A device used to measure depth of water, using short pulse sound energy transmitted vertically down
GPS
AIS
RADAR
ECHO SOUNDER
The ______ taken for sound waves to echo back is used to determine depth.
distance
speed
time
specific density
The following are components of an Echo Sounder EXCEPT?
Transducer
Pulse Generator
Recorder
Transponder
Placement of transducer must be away from ________.
noises and vibrations
the seawater
rust and other chemicals
acids and extreme heat
Switch to select the unit feet, fathoms or meter as required.
Unit selector switch
Range Switch
Gain Switch
Paper speed Control
Used to adjust such that the clearest echo line is recorded on the paper.
Range switch
Gain switch
unit selector switch
paper speed control
This switch can be used to feed the ship’s draught such that the echo sounder will display the total sea depth. This switch is also used to adjust the start of the transmission of the sound pulse to be in line with the zero of the scale in use.
Zero Adjustment or Draught setting control
Fix or event marker
Transducer changeover switch
Dimmer
This button is used to draw a line on the paper as a mark to indicate certain time e.g. passing a navigational mark, when a position is plotted on the chart etc.
Fix or event marker
Transducer changeover switch
Dimmer
Draught setting control
The two techniques or principle used in the working of an Echo Sounder:
phasing, ranging
sounds, vibration
depth, length
pulsing. flashing
In Phasing the speed of the stylus motor:
remains constant
remains intermittent
varies
fluctuates
When using phasing technique, we must always start sounding at lowest range and check for echoes.
True
False
Undecided
Bahala na si Batman
The echo may be reflected no. of times from the bottom of the sea bed, hence providing the multiple depth marks on paper.
Multiple echoes
The thermal and density layers
Zero line adjustment error
Cross noise
Aeration can be due to:
pockets of bubble due to heavy weather
slight alteration of course
Rolling
swimming dolphins near the ship
How are the vertical and horizontal lines called in a map?
Latitude and Longitude
Longitude and Latitude
Equator and Greenwich
UK and USA
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) has been developed for the following purpose EXCEPT:
support safety at sea
support efficient navigation
protection of marine environment
protection of shore personnel
Which of the following type of ship is required by SOLAS Convention to carry AIS on board?
passenger ships
cargo ship less than 300 grt engaged in international voyage,
fishing vessel
cargo ships of less than 500 grt engaged in coastal navigation
It is important to understand the description and operation of AIS because:
it promotes safe and efficient navigation
it hinders protection of the marine environment
it is not essential safety and rescue
it undermines the need for safety equipment and appliances
Australia is in what Hemisphere?
Northern
Southern
Eastern
Western
The ______ taken for sound waves to echo back is used to determine depth.
distance
speed
time
specific density
What is this symbol?
scale
key
compass rose
map
