1. DESCRIPTION
ANTHEA is a new generation of electromagnetic log. For standard operation, it uses model
48 BEN 48mm flat-surfaced sensors. It can be adapted to other BEN sensors having the same
electrical characteristics.
ANTHEA includes a high and low speed alarm, controlling a visual and/or acoustic alarm if
required. This alarm can be acknowledged and stopped via front panel keyboard.
This alarm is very useful on board trawlers. Indeed, any strain modification of the net is
detected faster and in a more accurate way via speed measuring than by traction effort
measuring.
It is also used to keep a speed considered as economical or to keep a mandatory speed.
ANTHEA includes an automatic gain adjustment for optimum accuracy. A permanent self-
test indicates any possible log faults on LCD screen.

2. CHOICE OF HULL EQUIPMENT
1. According to vessel size

- Hull-fittings with valve (48.1 RVI - 48.1 RVB)
. Are used on all types of vessels
- Hull-fittings without valve (48.1 RB - 48.1 RA - 48.1 RBL - 48.1 RI)
are used on :
. 500 toners maximum
. Fishing ships not longer than 45m
. Yachts
2. Hull fitting cannot be used in dangerous compartments (fuel, hydrocarbons, chemicals).

3. Hull strength must be checked before installation of hull fitting.
4. Hull fitting must be installed in compliance with the specifications of the ship
classification company.
5. Power supply wiring must comply with the specifications of the ship classification
company.
Sensor location
The flush sensor must be installed in the foremost area of the vessel, when possible in a
perpendicular position in the lower section of the bulb on the keel line. Deviation from the
perpendicular measured in relation to the vessel’s center line is not to exceed 5°.
In relation to the port/starboard yaw axis, deviation to a maximum of 30° may be permissible
in particularly favorable conditions.
The installation position is to be at least 0.5m from echo sounder transmitter and similar
devices;
The sensor must be positioned at least 10m away from corrosion protection electrodes. The
maximum AC voltage component of the supply voltage of active corrosion protection
electrodes is not to exceed 20mV eff.
The flat sensor surface measures the water speed along the hull. This measured speed is not
equal to the vessel's true speed. Measured speed is lower than vessel's speed. At vessel's
extreme fore, near true speed is obtained, but towards the aft of vessel speed value differs.
The area along the hull where speed is different from vessel's speed is called the "boundary
layer". Its thickness increases from fore to aft. The main cause is water running along the hull,
which decreases up front. Because of the hull profile, hydrodynamic penetration coefficient is
minimum in the fore.
Speed does not depend on fouling of the hull located in the boundary layer. Therefore, the
ratio of the vessel's speed and measured speed is constant.
The sensor must be located near the bow, as far forward as possible. It must always remain
immerged (if the sensor emerges occasionally, this can cause a short disturbance which
doesn't effect the total distance information).
In order to protect the sensor against docking maneuvers, it is recommended to weld two
strips on both sides of the sensor close to the hull-casing flanges. In order to avoid
hydrodynamic disturbances, it is strongly suggested to profile these strips. Their dimensions
will be calculated depending on the desired protection.
97MU001-F
10-B
The line joining the electrodes of the sensor must be perpendicular to the vessels longitudinal
axis.
ATTENTION : It is mandatory to install the sensor in a dry area. In case of sustained
immersion, it is strongly advised to use a special watertight sensor.
For vessels with a bulge bow, the area located within distance equal to twice the height of the
bulge can be disturbed. The sensor must be preferably located in the bulge. When it is not
possible to install the sensor up front, it is recommended to fix it on a streamlined bulge.
For special installation cases (bow thruster...), please contact an AMESYS/BEN Marine
certified agent.
When the sensor is to be retracted from inside the hull, which is the general case, make sure
that the sensor location is easily accessible, avoiding costly and long operations. Cargo holds,
for instance, cannot be considered as accessible ; in this case, an AMESYS/BEN Marine
certified agent will advise you.
General rules for sensor installation
Before proceeding or drilling, etc. make sure that there is room enough for retraction of the
sensor and vital service work. If the hull plating is not flat enough at the selected area, it is
necessary to flatten the hull or fit a flattened hull reinforcement.
Welding the hull casing to the hull requires special care. For welding to a carbon steel hull,
use electrodes in austenitic alloy : 24 Cr, 12 Ni, 3 Mo or 20 Cr, 12 Ni, 3 Mo". Welding will be
preferably made in argon atmosphere.
All BEN hull-fittings are fitted with a plastic outer cap (part n°16 on drawing D0343). This
part is vital and shall be carefully put in place and stick using tightness cement during
installation. If broken, replace it immediately. A spare outer cap is always supplied either
with the fitting or with the spares.
Fibered plastic or sandwich hulls : plastic hulls are not as resistant to screw pressure as
metallic ones. Concerning sandwich hulls, the sandwiched materials must be replaced by a
solid wooden ring or the equivalent. On standard plastic hulls, a large surface metallic washer
can be placed inside and outside, under the condition that it is covered with plastic material
joined smoothly to the hull surface. Tightness between hull and washer must be assured. For
this type of hull, the inner part of the drilling must be covered for tightness by self
polymerizing polyester.
97MU001-F
11-B
For wooden hulls, hull thickness (including the reinforcement) must be less than the total
thickness the hull-fitting can tolerate. AMESYS/BEN Marine has developed systems for
different thicknesses of hulls. Contact an AMESYS/BEN Marine agent for further
information.
Anti-fouling paint must not be removed by abrasion. In certain cases, it is neither possible nor
recommended to put the sensor immediately in its working position. In this case, it is
necessary to prevent sensor (and connected-cable) damage until it is put in its final position.
When installation is over, do not forget to clean the sensor.
2.1 SCREWED-TO-HULL-FITTING WITH VALVE TYPE 48.1.RVB WITH 48.1.RVB16

SENSOR OR 65.1.RVB WITH 65.2.RVB.20 SENSOR
(Drawing n° D0342)
Steel hulls may be too thin and require suitable reinforcement : minimum total thickness must
be 25 mm.
Check that actual thickness of the hull (including the reinforcement) is less than the tolerated
thickness.
Note : Reinforcement is always recommended on any type of hull.
1. Remove the sensor from the hull-fitting and from piece (16). Remove the 0-rings.
2. Drill a 64.5 mm diameter hole in the hull for 48 sensors or 93 mm diameter hole for 65
sensors. Remember to flatten external surface in order to get a perfect bearing of piece (1).
For plastic hull, take into account the instruction § “ General rules for sensor installation ”.
Do an external chamfer (about 5 mm - 45°) for easy mounting and proper positioning of
piece (1).
Safety of the vessel depends from Installation.
3. Position hull casing (1) and use self polymerizing mastic for tightness (rubber, silicone
rilsan for example). Mastic layer must be thin. Let is harden to a pasty consistency.
4. Screw casing nut (2) on hull casing, and torque it with hammer or caulking tool. To avoid
the hull casing from unscrewing, block it with a wedge.
97MU001-F
12-B
5. Screw the four thru-bolts ref (3) into the nut threaded holes (piece ref. 2) and butt them
firmly against the hull plating in order to prevent future unscrewing of the nut. Safety is
increased if a blind hole of a few mm depth is drilled facing the bolt. For plastic hulls, it is
recommended to glue the nut to the hull with polymerizing fibered polyester.
6. Clean and grease 0-rings (11) an (12). Put them in place. Install the gate valve and properly
adjust it (with regard to thru-bolt ref.3).
7. Put the upper 0-ring (6) in place in its landing, suitably greased. Install the upper flange
(5).
8. Screw the safety nuts (19) on thru-bolt (3) forcing moderately and equally.
9. Put 0-ring (13) in place.
10.Fill the inner part of outer bush (16) with self polymerizing silicone rubber such as
"syntofer". Remember to fill only the part indicated on D0342 drawing.
11.Introduce isolating part ref (16) with force. Make sure that it is properly positioned. Check
that nothing protrudes and try to introduce the sensor from the outside. Let the mastic
harden.
12.Grease flat seal (7) and put it in place.
13.Carefully lubricate the sensor and introduce it in its proper location. Take care to not
grease the electrode.
14.Use grease supplied with spares. When properly positioned, the sensitive surface of the
sensor protrudes at least 1 mm from external bush, and the red mark on the sensor head is
directed towards the bow.
15.Fix sensor flange (8) with screws (9) and washers (20) ; put circlip 15. Connect the link
(10). Check link length : it must be long enough to allow closing of the valve and short
enough to prevent sensor from escaping and passing over 0-ring (6).
When using anti-fouling paint,
DOT NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES - DO NOT GREASE THE

LECTRODES
Note : to avoid sensor damage, it is recommended to put sensor in place just before
departure, or while at sea (in this case, do not forget to close the valve).

(Drawing n° D0343)
Drill a 77 mm diameter hole in the hull for 48 sensors and a 92 mm diameter hole for 65.2 sensors. Do
an external chamfer of 5 mm (45°) for welding.
Prior to weld in the hull casing (1) the hull fitting is to be fully dismantled and O-rings are to be
taken off.
1. Hull-casing (1) must be properly positioned, follow suggested procedure on drawing C1287. Weld
the hull-fitting to he hull. After three or four spots have been welded on the internal side of the hull,
remove the tools. Check that the lower part of hull-casing (1) does not protrude the hull, and grind
the external seam flush with the hull.
IMPORTANT : Hull-fitting mechanical tolerances are very precise. In order to avoid any
possible damage, do not heat the hull-fitting when welding it.
2. Weld piece ref (2) on hull-casing (1).
3. Weld the four try-bolts (3) on lower flange (2) - might already be done in factory -
4. Clean and oil up bearing surface of 0-ring (11) and (12). Put them in place. Install and position the
gate valve (4).
5. Put 0-ring (6) and position upper flange (5).
6. Screw nuts (19) - do not forget the washers (18) - on the thru-bolts (3).
7. Put the lower 0-ring seal ref (13) in place.

Fill the inner part of the outer bush ref (16) with self polymerizing silicone rubber. Be careful to
not over fill. Force the isolating part inside and clips it. Check positioning of hull-casing and also
check that nothing protrudes inside by carefully introducing the sensor. Let the paste harden the
time required.
8. Put flat seal (7) in place. Carefully lubricate the sensor and introduce it. Use grease supplied with
spares.
9. When properly positioned, the sensitive surface of the sensor protrudes at least 1 mm from external
bush, and the red mark on the head is directed towards the bow.
10. Fix sensor flange(8) with screws (9) and washers (20) ; put circlip 15.
11. Connect the link (10). Check link length : it must be long enough to allow closing of the valve and
short enough to prevent sensor from escaping and passing over 0-ring (6).
To avoid sensor damage, it is recommended to put sensor in place just before departure, or while at sea

2.3 SCREWED-TO-HULL-FITTING WITHOUT VALVE TYPE 48.1.RB OR 48.1.RBL
WITH 48.1.RB OR 48.1.RVB SENSOR (Drawing n° C1285/C1301)
Above fittings are in bronze (48 RB) or in aluminum (48 RA) according to the sensor material
(C1287). Those fittings are convenient for hulls not over 30 mm thickness, including hull
reinforcement. Minimum clearance for sensor retraction is 150 mm distance from inside hull.
For thick hulls, a longer hull-fitting has been designed (see drawing C1285 ; 48 RBL hull-
fitting). This hull-fitting concerns only wooden vessels. Maximum thickness of the hull is 110
mm. Minimum clearance for sensor retraction is 410 mm. A threaded cap ref (25) is supplied
with the hull-fitting in order to obstruct the opening when the sensor is removed.
1. Drill a 64.5 mm diameter hole in the hole for 481 sensors. Remember to flatten external
surface in order to get a perfect bearing of piece (1). Do an external chamfer (about 5 mm -
45° -) for easy mounting and proper positioning.
2. Position hull-casing (1). Tightness is obtained by a self polymerizing silicone rubber in

order to prevent rotation of the body when unscrewing.
3. Fill the inner part of outer bush ref (16) with the mastic mentioned above. Be careful to fill
only the part indicated on drawing C1301. Force the bush, check that the bush is properly
engaged and that nothing protrudes. Test the clearance by introducing the sensor
preferably from outside. Let the paste harden.
4. Put the washer (24) and the nut (23). The nut (23) must be locked by a conventional
mechanical system (refer to the drawing). As to the RBL hull-fitting, it is possible to add a
second nut acting as a lock-nut (see drawing C1285).
5. Position 0-ring (13) - previously greased - and flat seal (7) and carefully introduce the
sensor.
Take care to not grease the electrode.
Use grease supplied with spares.
When using anti-fouling paint,
DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES.
Attention : Red mark on sensor-head must be directed towards the bow.
6. Screw sensor nut (8). Do not forget the circlips (15).

1/ Drill a 77 mm diameter hole in the hull. Do an external chamfer of 5 mm (45°) for welding.
2/ Position hull-casing (1). To obtain accurate positioning, follow suggested procedure on the
drawing. After three or four spots have been welded on internal side of hull, remove the
mechanical system and check the positioning. Hull-casing must be flush with the hull. After
welding, grind the external seam on a level with hull surface in order to allow piece (16) to
butt on piece (1).
IMPORTANT : Hull-fitting mechanical tolerances are adjusted. In order to avoid any

destroying risk, do not heat the hull-fitting when welding it.
3/ Fill the inner part of outer bush ref (16) with self polymerizing silicone rubber. Fill only the
part indicated on the drawing. Replace the bush, check that bush is properly engaged and that
nothing protrudes. Test the clearance by introducing the sensor preferably from outside. Let
the paste harden.
In most cases, lower flange (2) is already welded to hull casing (1).
4/ Weld the thru-bolts (3).
5/ Grease 0-ring (13) and position it.
6/ Do not forget flat seal (7). Introduce and grease the sensor. Install sensor-flange (8). Screw
the thru-bolts with (19) + (18). Do not forget circlips (15).
Attention : To introduce sensor, use grease supplied with spares. When using anti-
fouling paint, DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES, DO NOT GREASE THE
ELECTRODES. When properly positioned, the sensitive surface of the sensor protrudes

2.5 LENS PROBE WITH HULLFITTING MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL
A/ INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Drill a 184mm hole in the hull. Do an external chamfer of 5mm (45°) for welding.
2. Position hull-fitting in the correct mounting direction.
The reference mark drawn on hull-fitting is oriented towards bow, it must be exactly
parallel to the vessel axis.
The hull-fitting defines the mounting direction of the lens probe.
When the hull-fitting is welded, grind the external seam on a level with hull surface in order
not to create hydraulic interferences around the probe.
3. Weld a steel pipe to back of hull-fitting.

Ø = 40mm - Thickness = Minimum 5mm
This pipe will be stopped at 50mm above maximum waterline.
4. Introduce the probe after pulling watertight cable into the pipe.
5. Brush probe bottom with watertight rubber before fixing it with its 4 screws.
Caution : DO NOT GREASE THE ELECTRODES.

When using anti-fouling paint, DO NOT PAINT THE ELECTRODES.
B/ DISMOUNTLING AND CHANGING OF SENSOR
1/ Cut off power supply of the electronic.

2/ Disconnect the watertight cable sensor from the electronic.
3/ Strongly attach the watertight cable to a rope of at least the length of pipe.
4/ Send a diver to unscrew the four fixation screws of sensor.
5/ Screw-up the two extraction screws in order to push out the sensor from its hullfitting.
6/ Extract the complete defective sensor with its watertight cable and the rope attached to it.
7/ Strongly attach the new sensor’s watertight cable to the rope and pull back up the cable for

4. TESTS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION UPON FIRST USE
Preliminary tests
Once installation is completed, a first test must be performed before turning the power
on.
Open the ANTHEA and move the Normal - Test switch (S1) to the Test position. Turn
the button clockwise to turn the device on. If nothing appears on the speed repeater, this
means that the ANTHEA is not receiving any current.
Check the battery charge, then the fuse.
When working, the log is at about 80 % of the scale in Test mode.
In case a GA120 galvanometer is used, make sure that strap position corresponds to the
galvanometer scale, that is :
E6 E5 E4 E3
- 2 + 16 knots
- 3 + 24 knots
0 + 32 knots
0 + 48 knots

Zero adjustment
When ship is motionless on dead calm water, speed can be above zero. You then
have to correct this zero shifting.
Make sure there is no undertow.
You can easily check it by putting sensor back to front to check zero does not
change.
If it does, zero can be adjusted by equalizing absolute speed values when sensor is
in normal position and is back to front. Do not forget then to put sensor back in
correct position (red mark towards ship bow).

4.1 LOG CALIBRATION
An E/M log measures speed and distance in relation to water. When there is no current, the
distance indicated by the log is the distance in relation to the bottom or the true distance.
Several methods can be used :
a) Empirical method
Using the average of the measurements of long distances covered in comparison with
the actual distances.
b) Rational method
Using the measurements of speed in covering the same base distance several times.
The device is set for the average sensitivity of its sensors in the factory.
If the first method is used, calculate the average relative error for a certain number of runs at
different times and with different tide levels, but at roughly the same speed.
It is convenient to calculate these errors in percentages. The average error is calculated by

taking the average of the relative errors. A large enough number of runs must be made, as in
the following tables :
Runs listed
by order 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Error - 2% - 5% + 7% - 6% + 2% + 1% + 4% + 3% + 1% + 3%
-2-5+7-6+2+1+4+3+1+3=+8
The average relative error is 8 = + 0,8 %

10
The correction is : - 0,8 %
97MU001-F
28-B
4.2 CALIBRATION OVER SHORT DISTANCES
It is possible to calibrate the log with precision by covering a known base distance
defined by alignment on the shore, preferably following a route defined by an alignment.
Calculating true or real speed :

Clock the time needed to cover the base distance : the true or real speed Vr is :
Dr
Vr = x 3600
Tr
Dr = Real distance covered
Tr = Time taken to cover the distance in seconds
The factor 3600 comes from the fact that the speed is measured in knots (miles per hour)
and the time in seconds.
Calculation of the log speed
The log speed must not be read on the speed display as the measurement would not be
precise enough. The average speed must be determined by clocking the time taken to
complete the distance.
A second stop watch is useful, but if you only have one, the same method can be used by
taking the times on the first stop watch as you go.
With a second stop watch, measure the time taken to cover the distance displayed on the
distance counter. Start the stop watch as soon as the first one tenth of a mile figure
changes after entering the base distance zone. Stop the stop watch when the base distance
has been covered or just before reaching the end of the distance when the one tenth of a
mile figure changes.
Do not change the speed or the direction of the boat until this measurement has been
taken.
Log speed VI is : V1 = D1 x 3600

T1
Let Dd and Df respectively be the distances displayed at the beginning and at the end of
the trip ; the distance displayed on the log will be :
D1 = Df - Dd
If the time measured between the display of Dd and Df is T1, the average speed indicated
on the log is :
D1
V1 =
T1
97MU001-F
29-B
Tr and T1 are not identical, since the beginning and the end of each of these timings are
not identical.
If the base distance is long enough to be able to accept an approximation of a tenth of a

mile, just not the indications on the distance counter upon entering and leaving the base
distance zone.
The above measurements are to be taken over several runs.
a) When in a zone where the current remains constant throughout the tests, the base
distance zone should be covered a second time in the opposite direction, carrying out the
same operations. The average of the speeds obtained is then calculated :
V average = V1 + V2
2
b) If the current is not constant, a third run in the same direction as the first will be made,
as long as the tests are made consecutively with no time out between any two test runs.
The average is calculated as follows :
V average = V1 + 2V2 + V3
4
V1 = speed calculated on the first run

V2 = speed calculated on the second run
V3 = speed calculated on the third run
Always try to operate at the speed given by the log, modifying the engine speed controls
if necessary.
Do not perform the measurements while the tide is turning.
Having found the average real speeds and the average log speeds, a simple calculation
will provide the percentage of error of the log.
The percent error is :
100V1 + Vr
V1
This error may be positive or negative.
Example : suppose that 1.1 miles are covered in a clocked time of Tr1 = 364 seconds.
97MU001-F
30-B
The real speed will be :
1,1 x 3600
= 10,9 knots
364
The average real speed will be :
10,1 + 10,9
= 10,5 knots
2
Suppose that during the first run over the base distance, the stop watch was started when
the distance counter was at : 24.1 miles, and that it was stopped when the distance
counter was at : 25.4 miles, the stop watch will have run 400 seconds.
The distance read from the distance counter will be : 25.4 - 24.1 = 1.3 mile.
Calculating the indicated speed gives :
1,3 x 3600
= 11,7 knots
400
During the second run the stop watch was started when the distance counter was at 26.0
mile and stopped when the distance counter was at 27.2 miles, the stop will have run 372
seconds.
The distance read from the distance counter is : 27.2 - 26 = 1.2 miles.
The speed calculated is :
1,2 x 3600
= 11,6 knots
372
The average value of the speeds indicated is :
11,7 + 11,6
= 11,65 knots
2
Error correction :
First evaluate the error in percentage.

In the above example, the error :
100 x (11,65 - 10,5)

= + 10 %
11,65
The correction to be made is therefore : - 10 %.
97MU001-F

Switch "TEST" on and wait a few seconds till speed display is stabilized.
Note test value.
Calculate new test value : for example :
Test value = 18 knots
18 x 10
New value = 18 knots - = 16,2 knots

5.4 CHANGE OF CIRCULAR BARGRAPH SCALE
The ANTHEA has an automatic analog scale switch over allowing an optimum reading.
When the ship speed overpass 25 Knots, the log is automatically switching-over on the
50 Knots scale.
The log will switch-over again on the 25 Knots scale when speed is inferior to 24 Knots
(Hysteresis of 1 Knot).
6. ERROR MESSAGES
Any possible fault of log is detected by a permanent self test and displayed on the 2 x 16-
digit lines LCD screen.
Possible error messages are :
- "Measure not valid"

- "Sensor current"
- "Log interface"
- "Faulty memory"
Measure not valid :

This message appears in the event of a faulty analog component, or when sensor is out of
water.
Sensor current :
This message appears when sensor is no more current on sensor. Check the sensor
(inductor) connections.
Faulty memory :
This message appears when the EPROM memory happens to be erased.
Log interface :
This message appears after a transmission fault between the display board and the
measuring board.
If any of these messages appears, please contact one of AMESYS/BEN engineers.
