SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The Simrad SP60 sonar is a long range omnidirectional low
frequency sonar, designed for small and medium sized fishing
vessels, preferably for purse seiners. The standard frequency is
26 kHz (triple and multiple frequencies as option), and the beam
can be electronically tilted from +10 to –60 degrees.
Great emphasis has been placed on giving the best possible
presentations on a high resolution colour display. The processor
unit is controlled by Microsoft’s Windows XP operating®
system, which result in a flexible choice of display modes for a
large range of user applications.
The signal processing and beamforming is performed in a fast
digital signal processing system using the full dynamic range of
the signals. In addition to the traditional single frequency
transceiver system, the SP60 sonar contains an advanced
frequency modulated filter system (FM).
The spherical multi-element transducer allows the
omni-directional sonar beam to be tilted electronically down to
-60 degrees. This allows you to automatically track schools of
fish, and to observe the whole water volume around the vessel.
A stabilization system is included for electronic pitch and roll
compensation.

System overview
Main units
The Simrad SP60 sonar consists of the following units:
• Wheelhouse units:
- Display monitor
- Sonar Operating Panel
- Sonar Processor Unit
- Sonar Interface Unit
- Loudspeaker
• Sonar room units:
- Transceiver Unit
- Hull Unit
Wheelhouse units
The Display Monitor is a high-resolution colour LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display). In addition to the sonar picture, the monitor
can also display the user menu for the interactive operation. In
order to ease the situation comprehension, certain colours have
been chosen to better the distinction between the various
elements in the scene.
The Operating Panel contains all necessary control functions
for operating the sonar. The controls are arranged in function
groups, which gives a clear and easy operation. Note that all
sonar operation also may be made from the trackball, or from an
optional standard mouse.
The Sonar P rocessor Unit contains a ruggedized computer,
which runs the Microsoft Windows XP® operating system.
The software has been modified by Simrad to suit the SP60
sonar requirements. The unit holds a CD R/WR unit to be used
for future software upgrades.
The Sonar Interface Unit provides interface for all auxiliary
equipment; log, gyro, GPS, echo sounder, trawl systems, purse
seine systems etc. One signal cable is used for the
communication with the Transceiver Unit in the sonar room.
The Loudspeaker reproduces the audio of the echoes for the
selected audio channel.
Note that SP60 sonars shipped before August 2003 use a
different Sonar Processor Unit; the APC10. These sonars do not
have the Sonar Interface Unit fitted. All interfaces to peripheral
equipment are then handled by the APC10.
System description

850-164575 / Rev.D
Sonar room units
The Transceiver Unit is located in the sonar room, close to the
Hull Unit. One signal cable is used for communication with the
Sonar Interface Unit in the wheelhouse. The transceiver
performs the signal processing and the digital beamforming of
the 128 transmitters and 128 receiver channels, which are
located on the four identical transceiver boards.
The Hull Unit is designed to be lowered 1.0 meters below the
ship’s hull. The transducer can also be lowered to any selectable
middle position. Note that in case of voltage failure, the Hull
Unit can be manually raised or lowered by means of a hand
crank.
The spherical 128-elements transducer allows the sonar beam
to to give full 360 degrees coverage of the water volume down
to -60 degrees.
The sensor for the electronic stabilization of the sonar beams is
housed in the Motor Control Unit, which is mounted on the Hull
Unit.
Warning If the transducer hits larger o bje cts or bottom ,
the transducer shaft may be bent, o r in worst
case it can be broken off. A broken transducer
shaft will cause water leakage in the top of the
shaft. To prevent larger leakages in such a case,
do not raise the transducer shaft to the upper
position. To prevent serious damages it is
therefore of great importance to have a good
pump and warning system in the sonar room.

Options
General
The standard SP60 sonar is a single 26 kHz version with beam
stabilization.
The beam stabilization was an optional function until 1 January
2003. After that date, the function was included with the
standard sonar delivery.
The options described below are pre-programmed into the
standard software version, and a code word is required to make
the actual option available. Simrad offers a 1 month free test
period for certain options. Note that the Scientific Output
function is not available for such a test period.
For a permanent installation of a chosen option, a new code
word will be released from Simrad when the option is ordered.
Triple- or multiple-frequency
In addition to the standard 26 kHz frequency, options are
available for triple and multiple frequencies.
• In the triple-frequency version, you can select between 24
kHz, 26 kHz and 28 kHz.
• In the multiple-frequency version you can select from 11
frequencies from 20 to 30 kHz in 1 kHz steps.
These selections are particulary useful when it is necessary to
suppress interference from other sonars.
Scientific output
The Scientific Output is designed for research purposes. When
activated, the following data are available on an Ethernet (LAN)
output:
• Beam data
• Target data
• Own ship data
• Gear data
The scientific output option may also include software for a
Scientific Data Logger.
Note that this option is not available for a free test period.

60 degrees vertical
slice
Omni/Vertical
combination
In addition to the Omni picture, the vertical slice is especially
useful for visualizing the vertical distribution of a school of fish.
In that way, it is not necessary to go over the target to see the
distribution on the echo sounder, which often results in a
spreading of the school.
System description

850-164575 / Rev.D
Stabilization system
When the beam stabilizer is activated, both horizontal and
vertical beams will be stabilized electronically for roll and pitch
movements up to ±20 degrees. The beam direction will then
change continuously according to the vessel’s movements, and
secure an optimal contact with the targets even in rough seas.
Stabilization
system
Reception
A great effort has been made to reduce unwanted noise to get a
clean and stable echo presentation. To achieve this goal the
sonar receiver has the following filtering possibilities:
FM Correlation filter
In addition to the traditional single frequency transmitting
method, the SP60 sonar is equipped with an FM correlation
mode.
In FM mode each transmission pulse contains up to eight
different frequencies, and the receiver makes a spectrum
analysis and compares the received echoes with the transmitted
frequency code. This provides a filtering effect, which
efficiently reduces interference, noise and reverberation. In
addition to giving a clean and stable echo presentation, this will
normally also increases the sonar’s detection range
Frequency selection (Option)
The optional triple- and multiple frequency selections can be
used for suppression of interference from other sonars.
Simrad SP60
10 850-164575 / Rev.D
However, the sound absorption in salt water increases with the
frequency, thus giving the lower frequencies a longer detection
range.

→ Frequency options, page 6
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
This control will automatically adjust the gain in the
preamplifiers depending on the strength of the incoming echo
signals. The strength of the filter can be selected in the menu.
Note that the AGC senses the echo strength in five fixed
directions, and use this as a basis for adjusting all the receiver
beams.
RCG (Reverberation Controlled Gain)
The RCG filter senses the noise level (reverberation, propeller
noise, etc.), and adjusts the gain individually for each of the 64
receiver beams in order to eliminate noise on the display. The
strength of the filter can be selected in the menu. With
maximum strenght is selected, the RCG will effectively reduce
the bottom in shallow water, while variations on the bottom will
be displayed.
Note that scattered fish can be perceived as reverberation. The
RCG filter must therefore be used with care if scattered schools
are to be detected.
PP Filter
The SP60 sonar is equipped with a ping-to-ping filter to give a
clean and steady presentation by reducing the interference and
noise. This filter compares the echoes from a selected amount of
transmissions (pings), and an echo has to be present in the
selected amount of pings in order to be presented on the display.
Note that in rough seas, when the beam easily can miss the
target in several pings, the PP filter must be used with care.
TVG (Time Variable Gain)
The TVG function controls the gain of the receiver so that a
school with a given size and density is presented with
approximately the same strength on the display, inside the
regulated TVG range. This can also be seen as a filter, because it
reduces the noise close to the vessel.
The regulated strength of the TVG can be selected in the menu.
Transmission
The transmitting is controlled by the signal processor in the
Transceiver Unit. The parameters you have chosen are used.
System description
11
850-164575 / Rev.D
There are 128 separate transmitters in the unit distributed on
four transceiver circuit boards. Each transmitter is individually
addressed and controlled from the signal processor. The
controlled parameters include power output and time delay for
each transducer element in order to form a beam with the
selected tilt angle.
When the stabilisation system is active, the tilt angle for each
beam will automatically be corrected relative to the vessel’s
pitch and roll movements.
Simrad SP60
12 850-164575 / Rev.D
Peripheral equipment
The SP60 sonar requires connection to a speed log and a course
gyro. An inaccurate log or gyro input will cause inaccurate
indication of the vessel and target movements.
In addition to log and gyro, the following peripheral equipment
can be connected to the sonar.
• A (D)GPS may be connected to the SP60 sonar to establish
the vessels position and provide cursor and marker latitude
and longitude.
• Simrad echo sounders (EQ, ES and EK Series) provides a
bottom plot on the catch data page.
• Simrad PI32 Net Monitoring system provides the net depth in
digits and bars on the catch data presentation.
• Simrad trawl instrumentation; FS 900, FS 3300 or ITI
- FS 900 and FS 3300: The trawl will be displayed in
correct depth.
- ITI: The trawl will be displayed in correct size, depth,
distance and bearing.
• A Current meter system will indicate the current speed and
direction for up to three different depths in the sonar picture.
• A radio buoy system (GPS type) will provide the
geographical position of the buoy(s) in the sonar picture.
For connection of any of this peripheral equipment, contact your
local dealer.

DISPLAY MODES
Introduction
This chapter describes the SP60 display modes. The various
modes represent the graphical presentation of sonar data. Nine
different display modes are generated to present the best
possible presentation and flexible choices for a large range of
user applications.

Display mode selection is made on the second menu button in
the main menu. The four first display modes shown can also
easily be selected with the four Mode buttons on the Sonar
Operating Panel.
Note that the descriptive order of the display modes in this
chapter has been chosen only to simplify the descriptions. In
operational conditions, the order of the display modes depends
on the selected gear (seine net, bottom trawl or pelagic trawl)
This is because different initial display modes are used for easy
selection by the four Mode buttons on the Sonar Operating
Panel. The order of these display modes can easily be changed
in the Sort Mode menu.
All the display modes in the following chapters are shown
without echoes.

Bow Up
When Bow Up mode is selected, the vessel symbol is stationary
on the screen with the bow pointing upwards. The echo
presentation covers 360 degrees around the vessel, and all
echoes are updated for every ping. The distance from the vessel
symbol to the outer echo ring is equal to the selected range.
The movement of the echoes across the screen are controlled by
a combination of the vessel’s course and speed and the target’s
own movements.

North Up
When the North Up mode is selected, true north is always up
on the screen. The vessel symbol is stationary with the bow
pointing in the vessle’s course direction. The movement of the
echoes across the screen are controlled by a combination of the
vessel’s course and speed and the target’s own movements.

True Motion
When the True Motion mode is selected, the picture is locked
to a geographical position, where the vessel moves around the
screen according to its present course and speed. All echoes are
always presented in their correct position relative to the vessel,
and their movements on the screen will be a true representation
of the movements of the targets through the water.
When the vessel symbol reaches the edge of the screen, it will
automatically be moved back to the centre, or to a position
determined by the Off Centre button. This position is reset to
the screen centre whenever the mode is changed. When you
select Target Track, the target will automatically be moved to
the screen centre.

180° / Audio
When the 180° / Audio mode is selected, the upper half of the
screen shows a 180 degrees bow-up presentation, while the
lower part is used for a recording of the audio channel.
The audio channel is shown with a continuous white line in the
horizontal picture, and it can be trained in any direction. The
recorded echoes are a direct replica of the echoes under the
white audio line. As the audio channel is recorded over a period
of time, this mode is especially useful for detection of weak
echoes mixed with reverberation or noise.
The information recorded by the audio channel is always stored
in the computer, even if another mode is selected. That means
that this recording will always be presented when selecting the
180° / Audio mode. Note that the vessel symbol can be moved
to any position in the horizontal view with the cursor and Off
Centre button.

270° / Vertical
The 270° / Vertical mode is specially designed for purse
seining. The vertical half slice is displayed in the lower left
corner for normal setting with the net on the starboard side. If
the net is set on the port side, the 60 degrees vertical slice will
be displayed in the lower right hand corner.
With this presentation, it is easy to keep the best contact with a
school in both the vertical and horizontal presentation, and to
determine its size distribution. The position of the school
relative to the bottom is another important information provided
by this presentation. The Catch data presentation for purse
seining is shown on the right hand side. It shows all the net data
relative to the target and the bottom, as well as all available
target data.

Dual 1
The Dual mode is a kind of “two sonars in one” operation,
where each presentation is updated for every second
transmission. All settings can be set individually for each of the
two presentations. This makes the dual mode especially useful
for optimizing settings by directly comparing the two
presentations.
To optimize the horizontal settings, use the Horizontal menu to
try different settings in the upper picture. These settings are
automatically transferred to the other modes.
The dual operation may also be used for other user applications,
where different range, tilt, frequency and other parameters can
be selected.

A thorough understanding of system functions and controls is
necessary to optimize overall performance. Sonar conditions
vary, sometimes drastically, and it is not possible to identify
settings that will provide the best data at all times. Careful study
of the information in this manual is highly recommended,
preferably while exploring the sonar’s various functions. System
operation is a dynamic activity requiring regular adjustments
and fine tuning to achieve the best possible results under varying
environmental conditions.
Sonar Operating Panel
850-164575 / Rev.D
Symbol
The Symbol functions provide on-screen graphic references for
targets, own ship and fishing gear.
(A) Target marker
To mark a target, move the cursor over it and press
the button. A triangular symbol with a
corresponding number will appear on the screen
over the target.
Position data for the defined markers are displayed
in the Objects menu.
Note that the system continues to track the markers
even when outside the sonar range.
The Target marker function can also be used for
manual target tracking as the system is designed to
calculate the speed (S), course (C) and distance (D)
between the last two chosen targets.
The Target marker data is displayed in white
figures for three minutes in the lower right hand
corner of the horizontal presentation. This function
is also an effective method for determining the
distance between two selected points on the screen.
(B) Own ship marker
The “own ship” button produces a square symbol on the screen
at the vessel’s current location when the button is pressed. The
own ship marker’s position data is displayed in the Objects
menu.
(C) Circle marker
This marker may be used to estimate the size of a school of fish
or as an indication of the size of the purse seine. To activate the
function, move the cursor to the desired position and press the
button. A circular symbol will appear on the screen at the
chosen location. The size of the symbol is equal to that of the
purse seine selected.
(D) Gear symbol
The gear symbol may be either a purse seine circle or a trawl
symbol depending on the parameter chosen by the Gear button
in the Setup menu. The selected gear symbol will be displayed
in yellow.
Simrad SP60
850-164575 / Rev.D
Seine circle
This is a useful aid in planning the shooting of the purse seine. It
is used as follows:
1Press the Gear button.
- The purse seine circle will appear on the forward end of
the ship symbol on the corresponding side of the vessel
selected in the Setup menu. The circle will follow the
vessel’s movements.
2At the moment the seine is shot, press the Gear button
again.
- The purse seine circle will remain stationary and
indicate the ideal path for setting the seine. Three
square symbols on the ship’s course line indicate the:
shooting, one half, and the end of the seine positions.
Three different nets can be pre-programmed in the
Gear menu.
3Press the Gear button to delete the Purse Seine circle.
Trawl symbol
This is a useful aid in providing an overview of the trawl
operation.
Trawl data can be set manually using the menu or automatically
by interfacing the Simrad FS trawl sonar or ITI trawl
monitoring system with the sonar.
In the manual mode the trawl symbol will be displayed with
the selected size, depth and distance.
When the FS900 or FS3000 trawl sonar is connected, the
trawl symbol will automatically be displayed with the correct
depth in the vertical modes.
When the ITI trawl system is connected, the trawl symbol
will be displayed with the correct distance, bearing and
depth. If required, the trawl opening, ambient water
temperature, and trawl-filling indicator may also be
displayed.

The Auto Tilt function responds differently with regard to the
training mode selected as follows:
Manual training mode: The transducer automatically
changes the tilt angle after each transmission in steps within
the selected limits.
Auto search training mode: The transducer automatically
changes the tilt angle after each complete search is
performed.
Position and Target Tracking modes: The tilt angle’s search
centre will automatically be adjusted with regard to the
distance to the position being tracked. The transducer will tilt
automatically in steps after each transmission.
Note If the stabilization system is activated, the beamformer will
automatically adjust the tilt angle with regard to the vessel’s
motion (even if manual tilt is selected). The change in the tilt
angle for the beamformer will not be shown on the tilt indicator.
