Sonar ProcessorThe Sonar Processor is the computer that controls the M3 Sonar PHS. It is a vital part ofthe M3 Sonar PHS Portable Hydrographic System (PHS).

In this publication, the computer is referred to as theSonar Processor.

The Sonar Processor runs the M3 software that managescommunication with the Sonar Head, performs allbeamforming and image processing and presents thesonar imagery. The Sonar Processor communicateswith the sonar through a standard Ethernet cable.

M3 Sonar Interface UnitThe M3 Sonar Interface Unit is a telemetry junction box which also provides powerto all the sensors.

The Seapath 130 sensor unit, Motion Reference Unit(MRU), Sound speed sensor, M3 Sonar Head, andSonar Processor all connect to the M3 Sonar InterfaceUnit. The connection ports are all located on the frontpanel.

An external power supply connects to the M3 SonarInterface Unit, providing power to all system units.

Seapath 130 sensor unitThe sensor unit runs the navigation software. This software combines the GNSS signaland the inertial measurements to determine accurate position, heading, attitude andheave signal. This software uses Kongsberg Seatex AS advanced true multi-referencealgorithms for real-time parallel processing of all available correction signals.

The sensor unit includesthe following.• Two GNSS receivers

and antennas• Cable that connects to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit• Mounting bracket


922-00037011/1.2 11

Sonar HeadThe Sonar Head includes transmit and receive transducers and the electronics to generatethe transmit pulse and digitize the received signal.

Two Sonar Head models are available for use with the M3 SonarPHS: model number 922-20220000 (Ethernet with Sync and1PPS), and model number 922-20240000 (with an integratedsound speed sensor). In the M3 Sonar PHS, the Sonar Headis attached to the bottom of the Pole Mount. The Sonar Headconnects to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit through a head cablewith 100Mbps Ethernet and 1PPS time synchronization.

Note

The M3 Sonar Head’s black polyurethane transducer is delicate.Always keep the Guard Ring and protective cover over thetransducer during installation and storage.

Motion Reference UnitThe Motion Reference Unit (MRU) is specially designed for high precision motionmeasurements in marine applications.

The MRU is mounted in a lightweight subsea bottle, rated 10 metres.The MRU cable connects to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit to integrate withSeapath 130 GNSS sensor.

The Motion Reference Unit is very sensitive to impacts. Be careful notto drop the MRU. The electronics inside will be damaged and need to bereturned to the manufacturer for repair.

Sound speed sensorIn order to ensure accurate measurements, a dedicated sound speed sensor is positionedclose to the Sonar Head.

The sound speed sensor cable connects to the M3 Sonar InterfaceUnit to output the real-time sound speed to the M3 software. If thesound speed sensor is integrated into the Sonar Head, a dedicatedcable connected to the M3 Sonar Interface Unit is not required.
