Prerequisites
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. Observe the relevant rules and regulations related to welding. The quality of the welding is critical to the safety of the vessel. Welding must only be done by a certified welder.
If required, all documents provided by the shipyard for the physical installation of the MS70 must be approved by the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society. Such approval must be obtained before the installation can begin. The shipowner and shipyard doing the installation are responsible for obtaining and paying for such approval.
NoteObserve the installation principles.
Context
The Transceiver Unit is designed to be installed next to a bulkhead. The cabinet is fitted with shock absorbers at the bottom, and on the side.
The top shock absorbers are by default located on the left side of the cabinet. If required, they may be moved to the other
side. If you do this, you may also wish to move the hinges on the cabinet doors. These are also by default located on the
left side, but are easily moved to the right side.
All cables enter the Transceiver Unit through the bottom of the cabinet. Use U shaped steel profiles to add extra height. This allows room under the Transceiver Unit for transducer and interconnection cables. If necessary, you can use the space below the Transceiver Unit to install a cable tray for the transducer cables.
You may find it useful to design, manufacture and mount a bulkhead support bracket for the shock absorbers on the top of the
cabinet.

The Transceiver Unit must be connected to AC mains, and it must be properly grounded. The grounding cable is a special braided wire that is physically connected to the cabinet.
NoteObserve the limitations due to the cable lengths. The distance between the transducer and the Transceiver Unit is restricted by the length of the transducer cables. The distance from a power outlet is restricted by the length of the power cables. If required, you may need to move the power
outlet, or replace the power cables with longer types.
