Prerequisites
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal tools for electronic and electromechanical tasks. This includes different screwdriver types, pliers, spanners, a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment. Depending on the chosen installation method, 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.
NoteIf required, all documents provided by the shipyard for the physical installation of the SU90 system 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.
Context
Free bulkhead space is required.
Observe the limitations due to the cable lengths. The physical distance between the Transceiver Unit and the Hull Unit is restricted by the length of the transducer cables. Remember to take into consideration the slack necessary to lower and hoist the transducer.
The distance to the nearest power outlet is restricted by the length of the power cable. If required, you may need to move the power outlet, or replace the power cable with a longer type.
NoteThe Transceiver Unit is heavy. Make sure that the necessary manpower and lifting equipment are available before you start the installation work.
The Transceiver Unit must be mounted as a complete unit. The cabinet door must not be opened until the unit is securely fastened to the bulkhead.
