Simrad SP60
Low frequency fishery sonar
WARNING
The sonar must never be powered up when the ship is
in dry dock. The transducer will be damaged if it
transmits in open air. To prevent inadvertent use of the
sonar, pull out the mains plug on the Sonar Processor
Unit whenever the vessel is in dry dock.

High voltage safety warning
Precautionary measures
The voltages used to power this equipment
are potentially lethal. Even 110 volts can kill.
Whenever possible, the following
precautionary measures must be taken before
any work is carried out inside the equipment:
SSwitch off all high-voltage power supplies.
SCheck the operation of any door interlocks
and any other safety devices.
SCompletely discharge all high-voltage
capacitors.
It should be noted that interlocks and safety
devices are normally located only at regular
access points, and high voltages may be
exposed during dismantling.
Never work alone on high-voltage
equipment!
First aid in the event of
electric shock
Normally, even a high voltage electric shock
will not kill instantly. The victim can still be
revived even when his breathing and
heart-beat have ceased.
Could YOU save someone’s life?
In the event of electric shock, the correct
actions, performed quickly may well save the
victim’s life. Make sure you know what to
do!
Immediate action
While shouting for help, remove the source of
power from the victim. Switch off the supply
if possible, or using a dry, non-conductive
material (rubber gloves, broom handle etc.) to
insulate yourself, separate the victim from the
source. If the voltage exceeds 1000 volts,
switch off the supply and be ready to catch
the victim. Take care- do not become a victim
yourself.
Commence first aid on the spot. Continue to
shout for assistance till someone arrives.
1Lay the victim flat on his back and loosen
any tight clothing (collar, tie, belt etc.).
2Open his mouth and check for and remove
any false teeth, chewing gum etc.
3Check if the victim is breathing. If not,
check if his heart is beating. The pulse is
normally easily found in the main arteries
of the neck, either side of the throat, up
under the chin.
If his heart is beating but he is not breathing,
commence artificial respiration. If the
victim’s heart is not beating, commence
external cardiac massage (ECM). Continue to
shout for assistance till someone arrives.
External cardiac massage
1Kneel beside the victim. Place the heel of
one hand in the centre of his chest, at a
position half way between the notch
between the collar-bones at the top of his
chest, and the dip in the breast-bone at the
base of his rib cage. Place the other hand
on top of the first.
2Keeping the arms straight and using your
entire weight, press down rapidly so that
the breast bone is depressed four- five cm,
then release the pressure. Repeat
rhythmically at a rate of one cycle per
second. This will be hard work, but keep
going. His life depends on YOU. Do not
worry about breaking his ribs - these will
heal if he survives.

Simrad SP60
XII 851-164574 / C
Artificial respiration
1Kneel besides the victim’s head. Place one
hand under his neck and lift, allowing his
head to fall back. This will lift his tongue
and open the air passage in his throat.
2Place the palm of the hand on his forehead
to maintain the ”chin-up” position.
3Using the index finger and thumb of the
same hand, pinch the victim’s nostrils
closed. Open his mouth.
4Take a deep breath and cover his mouth
with yours. Blow steadily into his lungs to
expand his chest. Remove your mouth
from his to allow the air to escape from his
chest. You should be able to see his chest
deflate.
5Repeat the ”inflation-deflation” cycle at a
rate of about 12 cycles per minute till the
victim begins to breath normally again.
Combining ECM and artificial
respiration
If you are alone, perform one cycle of
artificial respiration for every five cycles of
ECM. This will be hard work, but keep going.
His life depends on you!
If there are other people available to help, one
should perform the ECM while one performs
the artificial respiration for every five cycles
of ECM. It will be much more efficient with
two people.
Once the victim’s heart is beating and he is
breathing, roll him onto his side and support
him in that position. As consciousness returns
he may vomit, and this will allow any liquid
to drain out of his mouth.
Remove the victim to a hospital as soon as
possible, but do not interrupt the artificial
respiration and ECM cycles till his heart beat
and breathing returns.
If started quickly and performed correctly, the
resuscitation methods described will keep a
sufficient volume of oxygenated blood
flowing trough the victims body to allow full
recovery.
Proficiency in the resuscitation methods can
only be achieved trough training. All
personnel concerned should attend courses on
a regular basis. Remember, someone’s life
could depend on you.
Do you know what to do?

1.1 Purpose and description
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide the information and basic
drawings required for installation of the Simrad SP60 sonar
system.
These instructions must be followed carefully to ensure optimal
sonar performance. As a guide, installation procedures are
presented in the order they are to be performed. Successful
completion of each procedure is to be confirmed by checking-off
the corresponding box.
After installation, this document should be stored on board the
vessel for later reference when updating or servicing the
equipment.
Note The installer is responsible for the equipment during the
installation. The guarantee is only valid when the installation is
made in accordance with this manual.
Installation procedures
Installation procedures for the standard Simrad SP60 sonar system
can be grouped under the following main categories:
→Installation planning, page 22.
→Installation trunk, page 29.
→Hull Unit, page 34.
→Transceiver Unit, page 42.
→Wheelhouse Units, page 46.
→Cabling, page 55.
→Peripheral equipment, page 75.
→Start-up procedures, page 87.
→Testing the peripheral equipment, page 124.
→Final tests and measurements, page 138.

trunks.
Note The Simrad SP60 installation trunk is not included in the standard
delivery. It may be fabricated by the shipyard, or supplied by
Simrad as an option. (Refer to Options below for more
information.)
The optional trunk supplied by Simrad is approved by Det Norske
Veritas (DNV) and includes a blind cover and gasket. The
drawings of the trunk and blind cover are included in the drawing
file.
→Refer to the Sonar trunk drawing 830-113361 on page 194.
→Refer to the Blind cover drawing 830-113362 on page 195.
Options
The following options may be ordered at an additional charge to
augment the standard Simrad SP60 sonar system delivery.
Hull Unit
The standard SP60 Hull Unit can be lowered 1.0 meters at a speed
of 15 knots.
