Setting to work summary
Once all the hardware units have been installed, and all the cables have been connected, the MS70 can be powered up for the first time, and set to work.
Prerequisites
Before you can set the MS70 to work, the following work must be finalized.
•  All MS70 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 MS70 are available and operational.
•  All relevant personnel and tools are available.
Procedure
1 Do a thorough visual inspection to verify that the MS70 is ready for operational use.
a Verify that all hardware have been installed correctly.
b Verify that all cables have been connected correctly.
2 Power up the MS70 for the first time.
3 Configure the MS70 for operational use by inserting the relevant installation parameters.
To allow the MS70 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.
a Insert the physical dimensions of your vessel (length and width).
b Define and insert the location of the ship origin.
c Insert the physical location of the transducer.
d Insert the physical location of the motion reference unit (MRU).
e Insert the physical location of the global positioning system (GPS) antenna.
4 Set up the interfaces with the external devices (navigation sensors and other peripherals).
To provide correct information, the MS70 needs to communicate with external devices. All these interfaces must be set up in the MS70 user interface.
5 Verify that the MS70 is fully operational
To check that the MS70 fulfills all operational and functional requirements, specific tests are provided.
6 Create a backup with the MS70 configuration and software installation.
Once all MS70 configuration and testing have been finalized, it is good practice to back up the configuration data and software installation.
7 Fill in and sign the Installation Remarks form, and return it to Simrad.
