Frequently asked questions

The HiPAP hull unit is a retractable system that allows the transducer to be lowered out through the vessel's hull to a depth below aerated water and other sources of acoustic noise. This is necessary for accurate acoustic positioning.

The HiPAP hull unit consists of a hoist motor and gearbox, gantry, shaft sleeve, transducer dock, transducer shaft, gate valve, and a Hoist Control Unit. Each component plays a specific role in the operation of the system.

The maximum vessel speed when the transducer is lowered depends on the type of hull unit. For example, the HL 2180 hull unit allows for a maximum speed of 10 knots, while the HL 6120 hull unit allows for a maximum speed of 6 knots.

The gate valve can be operated manually using a lever or automatically using a hydraulic system. The position of the gate valve is indicated by a position indicator, which provides feedback to the Hoist Control Unit.

The shaft sleeve is lubricated with grease. There are grease refilling and level checking screws located on the shaft sleeve. It is important to keep the shaft sleeve watertight and lubricated to ensure smooth operation.
