data l nk, the downl nk (surface to subsea) control l nk must be handled through
another separate mult plexer. The control l nk for the Reson and S mrad sonars may requ re
spec f c electr cal protocols ( .e. RS-232, RS-485, RS-422 or other) and the sonar
manufacturer’s nterface manual should be consulted.
The Dual Sonar Board can be jumper conf gured to operate as e ther a subsea or surface
nterface board, so can be used as spare for e ther locat on. The opt cal modules used on the
board (pluggable small-form-factor (SFP)) are nherently b -d rect onal and care must be
taken to ensure the correct opt cal port (e ther TX or RX) s connected, depend ng on the
board conf gurat on and system locat on. Wh le the opt cal module’s rece ver w ll operate
on all of the 16 CWDM wavelengths (1270 to 1610nm), the module’s transm tter only em ts
at a s ngle wavelength so care must be taken to ensure the correct wavelength s used.
The Dual Sonar Board supports PMON II d agnost cs through the RS-485 d agnost cs cable.
D agnost cs w ll d splay the opt cal parameters from both of the SFP modules and w ll also
show the sonar act v ty (both nto and out of the board) on PMON II. Note: to acqu re
d agnost cs from the remote Dual Sonar Board, the board must be e ther stacked on top of a
M n 4 V deo Input or Output board or have ts 3-p n Phoen x d agnost cs cable connected to
a M n 4 V deo Input or Output board.
1.1 Mini4 Dual Sonar Board Revision History:
The M n 4 Dual Sonar Board has gone through the follow ng pr nted c rcu t board (PCB)
and Assembly rev s ons:
PCB Rev s on A/Assembly Rev s on A Or g nal des gn..
1.2 Mini4 Dual Sonar Board Dash (-) Number Definitions
The M n 4 Dual Sonar Board has a Dash Number appended to the part number. Th s
Dash Number dent f es the spec f c board conf gurat ons:
-001 or g nal conf gurat on.
1.3 Mini4 Dual Sonar Board Operation:
Each ndependent sonar l nk has two 50-ohm SMB coax al connectors. These connectors
w ll be act ve as nputs or outputs depend ng on the jumper sett ngs. For s ngle-ended
(s ngle coax) sonars, only the top SMB connector w ll be act ve (labeled IN/OUT A+ or
IN/OUT B+). For d fferent al (dual coax) sonars, both of the connectors w ll be used.
The sonar f ber l nks are dent f ed as l nk “A” or “B”.
