Visual inspection of the Transceiver Unit
A visual inspection of the transceiver is required to verify that the unit has not been physically damaged during the installation.
Prerequisites
The SU90 system hardware units are installed as specified in this manual. You need the following test equipment:
•  Multimeter
Procedure
1 Make sure that the Transceiver Unit is installed in the correct location, and that it is suitably oriented for easy maintenance and replacement of parts.
2 Make sure that the Transceiver Unit is fully populated with all the circuit boards and modules mounted.
3 Make sure that the physical installation of the unit has been completed.
a Make sure that the cabinet door can be fully opened for unrestricted access.
b Make sure that ample space is provided around the unit to allow for maintenance and replacement of parts.
c Make sure that the bolts, screws or studs that have been used are all of the correct size.
d Make sure that the correct flat and shake-proof washers have been used.
e Make sure that all the nuts have been tightened properly.
f Make sure that the welds and support brackets to which the unit is fastened are substantial enough to hold the it securely under all operating conditions.
g Make sure that all welds and brackets have been painted with the correct preservation medium to prevent corrosion.
4 Make sure that the unit is not physically damaged, and that the surfaces and paint-work are clean without dents or scratches.
The physical handling during the installation may have caused some minor scratches to the surfaces or paint-work. This can be accepted. However, if rough handling has caused serious damage, this must be recorded with a written statement and necessary photos, so that corrective actions can be made.
5 Make sure that the unit is firmly connected to ship's ground.
a Make sure that the unit is securely connected to the ship's ground with an earthing strap. The strap must be in addition to any incidental electrical contact made by the mounting lugs on the unit.
b Use a standard multimeter to check that the resistance between the unit and the ship's ground is approximately 0 (zero) Ω.
6 Make sure that cable installation has been completed.
a Make sure that all cables leading to and from the unit have been properly mounted and secured.
b Make sure that enough slack has been provided on each cable to allow for maintenance and replacement.
7 Make sure that the unit has been identified with the relevant product label(s), and that one label includes the part and serial numbers.
