GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
General Safety Warnings – 1/2
(1) THE REAR PANEL TRANSDUCER CONNECTOR RECEPTACLE IS
EMITTING EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE RADIO–FREQUENCY PULSES
WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS TURNED ON.
THE CONNECTOR IS COVERED WITH A SCREW–LOCKED
PROTECTIVE RUBBER CAP WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS INITIALLY
DELIVERED.
TO AVOID COMING INTO CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY WITH ANY OF THE
CONNECTOR PINS, BE SURE TO PLACE THE PROTECTIVE CAP OVER
THE RECEPTACLE WHENEVER THE TRANSDUCER IS UNPLUGGED.
LOCK THE CAP USING THE TWO SCREWS ATTACHED.
(2) TO COMPLY WITH THE RELEVANT WHEEL–MARK TYPE APPROVAL
REGULATIONS, THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE OPERATED USING ONE
OF THE TRANSDUCERS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. OPERATION
WITH A TRANSDUCER OTHER THAN A SPECIFIED ONE IS NOT
OFFICIALLY APPROVED, AND THE RESULTS OBTAINED WITH SUCH A
TRANSDUCER MUST NOT BE USED FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES.
(3) THE ACCURACY OF THE ON–SCREEN DEPTH READOUT IS
AFFECTED BY WATER TEMPERATURE, SALINITY, DEPTH AND
OTHER UNDERWATER CONDITIONS AS WELL AS THE SHIP’S
ROLL AND PITCH, HEEL AND TRIM.
TAKE THESE POSSIBLE ERROR–CAUSING FACTORS INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN USING THE DEPTH READOUT, SUCH AS
WHEN NAVIGATING SHALLOW AREAS OR IN APPLICATIONS
WHERE ACCURATE DEPTH READING IS CRITICAL.
(4) DURING SHALLOW WATER OPERATION, THE EQUIPMENT MAY
OCCASIONALLY READ TWICE THE ACTUAL DEPTH BY LOCKING
ONTO THE *1SECOND BOTTOM ECHO.
THE DIGITAL DEPTH READOUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE COMPARED
WITH THE GRAPHIC BOTTOM INDICATION OR WITH SOUNDINGS
DATA IN OFFICIAL NAUTICAL CHARTS TO DETERMINE THE TRUE
DEPTH.
TOTAL RELIANCE ON THE DIGITAL READOUT ALONE FOR DEPTH
INFORMATION IS DANGEROUS AND MUST BE AVOIDED.
*1See paragraph 7.4.2 for more information on the second bottom echo.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

General Safety Warnings – 2/2
(5) WITH A TRANSDUCER DRAFT ENTERED, THE ON–SCREEN DIGITAL
READOUT SHOWS THE DEPTH FROM THE WATERLINE AND NOT
FROM THE TRANSDUCER FACE OR FROM THE SHIP’S KEEL.
GREAT CARE SHOULD, THEREFORE, BE TAKEN IN USING THE
DEPTH READOUT WHEN NAVIGATING SHALLOW WATER AREAS. BE
SURE TO SET THE DEPTH REFERENCE TO “BELOW SURFACE”
(DBS) TO AVOID ANY MISUNDERSTANDING.
See paragraph 8.2 for more information on transducer draft.
(6) WHEN THE DEPTH REFERENCE INDICATION IS SET TO “BELOW
KEEL,” BE SURE TO ENTER THE APPROPRIATE KEEL OFFSET TO
AVOID ANY MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE DEPTH READOUT.
See paragraph 8.10.7.3 for more information on keel offset.
(7) DO NOT SWITCH THE EQUIPMENT ON WITH THE TRANSDUCER
OUT OF WATER, SUCH AS WHILE THE VESSEL IS DRY–DOCKED,
OR THE TRANSDUCER’S CERAMIC CRYSTALS MAY BE DAMAGED
IRREPARABLY.
(8) THE DISPLAY CABINET IS NOT WEATHERIZED FOR OUTDOOR
INSTALLATION OR OPERATION. ANY DAMAGE CAUSED,
WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THROUGH WATER
INGRESSION IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER’S OR
DEALER’S WARRANTY.
(9) NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR ITS DEALER IS LIABLE
FOR LOSS OF LIFE, BODILY INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE
PROPERTY ARISING FROM THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT OR
FROM BEING UNABLE, FOR ANY REASON, TO OPERATE THIS
EQUIPMENT.
< CAUTION >
Environmental Safety – Equipment Disposal
The display cabinet and the transducer are considered
environmentally safe in their original, assembled forms.
However, if either unit is to be discarded for any reason,
ensure full compliance with all pertinent national/local
regulations/ordinances, and contact your dealer or the
manufacturer for assistance or instructions before disposing
of it.

Product Description

5. Product Description
The Model CVR–010 is a single–channel navigation echo sounder designed to comply fully
with IMO Resolution MSC.74(69) Annex 4, and is type–approved by BSH on the basis of
compliance with the DIN EN ISO 9875 standards and pertinent IEC requirements for wheel
mark certification.
Featuring a 5.7–inch daylight–viewing, LED–backlit color TFT LCD screen, the equipment
displays the echogram using a total of seven user–definable ease–on–the–eye analog
strength–level colors that represent various layers of the bottom stratum. The display can be
set to show the bottom contour alone in a single color via a menu–guided procedure.
Digital depth readout is also available using easy–to–read large fonts with a clear on–screen
indication of the reference of measurement (from the waterline, the transducer or the keel),
and in meters, fathoms or feet. To comply with the IMO resolution, the depth reading must
be indicated in meters for navigational purposes.
With an optional GPS sensor plugged in or an onboard GPS data source connected, the
ship’s LAT/LON coordinates, speed and heading data will also be displayed at the same
time.
Abattery–backed realtime calendar clock is built in to indicate the date and time in UTC or in
the desired local time at all times. With an appropriate GPS sensor plugged in, the time is
automatically referenced to the atomic–precision GPS time.
Up to 12 hours of sounding data will be stored in non–volatile memory at approximately
two–second intervals, together with associated date and time, range in use plus position
coordinates (with an optional GPS sensor plugged in or a GPS source connected).
The user can review the stored data across any 15–minute segment at any point in time
over the past 12 hours through a specially designed window easily accessible with a
devoted key.
The depth sounding history can be graphically displayed to show how the depth varied over
the past hours. Detailed data is also available digitally via another window that can also be
accessed with a single keystroke.
The data can be output on demand in NMEA–0183 (IEC 61162–1)–compatible format via
rear panel interface connectors for use in shore–based applications, and is protected
against a system reset.
An easy–to–use menu system is incorporated to set the transducer draft, depth reference,
echo threshold level, echo display mode, etc. in addition to operating parameters to be
selected mainly at installation time.
Unauthorized access to the menu system can be prevented with password entry, if desired.
For use with the CVR–010, high quality TOKIN 50 and 200 kHz transducers are
BSH–approved. A desired frequency should be specified at the time of ordering so that a
matched transceiver board is installed before shipping.
Both the receiver gain and TVG (anti–clutter) levels are automatically controlled for hands–
free operation when the equipment is operating in the fully automatic mode (AUTO). Manual
override of both functions is also possible. Interference from other echo sounders operating
in the vicinity can be effectively eliminated or reduced with a 3–step noise reduction
function.
The acquired data will also be output via the rear panel RS–422 connectors simultaneously
for use in other onboard applications requiring depth, date/time and position information.
The built–in alarms include depth alarm, bottom–missing alarm, power failure (low voltage)
alarm and power removal/shutoff alarm.

5. Product Description (continued – 2/2)
The depth alarm alerts the operator to decreasing depth (shallow alarm). A variable depth
marker can be turned on to set the alarm depth graphically as well as digitally.
The bottom–missing alarm warns against the bottom echo being lost, becoming too weak or
exceeding the current range limit.
The power failure (low voltage) alarm will be activated if the power line voltage drops below
the factory–specified predetermined level.
The power removal/shutoff alarm will be triggered in the event power is accidentally
removed or shut off at the ship’s power source with the equipment operating, emitting
continuously a repeating beep for several minutes.
The alarm activation status, except for the power removal/shutoff alarm, will be indicated
both audibly and visually, and the alarm on/off switched outputs will be separately available
for driving externally connected alarm indicating devices through a devoted connector.
For use with onboard INS applications, the equipment outputs the NMEA–0183 (IEC
61162–1)–formatted alarm sentence for each alarm via one of the rear panel RS–422 ports
at specified intervals. When any of the alarms becomes active, the output’s status and
intervals will be changed accordingly, and an active alarm can be remotely acknowledged
and reset with an appropriate software command from an INS terminal or with a suitable
hardware on/off switch mounted at a different location.
The display cabinet has a rugged DC power supply built in that assures reliable operation
against a wide range of voltage fluctuations. In an installation where an AC power source is
available, the equipment can be operated primarily from the AC source through an optional
Model AC–2000 AC adapter for an automatic changeover to the DC power source in the
event of AC power outage.
