Page 4: General Description
A magnetic compass is incorporated on the top of the unit. FIGURE 1: PR1 EXTERNAL ASSEMBLY The PR1 Pinger Receiver unit is directional and as such, only detects acoustic signals (of the selected frequency) that enter the receiver window within a (typically) 30° beam angle centred along its central axis. -

(see SECTION 3.3). Use the Frequency Control Knob on the faceplate to adjust the frequency setting of the PR1 unit to match that of the test pinger. Use the Sensitivity Control Knob to set the sensitivity to maximum. Ensure that the acoustic window is pointing towards the pinger and confirm that the Signal Strength Meter is registering a pulsing signal that matches the pulse rate of the test pinger. -
Page 6: Pr1 Deployment And Operating Instructions
As with all acoustic systems, ambient acoustic noise in the environment will have a significant impact on the performance of the PR1 unit. Some of the most common sources of ambient acoustic noise are vessel engines, water turbulence and rough weather. -

4. Guess the direction of the target pinger and point the receiver window in that direction. Slowly scan the PR1 around to see if you can pick up a signal. If you cannot pick up a signal, make sure that you pan around a full 360°. If you are still unable to detect a signal, move to a different area and repeat this step. -
Page 8: Maintenance
The Receiver Window should be protected from damage at all times. Do not sit the PR1 on a surface with the Receiver Window face down.
