Connecting the Transceiver Unit to the ventilation system
During normal operation, the Transceiver Unit produces a lot of heat. The sonar room must be fitted with a proper ventilation system. In order to ensure proper operating temperature, the Transceiver Unit must be physically connected to the ventilation system.
Prerequisites
Image
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for mechanical tasks, such as different screwdriver types, pliers, adjustable spanners and wrenches. 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.
The following specific item is required for this task:
•  Suitable ventilation duct
Note
Observe the installation principles.
Context
The top of the Transceiver Unit cabinet is fitted with a dedicated adapter. A suitable ventilation duct must be connected to this adapter to allow the ventilation system to suck heated air out of the cabinet. The ventilation adapter will also prevent dust and other particles from falling into the Transceiver Unit cabinet.
Note
The connection to the ventilation system must be done in such a way that the heated air from the Transceiver Unit is sucked up and sent out by sonar room.
Procedure
1 Prepare the location and the necessary tools.
2 Make the necessary modification to the ventilation system to allow for the physical connection to the adapter on the Transceiver Unit.
3 Design and manufacture a suitable ventilation duct that can make the connection.
4 Connect the adapter on the Transceiver Unit to the ventilation system.
5 Verify that the ventilation system is in fact sucking the heated air out of the Transceiver Unit.
