Sonar 3D-15 Quickstart

This guide will help you connect and access the Sonar 3D-15 GUI so you can explore its features. You can follow the steps below or watch the accompanying video.

Requirements:

  • A 3D sonar
  • Power source (10-30V DC, 60W surge)
  • Computer
  • Ethernet cable

1. Prepare

Unbox the Sonar 3D-15 and place it in a water container (e.g., a bucket or tank). Avoid getting water on the I/O board.

2. Connect the Ethernet cable

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the I/O board, and connect the other end to your computer’s Ethernet port.

3. Connect a power supply

Connect your power supply to the I/O board. Use a power supply capable of delivering 60W (surge) at 10-30V (20+ V recommended).

4. Boot the Sonar

Turn on your power supply. Your Sonar 3D-15 takes about 30 seconds to boot.

5. Configure your computer’s IP

Assign your computer an IP address in the 192.168.194.x range (e.g.: 192.168.194.90 with netmask 255.255.255.0).

Note

Configuring network varies between operating systems and versions. Please search the web on how to do this for your operating system. Feel free to contact us for support.

See more details in the Networking section.

6. Access the Sonar GUI

Open up your web browser (e.g.: Chrome) and enter the fallback IP address 192.168.194.96. You should now be able to see and use the Sonar 3D-15 GUI.
