2 System Description
A Sound Reception System is an acoustical electronic navigational aid that enables an individual to hear sound signals from
other ships like foghorns when standing inside a totally enclosed bridge space, in order to perform the lookout function as
required according to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972.
The system works by listening and detecting the direction of a foghorn. The 8300 MkII system is always listening for sounds
on the outside of the ship and will only play back and display sounds once a horn has been detected. The vessel's own horn
can be suppressed by closing a closing contact on the 8300 MkII system, which will disable detection for the duration it is held
closed.

4.3 Electrical Connections
The cable from the P-8301 MkII microphone unit is a 3-meter cable with flying leads and must be wired to a junction box suited
to the environment it is placed in. A cable from the junction box must be laid to the P-8300 MkII display unit. When connecting
the microphone unit to the display unit, the cable must be terminated in the 11-pin microphone connector on the back of the
display unit.
The cable must be shielded and contain at least 5 twisted pairs made of bare copper and have a lead core size of 0.25 mm2or
larger when the cable length is up to 100 meters. If a longer stretch of cable is required (up to a maximum of 200 meters), use
a lead core size of 0.5 mm2or larger.

5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Operational Modes
The P-8300 MkII display unit has four different operational modes. The volume and lighting can be adjusted.
To switch between modes, do the following:
• Press and hold the control button for 5 seconds.
NOTE:
Continuing to hold the button will advance you into the next mode. The mode will change for every additional 5 seconds.
5.1.1 Normal Mode
When the display unit is first started, it will start in normal mode. When in this mode, the unit will idle until a horn signal is
detected. Detected horns will play on the speaker and indicate the direction of the source of the signal.
The speaker will play the detected horn at a consistent level regardless of the level of the input. This level can be adjusted
using the volume control. Differences in the level of the input can be perceived in the clarity of the signal compared to the
background noise.
As a reference, the expected level for a whistle with a fundamental frequency of 120Hz, with a level of 143dB
(SPL) within 1/3 octave at 1 meter, from 2 nautical miles should be around 65-70 dB(A) at the listening post. The
second volume setting (two notches clockwise when muted) will result in a similar level in dB(A) produced by the
display.
Within the first 3 seconds of detection, an 80-degree arch will light up in orange while the center of the arch is lit in red. After
3 seconds, only the red light remains active. Multiple indications can be active at once. The indication pointer will remain for a
configurable amount of time (7 seconds by default) after the detection is finished. The indication pointer configuration time can
be altered within the web interface.
The light behind the control button is off when the unit is in this mode.

incorrectly mounted P-8301 MkII microphone unit.
To enter the calibration detection mode, do the following:
1. Press and hold the control button for 10 seconds
NOTE: If the unit is in the manual listen mode, then you only need to press and hold the control button for 5 seconds. When
the calibration mode is activated, the light behind the control rotary button switches to orange
2. Rotate the control button to calibrate the position, to add (right) or subtract (left) the offset for all detections
NOTE: The default is a zero degree offset and a single tick with the control button will adjust the offset by 10 degrees.
The indication ring displays the current offset. A more precise offset can be set in the web interface.
