HPR 400 transceiver unit

The HPR 400 Transceiver Unit processes the acoustic signals,
calculates the transponder position(s) and the acoustic telemetry
data, and sends the information to the APC 10. The data are
presented the display.
The transceiver can operate two transducers with up to 56
transponders simultaneously. The acoustic telemetry functions
are also controlled from this unit, utilizing the same hull
mounted transducer.

Vertical Reference Unit (VRU)

The Vertical Reference Unit (VRU) is interfaced to the
HPR 400 Transceiver Unit. The system can thereby
automatically compensate for the vessel’s roll and pitch
movements. The HPR system can use the same VRU as the
Dynamic Positioning (DP) system (if one is fitted).
The Vertical Reference Unit may or may not be a part of the
Kongsberg Maritime delivery. In any case, the unit is
documented separately by the applicable manufacturer.

Transducers
A standard transducer, (medium/wide beam) is mounted on a
hull unit installed in the keel of the vessel. The transducer has a
multi-element array of transmission/reception elements,
enabling both pulse and phase measurement for the calculation
of the range and two axes angles to the transponder(s).

Hull unit
→ Refer to the HL3880 Hull Unit Instruction manual.

Responder - Cables J
The Responder function requires an optional responder PCB.
One separate cable is required for each responder to be
connected to the transceiver. The transceiver end connects to
one of the 4-pin amphenol connectors on the rear of the
transceiver unit.
Note Links LK1 and LK2 located on the rear of the transceiver unit
must be in place to power the Responder Controller Board
(RPC) with +48 Vdc. This voltage is converted to +24 Vdc on
the RPC board to supply the 24 V responder trigger pulse.
It is this +24 V that is available at pin 3 on the Responder 4-pin
special connector. This power can be, but is normally not used
to supply the responder with power.
Normally the responder is supplied from an external source,
either a separate power supply unit or the ROV etc.

General maintenance information

Note The dismantling procedures described in this manual refer to a
desktop installation - that is, the unit will need to be removed
from a rack before commencing the procedures described here.

Preventive maintenance
The preventive maintenance consists of keeping the units clean.
Note Use only a damp cloth.
Use:
• Soft lint-free cloth
• Bucket
• Mild liquid detergent
Wet the cloth, then wring as much of the water out as possible.
Ensuring that there is no possibility of water dripping into the
units.

 APC 10

Maintenance philosophy

General
The maintenance philosophy recommended by Kongsberg
Maritime is:
• On-board maintenance should be carried out by a
maintenance engineer, with the assistance of the operator.
The maintenance should include the following:
- Calibrations
- Simulations
- Functional tests
- Traditional troubleshooting based on a good knowledge of
the system.
• Replacement of faulty parts should be limited to the line
replaceable units (LRUs) recommended in the spare parts list.
Note To reduce the number of spare boards required, standard circuit
boards without software may be provided. In the event of a
replacement becoming necessary, the software on the faulty
circuit board must then be transferred to the new board. Any
links and switches on the new circuit board must also be set as
on the old board.
Whenever a faulty unit has been replaced, the unserviceable unit
should be sent to Kongsberg Maritime, or an appointed dealer,
for repair.

Error detection
If a fault is detected, the operator should call the maintenance
engineer at the earliest opportunity. The operator should be
issued with a standard procedure detailing how he/she is to
respond to system errors or faults. This procedure should
contain the following (as a minimum):
Whenever a error message appears:
• Write down the parameters currently set in the system.
• Write down a brief description of the actions currently being
carried out.
• Write down the commands being executed (if any) when the
error appeared.
• Write down the controls carried out (if any) when the error
message appeared.

859-164503 / F 33
HPR 400 Technical training guide

• Write down any other information that might be valuable to

the maintenance engineer during troubleshooting. This also
includes events not directly connected to the system (for
example bad weather, excessive temperature in operations
room etc.).

Verification
The first action to be performed by the maintenance engineer on
receipt of a fault message must be fault verification. If the
system has been closed down, it should be powered up again
(unless the fault has caused serious damage to the system), and
an attempt made to make the fault reappear.
• Verify the fault during continued operation.

34 859-164503 / F
 APC 10

Maintenance schedule
Maintenance routines must be performed regularly and
effectively to ensure that the equipment is kept in top condition.
The chart below states the maximum recommended intervals at
which the various routines should be performed - the intervals
should be decreased if the system is used excessively.

 HPR 400 Transceiver Unit

4 HPR 400 TRANSCEIVER UNIT

Design
The transceiver unit is constructed of aluminium panels and
extruded strip. One of several different cover panel designs may
be used depending on the type of installation (console, desk-top,
rack, or portable). The dismantling procedures described in this
manual refer to the unit as used in the console or 19” rack.
The majority of the circuit boards contained in the unit are
standard single-Europe cards, accessible by opening the front of
the unit. The cards are plug-in units, held in position by plastic
clips.
3 mm Ø holes are drilled in the upper and lower front corners
of each board. These are to attach the wire handle used to
extract the board from the unit.
Training courses are available from Kongsberg Maritime AS.

Maintenance actions
The corrective maintenance on the transceiver unit is limited to
operational checks and circuit board replacements. An extension
board will be required if the maintenance engineer wishes to
perform measurements on the boards during system operation.
This is delivered with the standard spare parts kit for the
transceiver unit.

External connections
All external connections to the transceiver unit are made via
plugs located on the rear of the unit.

Power supply
The transceiver unit can be powered from either:
• 115 Vac or
• 230 Vac supply.
Links must be set inside the unit to adapt the unit to the voltage
supply. A mains power switch is located on the front panel,
together with a Power on indicator lamp.

Theory of operation
Introduction
The HPR 400 Transceiver Unit is the central part of the HPR
system. It contains the following:
• Electronic circuitry for transmission of acoustic pulses
• Amplifiers and filters for reception of acoustic signals
• Interfaces to external sensors
• Serial line for communication with the Beam Control Unit
(for tracking systems)
• Serial line for communication with the System Controller (an
Ethernet link will be available shortly).
The transceiver unit’s main navigation function is to interrogate
transponders and measure the range and bearing to them. The
main telemetry function is to transmit and receive acoustic
signals.

Navigation
The operator selects the active mode of operation. The system
can then switch automatically between the selected mode and
the other available mode(s). This means that the system can
make use of several different types of transponder in the same
operation.

SSBL
In this mode, both direction and range to the transponder(s) are
computed.
When a transponder is switched on by the operator, the
transceiver will start interrogation using frequencies
corresponding to the applicable transponder channel. This is
achieved by controlling the transmitter and receiver
(preamplifier) boards. The Central Processing Unit (CPUEX)
circuit board measures the time elapsed from the interrogation
(transmission) till the pulse is detected by the Digital Signal
Processor (DSPM) board.
The three “R”, “X” and “Y” signals received from the HPR
transducer will first enter the Input A or Input B preamplifier
circuit boards where they are amplified and filtered. The signals
are then sampled and converted to binary format by the
Analogue/Digital Converter (ADCM) circuit board. The
DSPM 50 reads the data on the ADCM output, detects the
signals, and calculates the phase differences between the “R”
and “X” input channels and the “R” and “Y” input channels.

66 859-164503 / F
 HPR 400 Transceiver Unit

The DSPM 50 transfers the received data to the CPUEX circuit

board, which then calculates the “X”, “Y” and “R” coordinates
to the transponder. In this calculation, the data from the external
vertical reference unit and compass is used to compensate for
the roll and pitch of the vessel. The sensor data is received and
converted by the Input Output (IOM) circuit board. When the
positioning calculations has been terminated, the current
position is sent to the System Controller, and a new
interrogation sequence can begin.

LBL positioning
In this mode, only the ranges to the transponders are computed,
and several ranges are then used to triangulate the position.
The functional operation is basically the same as for SSBL.
However, in the LBL mode the transceiver will await replies
from all the transponders in the transponder array before it starts
on a new interrogation sequence. The system uses the R
channel to detect the range.

SSBL and LBL

In this mode, both range and direction to the transponder(s) are
computed.
This mode is a combination of the SSBL and LBL modes
described above, and the functional operation is basically
identical to the SSBL. However, the transceiver will await
replies from all the transponders in the array before starting a
new interrogation sequence.

SBL

Telemetry
The operator may select this mode when he/she wishes to send
and receive telemetry messages, for example to read the battery
status of a transponder. When the transceiver reads the telemetry
message from the System Controller, it will convert the message
into acoustic signals. This acoustic message contains bursts and
pulses with different frequencies and fixed intervals. The
transceiver transmits the message(s), and will await the
telemetry reply.
The signal path is identical as for navigation mode. The DSPM
50 will calculate the frequency of the current reception, and
report this to the CPUEX. The CPUEX will assemble the
frequency data, and decode the message from acoustic pulses
into digital values. The data is then passed on to the System
Controller.

Digital signal processor (DSPM 50)

Location and purpose

The DSPM is designed as a general purpose single board
computer, and its main task is to perform digital signal
processing.

Physical description
The DSPM is a single euro-card circuit board, constructed of six
layers. It holds one test-point and one 50-pin connector, P2, on
its front edge. Test-point 1 is located at the top of the board.

Circuit description
The DSPM is a general purpose digital signal processor board. It
utilizes the TMS 320C50 Digital Signal Processor manufactured
by Texas Instruments. It is equipped with 32 inputs and outputs.
The DSPM operates on a 40 MHZ clock frequency, and holds a
total of 128 kbyte memory capacity for program and data
storage. The program memory is loaded from a main control
processor unit (the Central Processing Unit (CPUM)) through a
general bus interface is available in the 96-pin Europa connector
P1.
The processed output from the DSPM is sent through a FIFO
(first in / first out) connected to this bus. External input and
output signals are connected to the board through the DSPM’s
I/O expansion bus available on the front mounted 50-pin flat
ribbon cable connector P2.
The DSPM board comprises the following functional modules:
• Digital Signal Processor
• Memory
• I/O Expansion Bus
• FIFO Buffer
• 8 Digital Inputs
• 8 Digital Outputs
• Control circuitry
• Bus Interface
• Power +5 Vdc (340 mA measured)
The Texas Instrument signal processor is a fixed point 16-bit
processor with a 16-bit address bus. The DSPM has separate
program and data addressing space.

Figure 35 Digital Signal Processor (DSPM) - block diagram

U14 and U12 are the program memory units, and U13 and U15
are the data memory. Both memories can be read or written to
from an external computer.
The signals from the DSP supply all the control signals to the
memories. U5 controls the memory when a external computer is
controlling the board, and the external computer can take
control of the address bus by buffers U19 and U20. U17 and
U18 are the data buffers transceivers. U21 decodes the external
computer address bus and read write signals. SEL1, SEL2,
MWR/ and MRD/ controls the memory. U21 also supplies the
latch signal to the control latch U16, and the read signal to the
FIFO‘s U3 and U4. U21 also controls the enabling of the bus
buffers and the direction of the data buffer transceivers.
The control latch U16 is written to by the external computer.
DB00 controls the HOLD/ signal of the DSPM, and floats the
DSPM before an external computer takes control of the board’s
internal bus. DB01 is used for resetting the DSPM after a new
program is loaded into the program memory from an external
computer. DB07 resets the output FIFO buffer.
Y1 is a crystal oscillator supplying the frequency needed by the
DSP.
Serial line signals CLKR, CLKX, DR, DX, FSR and FSX are
connected directly from the DSP to P3.
The board requires +5 Vdc, and consumes approximately
350 mA.

Transmitter (TXM)
Purpose
Two Transmitter (TXM) boards are used in the Transceiver
Unit. These are TXM-A and TXM-B. The Transmitter board
(TXM) is a general purpose transmitter, containing its own
frequency generator, power control and power supply circuits
(the board feeds both the Rx and CPU circuit boards when in the
Mutran mode). The two boards used in the system are identical
in all respects.

Board description
The TXM is designed to the single Euro-card standard, and
comprises four layers.

Front mounted devices

The TXM board holds two test points and two factory-set links
on its front edge.

Circuit description
The transmitter board holds two MAX663 voltage regulators
which provide the voltages used in the transmitter. It also has a
crystal oscillator which is used as the Tx frequency source and a
direct numerical synthesizer for generating the correct Tx
frequency. Driver stages with power control, an output stage
with over-current protection, transducer matching circuits and a
transducer relay complete the board.
The crystal oscillator runs at 3.2768 MHZ, and is switched on
and off by the MCU (TXOSC). The oscillator frequency is fed
to a counter chain via latches. The counter chain is also loaded
with a 2 x 8 bit word from the MCU, determining the division
factor in the chain. This method of generating transmitter
frequencies makes it possible to alter the frequency
instantaneously, a necessary feature in telemetry applications.
The output from the counter chain, called S8, is combined with
the TX-EN signal and forms the tone-burst, normally 10 ms, to
feed the driver and output stages.
The transistors in the output stage are switched on for varying
fractions of the half-period of the output signal. Thus the area of
each half-period can be varied to control the output power
without varying the supply voltage to the output stage. As the
half-periods are narrowed the energy contained in the signal is
reduced, and after being shaped in the output transformer and
the transducer matching circuits, the amplitude of the signal
driving the transducer elements will be lower.

859-164503 / F 99
HPR 400 Technical training guide

Figure 36 The Transmitter circuit board - block diagram

The driver signals are fed to the output transistors via two paths
which are 180 out of phase. This is because the output stage is a
push-pull circuit where transistors Q1 and Q2 alternately pump
current through transformer T1 for one half-period each.
The output from the transistor stage is fed through a relay,
providing the possibility to choose between different transducer
elements for beam selection. The relay is a bistable relay, i.e. it
is stable in both positions and therefore does not consume any
power in either position. The relay is operated by sending a
current pulse through one of the internal coils. The beam switch
control signals are generated by the micro-controller board.
The transmitter board also contains a release driver stage.
Transistor Q5 acts a power switch for the release motor,
controlled by the micro-controller.

DC power supply (DC - PWR)

The DC-PWR is located second from the right in the rack. The
board is designed by Simrad, though the power converter units
mounted on the board are bought from an external source.

Purpose
The purpose of the MUNAV Power Supply (POWERM) is to
supply the electronic circuitry with low level DC voltages. The
unit can provide several different voltages, in this system
15 Vdc is used.

Board description
This DC supply is based on EriPower DC-DC converters, which
produce the following voltages:
• +5 Vdc
• +15 Vdc
• -15 Vdc
The 15 Vdc is converted to 5 Vdc used for analogue
circuitry by means of serial regulators.
Two converters are used, one mounted directly onto the board,
the other mounted piggy-back fashion on the solder side of the
board. The front of the board comprises a black aluminium heat
sink. The 48 Vdc input power to the board can be supplied to
two different input lines: DC-IN1 and DC-IN2. The board also
holds a 2 A constant current output.

Circuit description
When a TTL level signal is applied to either POWER-ON or
POWER-UP, the gate on Q1 will be forced to a low level by Q2.
This will set the Q2 to a ON condition, and thus pass this power,
supplied to input DC-IN1 or DC-IN2.

Note There is a start-up delay of approximately 40 ms between the

arrival of a Power On pulse and a settled +5 Vdc output.

The constant current block is based on a three-terminal voltage

regulator (U1) LM317HVK and a serial resistor (R1). The
output current will increase until the voltage across R1 is equal
to VREF. (1.2 Vdc). A 1 Ω resistor gives a current of
approximately 1.2 A.

859-164503 / F 113
HPR 400 Technical training guide

The DC-DC converter used is a 25W EriPower PKA4000 series,

requiring an input voltage between 39 Vdc and 64 Vdc.
The output data is as follows:
+5 Vdc output:
Nominal load . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.1 A
Maximum load . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 A

Maximum load . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.8 A
Warning The total load must never exceed 25 W for each
EriPower unit, i.e. 50 W in total.

To generate the 5 Vdc analogue voltage (AVCC/AVEE) the

15 Vdc outputs from the DC-DC converter are fed to U2 and
U3.

Socket-mounted components
The board holds no socket mounted components.

Connections
The board carries one 96-pin Europa connector to link it into the
Transceiver Unit’s backplane.

Replacement of transceiver unit parts

Overview
The following circuit boards contained in the transceiver unit
are defined as Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):
• Backplane
• Input M - A/B
• A/D Converter (ACM)
• Digital Signal Processor (DSPM)
• Control Processing Unit (CPUM)
• Input/Output (IOM)
• Responder (RPC)
• Transmitter (TxM - A/B)
• DC Power supply (DC - PWR)
• AC Power supply (AC - PWR)
The removal and replacement of these parts is described in the
following paragraphs.
→ Description of each of the boards, see page 73.
Note The maintenance engineer must wear a grounding bracelet
which is securely connected to the vessel’s ground at all times
when performing maintenance on the transceiver unit.

Replacement of circuit boards and software

The circuit boards are all plug-in modules and are easy to
replace.
• A small screw-driver may be required to open the front panel.
• A special extraction tool (wire hooks) will simplify the
removal of a board.
• All the boards and power units are replaced using the same
procedure.

How to remove a circuit board

To remove a board, perform the following procedure:
Note If the transceiver unit is installed in a console or a rack, the
operation may be simplified by removing the unit to a
work-bench before proceeding with the circuit board
replacement.

859-164503 / F 117
HPR 400 Technical training guide

1 Ensure all power to the HPR system, and to other systems

connected to the HPR system (DPS, vertical reference unit
etc.) is switched off.
2 Remove the system fuses if possible, and label the fuse
panel with a tag stating that maintenance is being carried
out on the system.
3 Us a small screw-driver if necessary, to open the
transceiver unit front panel.
- This is achieved by slackening the two captive screws
in the upper corners and hinging the panel downwards.
The panel must be allowed to swing below the
horizontal if circuit boards are to be removed, so the
unit may need to be supported on blocks.
4 Identify the unit / board to be removed, and write down
the location of pin.1.
5 Use a small screwdriver or a special extraction tool, and
remove the device carefully from its socket on the source
circuit board.
- Ensure the unit / board is lifted as vertically as possible
to prevent damage to the pins.
6 Locate the desired circuit board and carefully remove any
connectors which may be attached to the front of the
board.
7 Locate the extraction tool hooks into the holes in the upper
and lower corners of the board’s front edge and carefully
pull the circuit board straight out from the transceiver unit
rack.
Note Most of the circuit boards hold software in EPROMS, PROMs
and PALs. If a board is to be replaced, the software will have to
be moved over to the new board. Also, several links and
switches must be set correctly to ensure proper operation. When
replacing a circuit board, ensure that the new links and
switches match the old.

Software
To replace the software, or moving it to a new board, is a
delicate job and must be handled with extreme care. The
following precautions must be taken:
1 The replacement operation must be performed on a clean
and stable workbench or table.
2 The table must be covered with an anti-static mat
connected to the ship’s ground.

118 859-164503 / F
 HPR 400 Transceiver Unit

3 The maintenance engineer MUST wear a grounding

bracelet connected to the ship’s ground.
4 Each software device is identified with a white label. This
label holds the following information:
- Circuit board . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . DSPM
- Device number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . U15

- Check sum (in hexadecimal) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 05A3

How to remove the backplane

The backplane is located behind the circuit boards, and is
accessible through the back of the unit. All the circuit boards
and power units must be removed through the front of the unit
before the backplane can be removed. All connections to the
backplane are made using plugs.
To remove the backplane, follow the procedure below:
Note If the transceiver unit is installed in a console or a rack, the unit
will need to be extracted and taken to a work-bench before
proceeding with the backplane removal procedure.
1 Ensure all power to the HPR system, and to other systems
connected to the HPR system (DPS, vertical reference unit
etc.) is switched off.
2 Remove the system fuses if possible, and label the fuse
panel with a tag stating that maintenance is being carried
out on the system.
3 Label all the cables connected into the back of the
transceiver unit, and disconnect them.
4 Remove all the circuit boards and power units.
- Ensure the boards are placed in a safe place.
5 Use a small screw-driver and remove the 12 screws
securing the transceiver unit rear panel in position.
- The panel is now attached to the unit only by the
cables.
6 Use a suitable insulated tool or wire link, and discharge
the two large capacitors located towards the left side of the
rear panel.
7 Remove all the connecters attached to the backplane.
- The backplane should now be readily accessible.
8 Slacken and remove the 18 screws securing the backplane
into the transceiver unit.

859-164503 / F 119
HPR 400 Technical training guide

- The backplane should now be loose, and the engineer

can remove it carefully through the back of the unit.
If the backplane is going to be out of the transceiver unit for
some time, it is recommended to replace the circuit boards into
the front of the unit and close the unit to protect the boards.

Replacement of the backplane

Replacing the backplane is the reverse of removal.
→ Refer to the procedure on page 119.
Care should be exercised to ensure that parts fit together
correctly before securing screws are tightened. Do not attempt to
apply force to any of the parts. Do not over tighten the securing
screws.

Replacement of circuit boards

When replacing a board into the rack, care must be exercised to
ensure that the board is correctly positioned in the rails before
any pressure is applied to the board. If the rear mounted
connector pins are damaged, a replacement board will be
required.
1 Ensure all power to the HPR system, and to other systems
connected to the HPR system (e.g. DPS, vertical reference
unit etc.) is switched off.
2 Remove the system fuses if possible, and label the fuse
panel with a tag stating that maintenance is being carried
out on the system.
3 Locate the correct slot for the board in question.
- Note that the slots are identified by the board’s initials,
and the boards are identified by text written onto the
component side. In all cases, the board must be located
such that the components are to the right of the board.
4 Locate the board in the slots and carefully slide the board
into the unit. Ensure that the board does not interfere with
and cables as it is pushed in. If necessary, hold any cables
which may be obstructing the board out from the unit.
5 When the connectors on the back of the board begin to
mate with the connectors on the back plane,
(approximately 5 mm before the board is fully home)
check that the board is correctly located then apply even
pressure over the front of the board and push it firmly
home.
6 When the front of the board is fully home, the black
plastic board retention clip will latch over the upper edge
of the board to keep it in position.

120 859-164503 / F
 HPR 400 Transceiver Unit

7 Carefully replace the front connector (if applicable),

ensuring it is pressed fully into the socket.
8 Once all the boards are in position, close the front of the
transceiver unit.
- Ensure that the power cable towards the right side of the
unit is not crimped as the panel is closed.
9 Secure the panel closed using the two screws in the upper
corners.

Fuses

Location
The transceiver unit has two mains input fuses. These are
located in fuse holders located towards the left side of the rear
panel (when seen from the rear).
Four fuses are located on the Responder board (though as this
board is optional it may not be included in the transceiver unit)
and the AC power supply holds one.
The fuses are as follows:
• On the rear panel
- For 115/230 Vac supply - 5 mm x 30 mm, 2 A,
slow-blow.
- For 115/230 Vac supply - 5 mm x 30 mm, 2 A,
slow-blow.
• On the Responder board
Four fuse holders are mounted on the board. The fuses to
be used are
- 5 mm x 20 mm, 0.1 A, 24 Vdc, slow-blow.
• In the AC power supply
The fuse is contained in a holder located on the rear of the
unit. The fuse to be used is:
- 5 mm x 20 mm, 250 V, 2.5 A, slow-blow.
Caution Never attempt to use any other size of fuses than those
stated.

Replacement
1 Switch off the entire HPR system, including other external
units which are connected to the HPR system.

859-164503 / F 121
HPR 400 Technical training guide

2 If the suspect fuse is located on a circuit board, remove the

board from the transceiver unit following the procedure
described in paragraph on page 120. Replace the blown
fuse(s) with the correct size and type of fuse.
Caution NEVER attempt to use anything except the correct size
and type of fuse in the fuse holders. Irreparable
damage may be caused to the transceiver unit if the
wrong fuses (or anything else) are used.

3 Switch on the HPR system power.

4 Switch on the other external units.
Caution If, when a fuse is replaced, it blows again when power
is switched on to the system, a more serious fault
exists. Do not replace the fuses a second time till the
fault has been located and corrected.

DFlex-2 serial adapter

DFlex manufacturer; http://www.connecttech.com

Introduction
The DFlex-2 serial adapter is a 2-port asynchronous
communications adapter board supplied by Connect Tech Inc. of
Canada. It uses 16450 or 16550 UARTS, and incorporates
electrical interface modules to provide flexible line interfaces. It
holds one SIMM module mounted on brackets on the
component side of the board.
The SIMM module enables you to select RS-232, RS-422 or 20
mA current loop interface to the board (only one can be
selected).
Two cards can be used in the computer to increase the number
of outputs available.
In the event of a fault occurring in the board or in the SIMM
module, the faulty unit must be replaced.

DFlex Installation for Windows NT

The DFlex board uses a specific driver on Windows NT. This
driver makes it possible to use a single interrupt from each
board. The following items must be carried out when the board
is installed.
• Set board DIP switches and links (see table 6 and 7)
• Reserve interrupt used by board in the BIOS
• Install the driver
• Test the board

7 HL 3880 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Purpose
The purpose of the hull unit is to enable the transducer to be
lowered out through the vessel’s hull to a depth below aerated
water and other sources of acoustic noise.
Caution Once the transducer is lowered, the depth of water
under the vessel must be monitored closely. It is
recommended that the vessel’s speed be kept below 10
knots when the transducer is in the lowered position.

Overview
This section presents the standard units of the HPR 400 series,
for a standard configuration.

Hull unit descriptions

Hoist motor and gearbox

The hoist motor and gearbox are mounted on the hoist platform.
This platform is at the top of the hull unit, mounted between the
tops of the gantry girders.
The transducer is raised and lowered by this electric motor,
which has a lifting capacity of 1000 Kp.
A crank handle is provided, which can be attached to one end of
the motor shaft, to enable you to raise or lower the transducer
manually in the event of a power failure or for maintenance
purposes.
The handle is stowed beneath the hoist platform, and must be
fitted to the motor shaft for use.

Gantry
The hull unit gantry consists of two vertical, parallel steel
girders, welded to a plate at their lower ends and with the hoist
motor platform bolted to their upper ends. The girders support
the transducer shaft when it is raised, and hold guide rails to
ensure the shaft is correctly aligned. The upper and lower limit
switches are mounted onto one of the girders.

Shaft sleeve
The shaft sleeve is located in the bottom of the hull unit gantry.
The sleeve is bolted to the transducer dock, which in turn is to
be bolted to the gate valve. The shaft sleeve absorbs the forces
created by the water flow acting on the transducer and the
transducer shaft.
To prevent water leakage and to ensure smooth raising and
lowering of the transducer, the shaft sleeve is fitted with Lion
twin-set packing seals at its upper end and a scraper at its lower
end. The space between the seals is filled with grease to
lubricate the seals and provide extra watertight security.
When the sleeve is sufficiently filled, a thin film of grease will
be observable on the transducer shaft. Grease refilling and level
checking screws are located on the shaft sleeve.
Note It is important that the shaft sleeve is kept watertight, and that
the transducer shaft raising and lowering actions are as smooth
as possible. If the system is in frequent use, the shaft sleeve may
be exposed to sea growth, dirt and pollution as the transducer
shaft is raised. Frequent inspections, and greasing when
necessary, are strongly recommended.

154 859-164503 / F
 Hull unit - system description

Transducer dock
The transducer dock (service dock) consists of a steel box which
holds the transducer when the shaft is in the fully raised
position. One side of the transducer dock comprises a service
hatch. If the transducer is raised and the gate valve shut, the
hatch may be opened to expose the transducer for maintenance
or exchange. Zinc anodes are mounted inside the transducer
dock.

Mounting flange
The mounting flange is welded to the vessels hull, and serves as
a base for the transducer raise/lower arrangement. The height of
the mounting flange varies according to the specific installation
requirements of the vessel, though the standard height is 200
mm. The mounting flange carries the gate valve which permits
onboard maintenance or replacement of the transducer.

Transducer shaft
The transducer shaft is a stainless-steel tube which supports the
transducer at its lower end. It is supported at the top by guide
rails and the raise/lower drive chains within the hull unit gantry,
and it moves through the shaft sleeve. The signal cable between
the transducer and the transceiver unit runs up the inside of the
shaft, exiting at the top through sealing glands.
The transducer shaft is raised and lowered by drive chains,
driven via a gearbox by the motor mounted on the hoist
platform. The tension in the drive chain is adjusted using a
threaded bolt mechanism.

Transducer
The transducer is bolted to the lower end of the transducer shaft.
When the shaft is raised, the transducer is stored in the
transducer dock. during these periods the gate valve can be
closed to protect the transducer completely from the open sea
environment.

859-164503 / F 155
HPR 400 Technical training guide

Gate valve
The gate valve shuts off the opening in the vessel’s hull when
the transducer is raised. The gate valve is supplied with a
position indicator.
• An electrical actuator is available as an option.

Gate valve position indicator

The purpose of the gate valve position indicator is to give a
feedback-indication of the gate valve position. The feedback is
done by use of switches.
The gate valve position indicator is mounted directly onto the
gate valve.
It consists of a slider sliding on a threaded spindle and two
switches operated by the slider.
Switch A - is operated when the gate valve is fully open.
Switch B - is operated when the gate valve is fully closed. In the
middle position no switch is operated.
The Hoist Control Unit uses the fully open indication (switch A)
only!
The Hoist Control Unit will not allow the hoist motor to move
the transducer shaft unless the gate valve is fully open.

Hoist Control Unit

Introduction
The Hoist Control Unit (HCU) is a standard unit used with all
types of hull units. This unit is a steel cabinet with hinged front
door.
The unit is designed to be mounted on a bulkhead close to the
hull unit gantry. For safety reasons there must be a clear line of
sight from the HCU to the hull unit.

External connections
All cables to the HCU enter the unit through cable gland located
in the base of the unit.
The connections are as follows:
• Controlled mains supply to hull unit raise/lower motor.
• 7 x 2-core signal cable from Remote Control Unit
(remote control).
• 6-core signal cable from the hull unit
(limit switches etc.).
• 2 cables (4-core) to Gate Valve Open/Closed switch
(if mounted).

Remote Control Unit

General
The Remote Control Unit (RCU) is a standard unit used with all
types of hull units. This unit is an aluminium cabinet with
removable front panel.
It holds the control buttons and indicator lamps required to
enable the safe operation of the hull unit from a remote location.
This unit is designed to be mounted on a bulkhead, and will
usually be located in the vicinity of the system operator station.
This enables the system operator to control the hull unit raising
and lowering operations without being at the physical location
of the hull unit.

External connections
The RCU is connected to the Hoist Control Unit via a cable.
There are no practical restrictions on the distance between the
two units.
The connection is as follows:
• 7 x 2-core signal cable to the Hoist Control Unit

158 859-164503 / F
 Hull unit - system description

Electrical system
Introduction
The raise/lower system for the hull unit comprises three main
components:
• Hoist Motor (mounted on the hull unit)
• Hoist Control Unit (HCU)
• Remote Control Unit (RCU)
Note The technical description of the HCU electrical system, and the
connections to the other two main units, are described in this
section.

Hoist Control Unit

The HCU controls the raising and lowering of the hull unit. The
unit consists of a +24 Vdc linear power supply, main relays
controlling the hoist motor, and control relays controlled from
the operator Switch S1, or from the RCU (if used).
The main relays K02 and K03 connect the 3-phase mains power
to the hoist motor. The motor’s direction of rotation depends on
the mains supply phase sequence, and the HCU performs the
raise/lower function by using K02 and K03 to change the phase
sequence.
The HCU contains a switch S1 to operate the hull unit locally,
while a RCU can operate the hull unit remotely.
• Fuse F01 protects the +24 Vdc power supply used by the
relay circuits.
• Fuse F02 is mounted with relay K03 and it protects the hoist
motor.
Remote Control Unit
The RCU is an independent unit, usually mounted on the bridge
in the vicinity of the system operator’s console. This unit
controls the hoist motor in the same way as S1 in the HCU. To
use the RCU, S1 in the HCU must be in position REMOTE.

Power supplies
The HCU can be supplied with 230, 380, 440 Vac 3-phase
mains input. The acceptable mains voltage depends on links set
within the HCU and the type of motor mounted on the hull unit.
+24 Vdc power supply
The +24 Vdc power supply is derived from a 1-phase voltage
taken from the 3-phase mains input. It enters through the
automatic circuit breaker F01 (2A), and is connected to
transformer T01. Links on T01 must be set according to the
mains voltage supplied. Refer to the HPR 400 series wiring
diagram, which shows the links required for 380/440 Vac as
default.
T01 delivers a voltage of 18 Vac, and D04 (a varistor) cuts off
any voltages spikes above this limit. The rectifier D05 delivers
+24 Vdc across the decoupling capacitor C01 to the control
circuits. The connections for the +24 Vdc power supply are
made on the terminal block HCTB2.
Motor power supply
The 3-phase mains power enters on the motor protection fuse
F02, and is passed to the relays K02 and K03. Activation of one
of the relays will supply the 3-phase voltage to the hoist motor.
K02 delivers the opposite phase sequence to that delivered by
K03. This shifting of phases controls the direction of motor
rotation.
• Activating K02 causes the motor to raise the hull unit.
• Activating K03 causes the motor to lower the hull unit.
• Contacts 21 and 22 on K02 and K03 prevent the relays being
activated simultaneously.

Relay control
Before the relays K02 or K03 activate and start the motor,
several independent events must take place simultaneously. The
control circuit is a serial link of several switches with each
switch representing one event. When all the switches are closed
and the circuit is complete, the relay will be activated by
supplying +24 Vdc across its coil. A break in the series circuit
will halt the raise/lower action.
→ For more details, refer to circuit diagram on pages 270 and
271.
The designs of the raising and lowering circuits are identical for
both local and remote control.

Hoist Control Unit

The Hoist Control Unit contains the relays to control the
operation of the raise and lower motor.
The Hoist Control Unit is controlled either by:
• The selector switch located inside the unit, or
• the Remote Control Unit.
The Hoist Control Unit is designed to be installed on a
bulkhead, and must be located in a position providing a free line
of sight to the hull unit. it is important to make easy access to
the unit’s circuits services purposes.

Remote Control Unit

A Remote Control Unit is located close to the operator unit, to
enable the operator to raise and lower the hull unit without
having to go down to the hull unit compartment. The unit holds
the control buttons and indicator lamps for the raiser/lower
mechanism. The Remote Control Unit is connected to the Hoist
Control Unit.

This section presents the operation of the HPR 400 series. The
operation is the same for all types of HPR hull units.

859-164503 / F 177
HPR 400 Technical training guide

Hoist control operation

General
The hull unit will normally be controlled from the operator’s
position using the Remote Control Unit (RCU).
Warning When the system is under remote control the hull
unit will move without warning, so ensure; -
Personnel and equipment are kept well clear,
- the gate valve is open.
Always set the rotary switch S1 to STOP before
approaching the hull unit.
However, if the hull unit must be raised or lowered for
maintenance purposes, the HCU must be used. The HCU is in
the vicinity of the hull unit and the maintenance engineer must
have a clear view of the hull unit while it is being raised or
lowered. The engineer will then be in a much better position to
be able to start and stop the unit as required.
The HCU incorporates a rotary switch, S1, which is used to
raise or lower the hull unit locally.

2 There are no obstructions around the hull unit which could
prevent it from moving (or jam it while it is moving).

Lowering the hull unit

1 Ensure that the gate valve is open.
2 Open the HCU door.
3 Set rotary switch S1 to LOWER.
4 Once the hull unit has reached the required position, set
the switch S1 to STOP.
- The hull unit will stop automatically when it reaches its
fully lowered position. Once it has stopped, set the
switch to STOP to prevent the unit from moving in the
event of a fault.
5 Close the HCU door.

Raising the hull unit

1 Open the HCU door.
2 Set rotary switch S1 to HOIST.
3 Once the hull unit has reached the required position, set
the switch S1 to STOP.
- The hull unit will stop automatically when it reaches its
fully raised position. Once it has stopped, set the switch
to STOP to prevent the unit from moving in the event
of a fault.
4 Close the HCU door.
5 If the hull unit is to be left in fully raised position for
some time, you are advised to close the gate valve.

Stopping the hull unit

If the hull unit must be stopped at any position other than fully
raised or fully lowered, set the rotary switch to STOP at the
appropriate time.
Always set the switch to STOP before commencing
maintenance work on the hull unit.

Remote operation of the hull unit

Once you have completed all operations requiring local control
of the hull unit, ensure all personnel, tools etc. are clear of the
hull unit and set the rotary switch S1 to REMOTE. The hull
unit is then controlled by the RCU located in the vicinity of the
operator’s console.

859-164503 / F 179
HPR 400 Technical training guide

Remote control operation

The operator uses the control buttons on the RCU to raise and
lower the hull unit from the vicinity of the Operator Station.
The RCU holds the following three control buttons (with
indicator lamps):
• RAISE/UP
• STOP
• LOWER/DOWN
The unit also holds a dimmer potentiometer for adjusting the
light intensity.

10 HL 3880 MAINTENANCE

Scope
This section of the manual contains information to enable the
maintenance engineer to perform all normal preventive and
corrective maintenance on the Hull Unit system.
It includes maintenance for:
• Hull Unit
• Gate valve including:
- Position indicator
Drawings referred to in the text are listed as references, and are
located in the Drawing file section.
Spare parts are defined according to Kongsberg Maritime’s
maintenance philosophy. They are listed in the Spare Parts
section.

Safety
Working on live electrical equipment is dangerous. Refer to
standard company/vessel safety procedures before commencing
maintenance work.
Note After any maintenance work, the system must be checked to
ensure it works correctly. Refer to the procedure in the Test and
alignment procedures section.
Caution Do not work on the hull unit while the system is
operational. It may move without warning. Keep your
hands away from the unit when the system is in use.
The drive chain is exposed, and may cause serious
personal injury. Access to the hull unit compartment
should be restricted.

Watertightness test
The hull unit compartment is of necessity located in the keel of
the vessel below the water-line. Maintenance on the hull unit
must therefore be carried out with care to ensure that no water
leaks occur. If maintenance work must be performed on the
“wet” sections of the hull unit, always perform a watertightness
test before breaking the watertight integrity of the hull unit.
→ Refer to page 201.

859-164503 / F 195

Preventive maintenance schedule

Introduction
Maintenance routines must be performed regularly and
effectively to ensure that the equipment is kept in top condition.
Effective maintenance is even more important with the
equipment described in this manual, as a faulty unit could have
disastrous consequences in the presence of an inflammable
atmosphere.
The chart below states the maximum recommended intervals at
which the various routines should be performed - the intervals
should be decreased if the system is used excessively, or if the
maintenance engineer considers it necessary.

Maintenance chart

Routine Frequency
Hull unit general inspection Annual
Filling motor gearbox Annual
Filling shaft sleeve Annual
Cleaning transducer Annual
Lubricating drive chains/sprockets 2 months
Watertightness test 2 weeks
Cleaning transducer shaft 2 weeks
Hoist Control Unit general inspection Annual
Remote Control Unit general inspection Annual
Gate valve including positioning indicator Annual
general inspection

Lubrication
Several parts of the hull unit must be inspected to ensure the
correct amounts of lubricants are present. The following points
must be checked:
1 The gearbox - Oil level shall be to the top screw on the
side of the unit.
- Oil type: SAE 30 motor oil
→ Refer to the filling procedure on page 208.
2 The shaft sleeve - The transducer shaft must be covered
with a thin film of grease.
- Grease type: Esso Cazar K1 (or equivalent)
→ Refer to the filling procedure on page 223.

198 859-164503 / F
 HL 3880 maintenance

3 The drive chains and sprockets - The drive chains must be

lightly greased to ensure smooth operation and prevent
corrosion.
- Grease type: BIRAL VG/HT (or equivalent).
→ Refer to the procedure on page 212.
4 The transducer shaft guide rails - The guide rails ensure
the transducer shaft remains correctly orientated relative to
the vessel at all times. These guides must be checked at
regular intervals and adjusted as necessary.
- Grease type: BIRAL VG/HT (or equivalent).
→ Refer to the procedure on page 214.
5 Limit switches - The limit switches are activated by
rotating arms. These arms are mounted on bearings, and
are fitted with wheels to reduce friction. A few drops of
oil on the moving parts at regular intervals will help to
keep the switches trouble-free.

Special attention
Special attention must be given to the shaft sleeve and
transducer shaft. The sleeve contains several seals, and these
will wear as the transducer is lowered and raised. It is therefore
important that you:
• Keep the transducer shaft clean, and remove growth and dirt.
• Keep the transducer shaft oiled at all times.
• Keep the shaft sleeve filled with oil at all times.
If the shaft becomes dirty or the shaft sleeve runs dry, the seals
will wear faster. This will in turn lead to leaks, and the seals will
then need to be replaced.

Corrective maintenance

Overview
Corrective maintenance for the following are included:
• Hoist motor
• Drive chains
• Opening the service dock
• Lifting the hull unit
• Transducer
• Transducer cables
• Shaft sleeve
• Transducer, marine growth removal
• Zinc anode
• Transducer shaft
• Limit switches
• Gate valve
• Hoist Control Unit
• Remote Control Unit
• Electrical actuator
• Test procedure

General
Corrective maintenance on the hull unit system will be required
when the system malfunctions. The design does not include a
built-in test system, so troubleshooting must be based on the
manuals, drawings and diagrams.
Unless trained and experienced personnel are available, all
major repair work must be carried out by Kongsberg Maritime
or an appointed dealer.
Caution Neither Kongsberg Maritime nor our dealers will take
responsibility for damage or injury to the ship, system
or personnel resulting from incorrect maintenance
performed on the system.

 HL 3880 maintenance

Watertightness test

General
The hull unit compartment is of necessity located in the keel of
the vessel below the water-line. Maintenance on the hull unit
must therefore be carried out with care to ensure that no water
leaks occur.
It is important to check that the gate valve below the hull unit is
closed and watertight before any maintenance procedure is
performed that involves breaking the watertight integrity of the
hull unit.

Logistics
Safety - Refer to the general safety procedures.
Personnel - Anyone trained in the procedure.
Vessel location - Afloat.
Special tools - None.

Procedure
The procedure is as follows:
1 Fully raise the hull unit.
2 Switch off all power to the system.
3 Close the gate valve.
4 Check the gate valve is sealed by opening the air-vent
cock on the top of the transducer dock.
- A small amount of water should flow out as the
pressure within the transducer dock equalises with the
ambient air pressure.
5 When the water stops flowing, crack open the gate valve
and close it again.
- Water should start flowing out of the air-vent when the
valve is cracked open, and should cease soon after it is
closed again. This action will prove that the lack of
water flow is because the gate valve is sealed, and not
merely because the air-vent cock is blocked.
Once the test has been performed satisfactorily, you can assume
that it is safe to continue with the required maintenance routines.
Caution If for any reason there is a delay between performing
the watertightness test and starting the maintenance,
play safe - perform the test again.

6 Lubricate the chain and sprockets using grease type
BIRAL VG/HT or similar. Apply using a suitable brush.
7 Wipe off excess grease and clean up any drips.

Drive chains, tension

To operate correctly without damaging the various shafts and
bearings, the drive chains must be at the correct tension. The
chains’ tensioning devices are located on either side of the base
of the hull unit gantry. There is one device for each drive chain.
The devices raise or lower the lower sprocket bearings
independently, so adjustment of one chain has no effect on the
other.

Transducer shaft, removal at sea

Note This procedure is only to be performed in an emergency after
the hull unit has been damaged, if the vessel cannot enter
harbour with the hull unit lowered.
When fully lowered, the hull unit will be extended some
distance below the vessel’s keel. This makes it very vulnerable
to damage in the event of the vessel striking an underwater
obstruction or coming into shallow water. The shaft may be bent
or broken, or the transducer knocked off the bottom of the shaft.
The hull unit has been designed to enable it to be sealed if the
shaft is broken or the transducer lost, but it may not be possible
to retract the remains of the damaged unit.
Caution Do not attempt to hoist a bent or broken transducer
shaft! This may cause further serious damage to the
hull unit and/or major water leaks !
In this case the remains of the shaft must be lowered out through
the hull opening and removed externally.

Logistics
Safety - Refer to the general safety procedures. Note that the
various parts are heavy.
Personnel - Three to fourTrained maintenance engineers/fitters.
Vessel location - N/A.
Special tools - Deck crane.

Others depending on the extent of the damage.
Spare parts - Depend on the extent of the damage. KIT-103370

Procedure
The blind flange and threaded bolt referred to in the text are
supplied as an optional kit, available from Kongsberg Maritime
AS. Part number KIT-103370.
1 Ensure all power to the system is switched off at the HCU.
2 Disconnect all electrical cables to and from the hull unit.
3 The transducer must be lowered to its fully down position.
4 A diver must inspect the visible parts of the transducer and
shaft, and attach a lifting tackle to enable the unit to be
recovered.
5 Cut the transducer cable above the cable gland, unscrew
the socket-head screws and remove the upper clamping
ring.

226 859-164503 / F
 HL 3880 maintenance

6 Raise the hoisting flange by approximately 15 cm using

the hoist motor, and place the blind flange on the clamping
ring.
7 Lower the hoisting flange until it rests against the blind
flange.
8 Unscrew the three set-screws in the circumference of the
top clamping ring by approximately 10 mm.
- The damaged shaft will now normally fall out from the
hull and may be winched up on deck. If the shaft
remains fast in the transducer dock, it may be forced
out by applying water pressure to the valve on the blind
flange (max pressure 10 kp/cm2), and/or by using the
threaded bolt delivered with the hull unit to push it out.
9 On completion of the removal procedure, close the gate
valve.
If the remainder of the Hull Unit is not damaged, it may now be
prepared for the installation of a new shaft. The vessel will need
to be placed in a dry dock for inspection, and fitting of a new
shaft.

Test procedure

General checks
On completion of any maintenance on the hull unit, the system
must be checked to ensure the maintenance was successful and
to ensure the hull unit may be operated safely.
→ Refer to the Hull unit raise/lower checks in the Test and
alignment procedures.

System alignment
One of the most important variables that will effect system
accuracy is the alignment of the transducer with respect to the
vessel’s fore-and-aft axis. After any maintenance procedure
which could effect the alignment of the transducer (removal of
the transducer, adjustment of guide rails etc.), or if the
maintenance engineer suspects that the transducer has moved
out of alignment, an alignment test should be conducted. The
system software can then be set up to take into account any
misalignments in the system. Contact Kongsberg Maritime AS
for assistance with the alignment checks.
One of the most important variables that will effect system
accuracy is the alignment of the transducer with respect to the
vessel’s fore-and-aft axis. If the maintenance engineer suspects
that the transducer has moved out of alignment, he should
conduct the “Alignment procedure”. This may require that the
vessel goes into dry dock, so all other options should be
thoroughly investigated first.
→ Refer to the Hull unit installation alignment procedure.
