EQ42/50/52 Introduction and safety summary Chapter 1

1.1 Introduction and system familiarization

Congratulations on your purchase of SIMRAD EQ42/50/52 MKII

Echosounder and Fishfinder. Great care has been taken to create this

innovative video sounder … both in design and performance.

The EQ42/50/52 MKII is a unique new slim-line product in the Simrad

Marine Line, and is available with a 10” ATFT (EQ42), 14” TFT

(EQ50), or 15” TFT (EQ52) large LCD display in color.

The echosounder system with selectable frequencies will provide an

impression of Bottom expansion, VRM expansion, A-scope and White

line.

DS42/50/52 Dual Station for the EQ42/50/52 is available in 10” ATFT

color, 14” or 15” TFT color.

How to use this manual? The manual is written for the products:

EQ42, EQ50 and EQ52, which all share the same type of software.

From hereon, these models are referred to as: EQXX.

It is a good idea if you make yourself familiar with the key functions,

menu structure and rotation of pages (screens) described in chapter 2

before you start out, and then proceed with section 2.5 Initial start-up.

For quick location of a certain term, please check the “Glossary of

terms” and the “Index” at the back of the manual.

How to interpret special marked key symbols, etc. in the manual:

+/- Either the + (plus) or – (minus) key may be applied.

0-9 Alpha-numeric keys for insertion of figures.

A-Z Alpha-numeric keys for insertion of letters.

)Emphasizes important points.

3,7 Indicates that you should press the keys [3] and [7] to obtain what is

written in italic next to the keys.

EQ42/50/52 Introduction and safety summary Chapter 1

1.2 Safety summary

Precaution The operating unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight,

as “boiling”the display may cause too high temperatures internally and

subsequently damage parts of the unit beyond repair.

Quality service personnel The EQXX is sealed and does not contain

any user serviceable parts. Opening of the unit will void its warranty.

Touching electrical parts inside may cause bodily harm or death. If the

unit is not working properly, check sections 9.8 Preventive maintenance,

9.9 Repair and service, and 9.10 Troubleshooting. If your EQXX requires

servicing or repair, call your authorized SIMRAD dealer.

Power source, fuse and power cable Check that the DC power

supplied to the unit is within the range of 10 to 32 volts. Note that the

appropriate fuse must be employed (see the fuse rating in section 9.11

Specifications). Ensure that the power cord is firmly attached.

Grounding The EQXX is a sophisticated piece of electronic equip-

ment. To reduce electrical interference and risk of electrical shock,

properly ground the unit to the ship’s ground using the ground screw on

the back of the unit.

Glossary of terms If you have never used an echosounder before or if

you are unsure of how a term is used in this manual, then turn to

Appendix A –Glossary of terms.

Default settings All user implemented data in the EQXX can be erased

by making a reset of the unit and thus return to factory default settings.

Principles of operation The scientific principles of operation of the

EQXX are explained in chapter 8. Principles of operation.

EQ42/50/52 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2

2.1 Fundamentals of the PAGE and WINdow system

The EQXX Echosounder has a multi-function screen data presentation

system. You can choose to have a full screen, or a screen divided into

e.g. an echo display and two data/echo displays, etc.

The display which is currently activated is indicated by a highlighted

frame around the active window. There are five screen combinations to

choose from:

WINdow 0

1. Full (1/1) screen. 2. Four ¼ displays. 3. Two ½ displays.

4. & 5. Combination displays of one ½ and two ¼ displays.

)WINdows 5 and 6 are dedicated for echo displays and related setup.

EQ42/50/52 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2

As many as 4 screen combinations or full

screens can be saved in four pages.

Press the [PAGE] key to toggle between the

four pages, or hold the [PAGE] key depressed

to start a rotation of the four pages.

Press [PAGE] again to return to manual

operation.

To mix and match the various echo and data displays you wish to have

in the PAGE and WINdows pesentation, you will first need to know

what is pre-set from the factory:

PAGE Scroll through the four pre-set pages to see if you wish to exchange

any of the displays with a different one.

Example of how to edit a pre-set page:

window

5window

We pretend that in this page, window 2 contains the

navigation display (highway), window 3 an echo

display in 50kHz, and window 5 an echo display in

200kHz.

You now wish to insert the “Echosounder setup”display in window 3

instead of the echo display in 50kHz. This is the procedure:

WIN Press the [WIN] key until the frame around window 3 is highlighted

MENU Call up the menu bar, and…

3,8 then call up the ECHO menu and select “Echosounder setup”

- you will now have the “Echosounder setup”display in window 3

instead of the echo display in 50kHz.

Example of how to edit a full screen to four ¼ displays:

We pretend that you are looking at a full screen which you wish to

divide into four ¼displays. This is the procedure:

MENU First call up the menu bar, and…

1then call up the POS menu - see example next page.

EQ42/50/52 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2

POSITION

WIN

_1_

POS

_1_Position

What you do now will determine

which WINdow the display you are

about to select will appear in.

Press the [WIN] key repeatedly to

scroll through the window system.

WIN Press the [WIN] key once to select window 1

-which is the left top quarter of the screen.

1Select the Position display

- you will now have the position display presented in window 1.

The rest of the windows in this page i.e. window 2, 3 and 4 will contain

the displays which were pre-set from the factory. They can all be

exchanged with new displays at your choice.

)However, the same display can not appear twice on the same page,

so in case you are trying to select the same display in a second

window, this is what will happen:

As per above example, you have selected the Position display in

window 1, but it may just happen that the Position display was pre-set

to window 2 –therefore window 2 will now show the legend: “Select

display via MENU.”

You may select the same display to appear on different pages, but not

on the same page.
