3.2.1
Connecting the 701-DL
All Edgetech Towfish products are supplied with Hardware and Software Manuals that provide specific
connection, activation, and testing instructions for each model. General instructions are provided below.
WARNING!
Never power up the 701-DL with the tow cable disconnected
from the tow vehicle. A severe electric shock could occur. This also
applies to post-recovery, as disconnecting the towfish while the power is
still on could result in bodily injury or death.
NOTE:
The 701-DL will automatically switch off power to the towfish if
the two remain disconnected for an extended period. The power will also
shut off if an overcurrent or undercurrent condition exists. To reactivate
the power to the towfish, turn the POWER switch off and then on again.
3.2.1.1
Connecting to the 701-DL
Refer to subsection
for the location of the connectors while
performing the steps below:
1.
Verify that the 701-DL is not connected to AC power.
2.
Verify that the tow cable is properly connected and attached to the towfish, and then connect the
tow cable to the SEA CABLE connector.
3.
Connect the Ethernet patch cable to the DATA connector of the 701-DL Digital Link and to the
Ethernet connector of the computer (2U, Getac Semirugged laptop, or user-supplied). This cable
may be extended up to 100 feet using a Category 5 Ethernet crossover or straight patch cable.
4.
Set the IP address of your computer to 192.9.0.nnn, where nnn is any integer from 1 to 100.
EdgeTech configures supplied computers to use 192.9.0.99. Do not use the reserved IP addresses:
192.9.0.22, 192.9.0.225, 192.9.0.101, and 192.9.0.102.
5.
If a navigation system will be used, connect the navigation system output to an available serial
communications port on the Getac, 2U, or the user-supplied computer.
6.
If an external source will be used to trigger the 701-DL Digital Link, connect the trigger output of
this source to the SYNC connector.
7.
Connect the AC power cord to the LINE VAC connector and the AC power source.
