Installation Manual
1. Purpose of this Manual
This installation manual describes the procedures to install the following WASSP equipment:
►Transducer
►BTxR (Transceiver)
►WASSP Processor
►WASSPsoftwareandrmwareforWASSPProcessorandBTxR.
It also provides procedures to commission the WASSP system during dockside and sea trials.
2. Introduction
TheWASSPisamultibeamsonarsystemthatusesawide-anglesonartransducertoprole
thewatercolumnandseaoortoahighresolution.Itisthisuniquecombinationofmultibeam
sonar and computer processing power which provides you with unparalleled information about
the underwater environment. It gives you a wide 120° port-starboard swath of the water column
andsea-oor,allowingyoutondandpositionreefsandwrecks,seaoorhardnesschanges,
andforeignobjectsinthewatercolumnoronthesea-oor.Fromthe120°swath,thesystem
processes 224 dynamic beams, with each beam containing detections from the water column
andsea-oor.
The WASSP can be applied to a variety of survey methods, as well as search and rescue,
customs, and police applications.
The information is presented in a user-friendly, mouse controlled, Windows-based operating
system. The system can output data to plotting and hydrographic software packages. For
optimal performance, roll, heave, pitch, heading and position inputs are all required.
The effectiveness of motion correction depends on both the quality of sensors and the quality
of input data. Accurate ship measurements must be taken and the dockside and sea trial
commissioning procedures carried out thoroughly.
2.1 Main Features
►Simple to use
►Improved performance.
The use of separate transmit and receive arrays has enabled WASSP Ltd. to optimise both
transmit performance and receive sensitivity, giving improved performance over traditional
sonar and sounders.
►High detail picture of the marine environment.
The transmit beam spreads over a 120° port-starboard swath and covers 4° fore-aft while
the receive beam covers 10° fore-aft, displaying a highly detailed picture of the marine
environment.
►Beam stabilisation.
Beamstabilisationcompensatesforthemovementofthevessel,providingaccurateseaoor
proles.
►Variable beam width.
Unique to the WASSP, the single beam view can not only be stabilised, but the beam width
can be varied from 5° to 40°.
►Bottom lock.
Bottom lock provides a traditional bottom lock mode where the changes in bottom depth are
ignoredandthebottomisdrawnat.Echoesareshownrelativetotheatbottomimage,
enablingbetterdiscriminationonthesea-oor.

►Computer based prole storage.
Acomputer-basedsystemmeanstheWASSPcangenerateandstoreverydetailedseaoor
proles.
►160 kHz operating frequency.
Operatingatafrequencyof160kHzprovideshighseaoordenitionwithalargerange.
►Depth and seaoor coverage.
Seaoorcoverageisdeterminedbytheswathwidthinuse:Fora90degreeswathwidth,the
seaoorcoveragewillbeapproximatelytwicethewaterdepth.Forexample,100mdepth
gives200mseaoorcoveragewith224beams-everyping.Fora120degreeswathwidth,
theseaoorcoverageis3.4xdepth.Forexample,200mdepthgivesover600mseaoor
coverage.
►Unique power management system (14 power levels).
14powerlevelsprovideoptimalperformanceoverawiderangeofseaoortypesandwater
depths.
►Efcient seaoor mapping.
Proles90timesfasterthanconventionalsinglebeamechosounders,leadingtoreduced
costs and improved accuracy.
►Future proof technology.
ThecomputerbasedoperatingsystemandBTxRrmwarearebothupgradeableasnew
features and methods in software are developed.
►Third party integration
Through interfacing, real time, to third party software applications and outputting to standard
formats, bathymetric and water column data can be collected and processed using specialist
tools.

5. Transducer
5.1 Transducer Type
TheWASSPsystemusesatransducerintendedtobeeitherpolemountedorushmounted
inside the hull through a suitable opening to allow the bottom face of the transducer to be in
contact with the sea water.
Thetransducerisarectangular-shaped,low-proletransducerforthrough-hullmounting,
encased in a sealed sea chest made to suit the vessel’s hull dead rise angle. The transducer is
best suited to steel and aluminium hulls.
A sea chest for housing and sealing the transducer should be designed and constructed by a
reputable shipyard to suit the size and contours of the hull of each individual vessel. This must
be sized and constructed accurately.
The sea chest provides a stable platform for the transducer and must be mounted as horizontal
to the vessel’s waterline as possible. An optional gland supplied by WASSP Ltd. in alloy, plastic,
or steel, provides the transducer cable through-hull seal.
The transducer is supplied standard with a 10m cable. Different cable lengths are available.
Please ask your WASSP representative for details.

5.4 Transducer Mounting - General Considerations
The transducer is mounted on the hull below the water line or as a rigid structure attached to the
hull, normally using a permanent sea chest. The transducer must be mounted so that it is aligned
withthefore-aftaxisofthevessel.Itmustalsobemountedsothattheatundersideofthe
transducer is as close to horizontal as possible when the vessel is travelling at survey speed.
If the vessel has a keel, the transducer can be mounted somewhere along the length of it. If it
is mounted on the hull, it should be far enough away from the keel so that the keel will not be
detected within the 120° beam angle. “Figure 4. Through Hull Transducer Mounting” on page
11showsaseachesttypethrough-hullmountingdesignedspecicallyforafastmoving,alloy
hull boat.
The performance of the system is directly related to the mounting location of the transducer,
especially for high-speed cruising. The installation should be planned in advance, keeping in mind
thexedcablelengthof10metersandthefollowingfactors:
►Air bubbles and turbulence caused by movement of the vessel seriously degrade the
sounding capability of the transducer. The transducer should be located in a position with the
smoothestwaterow.
►The transducer should not be mounted close to propellers because noise from propellers can
adversely affect the performance of the transducer.
►Mount the transducer inboard of lifting strakes as these create acoustic noise.
►The transducer must always remain submerged, even when the boat is rolling, pitching or
planing at high speed.
►Apracticalchoicewouldbesomewherebetweena⅓anda½oftheboat’slengthfromthe
stern. For planing hulls, a practical location is generally towards the rear of the vessel, to
ensure that the transducer is always submerged, regardless of the planing angle.
►Do not mount another transducer near the WASSP transducer as it is likely to interfere with
the signal received by the WASSP system.
NOTE: The transducer MUST be mounted in the correct orientation.
- There is an arrow on the top of the transducer housing, which must point to the
BOW of the boat.
- The transducer end with the extruding cable must be positioned toward the STERN.

5.5.1 Mount the Transducer Cable Gland
See “Figure 8. Mounting the Gland Assembly” and “Figure 9. Gland Assembly - Cable
Connectors”.
In the external sea chest and fairing type installations, the cable gland forms a seal where the
transducercablepassesthroughthehull.Inlowproleseachestinstallations,theglandpasses
through the sea chest cover.
The gland pipe and a single gasket are the only parts of the gland that are located inside the sea
chest or outside the hull, all other parts are attached to the gland pipe inside the vessel.
Gland Mounting Instructions
Depending on the type of installation, there are various ways of mounting the cable gland to the
hull. The following example describes how to mount the gland through the hull and then feed the
cable through the gland. Adapt the following procedure to suit your installation while taking the
following into consideration:
►Always use a good quality marine sealant to seal across areas that can leak.
►When installing the gland packing ring, apply soapy water to the inside of the packing ring and
pass it over the transducer cable until it is sitting on top of the gland pipe. The soapy water
allows the packing ring to slide easily down the cable. When sitting on top of the gland pipe,
clean as much of the soapy water off as possible to ensure the packing ring grips the cable
when pressure is applied by the gland nut.
►Tighten the gland nut by hand until secure. With the vessel in the water, check for leaks at
the gland and if leaking slightly, tighten the gland nut with a spanner until the leak stops.
►When all leaks are stopped, tighten the gland lock nut against the gland nut.

5.5.2.1 Replacing / Repairing an RJ-45 Connector
If one or more of the RJ-45 connectors gets damaged during the installation process, the
connector can be easily replaced. Wiring details and colour codes used are shown below.
The screen / drain wire should be
soldered onto the side of the RJ-45
connector. Scratch the side of the
connector with something sharp before
soldering to assist with the join.

6.2 BTxR Installation
6.2.1 BTxR Installation Considerations
For maintenance purposes, the PCB assembly can be removed from the case in situ. Always
leave at least 600 mm clearance at the faceplate end cover to allow the PCB assembly to be
withdrawn from the case.
6.2.2 BTxR Installation
Usingthemountingangesontheendcovers,theBTxRcanbemountedverticallyona
bulkhead,orhorizontallyontheoor.See“Figure10.BTxRConnectionsandDimensions”on
page 18 and “Figure 11. BTxR Mounting Diagram” on page 19 for BTxR dimensions and mounting
clearances.

Figure 11. BTxR Mounting Diagram
The BTxR can be mounted with
the transducer cable feeding in
from the top. WASSP Ltd. do not
recommend this as any water
leaks could run down any of the
cables attached to the faceplate
and enter the BTxR.
Connect the following cables to the faceplate end cover. See “6.2.2.1 BTxR
Connections” on page 20 for cable connection details:
►Transducer cable to BTxR.
►WASSP Processor CAT5 cable to BTxR
►24 V DC power to BTxR

Figure 13. BTxR Cable Clamp
The BTxR cable MUST be tted
with the supplied cable clamp
to prevent strain on the RJ-45
connectors where they plug
into the front of the BTxR.
Cable Clamp
The seven receiver
cables MUST be
connected in the
colour order shown.
Failure to do this
will result in faulty
operation of the
WASSP system.
