Installing the display
A display is a required part of the MS70 Multibeam scientific sonar. For best readability, the display must be located so that it is protected from glare, and with the correct height and angle. The display is normally not included with the MS70 delivery. A generic procedure is provided.
Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks, such as screwdrivers, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment.
A suitable location for the display must be defined prior to installation. If you place the unit on the bridge, observe the compass safe distance.
Procedure
1 Prepare the location and the necessary tools.
2 Observe the installation requirements.
a Position the display so that it is best protected from glare which reduces readability.
b Mount the display as recommended by the manufacturer; recessed in a panel, on the desktop or bulkhead, or overhead.
c Observe the compass safe distance.
d Make sure that enough space is made available for maintenance purposes.
e Make sure that adequate ventilation is available to avoid overheating.
f Ensure that the installation method allows for the physical vibration, movements and forces normally experienced on a vessel.
Note
In order to allow for future maintenance, we recommend to mount the unit with its cables and connectors available for easy access.
3 Verify that the chosen location meets the installation requirements.
4 Install the display as described in the applicable documentation provided by the manufacturer.
5 Connect the cables.
Note
When you connect the cables, make sure that they are all properly secured, and able to withstand the vibration and movements of the vessel.
