Prerequisites for cable installation
Correct wiring is crucial for the operational performance of the MS70. Electrical connections can only be made by skilled personnel (ship electricians, technicians or engineers). The installation shipyard must prepare detailed drawings of the electrical system, and identify each cable. Observe the basic cable requirements.
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for cable installation, such as different screwdriver types, pliers, a cable stripper and a soldering iron. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment. Depending on the tasks at hand, additional tools may be required.
Refer to the cable plans and the list of cables. Detailed information about cable specifications, termination and connectors are provided in the relevant cable drawings. Unless otherwise specified, all cables are provided with the MS70 delivery. In order to ease the access for maintenance purposes, and to allow for vibration, make sure that some slack is provided for each cable.
Note
All electronic installations and corresponding wiring must be in accordance with the vessel's national registry and corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society. If no such guidelines exist, we recommend that Det Norske Veritas (DNV GL) Report No. 80-P008 "Guidelines for Installation and Proposal for Test of Equipment" is used as a guide.
Only skilled and authorized personnel can install the MS70 cables.
Kongsberg Maritime will not accept any responsibility for errors, malfunctions or damage to system or personnel caused by improper wiring.
