Page 1-1 L-3 ELAC Nautik 1 GENERAL 1.1 FUNDAMENTAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General remark to hydroacoustic equipment LAZ 5100 Even with a carefully selected transducer position and proper installation, the function of hydroacoustic equipment can be impaired by turbulence, acoustic noise or aerated water.
Page 1-2 L-3 ELAC Nautik Work on the system must only be carried out by a qualified technician or a specially trained person working under the supervision of such a technician. Electrical engineering regulations must be observed at all times. Observe all safety instructions and warnings for operating and maintenance attached to the system.
Page 2-1 L-3 ELAC Nautik 2 GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR ECHOSOUNDERS 2.1 TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION The performance of an echosounder is limited by the acoustical propagation of sound in water. Mainly this is influenced by the transducer mounting place , the operational frequency and the transducer efficiency .

Page 2-3 L-3 ELAC Nautik 2.1.2 CABLING, CABLE LOCATION, CABLE SPECIFICATION Critical point in cabling is the correct handling of the cable screens, especially for the transducer cable. The cable screens have to be grounded only at one point: at the echosounder.

Page 3-9 L-3 ELAC Nautik 3.4.1 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY The LAZ 5100 conforms with specifications laid down in DIN * EN 60945 (IEC945+A1) Navigation equipment for Shipping; all editions up to March 1997 and also to the newest version 4 with measurements up to 2 GHz.
Page 3-10 L-3 ELAC Nautik 3.5 INTERFACES The LAZ 5100 has the following interfaces: • RS 422 , NMEA, for Navigation data input (X4), Blanking input • RS 232 , Personal Computer connection for test.
Page 3-11 L-3 ELAC Nautik 3.5.1 DESCRIPTION OF NMEA INTERFACES All serial interfaces described in this chapter conform to EN 61162-1 ( 2001 ). (X4) A navigation system can be connected to this interface so that the ship's co-ordinates are displayed by the LAZ 5100.
Page 3-12 L-3 ELAC Nautik Example: (X8) Interface for START/ STOP - SLAVE indicator, potential free alarm relay contacts and Digital Slave Indicator. After each sounding the LAZ 5100 transmits depth information to the Digital Slave Display interface (15 to 60 times per minute, depending upon the measuring range selected) in NMEA, Version 2.
