System Ready.
NOTE: GPS set to at 4800 baud.
An improper boot will hang the system, and you may have to configure the TPU.
After a “time out” period, you will be put into the edit mode for the TPU. You will now
be able to edit the boot parameters. Enter c to change parameters.
Type the new parameter after the current parameter. If there are any other
parameters not noted below, leave them as they are. Note: “?” will give you a help
menu, and entering “any key” before the boot sequence will put you in the edit mode.
Turn the TPU off and then back on, and watch the boot sequence again.
The Klein startup.ini file is used to set boot parameters. The following is a typical .ini

Once you have a properly booted system, the Klein SonarPro software suite needs to
know the IP address of the TPU. Open the SonarPro application suite, and
press to connect to the towfish in real time. The TPU Connection dialog box
will open. Enter the TPU IP address into the box if different.
While you have the TPU Connection dialog box open, click the “Change the Sonar
Channel Configuration” button, and check that the settings are as follows.
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.
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.

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.

WARNING
AC Voltage and high levels of DC voltage are present inside the unit.
Only qualified individuals should access the unit to this level.
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.

CAUTION
VERY IMPORTANT
Do not connect or disconnect the towfish with the power turned on.
Do not run the towfish for more than fifteen minutes out of the water.
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,
pull out slightly on the tabs.

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.

With the electronics out of the pressure housing, you can identify some of the
components.
Feed-Thru Connections
Remove the towfish electronics and place the electronics in a position so that you can
reconnect the transducers and cable.
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.
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.
Check this point if you have 200 VDC but no towfish activity. Info: these
measurements were made with a 30 meter test cable and a 3dB attenuator at the
input to the Demultiplexer board.
TP2 shows the downlink data. Check here if the towfish is not transmitting.
TP7 shows the Trigger FSK information Check here if the towfish is not transmitting.
TP5 shows the Uplink data. Check here if the towfish is transmitting but there are
data problems.
Each Transmitter board has a TVG (Time Variable Gain) curve that controls the
signal gain.
TP6 shows the TVG for the 500 kHz transmitter board.
TP4 shows the TVG for the 100 kHz transmitter board.

Lay an oscilloscope probe, with tip on, against the + transducer lead on each board to
verify the transmit pulse.
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.
NOTICE
Excellent calibration results have been obtained by enabling the
compass calibration and towing the towfish in a series of three cir-
cles with the boat.
CAUTION
If trying this method, survey the area first, making sure you have
enough water to operate safely, since the transmitters are turned off.
Towfish Diagnostics
Enter the following command sequence into the Operator command area.
Compass Calibration Commands
(Follow the order below, and make sure to use “Send Command”)
Now turn towfish off and then on again, and check that the compass is working. This
completes the calibration.

Polishing
Air polish the tip of the ceramic connector with the pink polishing pad. Polish until all
epoxy has been removed. Use a figure 8 pattern. If there is epoxy on the side of the
barrel, remove it completely with this pad.
Place some slurry onto the rubber mat, glass, and purple diamond polishing pad.
Place the connector into the stainless steel polishing puck. Use a figure 8 polishing
stroke.

line should be added:
set TOWFISHECHO 0
APPENDIX C
The System 3000 is designed for easy operation with most popular magnetometers.
The Klein startup.ini file located in the klein folder is used to set boot parameters.
The following is a typical .ini file:
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:
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:
NOTICE
When calibrating the compass, the default uplink has to be
set to 0.
NOTICE
The startup.ini is a text file and may be edited in any word
processing program such as Wordpad.
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.
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.
