Setting to work summary
Once all the hardware units have been installed, and all the cables have been connected, the SU90 system can be turned on for the first time and set to work.
Prerequisites
Before you can set the SU90 system to work, the following prerequisites must be met:
•  The system units have all been installed according to the instructions provided.
•  All system cables are connected.
•  All cable connections are made.
•  Correct operating power is available.
•  All peripheral devices that shall communicate with the SU90 system are available and operational.
•  All relevant personnel and tools are available.
Context
Some of these tasks may be done while the vessel is in dry dock. However, we assume that the vessel is set afloat before you do these tasks.
Note
You must never turn on the SU90 system when the ship is in dry dock. The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air. It is therefore very important that the SU90 system remains turned off when the vessel is in dry dock, and that no one tries to use it.
Procedure
1 Do a thorough visual inspection to make sure that the SU90 system is ready for operational use.
a Make sure that all hardware units have been installed correctly.
b Make sure that all the cables have been connected correctly.
2 Start up the hull unit.
3 Turn on the SU90 system for the first time.
4 Configure the SU90 system for operational use by inserting the relevant installation parameters.
To allow the SU90 system 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. Additional configuration of operational parameters is also required.
5 Set up the interfaces with the external devices (navigation sensors and other peripherals).
To provide correct information, the SU90 system needs to communicate with external devices. All these interfaces must be set up in the user interface.
6 Make sure that the SU90 system is fully operational.
To make sure that the SU90 system fulfils all operational and functional requirements, specific tests are provided.
7 Create a backup with the system configuration and software installation.
Once the configuration and testing have been finalized, you must back up the configuration data and software installation. Your backup will then include the operating system, the SU90 software, as well as all the interface parameters that you have defined.
8 Fill in and sign the Installation Remarks form, and return it to Kongsberg Maritime.
