SELECTING MOUNTING LOCATION OF TRANSDUCER
The performance of the DS-50 is directly related to the mounting location of the transducer.
Especially air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the ship and interference from other
acoustic equipment seriously degrade performance. The mounting location should, therefore, be
determined carefully, keeping the following factors in mind,
1. Air Bubbles
Since the transducer of the DS-50 is installed flush with the ship's hull bottom, it is susceptible
to air bubbles which flow below the hull bottom. Select a location where air bubbles created at
ship's bow do not go down to the mounting location, When the ship has a bulbous bow, install
the transducer in it or just behind it. However, when the ship makes a voyage in high latitude
area breaking through ice fiows, avoid the location where broken ice flows may strike the
location,
‘The DS-50 is used not only for ocean going navigation but also for docking to loading/unloading
facilities, at which the bow and side thrusters are used. The transducer should be separated at
least 4 or 5 meters from them,
Note: In extremely shallow harbors with soft bottom, whirls created by ship's movement cause
air bubbles and also bottom materials to be stirred, which may make the use of DS-50
impossible.
2. Cavitations
Dents on ship's bottom create whirls behind them and may sometimes cause cavitation that
adversely affects the performance of the transducer, especially when the ship moves at a high
speed. The welded portion between the transducer casing and the ship's hull should therefore
be finished as smooth as possible.
3. Variation of Draft Level
When the ship returns unloaded, the draft level goes low and air bubbles are apt to be pushed
down to the transducer location. This occurs especially when the water level is lower than the
centerline of the bulbous bow. It is recommended to load proper amount of ballast not only for
the DS-50 but also for safety of navigation.
4, Interference of Other Ultrasonic Equipment
If integer multiple of the transmission frequency of other ultrasonic equipment within
440+-8kH2z, interference may occur. Select a location at least 1m away from the transducer of
the ultrasonic equipment and change, if possible, the direction of its transmission beam so that
the beam may not cross the beam of DS-50.
5. Installation in Dangerous Place
Do not install the transducer In the oil tank, oll room, LPG gas room and freezing room,
6. Maintenance
‘The transducer is detachable/replaceable in the water from outside the ship.FURUNO
CABLING GUIDELINE
1. Cable between hull unit (transducer) and transceiver
This cable carries very weak signals whose amplitudes are less than 0.1yV, which means they
are easily interfered by noise. For the reason, dedicate conduit exclusively for this cable.
Cable specifications
Outer diameter: 18.70.5mm
Mass: 480 (kg/km)
Outer sheath: Poly-chloroprene rubber
Armor: None
2, Cable between transceiver and processor unit (via junction box)
This cable carries reception or echo signals whose amplitudes are greater than 0.1mV, which
‘means they can be interfered by noise from high electric power cables;
1) Locate the cables well away from electric power cables that cary more than a few
kilowatts to loads that fluctuate.
2) Locate the cables well away from electric power cables that carry waveforms switched by
thyristor, etc. even if the load is small.
3) Locate the cables away from transmitting antenna cables of radio equipment.
‘Also observe the guidelines for other connection cables of the DS-50, described below
recommend cable specifications;
~ Cable type: TTYCY-195
~ Outer diameter: 38.8+ 1.6mm
= Weight: 2050(kgikm)
3, Other connection cables of DS-50
Observe the installation guidelines if other connection cables to prevent noise from
Interference;
1) Ifthese cables are run parallel with electric power cables, separate them 40 cm minimum.
2) Ifthese cables are run behind a bulkhead through non-metallic conduit or duct, an armored
cable without sheath should be used and grounded every 50 om.
Countermeasure to protect Transducer from by Dry Dock Blocks
‘The transducer may be damaged if the transducer touches the block at grou
following countermeasure to prevent from occurring;
4. Before delivery, draw up a docking plan referring to the dimensions and location of the
transducer. The plan should be kept onboard ship.
2. Plan the placing of the blocks referring to the above plan.
3. Prior to pumping out the water, have a diver check the position between transducer and the
blocks. Confirm that the transducer will not touch the blocks.
Consuit with the dockyard personnel over items 2 and 3 above before dry-docking.

Press the [MODE] selector to select speed tracking mode among water, ground or automatic.
Select the mode considering depth and speed. "G", "W" or "A" lights to show mode selected.
G: Measures and displays a speed relative to ground. The depth range usable for this mode is 1
to 200 meters below the keel.
W: Measures and displays a speed relative to the watermass. The depth from the keel to the
seabed should be three meters or more.
Note: It is recommended to use the water tracking mode in operation with an ARPA for
collision avoidance task.
‘A: Automatically selects ground tracking mode or water tracking speed mode depending on
depth. Water tracking mode is selected when the keel clearance exceeds 200 meters.
Note: Actual working depth in the ground tracking mode depends on seabed and water condi-
tions, and the reflecting properties for sonic pulses.

13MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Me)
Do not open the equipment.
High voltage which can shock,
burn or cause serious injury
‘exists inside the equipment.
Do not work inside the equip-
‘ment unless familiar with
electrical circuits.
Preventive Maintenance
Monthly checks
Check the following monthly:
+ Allconnectors and cables are securely connected.
* Check ground of main display unit and processor unit for rust. Clean if necessary.
* Check that power voltage is within prescribed rating.
* Conduct the diagnostic program.
Cleaning
Display uni
Dust and dirt may be wiped off the main display unit with a soft cloth, Mild detergent may be
used if necessary, Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the unit—they may remove paint and
markings.
Transducer
Marine life (barnacles, etc.) on the transducer can cause a considerable drop in sensitivity.
‘When the ship is docked, carefully remove any marine life from the transducer. Paint the trans-
ducer yearly with Marine Star 20C (no other paint allowed) anticorrosion paint.
14Troubleshooting
Below are simple troubleshooting procedures the operator can follow to restore normal opera-
tion.
Power cannot be turned on.
Try adjusting brilliance (power may be on but brilliance is too low).
Check the power cable for damage.
Check that the power connector is firmly fastened.
Check if fuse(s) on the processor unit have blown. If a fuse has blown, find out the cause
before replacing it. Be sure to use proper fuse. Fuse rating appears below fuse holder.
Poor accuracy.

1. Turnon the power while pressing and holding down the [SET] key. 10.0 kt for fore/aft speed
appears. "T" appears to denote the test mode.
2. Confirm that the remote indicators display 10.0 kt. If not, there may be some problem be-
tween the processor unit and remote indicators.
15Main display unit diagnostic program
‘The diagnostic program checks the main display unit for proper operation and is automatically
conducted at start up. It may also be conducted when necessary. The program checks the memory
(ROM, RAM, EEPROM), LEDs and buzzer and then shows the program version number. The
equipment is normal if the program version no. appears.
1. Torun the diagnostic program, turn on the power while pressing the [Kt / m/s] selector. The
program checks the LEDs, ROM, RAM, EEPROM and buzzer and displays the program
version number. This is done continuously.
2. To escape from the diagnostic program, turn off the power.

errorPRINCIPLE OF DOPPLER SPEED LOG
A doppler speed log measures ship's speed by utiliz~
ing the principle of the Doppler effect, which defines
that a signal emitted from a moving object is heard
with its frequency shifted at stationary locations and
the degree of the frequency shift is proportional to the
speed of the moving object.
For ease of understanding measurement of ship's
fore-aft speed is explained in this paragraph.
Although the DS-50 employs three directional beams,
let's suppose that only two beams are used as shown
at right.
Ultrasonic pulses are emitted at an angle of @ relative
to water line toward ship's fore and aft direction. If
the ship's speed is "V", the source of the ultrasonic
pulse approaches or goes away the reflecting points
on the seabed at a speed of Veos8.
This relative motion causes the Doppler shift and the
ultrasonic signals reflected at the seabed are received
at frequencies of "fo + fd” and "fo - fd" by the trans-
ducer. In the processor unit of the DS-50, difference
of "fo + fd" and “fo - fd" are computed to extract only
the Doppler shift factor “fd”.
veos 6
(fowfd) -(fo-fd) = 2fd
Since the 'fu' is theoretically given by
fd = 2Vcos@ x fo/C (C: Sound velocity in water)
and fo, C and @ are known, V can be calculated if the "fd" is given.
Note that the sound velocity in water changes with water temperature and water pressure but
the change by water temperature is automatically compensated for by using temperature sensor,
