4) Principle of Measurement
The principle of the current indicator CI-68 is based on the principle of Doppler effect. It
means that the frequency component for the reflection echo coming from the water or from
the sea bottom would increase or decrease according to the movement speed of the
reflector or the sound source (Doppler shift).
The relationship between the frequency transmitted and the frequency received can be
represented by the following formula in normal cases: V: Ship’s speed
fr = f0 ± fd F0: Frequency transmitted
fr: Frequency received
Fr indicates the Doppler shift value, and is calculated by fd: Doppler shift
the following formula: θ: Tilt angle of transmission beam
C: Velocity of sonic in water
fd = 2 V Cosθ× f0 ÷ C
Therefore, the received frequency fr is calculated as follows:
fr = f0 ± (2V Cosθ× f0 ÷ C)
When you calculate the ship’s speed,
based on fd = 2 V Cosθ × f0 ÷ C shown above,
V = (fd/2Cosθ)×C θ: 75°, C: 1560 m/sec
By measuring the doppler shift value "fd",
the ship’s speed value can be found. Fig.1.4 Doppler’s Shift

When the reflection echo is coming from the sea bottom, the doppler shift occurs only due to
the ship’s movement. The calculated ship’s speed value is an absolute value found against
the ground (sea bottom). The actual ship’s speed is indicated (ground tracking mode).

2
When you cannot find the reflection echo from the sea bottom, the doppler frequency is
measured by the reflection echo from the water at a few meters under the ship’s bottom
(base layer). Therefore, the calculated ship’s speed is a relative value against the movement
of the base layer (water tracking mode).

When measuring the current, you can find the current speed and its direction by finding the
relative ship’s speed and direction for each measurement water depth, and then measuring
the difference between the ship’s speed and direction for the ground echo (ground tracking
mode).

When you cannot find the ground echo, it calculates the difference from ship’s speed and
direction at the base layer located at a few meters under the ship’s bottom, and the
calculated current speed is a relative value against the base layer.
The calculation described is used 3 beams for the current indicator. Divide the velocity
component into the components Vx, Vy, and Vz, and calculate as described below:

Vx Vcx

F2 F2c
Fig.1.5 Reference layer Fig.1.6 Tide layer
(Ground Tracking/Water Tracking) for (Ground Tracking/Water Tracking) for
shipboard vector shipboard vector

F1= (2Vx Cosθ- 2Vz Sinθ) ÷ C + F0

F2= F0(2Vx Cos30 Cos – 2VyCos60 Cosθ – 2VzSinθ) ÷ C + F0
F3= F0(-2VxCos30 Cosθ – 2VyCos60 Cosθ – 2VzSinθ ) ÷ C + F0

Vx = (F2-F3)C÷(4Cos30 Cosθ × F0)

Vy = (2F1 – F2 – F3)C ÷ (6 Cosθ × F0)

Vcx = (F2c-F3c)C÷(4Cos30 Cosθ × F0)

Vcy = (2F1c – F2c – F3c)C ÷ (6 Cosθ × F0)
Therefore, the tide vector element is given as follows.
Cx = Vx – Vcx, Cy = Vy – Vcy

3. Function
3.1 Overview
Refer to the block diagram on the following page.

The functions for CI-68/88 are mainly controlled by the CPU board (OCK) in the control unit
and the CPU control board (PCP) in the transceiver unit.
The 3 beam TX signal from PTX6 board is outputted to the transducer via the trap circuit on
the PTR board.

The 3 beam RX signals from the transducer is amplified and converted by the PTR board
individually. Then, divided into phase signal and level signal, and it is inputted to the PCP
board in the transceiver unit.

On the PCP board, after converting each signal from analog to digital, gets into the CPU
circuit, calculates the ground/water tracking speed, calculates the current speed and
direction at each setting water depth, and so on.

The calculated output data from the PCP board is transmitted to the OCK board, and is
outputted to the OPW board as the display data on the LCD display.

The input picture data from the OCK board is buffered after converting to analog signals on
the OPW board, and then output to the monitor unit with the H/V synchronization signal.

Fig.3.1 CI-68 Block Diagram
3.2 Power
Refer to the block diagram on the following page.

When the power on the transceiver unit is turned ON, the DC15V regulator is always
operated and supplied as the power source circuit on the OPW board in the control unit.
When the power switch of the control unit is turned ON, the DC-DC converter (U2) on the
OPW board is turned ON, and +12V is outputted.
Simultaneously, the semiconductor relay U1 is turned ON by +12V, then the +5V switching
regulator U6 is activated, and +5V is outputted.
The +5V generated from the control unit is simultaneously supplied to the power board
PPW6 in the transceiver unit and activates relay K2 on the PPW6 board. Therefore, the
relay K1 on the same board turns ON. And, each power transformer output is supplied to
each regulator on the same PPW6 board, therefore, activates the entire system.

The +15V supplied from the transceiver unit to the control unit is simultaneously applied to
the semiconductor relay U4. The +5V output from U6 activates transceiver unit, and also
simultaneously turns ON the semiconductor relay U4. And then, display circuit is activated
when the +15V is supplied to the DISP board in the monitor unit.

Fig.3.3 Display unit block configuration diagram

1) DISP board (06P0238)

DISP board consists of the LCD interface circuit and the monitor unit power supply circuit. The
LCD interface circuit converts the analog R, G, B signals input from the transceiver unit to 6 bit
digital signals, and outputs them to the LCD unit. Also, outputs the dot clock for LCD, which is
synchronized with the dot clock input from the transceiver unit via the PLL circuit.
The power source part outputs the power source for the display, 5V for LCD, and 12V power
source for the LCD inverter as the 12VA input from the transceiver unit.

2) LCD inverter board

Activates the CCFL for LCD backlight. The LCD brightness is controlled by changing the
inverter transmitting pulse length to use the YC signal, which is transmitted from the
transceiver unit.

15
3.4 Transmitter Circuit Operation

When the power is turned ON, the transmission trigger KP is transmitted from the PCP
board to the PTX6 board, and the 3-beam transmission signal TX1/2/3 is applied to the
transducer via the trap circuit on the PTR board.

1) When the ground tracking mode is selected

When the power is turned ON, transmit and receive signals at the sea bottom search mode
with the maximum TX pulse and cycle (350 ms) to detect the sea bottom echo.
When the sea bottom echo is detected, repeat transmitting and receiving signals at the cycle
and pulse width according to the water depth (at the direction of 75°), and then starts the
calculation mode. Once the sea bottom echo is detected, the TX/RX cycle and the pulse
width is automatically controlled in order to track the sea bottom.
When lost the sea bottom echo, the sea bottom search mode starts once again, and repeats
the same operations.

2) When the water tracking mode is selected

The TX cycle and the pulse width are fixed to the maximum value, and TX/RX signals are
performed at a fixed cycle and pulse width.
When selected the water tracking mode, a short pulse (1 time every 5 times transmitting) is
transmitted/received due to detect the echo display and the ground tracking.

3) When NAV mode is selected

Water tracking mode as well, transmitting /receiving are performed with a fixed cycle and
pulse width.

4) Transmitter circuit
The transmitter carrier is amplified and outputted for each beam when FPGA (U13) on the
PTX6 board synchronize with trigger KP which is input from the PCP board.

The +B voltage for the transmission amplifier is inputted from the PPW6 board.

3.5 Receiving Circuit Operation
The 3-beam echo signal (244/288 kHz＋fd) received from the transducer is amplified to
approx. 88 dB at maximum at the Pre and Post (2 nd layer) TVG amplifier on the PTR board,
and converted to 11.025 KHz＋fd in the mixer circuit. Then, divided into Beam 1/2/3 signals
for detecting sea bottom echo and AD 1/2/3 signals for detecting phases by being output
through the band path filter. Beam 1/2/3 signals for detecting sea bottom echoes are
outputted to the PCP board without being changed.

The AD 1/2/3 signals for detecting phases are performed the logarithmic amplification at the
LOG amplifier in the next layer, and then are outputted to the PCP board as
B1PH/B2PH/B3PH.
Each signal output from the PTR board (B1PH/B2PH/B3PH, Beam 1/2/3) is converted to
analog-digital on the PCP board respectively, and then outputted from the A/D converter as
serial data and transmitted to the calculation circuit consisted of FPGA and CPU. And then,
Calculation process is executed for the ship’s speed, tidal current, and so on according to
the sea bottom echo, each measurement mode, and the configured water depth.

8. Checking for Noise and Interference

8.1 Noise Check on the Test Display

- The noise interference check described below is executed under the normal conditions as
much as possible with operating each inboard equipment. Especially make sure that the
inboard acoustic equipments are in operation.

- The acoustic noise due to screw noise or projecting object of the ship is often generated
when ship’s speed is faster than medium speed. Therefore, the noise check should be
executed with modifying conditions (ship’s stop, low speed, medium speed, and full
speed).

- When there is any interference from other acoustic instruments within the bay or at the
quay, or when noise test is executed for operating at sea, make sure to execute the test
at a deep place (where the water depth is 50 m or more) by considering the possibility of
receiving interference echo waves from the shallow sea bottom.

- Confirm whether that interference or noise has an effect on all 3 beams at the same level,
or whether a specific beam is being affected.

- When installed any equipment protruding from the ship’s bottom such as the scanning
sonar, etc., the noise measurement should be executed with modifying conditions (when
retracting, when protruding).

The expected echo level value is displayed in Fig.8.3. Echo is detected when the echo level
is higher than the threshold. The higher the noise level is, the higher the threshold is. And,
the measurable depth of the maximum water tracking depth and the ground tracking depth
is accordingly changed. The approximate maximum sounding is shown in Table 8-1.
Accordingly, the larger the noise level gets, the shallower the sounding water depth is.

9. Current Data Check

(1) Tidal current test should be executed by the following procedure in the measurable water
depth area with the ground tracking mode. And also, measure the tidal current in the
stable area without big variance of the tidal current.

(2) Run in a way so that the ship track is drawn an approximately 1 square-mile square, and
record the data (ship’s speed, current speed, and current direction). Utilize the graph
display and the tidal current ship track display.

Direct advance
直進約１マイル
Approx. 1 mile

Confirm that the tidal current display (current speed and current direction) is stable and is
facing a constant direction regardless of the heading direction. If the tidal current is mostly
facing a constant direction, the operation is normal. If the tidal current is facing a totally
wrong direction, it might be some kind of interference, influence of the bubbles, or having
noises mixed. If the current direction is always following the ship’s course, that might be
being affected by the bubbles.

Note) When being connected any other direction sensor except gyrocompass, the error
value becomes the tidal current direction error. Therefore, make sure of correcting the
error of the direction sensor.
Additionally, make sure of correcting “BEARING CALIB” and “COURE CALIB” in the
installation menu previously.

68
11.4 Calibration Setting

1) DRAFT (0.0 to 25.5m)

Set the distance from the located transducer to the ship’s draft line. When setting the draft,
the water depth for the tidal current layer is the depth from the sea surface.

2) HEEL ANGLE (-12.8 to 12.7°)

Compensate the speed error which generates for the angle of the port/starboard side of the
transducer surface against a horizontal surface. Set a plus value when the ship is highly
inclined to the left on the port side, and set a minus value when the ship is highly inclined to
the starboard.

3) TRIM ANGLE (-12.8 to 12.7°)

Compensate the speed error which generates for the angle of the bow/stern side of the
transducer surface against a horizontal surface. Set a plus value when the ship stem side is
at the higher position, and set a minus value when the stern side is at the higher position.

69
4) GT SPD CALIB (-12.8 to 12.7 %)
When there is any error in the ground tracking speed in the mile post test during the official
trial, calibrate that error.

True speed – ship’s speed

Calibration value (%) = True speed x 100

When inputted the GT SPD CALIB value in the ground tracking side, make sure to input the
same value for the next WT SPD CALIB. If it is not set, the calibration value may be the error
for the tidal current display.

5) WT SPD CALIB (-12.8 to 12.7 %)

Input the same value as the GT/WT SPD CALIB value described above. All water/ground
tracking speed in the standard layer, 1, 2, and 3 layers are calibrated.

6) BEARING CALIB (-30.0 to 30.0°)

Compensate the installation error for the transducer.
When the installation angle is inclined from the stem side to the bow side (for +θ°), input “+θ.”
When the ship is inclined to the port side, input minus “θ.” In case that the ship is moving
straight forward without drift, when the heading is 10° and the ship course is displayed as 5°,
“+5” is entered as the calibration value.

7) COURSE CALIB (-30.0 to 30.0)

In spite of executed BEARING CALIB mode correctly, the measured true course in the
ground tracking mode is different from the course obtained from an external GPS navigator,
set this calibration angle.
In the [Ground: x, x NAV: x, x], the calibration values obtained by the [COURSE CALIB]
described below is displayed.

8) CSE CALIB MODE

To correspond to the course by current indicator and GPS navigator, specify the calibration
method and the method to use the calculated value for compensating the course.
GT: Calculate the compensation value to correspond to the track of the ground tracking
mode and the NAV mode.
NAV: Assuming that the tide near own ship is constant, offset it so tide in fore-aft direction
is constant for 10 minutes.
MANUAL: The course manually entered at NAV mode in [COURSE CALIB].

70
9) CSE CALIB EXEC
Start course calibration calculation. The choices are NO and YES.
When CSE CALIB MODE is GT or NAV, start the calibration calculation.

＜PROCEDURE＞
When ground tracking speed is measured (Water depth 3 to 300m)
(1) Press the TRACK MODE key to select the ground tracking mode.
(2) In the INSTALLATION -> CARIBRATION menu, select CSE CALIB MODDE -> GT.
(3) Run the ship at a speed of about 10 kts, keeping bearing constant. To minimize gyro
speed error, runs the same course as much as possible (Approx. 2 nm). The course
should be east-west directions.

(4) Press the [START] button in the [COURSE CALIB EXEC].

(5) Press any calibration ([F1], [F2] or [F3] function key) key to start the calibration.

When calculating calibration, “0.0” on the COURSE CALIB line appears in the reverse
indication. When running approx. 2nm after completed calculation, the course calibration
angle is indicated in the reverse indication. This value is not stored and once the power is
turned OFF, the value is restored to 0.0°. Therefore, it is necessary to select [MANUAL] in
[COURSE CALIB MODE], and then manually input the calibration result again. By doing so,
the input value in [COURSE CALIB] is stored, and becomes effective.

71
When ground tracking speed is not measured (Water depth 300 m and
after) and when using NAV mode
(1) Press the TRACK MODE key to select the ground tracking mode.
(2) In the INSTALLATION -> CARIBRATION menu, select CSE CALIB MODDE -> GT.
(3) Run the ship at a speed of about 10 kts, keeping bearing constant. To minimize gyro
speed error, runs the same course as much as possible (Approx. 5 minutes). And,
returns to the former point inversely. The course should be east-west directions.

(4) Press the [START] button in the [COURSE CALIB EXEC].

(5) Press any calibration ([F1], [F2] or [F3] function key) key to start the calibration.

When calculating calibration, “0.0” on the COURSE CALIB line appears in the reverse
indication. When running approx. 2nm after completed calculation, the course calibration
angle is indicated in reverse indication. This value is not stored and once the power is turned
OFF, the value is restored to 0.0°. Therefore, it is necessary to select [MANUAL] in
[COURSE CALIB MODE], and then manually input the calibration result again. By doing so,
the input value in [COURSE CALIB] is stored, and becomes effective.

10) SOUND VELOCITY

Select whether to execute the sound velocity or not (NO or YES). The alarm message,
“WARNING! OVERHEATED TRANSDUCER [001]”, “WARNING! ABNORMAL TEMP INPUT
[201]”, etc,. are displayed. When there is any malfunction in the temperature sensor of the
transducer, if selected "NO", the value in the temperature sensor of the transducer is
ignored. And, the water temperature is fixed to 25°C. When selecting water tracking/ground
tracking mode, there is some error for the ship’s speed. However, there is almost no
influence on the tidal current speed.
When using NAV mode, almost the same error with that for the ship’s speed appears.
Error to the ship’s speed: When the actual water temperature is 25°C: 0%
When the actual water temperature is 20°C: -0.8%
When the actual water temperature is 15°C: -1.8%
When the actual water temperature is 10°C: -2.9%

When selecting [INTERNAL] described above, select a beam to use for detecting the sea
bottom (B1, B2, B3, or ALL). Select B1 for normal cases.

3) PULSE LENGTH
Sets [NORMAL] in normal cases. When there is too much variance at the water tracking
mode, select [LONG]. When [NORMAL] is selected, the pulse width in the water tracking
mode is 20m in the sea. When [LONG] is selected, the width is twice as long (40m). When
selected [LONG], the TX cycle becomes longer.

4) PWR REDUCTION
Reduce the TX output (Reduce). Select [OFF] for normal cases.

5) TEMP UNIT
Select the unit for water temperature indication. The choices are “°C” and “°F”.

74
6) PULSE UNIT
Select the unit of the distance. The choices are “/nm” and “/km”.

7) CUR FLOW DIR

In case of indicating the tide vector, selects the vector direction indication to flow (go/come).
The choices are TO and FROM.

8) BEAM TEST (B1, B1-2, B1-3, B2-3, OFF)

When there is any malfunction is found for the ship’s speed or the tidal current display, stops
the specific beam function to determine the abnormal beam by a test. If selecting B1, the
TX/RX circuit of Beam 1 is operated. And, if selecting B1-2, the TX/RX circuit of Beam 1 and
2 is operated.
For example, when Beam 2 and Beam 3 are malfunction, possible to measure the ship’s
speed for the forward and backward direction only by selecting B1. When Beam 3 is
malfunction, although the ship’s speed and the measurement precision is not so good,
possible to measure the tidal current in all directions by selecting B1-2, When B1 is
malfunction, the ship’s speed is calculated by B2-3. And, when the value is updated to the
forward direction, the beam angle error is compensated and indicated. This test is basically
used for failure judgments and for temporary remedies. Normally, it should be set to OFF. If
not, the message "Beam test in process" is displayed.

9) LANGUAGE
Select a language to display. The choices are Japanese and English.

10) SIMULATION
Output the ship’s speed and current data calculated by the transceiver unit to the monitor
unit (control unit) and the external connected equipments with Log Pulse, NMEA, or CIF
signals. When "FIXED" is selected, output the ship’s speed value and current value set in
the following display. When "VARIABLE" is selected, output continuous changing simulation.
The choices are OFF, VARIABLE are FIXED.

11) RESET SETTINGS
Restore the setting value to the factory setting. The choices are NO and YES.
