Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
It is important to ensure continuous operation of the FX80 independent of varying quality of the vessel's mains supply. The use of an uninterruptible power supply is therefore recommended.
Uninterruptible power supply units are not included in the standard FX80 delivery. These items must be purchased locally.
Several commercial types are available. To choose the best power solution for your FX80 installation, consider environmental conditions, space available, the availability and duration of the batteries, and the
power requirements of the FX80.
The minimum requirements for the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) are:
|
• |
Input voltage: The input voltage must fit vessel supply voltage. |
|
• |
Output voltage: 120/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz |
|
• |
Minimum VA rating: 1500VA |
Secondary display
The Processor Unit offers two video ports. Two displays can therefore be used to see the FX80 presentations. The display is not a standard part of the FX80 delivery. This is a commercial item that can be purchased locally.
You can place the two displays next to each other. You can also choose to place the second display at another location on
the vessel.
Any commercial display can be used with the FX80 Catch monitoring system, provided that the display meets the minimum requirements. The chosen display must be designed for maritime use, and it must meet the minimum performance specifications. You must also make sure that the chosen display supports the video formats provided by the Processor Unit.
Kongsberg Maritime may provide a suitable display. Consult your local dealer or agent for more information.
Bridge Control Unit Remote Panel
The Bridge Control Unit Remote Panel is not included in the standard FX80 delivery.
The Remote Panel provides all the buttons you need to control the Bridge Control Unit in a compact form factor. It can be mounted on the captain’s console and allows the Bridge Control Unit to be installed elsewhere, such as in an electronics
room. The Remote Panel is connected to the Bridge Control Unit with a 18 x 0.34-mm cable.
Consult your local dealer or agent for more information.
Hydrophones
Hydrophones are used with the DFS75 Sonar Head to communicate with the wireless sensors placed on your trawl.
You will need a catch hydrophone to communicate with any PI or PX catch sensors mounted on the cod end of the trawl.
If you have PI or PX spread sensors mounted on the trawl door, then you will need an additional forward-looking hydrophone
to communicate with these sensors.
Global positioning system (GPS)
A global positioning system (GPS) may be connected to the FX80. When a global positioning system (GPS) connected to the FX80, the vessel’s current geographical position can be presented in the user interface. In addition to navigational data, the global positioning system (GPS) can also be used to provide speed information.
NoteAny positioning system you use will record the vessel position, not the position of the Trawl Unit or Camera Unit.
