HARDWARE VARIATIONS AND COMPATIBILITY

4125 Series Side Scan Sonar Systems contain both standard and proprietary hardware. The 4125i and the

4125 SAR Side Scan Sonar Systems are the current standard hardware configurations. The 4125 (no i) is a

legacy system that was replaced by the 4125i. Each variant in the series has its own set of options.

The 4125i is an improved version of the legacy 4125 system that replaces the obsolete xDSL towfish and

topside modems in the system. 4125i and 4125 towfish and topside equipment are not compatible with

one another as the chipset used in the obsolete 4125 xDSL modems are not compatible with the new

modems used in the 4125i. Both topside and towfish must be purchased or upgraded to the 4125i

standard to work correctly. Contact EdgeTech CUSTOMER SERVICE for details and assistance on any

upgrade. Full system documentation on this system can be found in the 4125I/4125 SERIES HARDWARE

MANUAL (0004823) and the 4125 SOFTWARE MANUAL (0016652).

The 4125 SAR Side Scan Sonar System is a variant with configurations and options that are optimized for

search and recovery surveys. These configurations and options may make the 4125 SAR towfish and

portable topside not compatible with non-SAR 4125 system components. Contact EdgeTech CUSTOMER

SERVICE for details and assistance if this is the case. Full system documentation can be found in the 4125-

SAR HARDWARE MANUAL (0019251) and 4125 SOFTWARE MANUAL (0016652).

EdgeTech may change the standard components due to their availability or performance improvements.

Although the component manufacturers—along with their models and styles—may change from unit to

unit, replacement parts will generally be interchangeable.

EdgeTech will make every effort to see that replacement components are interchangeable and use the

same software drivers (if applicable). At times, however, direct replacements may not exist. When this

happens, EdgeTech will provide the necessary drivers with the replacement part, if applicable.

EdgeTech may also change specific hardware per customer requirements. Therefore, portions of this

manual, such as parts lists and test features, are subject to change. These sections should be used for

reference only. When changes are made that affect system operation, they will be explicitly noted. Also,

some options and features may not be active in the customer's unit at the time of delivery. Upgrades will

be made available when these features are implemented.

Contact CUSTOMER SERVICE with any questions relating to compatibility.

ATTENTION – READ THIS FIRST!

All personnel involved with the installation, operation, or maintenance of the equipment described in this

manual should read and understand the warnings and cautions provided below.

CAUTION!This equipment contains devices that are extremely sensitive

to static electricity. Therefore, extreme care should be taken when

handling them. Normal handling precautions involve the use of anti-static

protection materials and grounding straps for personnel.

WARNING!High Voltage may be present in all parts of the system.

Therefore, use caution when the electronics are removed from their

containers for servicing.

CAUTION!Operation with improper line voltage may cause serious

damage to the equipment. Always ensure that the proper line voltage is

used.

CAUTION!Do not operate the system while the Towfish in the air for

extended periods. The system may be enabled to transmit while in the

air for test purposes, but testing should be limited to 5 minutes or less.

This system transmits high power into the transducers, which can

become quite hot if operated in the air for extended periods. Damage to

the transducers and internal electronics is possible.

1.0 TOPSIDE SETUP

To set up the topside:

1. Set up your side scan sonar system operation computer and 4125i topside unit at a secure place.

2. Connect the AC or DC power cable to a power source.

3. Connect ETHERNET cable to the laptop and 4125i topside.

4. Connect GPS to an appropriate serial port.

5. If a wireless connection is going to be used, enable wireless connection in the network settings,

and disable the LAN connection.

6. Connect the tow cable to the topside.

3.0 SETUP AND ACTIVATION

After making all connections, the system is ready to be turned on, and the Discover Software started. See

the DISCOVER 4125 SOFTWARE MANUAL for operation details.

3.1 Powering Up the Topside and Discover

1. Turn on the 4125i topside.

Figure 3-1: 4125i Portable Topside

2. Observe that the topside and fish power lights are illuminated, and the Link and LAN lights are

active.

NOTE: some older topsides have only the power and fish power

indicators.

3. Start the Discover software program if not already running and wait for the NET OFF dialog box

to change to NET ON. (This indicates that the topside and Towfish are connected).

4. The CM (Current Monitor) light should be off, indicating a good connection. If there is an issue,

the CM light will flash at 1 Hz rate for an open tow cable and 2 Hz for a shorted tow cable.

5. In the Towfish control dialog, check the Transmit boxes for High and Low frequencies and verify

the waterfall is scrolling down the screen for both frequencies.
