Page 51: Self Noise
Preparations low as possible in order to obtain long range and dependable interpretation. The noise that contributes to the signal to noise ratio on hydroacoustic instruments may be divided into the following types of noise: • Self noise • Ambient noise •...
Page 52 Simrad SU90 This noise is usually water-borne. In some cases, however, shaft vibrations or vibrations in the hull near the propeller may be structure-borne to the transducer. If a propeller blade is damaged, this may increase the noise considerably. Propeller cavitation is a severe source of noise. "Singing" propellers might be a source of noise, which interferes at discrete frequencies.
Page 53: Ambient Noise
Preparations Cavitation usually occurs more willingly in air filled water and the occurrence is dependent on the hydrostatic pressure. Cavitation is a severe source of noise. The noise is made when the voids implode. Cavitation noise often occurs at the propeller and near extruding objects at higher speeds.
Page 54: Electrical Noise
Note The information here must be considered as general advice. Each SU90 installation must be handled separately depending on the hull design and the other electrical and mechanical systems installed.
Page 55 Preparations Echo sounder transducers should be mounted with a small inclination angle. The transducer must be protruding far enough down to reach out of the boundary layer. The hull plating in front of the transducer must be as smooth as possible. No extruding objects or any abrupt transitions should appear.
Page 56 Use shielded cables with correct grounding is necessary. Separate SU90 cables from other cables with heavy currents or transients. Use a supply voltage without disturbances like transients from the supply itself, or from other equipment fed by the same supply.

Simrad SU90 Cable trays All permanently installed cables associated with the system must be supported and protected along their entire lengths using conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is over the final short distance (maximum. 0,5 meters) as the cables run into the cabinets/units to which they are connected.
Page 311: Physical Protection
Appendix D Basic cable requirements It is important that cables, other than those supplying services to the equipment installed in a radio room, are not installed through a radio room, high power switch gear or other potential sources of interference. Cables which must pass through a radio room must be screened by a continuous metal conduit or trunking which must be bonded to the screening of the radio room at its points of entry and exit.
Page 312: Cable Connections
Simrad SU90 Cable connections All cable connections are shown on the applicable cable plan and interconnection diagrams. Where the cable plan shows cable connections outside an equipment box outline, the connections are to be made to a plug or socket which matches the plug or socket on that particular item of equipment.
