(Version 2.8)

4.1 BASIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS.


We suggest that you get the fastest PC system available to you at the time of
purchase; however, as a minimum it should include the following:
• 400 MHz pentium II
• 512 megabytes of RAM
• 10 Gigabyte hard drive - the bigger the better
• 8 megabyte video board - the faster the better
• Lan Card, Fast Ethernet (100 Base/T), 3Com 3C905 works well
• Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 Professional
• Windows NT disk defragmenter
• Power backup module.
When running the PC system it is important to make sure that you leave at least 500
megabytes of free disk space for temporary system disk swap files.
You will need to connect the Klein 3000 Transceiver and Processing Unit (TPU) to
the Host PC computer. A Fast Ethernet Hub, 3Com, 8 port, product number
3C16722, works well.
Before turning the TPU on make sure your computer is configured correctly and the
computer is booted up and running.

WARNING
Do not use a cross-over cable.

4.2 BASIC SYSTEM SETUP.


Refer to the following diagram for system set up information. It is important that you
check the operating voltage of the ship. Inspect and reset the input voltage on the
TPU and Host PC computer before connecting to shipboard power.

4.9 TOW CABLE CONSIDERATIONS.


Klein recommends that tow cables have the following characteristics.
LIGHTWEIGHT TOW CABLE

Type: Polyurethane jacketed, coaxial Kevlar


reinforced
Conductors: Coaxial copper
Diameter (OD): 1.03 cm (0.405 in)
Breaking Strength: 2270 kg (5000 lb)
Working Load: 454 kg (1000 lb)
Operational Length: 150 m maximum
Voltage Rating: 600 VDC
Termination: Stainless steel shackle at towfish end

L-3 Klein Associates, Inc. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 4-23


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

ARMORED TOW CABLE

Type: Double layer, counter helical, galvanized


improved plow steel (GIPS)
Stainless steel available as option
Conductors: Coaxial copper
Diameter (OD): 10.2 mm (0.40 in)
Breaking Strength: 4990 kg (11,000 lb)
Working Load: 1247 kg (2,750 lb)
Operational Length: 150 m maximum
Voltage Rating: 1200 VDC
Termination: Stainless steel shackle at towfish end

Other important characteristics to consider are that electrically the cable must be 50
ohms, and the whole cable assembly, deck cable, slip ring, winch, cable, and connec-
tors must be coax all the way from the TPU to the towfish.

4-24 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE L-3 Klein Associates, Inc.


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.10 MEASURING CABLE INSERTION LOSS.


To get an accurate assessment of your tow cable assembly, we suggest you use a
Hewlett Packard 4194A Impedance / Gain -Phase Analyzer (or equivalent).
A sample plot is below.

If you do not have access to a Hewlett Packard 4194A Impedance / Gain -Phase
Analyzer, you can get a close reading by using a function generator, 50 ohm
terminator and an oscilloscope.

L-3 Klein Associates, Inc. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 4-25


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.11 FUNCTION GENERATOR AND A SCOPE.

50 ohm terminator

Function
Cable
Generator
Assembly Scope

With the function generator and the scope connected to the cable, monitor input on
the scope and input a 1 volt peak (2 volt peak to peak) sine wave of the specific
frequency of interest. Measure the peak output at the other end of the cable on the
scope through the 50 ohm termination.

Use the formula : dB = 20 log (V out / V in)


Info: If you use 1 volt peak for V in, V in = 1
Example: At 750 kHz you get a reading of 160 mV
.16 v
log .16
x 20
-15.9 dB loss

4-26 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE L-3 Klein Associates, Inc.


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.12 SPARE TOW CABLE.


With the nature of high speed towing, cable problems can occur. We suggest that
you have on hand a lightweight Kevlar reinforced 150 meter (minimum length) tow
cable for troubleshooting purposes.
This will allow you to bypass your primary tow cable assembly and speed fault
isolation.

4.13 TRANSCEIVER AND PROCESSING UNIT.

L-3 Klein Associates, Inc. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 4-27


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.14 INPUT POWER.


Check that the proper AC input voltage setting, 120VAC or 240VAC, has been
selected on the back of the TPU. The power is connected to the back of the unit on
the left side, when viewed from the back.
The AC input fuses (both high and low sides) are located above the AC power input.
To check or replace an AC fuse, lift the tab and pull out the fuse insert. A spare fuse
should also be located there.
The fuse will be a 2 Amp 250 Volt 5x20mm slo-blo, Part Number #13000045.

4.15 TOWFISH FUSE.


This fuse is on the 200 VDC line to the towfish. Access to this fuse is located on the
back of the TPU just below the towfish connector.
The towfish fuse is a 630ma 250 volt 5x20mm slo-blo, Part Number #13000043.

The 200 volts supplies power to the towfish and is fused onto the back of the TPU.
200 volts AC enters the power supply board from the transformer at JP1 HV.
200 volts DC is generated and can be measured between the base of the fuse holder
and the BNC cable.
L.E.D. D9 lights if there is excessive current draw (cable short).

Low Voltage Supply


+5 volts, +12 volts, and -12 volts are generated from a separate power supply located
center right. This is also used to supply the VME chassis. The +5 volts can be
measured on the power supply across the red and black wires. 200VAC is the input
power at JP1. The +12 volts and -12 volts can be measured at connector JP4.

With the towfish and LAN cables removed from the TPU, turn the power on. Listen for
the cooling fan to come on, and meter the towfish connector for 200 VDC. This will
test the basic TPU.
With the towfish cable removed and the LAN cable connected through the hub to the
computer (assuming that the system has been working and the LAN system is
configured correctly), you will see the computer port on the hub lit.
Turn the TPU on. The TPU port on the hub will light. This will add the LAN side to the
TPU test.
With the towfish, tow cable, and LAN cable connected through the hub to the
computer, you will see the computer port on the hub lit (assuming that the system has
been working and the LAN system is configured correctly).
Turn the TPU on. The TPU port on the hub will light.
There will then be light activity on the CPU board as the system looks for the boot
program on the host computer and then initializes. Carrier Loss and Lock Loss
L.E.D.’s will be on until the TPU finishes its boot cycle with the host computer (about
45 seconds). Once the boot sequence is complete, the L.E.D.’s will go out.

The boot process sequence may be monitored with an external terminal or with
Windows default terminal Hyperterminal. See the on page 2 of this chapter.
If the Carrier Loss and Lock lights do not go off on the first try, turn the TPU off and
back on. If the Carrier Loss and Lock Lights are still on, check for a towfish fuse
failure or cable assembly problems; for example: mis-wire, open, using too long a
cable, using wrong type of cable, or a failure in the towfish. Re-check to see if you
have a proper system boot sequence.

TPU Cooling
For proper unit cooling, any unused board slots should be closed with a blank panel.

The TPU has an air filter located on the right side of the front panel. This should be
checked at regular intervals. Once a month should be OK. If the filter is dirty, it can be
removed and washed in water or blown out with compressed air. To remove the filter,

4.21 TESTING THE TOWFISH.


Check the telemetry link to the towfish.
Turn the TPU on and check the Carrier Loss and Lock Loss lights. The lights should
stay an for about 45 seconds as the system runs though the boot process, then they
should go off and the towfish should start to ping. If the lights are on or flickering,
there is a problem. Again a telemetry link problem could be one or more of the
following: Towfish fuse failure or cable assembly problems; mis-wire, open, cable
length too long, wrong type of cable, or a failure in the towfish.
Check the transmitters before deployment.
There are two different frequency transmitters, a 100 kHz and a 500 kHz.
To check that the transmitters are working, turn the system on and wait for the
system to boot up. Start SonarPro and set a range of 100 meters. You can place an
oscilloscope probe with the scope tip along the transducer to see the transmit wave
form as in the following image.

L-3 Klein Associates, Inc. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 4-37


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The transmitters fire in a staggered mode with about a 500 usec delay. The first pulse
will be the 500kHz transmitter followed by a second 100kHz. If there is a problem with
a transmitter, it will show up as a very weak transmit wave form or none at all.

4.23 TOWFISH ELECTRONICS BOTTLE.


To remove the electronics from the towfish you must first remove the towfish nose
cone. This is done by unscrewing the socket head cap screw in the center with a
8mm hex key or driver. Once you have the nose cone off you will find the electronics
extraction handle. Unplug all cables at the feed-thru. Inspect this area for dirt and
debris, flush clean before opening. On the top and bottom of the handle is a 6mm hex
set screw; screw it into the handle to release the feed-thru. Using the handle, firmly
pull; the electronics module may pop out quickly. Avoid over stressing the transducer
leads. Carefully slide the electronics out of the housing, while keeping the electronics
assembly level.
To install the electronics into the pressure housing, inspect and clean the o-ring and
the corresponding surface in the pressure housing. If needed apply a light coat of
silicon grease to the o-ring and mating surface. Slide the electronics gently and
carefully into the pressure bottle; position the handle UP label to the top. Once seated
properly, screw out the 6mm set screws in the top and bottom of the handle to lock
the feed-thru in the pressure housing.

Checking the Multiplexer Board


The Multiplexer board performs the following functions:

1 Receives the 200 volts and telemetry from the surface;


separates the telemetry from the 200 volts DC.
2 Routes the 200 volts DC to the power supply, and then receives
the converted plus 5 volts DC, plus 15 volts DC, and minus 15
volts DC.
3 Routes the 200 volts DC to the Transmitter boards.
4 Generates plus and minus 5 volts DC.
5 Generates the Time Variable Gain (TVG) curves for the
received sonar signals from the transducers.
6 Multiplexes all the data channels and transmits the telemetry
back to the surface.
7 Provides fiber optic interface.

Checking 200 VDC

CAUTION
High Voltage - Do Not Short!

The towfish requires 200 volts DC from the TPU to operate. Using a volt meter check
for 200 vdc at the towfish connector of the TPU. Meter from the center pin to the side
of the connector. If you do not have 200 vdc here, check the towfish fuse on the TPU.
Next verify that the 200 VDC is reaching the towfish end of the tow cable. Meter
across pins 1 and 2 of the tow cable/towfish connector.
The 200 VDC enters the towfish and passes though the
feed-thru connector; it then enters the Multiplexer board on a
gold SMA connector. To check, unplug the connector and
meter from the center to the outside edge.
At the Multiplexer board the 200 VDC goes through L3, L4,
and L5 and exits the board at JP9. The 200 volts supplies
power to the low voltage power supply which then supplies
+5, +15, and -15 volts back to the Multiplexer board.

4-44 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE L-3 Klein Associates, Inc.


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The 200 VDC on the Multiplexer board also supplies 200VDC power to the
Transceiver boards. If the 200 volts is being pulled down on the Multiplexer board,
remove the two Transceiver boards and meter again.
The Data is coupled with the 200 VDC.

the Transceiver boards with a meter.

4-52 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE L-3 Klein Associates, Inc.


SYSTEM 3000 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Meter across each of the FET’s as in the previous photo. The reading should be
about 2.4 Meg ohms. Reverse your test leads and re-measure. The reading will now
be about 3.7 Meg ohms. Readings will vary slightly, but if there is a large reduction in
resistance, the FET may be questionable.
4.29 CHECKING THE RECEIVER SECTION.
If your sonar image seems to be having problems on one side, this is an indication
that you may have a receiver problem. Try swapping to a spare Transceiver board to
see if the problem follows the board. Alternately you can swap the transducers at the
feed-thru to see if the problem stays the same (still most likely a board problem), or if
it changes sides, it could possibly be a transducer problem.
4.30 CHECKING THE SENSORS.

Sensor readings can be read out directly on the display as seen in the above picture.
Move the towfish in pitch, roll and heading, and check to see if the readings change.
If you have no sensor readings check that the cable is properly plugged into the
Multiplexer board at JP3. Also check that the cable is properly connected at the
compass board.

set SONARTYPE 3000


set RANGE 2
set RESPDIV 15
set RESPFREQ 7
set DESPECKLESWITCH 0
set SPEEDFILTERSWITCH 1
set TVGPAGE 7
set SPEEDSOUND 150000
set BAUDRATE 4800
set STANDBYMODE 0
set DIAGLEVEL 1

When Adding a magnetometer into the system, the startup.ini file must be modified
by adding the line set DEFAULTUPLINK 1. The new startup.ini file will look like this:

set SONARTYPE 3000


set RANGE 2
set RESPDIV 15
set RESPFREQ 7
set DESPECKLESWITCH 0
set SPEEDFILTERSWITCH 1
set TVGPAGE 7
set SPEEDSOUND 150000
set BAUDRATE 4800
set STANDBYMODE 0
set DEFAULTUPLINK 1
set TOWFISHECHO 0
set DIAGLEVEL 1

If you switch back to not using a magnetometer, you can simply set the DEFAULTU-
PLINK to 0. The startup.ini file will now look like this:

set SONARTYPE 3000


set RANGE 2
set RESPDIV 15
set RESPFREQ 7
set DESPECKLESWITCH 0
set SPEEDFILTERSWITCH 1
set TVGPAGE 7
set SPEEDSOUND 150000
set BAUDRATE 4800
set STANDBYMODE 0
set DEFAULTUPLINK 0
set TOWFISHECHO 0
set DIAGLEVEL 1

Don’t forget to save the changed startup.ini file.

There are a few ways to connect to the magnetometer for data transfer.

Method 1
Connect the magnetometer PC into Com 4 on the TPU using a straight (non null
modem) RS232 cable.
If using Hyperterminal make sure it is in the connect state.
Configure your terminal or software for 9600-8-N-1, and set none for flow control.
Power up the sonar system and wait for the system to boot. Once the towfish is active
open SonarPro and start the sonar. Magnetometer data will be transmitted out of
Com 4.
To send commands down to the magnetometer, click on the Sonar Interface tab in
SonarPro, select the towfish diagnostic tab, and enter your command in the
"Operator Command" string window. The following format is uppercase:
$PKLA,FC$Axxxx where xxxx is the magnetometer command.
Example: $PKLA,FC$AF00
Commands can be up to 24 characters in length.

Click Send Command button.

Alternate Method 2
Connect a PC with a null modem cable to Com 3 on the TPU.
Configure your terminal or software for 9600-8-N-1 and set none for flow control.
Power up the sonar system and wait for the system to boot. Once the towfish is
active, open SonarPro or open the terminal program or magnetometer software.
Communication with the magnetometer should be established. If you are using
SonarPro and want to send a command to the magnetometer, it is advised that you
place SonarPro in Standby while the commands are sent down to the magnetometer.

Alternate Method 3
Connect the magnetometer PC into Com 4 on the TPU using a straight (non null
modem) RS232 cable.
Configure your terminal or software for 9600-8-N-1, and set flow control to none.
Power up the sonar system and wait for the system to boot. Once the towfish is active
open SonarPro and start the sonar. Magnetometer data will be transmitted out of
Com 4.

Connect a PC with a null modem cable to Com 2 on the TPU.


Configure your terminal or software for the same baud rate that the startup.ini file is
set for (in most cases it will be set to 4800-8-N-1), and set flow control to none.
To send commands down to the magnetometer, use the following format in
uppercase:
$PKLA,FC$Axxxx where xxxx is the magnetometer command.
Example: $PKLA,FC$AF00.

Echoing Commands Out of Com 3.


To echo the sent commands out of Com 3, set the computer terminal program to
1200 baud.
Usa a null modem cable.
Change the following line in the startup.ini file to read:
set TOWFISHECHO 1.
