2. OVERVIEW
2.1 General
The EML 500 series of electromagnetic logs successfully meets the performance requirements
prescribed by IMO resolution A478 (XII), and has been approved by the Ministry of Land,Infrastructure
and Transport Japan (approval no.:3795).
The EML500 features:
(1) Versatile external interfaces

· Pulse output (photocoupler / contact)
· Digital output (NMEA0183)
· Analog speed output (0V DC to 5V DC)
· Alarm contact and interface with the GPS
(2) High reliability

The use of highly integrated circuits, such as microprocessors, provides excellent reliability due to
a reduction in parts and the elimination of moving parts.
(3) Master indicator for displaying the speed and distance
(4) Variety of sensors available to meet various installation requirements.

A dual-axis sensor can measure not only the longitudinal speed, but also the transverse speed.
(5) Built-in self-diagnostic function
2.2 Principle
The principle of electromagnetic logs is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
An electromotive force is induced in a conductor whenever there is relative motion between the
conductor and magnetic field.
The directions of the magnetic field, motion and induced emf are at right angles or perpendicular to
each other.
If the magnetic
motion field”Principle”).
(see Figure is fixed, the magnitude of the induced emf is proportional to the speed of the
Therefore, either the conductor or magnetic field must move to induce an electromotive force.
In the case of electromagnetic logs, the magnetic field moves along with the ship while the seawa-
ter (the conductor) remains stationary.
There is a coil in the sensor at the top of the measurement rod, and this coil is energized to establish
a magnetic field around the sensor. As the ship moves, an emf is induced which is then detected
by a pair of electrodes at the tip of the sensor (see Figure “Flattened Sensor Structure”).

2.4 Handling Precautions

(1) If there are contaminants or microorganisms adhering to bottom of the ship or the tip of the
measurement rod (electrodes), the indicated speed may be lower than the actual speed. The
bottom of the ship should always be kept clean. For cleaning and inspection, refer to Section
5.2 in Chapter 5.
(2) When closing the seawater valve, rst pull up the measurement rod as far as the attached
chain allows.
(3) If the ship is at anchor, pull the measurement rod all the way up and close the seawater
valve.
(4) If the ship will remain in port for a log time, remove the chain and keep the measurement rod
on board.
(5) The “FWD” marking on the measurement rod must face in the direction of the bow.
Otherwise, the detected speeds will be lower than the actual ones.
(6) The tip of the measurement rod is fragile. Handle it very carefully.
(7) Even when the ship is at anchor, a slight speed may be indicated if the water is owing past.

3.3 Components and Their Functions

3.3.1 Sensor Unit
A variety of sensor units are available depending on the installation conditions, but all of them con-
sist of the following components:
(1) Sensor (with built-in amplier)

Detects the ship’s speed in the water, and transmits the data to the master unit. If an emf is induced
by the relative motion between the water ow (the ship’s speed in the water) and the magnetic eld
established by the coil, a voltage proportional to the ship’s speed is detected at the electrodes lo-
cated at the tip of the sensor. This voltage is then fed to the built-in amplier, converted into a current
signal (0 mA to 20 mA) proportional to the speed, and nally output.
(2) seawater valve

Holds the sensor and prevents seawater from spurting out when the sensor is removed.
(3) Mounting plate: LV902 and LV910 (for sensors 48 mm in dia.)

This is welded onto the bottom of the ship’s hull to allow the seawater valve to be installed. The
mounting plate is ordered from the shipbuilder as standard. For sensors installed through the dou-
ble-bottom hull of a ship, the mounting plate for the seawater valve ange is also included.
(4) Protection tube : LV905

This is watertight tubing for sensors which are installed through the double-bottom hull of a ship.
the tubing is made of brass (BS) or stainless steel (SUS304) depending on the class of the ship.
Brass (BS) ..... NK, LR, DNV
Stainless steel (SUS304) .....ABS
(5) Seawater valve ange : LV904

This is used for supporting the bottom of the protection tube for sensors which are installed through
the double bottom hull of a ship. The ange has a structure which allows the protection tube to slide
in consideration of variations in the distance between the two bottom plates. The seawater valve
ange is made of bronze casting (BC3).
(6) Zinc plate: LV901

Protects the sensor unit from corrosion. The zinc plate is ordered from the shipbuilder as stand-
ard.

 To reset the trip distance, rst press the DISPL key. This indicates the trip distance on the
top line of the display and “RESET” on the bottom line of the display . Next, press the F 1
key to reset the trip distance.
 To reset the total distance, press the CLEAR , CLEAR , EN T to the order during the indication
“Speed, Total distance traveled”.
 If the DISPL key is pressed again in a dual -axis sensor system, the transverse speed ap-
pears on the bottom line of the display. If the DISPL key is pressed once more, the resultant
speed and direction appear on the display. That is, the data items on the display change in the
following order each time the DISPL key is pressed : speed and distance → trip distance →
transverse speed → resultant speed and direction → return to speed and distance.
4.1.3 Stopping
 Turn off the electromagnetic-log switch on the power distribution board. it does not matter if
the power supply switch on the master unit is left on.
NOTE
If this EML500 instrument will not be used for at least three months, pull up the sensor and close
the seawater valve.

6.4 Adjustments
(1) Zero Adjustment (Maintenance Mode)
A zero adjustment corrects a zero-point drift which may occur in a circuit other than the one in the
sensor. To make a zero adjustment, there mast be no water owing in the direction to be detected.
Therefore, make the adjustment :
� with the sensor placed in a bucket of water, or
� with the ship at anchor and no water owing around the sensor.
Furthermore,
� Lightly polish the electrodes in the sensor with the water-resistant sandpaper (at last #600) damp-
ened in water.
� Place the sensor in a bucket of water. Hold the sensor so that its electrodes are in the middle of
the bucket: do not let the electrodes come into contact with the bottom of the bucket.
The adjustment procedure is shown in the gure below.

(3) Span Adjustment (Maintenance Mode)

If an error in the speed is proportional to the actual speed, it can be adjusted by multiplying the

a discrepancy between the displayed speed and actual speed before a milepost measurement is
made.
NOTE
Span-adjustment data have an effect on milepost data.
Therefore, do not change the value after a milepost measurement.
A span adjustment is also necessary if the speed error has become larger due to contaminants
adhering to the bottom of the ship after many years of service.

6.5 Milepost Measurement (Maintenance Mode)

In actual navigation, the ow of water detected by the sensor in the measurement rod depends on
the installation position of the sensor, type of ship, length of the protruding sensor, draft, and the
ship's speed. Therefore, to obtain more accurate data, it is necessary to compare the indicated
speed with the actual one, and correct any discrepancy between them.
The actual speed can be measured when the ship is sailing on calm water over a certain distance.
In this case, however, the tide and wind can affect the speed . To eliminate these factors, the ship
makes a round trip between mileposts. For accurate measurement, preliminary sailing is also nec-
essary to minimize any variations in the speed, and the ship must take the correct course between
mileposts.
In milepost calibration, the ship makes a round trip (2 one-way trips ) or a round trip plus another
on-way trip (3 one-way trips) to obtain a set of data which serves as the unit of measurement. The
mean values of the actual speed and log speed are calculated based on these milepost measure-
ment data.

In this measurement, the actual speed in automatically calculated based on the travel time and the
distance between mileposts which has been set in advance. To obtain the log speed, the speed
detected by the sensor is automatically averaged. Milepost measurement is usually performed in
the automatic mode. The operation ow is shown in the gures on the following pages.

6.5.2 Manual milepost Measurement

In the manual milepost mode, no data can be set or entered; only the log speed is displayed without
intermediate error compensation. This mode is used to backup automatic milepost measurement.
If the D-GPS or another speed indicator is available during milepost measurement, the speed ob-
tained by the GPS or the indicator can be used as the real speed, instead of the real speed calcu-
lated based on the distance and time.
Record the log speed displayed in this mode, and also record a reading of the GPS (or another
speed indicator) as the real speed at the same time. Repeat this operation to obtain enough data.
After milepost measurement has been completed, enter these data to improve the milepost meas-
urement ( for data entry, refer to Subsection 6.5.3, "Display / Alteration / Deletion of Milepost Data").
Refer to Subsection 6.5.1 for details on the operation.
6.5.3 Display / Alteration

(Maintenance Mode) / Deletion of Milepo st Data
Milepost data can be displayed, altered, added, or deleted as follows:

6.9 Maintenance Functions

6.9.1 Intermediate Error Compensation Factor (Maintenance Mode)
Two linearizer tables are available for intermediate error compensation, and either can be selected
in this mode. Therefore, compensation based on the newest linearizer table of compensation based
on the previous linearizer table can be done selectively if the compensation coefcient is changed
alternately each time milepost measurement is done.
The selective use of these linearizer tables is also useful for ships whose speeds differ when they
are fully loaded.
