Setting to work summary
Once all the hardware units have been installed, and all the cables have been connected, the CS90 can be turned on for the first time, and set to work.
Prerequisites
Before you can set the CS90 to work, the following work must be finalized.
•  All CS90 hardware units have been installed according to the relevant instructions.
•  All system cables have been installed.
•  All connections have been made.
•  All operating power is available.
•  All peripheral devices that shall communicate with the CS90 are available and operational.
•  All relevant personnel and tools are available.
Context
Some of these tasks may be done while the vessel is in dry dock. However, we assume that the vessel is set afloat before you start with the "setting to work" procedures.
Note
You must never start CS90 transmissions ("pinging") when the ship is in dry dock. The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air. It is therefore very important that the CS90 system remains switched off when the vessel is in dry dock, and that no one tries to use it.
Procedure
1 Do a thorough visual inspection to verify that the CS90 is ready for operational use.
a Verify that all hardware have been installed correctly.
b Verify that all cables have been connected correctly.
2 Start up the hull unit.
3 Turn on the CS90 for the first time.
4 Configure the CS90 for operational use by inserting the relevant installation parameters.
To allow the CS90 to provide correct data, you must define and insert the location of each navigation and motion sensor, as well as the location of the transducer. Do this as accurately as possible. Additional configuration of operational parameters is also required.
5 Set up the interfaces with the external devices (navigation sensors and other peripherals).
To provide correct information, the CS90 needs to communicate with external devices. All these interfaces must be set up in the CS90 user interface.
6 Make sure that the CS90 is fully operational
To make sure that the CS90 fulfils all operational and functional requirements, specific tests are provided.
7 Create a backup with the CS90 configuration and software installation.
Once all CS90 configuration and testing have been finalized, it is good practice to back up the configuration data and software installation.
8 Fill in and sign the Installation Remarks form, and return it to Simrad.
