1.3 Principle of Measurement
When a moving vessel emits an acoustical pulse into the water at an angle, a portion of that emitted
energy is reflected from the seabed and microscopic objects (plankton, etc.) in the sound path. The
frequency of the received signal is shifted from the transmitted frequency in proportion to the relative
velocity between the vessel and underwater reflecting objects. This is called the Doppler' effect and
expressed in the following equation.

The ship’s speed denoted with V is given by measuring the Doppler shift fd of above equation.

Since the DS-30 calculates the movements of ship by

measuring Doppler Shifts obtained from three separate
directions; beam 1, Beam 2 and beam 3, ship’s speed and
course are obtained by the following calculation.
2.8 degrees (-3dB)

Vy is y component of a vector V, and Vx is x component of a

vector V.

1-7
F1, F2 and F3 are frequency of received signals. Therefore, Vy and Vx are given by measuring those
received frequencies.
The vector V is obtained by composing vector Vy and vector Vx.

Tracking mode
DS-30 has two calculation modes to measure the ship’s speed and course;
round Tracking Mode and Water Tracking Mode.

Ground tracking mode

The speed and course of the vessel and tide are measured relative to the seabed.

Water tracking mode

The speed and course of the vessel and tide are measured relative to the water layer below
transducer.

Figure 2.1 Schematic diagram of power supplies among units

Refer to the schematic diagrams in figure 2.1/2.2/2.3/2.4.

Ship’s main is connected to the step-down transformer T1 in the processor unit. AC100 V, output
of the T1, is applied to the relay K1 and a step-down transformer T1 in the display unit.
The transformer T1 in the display unit converts AC100 V into AC12 V. AC12 V is rectified to +12
V, and applied to the relay K1 through the power switch of the display unit. When turn the power
switch on, the relay K1 in the display unit is activated by the +12 V, so that AC100 V is supplied
to the +12 V regulator U2 and +5/+12 V regulator U1 in parallel.

The +12 V, generated by the regulator U1 in the display unit, activates the MOS relay U1 on the
MTB board in the processor unit. And the MOS relay U1 activates the relay K1 in the processor
unit in order to turn the processor unit on.

The transceiver unit activates when the AC100 V is supplied from transformer through the relay
K1 in the processor unit.

The +12 V, generated by the processor unit, activates the relay circuits in both distribution unit
and rate-of-turn gyro so as to turn on.
When the distribution unit is turned on, AC100 V, output of the transformer in the distribution unit,
is supplied to the digital display unit “DS-351” through the relay K1.

The LCD display unit “DS-350” receives power supply AC12 V from the processor unit.

Figure 2.5 Block diagram of display unit DS-300

The display unit consists of LCD unit, Inverter boards for back lighting, LPU board, LSU board,
Switching regulators U1/U2, thermistors RT1/RT2, back-up battery, and buzzer.

There are two types of the LCD unit in the field, one is “LQ10D011” type and the other is
“NL6448AC33-27” which is the replacement of the “LQ10D011”.

The “LQ10D011” has 8 fluorescent lamps for back lighting. These fluorescent lamps are driven
by the LBL boards; 66P3302A and 66P3302B. The LBL board 66P3302A has a inverter and two
driver circuits, and the LBL board 66P3302B has two driver circuits. The inverter circuit of the
66P3302A generates signal to the driver circuit on the both 66P3302A and 66P3302B boards.
The LCD “NL6448AC33-27” has two fluorescent lamps which are driven by the LBL board
“66P3302-11A for back-lighting.

Note: Three PC boards, 669P3910, 66P3911, and 02P6245 were added to the display unit for
the new LCD type “NL6448AC33-27”, when the LCD type was changed at Dec. 1999.

Two thermal switches, RT1 and RT2, detect internal temperature in the display unit. When the
internal temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the RT1 activates the FAN “B1” to lower the
temperature. When the internal temperature exceeds 80 degrees, the RT2 turns on, so that error
“020” appears on the screen.

Figure 2.6 shows a block diagram of the LSU and LCP boards.

Figure2.6 Block diagram of LSU/LCP board

Function of LSU board

The LSU board receives CPU communication data (RD) and echo data from the processor unit,
and outputs those data to the LCP board. The LSU board also outputs the key and menu
settings
, received from the LCP board, to the processor unit. The operational panel is connected to the
LSU board by serial data line, and the data received from the operational panel are converted
into parallel data on the LSU board, and then sent to the LCP board.

The LSU board has buffer circuit, which transfer the data from the processor unit to the
sub-display unit. The sub-display unit has the same components as the main display unit, but the
setting of the dipswitch S1 #1 on the LCP board differs (refer to the page 4-1).

The AC12 V, converted from AC100 V, is monitored by watch-dog circuit (U17) on the LSU board.
When the AC 12 V drops, the LSU board generates interrupt signal to the CPU on the LCP board
so as to back up the data onto the memory (EEPROM).

Function of LCP board

The LCP board consists of the CPU circuit, graphics display control circuit (GDC), color pallet,
and EEPROM.
The LCP board outputs graphical data and echo data to the TFT LCD in accordance with the
display mode set on the operational panel.

The LCP board also sends operational settings to the MCP board in the processor unit through
the LSU board.

Parameters such as ship’s data and offset data set in the menu are memorized by the EEROM,
and other data are stored in the SRAM, which is backed-up by a Lithium battery “Maxell ER6K.
3.6V”.
Note: When the voltage of the Lithium battery drops to 2.5V, NG is shown on the self-test screen.

Figure 2.7 Block diagram of transmission circuit

Three transmission circuits of which outputs are connected to the transducer are provided on the
NTX board. Each circuit consists of driver, power amplifier, and transmission voltage/current
detector circuits.

The transmission circuit is triggered by a MKP signal generated by the CPU on the MCP board in
the processor unit. The MKP signal is applied to the Gate of U4 on the NTX board in the
transceiver unit, as shown in Figure 3.7, modulated by the carrier signal “440 kHz” generated
by the oscillator U7 on the NTX board, and then applied to the driver circuits of the transmission
amplifier circuits.

The Vcc voltage (+12 V) for the driver circuit is supplied by the control circuit, which consists of
the Q3/Q6 and U12. The Vcc voltage is automatically reduced when the water depth in

2-11
ground-tracking mode becomes less than 3m, and also removed when over voltage is detected
by the transmission output voltage detector circuit.

Transmission pulse length and cycle are self-controlled by the CPU on the MCP board in
accordance with the depth in ground tracking mode, but those are constant in water tracking
mode. To detect the bottom and display the echo signal on screen, the CPU on the MCP board
generates a specified transmission pulse at every 10 second independently of the tracking mode
and depth. The output voltage of each transmission amplifier is 240 + 20 Vpp, which are
measured at TP1 and TP2, TP3 and TP4, TP5 and TP6.

Self-transmission mode
The transceiver unit has a self-transmission mode for the test of the transceiver unit; turn the
power on while pressing down the switch S1 on the NCP board.
When this function is on, the NCP board generates a transmission trigger instead of the MCP
board. In the self-transmission mode, the transmission output voltage and pulse length are
determined according to the setting of the rotary switches S4 and S5.

2.2.4 Receiving
Receiving in the transceiver unit
Refer to the block diagram shown in figure 2.8.
The signals received by each directional transducer are applied to each three identical amplifier
on the NPR board through the NTX board individually. Each receiving amplifier consists of AGC
amplifier, mixer, and HGA (high gain amp.) /LGA (low gain amp.) log-amplifiers. The HGA
amplifier has of pre and post stages of log-amplifier. The output signal of the LGA amplifier is
mixed with the output signal of the pre-stage of the HGA amplifier in order to obtain the echo
level signal with wide dynamic range. And the post-stage of HGA amplifier outputs a carrier
signal, which contains “Doppler shift” frequency “fd “. The AGC amplifier and mixer circuits are
connected to the HGA amplifier. The AGC amplifier feedbacks signal, when the strong signal is
received, to prevents saturation, and the mixer circuit converts the frequency of the received
signal “ 440 + fd kHz” into IF frequency “ 115 + fd kHz”.
Both echo level signal and carrier signal from three amplifiers are sent to the MLG board in the
processor unit.

Receiving in the processor unit

On the MLG board, echo level signals of each beam are first multiplexed so that parallel three
signals are converted into serial one signal, and then converted into 8-bit digital echo data by the
A/D converter. The 8-bit digital echo data is sent to the CPU on the MCP board to detect the
bottom, and display the echo signal on the display unit.
The echo carrier signal on the MLG board is mixed with a second local carrier signal “127.5 kHz”
to generate “ 12.5 + fd kHz” signal, and sent to the MFT board.

Figure 2.9 Signal flow in processor unit

In the processor unit, MCP, MFT, MKL, and MIF boards has own CPU control circuit, and all
CPU are connected through a data bus line. The CPU on the MCP board controls other CPUs
and communicates with the CPUs in the display unit and transceiver unit.
Echo carrier signals from the MLG board are converted into digital data on the MFT board and
applied to the CPU on the MFT board. When the echo gate pulse “EG” sent from the MCP board
is obtained, the CPU on the FLT board counts the frequency of the carrier signal, and calculates
the ship’s speed, then send to the MCP board.
The MCP board averages, smoothes, and compensates the ship’s speed data according to the
menu settings and then sends it to the MKL board. The CPU on the MKL board predicts
response time; how fast the ship’s speed Increase or decrease, and then compensates the
speed data by the “Kalman Filter”, and sent back to the MCP board.
The MCP board outputs ship’s speed data to the display unit, distribution unit, and digital
indicator DS-30 through the data bus lines.
The MIF board receives heading, L/L, time, wind direction/speed, engine rpm, KP for IR, and
angular speed data of the rate of turn gyro, from external equipment and outputs them to the
MCP board. The MIF board converts the ship’s speed data, sent from the MCP board, into the

2-14
log pulses, NMEA/CIF format data, and outputs it to the external equipments. Also the MIF board
receives the echo data from the MCP board through the CPU data bus and outputs it to the
display unit together with start and clock signals using three serial lines.

 2.2.6 Function of Rate of Turn Gyro

The rate of turn gyro DS-340 consists of an optical fiber gyro (HOFG-1H), RIF board (66P3350),
switching regulator (FAW-12), hour meter, and a relay.
The optical fiber gyro, black box type, consists of fiber electronics, fiber optics and a laser LED.
The angular speed of the vessel detected by the optical fiber gyro is delivered to the MIF board
through the RIF board in the DS-340.

Figure 2.11 How to measure speed by rate of turn gyro

The ship’s speed at any position on the ship’s centerline is given by the equation shown in the
figure 2.11.
Vbx and Vby are the lateral and longitudinal ship’ speed at the position of the transducer.
Vsx and Vsy are the lateral and longitudinal ship’s speed which must be calculated in
accordance with angler speed generated by the rate of turn gyro.
“∆X” is the lateral distance between the transducer and measuring point.
“∆Y” is the longitudinal distance between the transducer and measuring point.
“ω” is angler speed given by the rate of turn gyro.
Vbx/Vby are given by the calculation of the Doppler shift and ∆X/ ∆Y are given by the settings of
the “Ship Data Menu”. The DS-30 can measure the speed at any point on the centerline of the
ship, when the angler speed data is obtained.

Following shows the differences of display indication between with and without the rate of turn
gyro.

A: Ship’s speed at the center of the ship.
B: Course of the center of the ship.
C: Transverse speed at bow.
D: Longitudinal speed at center.
E: Transverse speed at stern. C
D

2. Without Rate of Turn Gyro E

All indications of A to E display the movement

of the transducer.

Caution
The offset value of the rate of turn gyro is detected and memorized at power-up.
Therefore, if the unit is turned on while the ship is moving, the angular speed of moving is
memorized as an offset value.

Miscellaneous
The life of laser LED is approximately 17,540 hours.
Note: This is the minimum time of normal operation of the rate of turn gyro.
The hour meter is set for 60 Hz ship’s main in factory, so it must be reset to 50 Hz if necessary.

2.2.7 Distribution Unit

The distribution unit consists of the OCP, OAD, OAC, OAV, ODD, OLG, and OTX boards.
The OCP board is always fitted in the distribution unit as standard supply. But the other PC
boards are provided in accordance with the specification of the configuration of external
indicators.
The OCP board receives the ship’s speed data from the MCP board, and LOGARARM signal
and 400 ppm log pulses from the MIF board through the MCN board in the processor unit.
All signals received by the OCP board are outputted to the plugs, J1 to J8, of the OMB board in
parallel.
The OCP board generates the dummy speed signals for the other interface boards when the
dummy speed output is selected by the dipswitch S1 #1/#2/#3 on the OCP board.

Note
1. The rotary encoder switch S1 selects the signal at the test point TP5 on the MCP board.
2. Sound speed is corrected in accordance with a water temperature measured by a
thermistor in the transducer.
3. Angular speed measured by the rate of turn gyro contains an error specific to latitude.
For example, the error converted to ship’s speed is 0.02 kt in transverse speed at north
35 degrees. The DS-30 corrects this error by a latitude data fed by nav-sensor.
4. Smoothing applied to ship’s speed data output.
5. Gyrocompass reading contains an error which is given as a function of ship’s speed and
latitude. The DS-30 corrects this error referring to correction table in memory.
Gyrocompass installed on vessels of 500 tons or more may correct the error by
themselves. In that case, do not set this switch to ON.

5.3 Noise Check

Checking External Noise and Interference

External noise level can be measured without transmission on the continuous test screen.

External Noise Check

1. Preparation

1) Remove 3A fuse in the transceiver unit.

2) Display the continuous check screen.
3) Set the TVG to OFF by operating the MODE key.
4) Set the depth range at maximum by operating the DEPTH RANGE key.

2. Check at Mooring

1) Adjust the SHIFT (echo gain) by operating the TRACKBALL and note the SHIFT
reading when the color of noise in the echo data window changes from background
color to blue.
2) The reading is normally 7 or higher. If it is less than 7, noise is excessive.

3. Check at Cruising

1) Set SHIFT to the value obtained at step 1, "check at mooring", and run the ship at
various speeds.

2) Observe three beams in the echo test window. Noise is displayed by one of the 16
colors shown below depending on the intensity, Changing color one gradation
means double the noise level.

Black (lowest) blue light blue cyan light cyan light green
green yellow green yellow-orange orange vermilion red
reddish brown brown dark brown (highest)

3) Confirm that the noise level is almost the same on all three beams and periodic pulse
noise does not appear.

4) If the color changes more than 4 gradations compared to that at mooring, noise is
excessive.

5-25
Interference Check

Perform this check at a location where the depth is deeper than 50 meters (preferably
about 100 meters) and no other ships are in the vicinity.

1. Set the SHIFT to the value noted at "Check at Mooring".

2. At a depth 50 meters or more, operate other electronics onboard a ship one by one,
observing the echo check window.
3. When the unit is interfered, multiple strings are displayed.
4. Put back the 3A fuse for normal operation.
5. Turn off all ultrasonic equipment (echo sounder, etc.).
6. Operate the DS-30 in the ground tracking mode. Confirm that the ship's speed and
direction readout is accurate.
7. Observing the display, turn on the ultrasonic equipment one by one with their output
power and pulse length maximum.
8. When DS-30 is interfered, ship's speed and course indication changes abnormally.
5. To eliminate the interference caused by the transmission signal of onboard ultrasonic
equipment, connect the TX trigger pulse (KP) line of the equipment to the processor
unit.

5.7 Ship’s Data Setting
Ship’s data menu must be set after installation. It locates in the system menu.
[Turn the power switch on while pressing the MENU key, and select Ship Data Menu.]

There are two data input pages, one is bow reference and the other is stern reference. Enter
the ship’s data on either page, since the other page is automatically set using entered data.

5-39
L2 determines the position of the yellow circle on the own ship mark in the berthing mode.

When enter marker line in the berthing mode, the marker line is putted corresponding to
the berth echo on the main radar screen. Since the small circle displayed on the marker
line shows nearest position at the berth from ship (yellow circle), the yellow circle must
be the position of the main radar antenna.

Loa, L1, L3, and L4 determine the positions where the transverse speed is measured, when
the rate of turn gyro is connected.
The L5 and L6 are required when the speed and course data of the NAV sensor are used to
calculate the current speed and direction.
D1 and D2 are required when external trigger pulse (EXT KP 1/2) from other acoustic
equipment are connected to the DS-30 for the interference rejection. When the function of
interference rejection is set to on with the dipswitch S3 #7/#8, the MFT board rejects the
signal which corresponds to the EXT KP.

D1 and D2 compensate the delay time caused by the distance between the transducers of
the DS-30 and echo sounder.
