When reading through or skimming through the overall operating instructions, it is always a good idea to go from general to more specific subjects, i.e. to start with this general part of the operating instructions and then continue with the part describing the application you wish to learn about. Again, in the descriptions of the applications, read the introductory chapters before getting into detail. Otherwise you might miss information which are assumed to be understood in the chapters describing specific details.

The NACOS Platinum Operating Instructions are divided into different parts. The main parts are numbered using roman numbers. The sections of the main applications like RADAR and ECDIS and optional applications like Autopilot are labelled using capital latin letters, the sub-sections inside these sections are numbered using arabic numbers. The documentation of an application can be handled as a separate document and therefore can also be ordered separately. The structure of the NACOS Platinum Operating Instructions is as follows:

-I - G E N E R A L

This is the part you are currently reading. It provides general information which are important in order to be able to understand the other parts of the operating instructions.

2.1Warnings and Notes in these Operating Instructions

The warning levels and styles differ slightly from the suggestions of the ANSI Z.535 standard. We deliberately decided to use a three-level system of warnings in these operating instructions which is a mix of ANSI and ISO standards, and which is very explicit and comprehensible. The different warning levels have the following meaning:

This sign is used whenever quence of un-awareness or

severe injuries or even death will occur as consedisregard of the described safety rules.

This sign is used whenever severe injuries or even death may occur as consequence of un-awareness or disregard of the described safety rules.

This sign is used when special care must be taken to prevent unexpected consequences such as damage to equipment, incorrect or incalculable operation and behaviour of equipment.

Notes & Hints: This symbol indicates useful notes and hints which will ease understanding the system or speed up operation.

2.2Meaning of Safety Signs

The operating instructions use the following safety signs which you will also find on equipment. Their meaning is described shortly in order to give you an idea of the importance and the specific aspects to be aware of.

HIGH VOLTAGE!

In case that the equipment is in use, dangerous voltages are present. Touching live parts of devices energised with these voltages will result severe injuries or even death. Appropriate actions must be taken. Before starting to work, observe the following safety rules:

1.Switch off the equipment, disconnect the equipment from the mains supply.

2.Take precautions against inadvertent re-connection.

3.To verify that circuits are dead and no voltage is present perform the appropriate measurements.

4.Ground and short-circuit.

5.Cover live parts in the proximity or otherwise protect them against touching.

The dangerous voltages are no longer present.

Voltage may only be applied to components being worked on when this is expressly prescribed (e.g. during troubleshooting). Mains switches are live even when the equipment is switched off. During work always observe the relevant regulations for the prevention of accidents, e.g. German VBG 4, or EN 292. Only use suitable, intact tools and measuring instruments!

DANGER! WORK IN PROGRESS! DO NOT SWITCH!

The switch(es) marked with this sign must never be operated.

Severe injuries or even death can occur as consequence of disregard.

The sign will have amendments like the name of the person who has marked the switch(es) and time/date of mounting of the sign.

Only the person stated on the sign may remove the sign and operate the switch(es).

TURNING DEVICES!

Marked devices or devices in the vicinity of this sign may start turning automatically if the equipment is in use. Always switch off the respective equipment or drives of the devices. Take precautions to prevent inadvertent reactivation of the devices before you start to work on the devices.

WARNING! ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION!

Marked devices or devices in the vicinity of this sign may emit electromagnetic radiation that can cause injury. Always switch off the respective equipment. take precautions to prevent inadvertent reactivation before you start to work on the devices. Observe the radiation danger zone of radar antennas. See table A / 1.

ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES!

Devices marked with this sign are extremely sensitive with regards to electrostatic discharge (ESD). They may be handled only by qualified personnel who must take the appropriate actions to avoid discharges.

NACOS Platinum components contain electrostatic sensitive devices. Observe precautions for handling. The discharge of electrostatic energy into a semiconductor can destroy the semiconductor or change its properties. Before a respective unit’s housing is opened to remove or touch a board, the service equipment, Order No. 586-5011, must be used:

1.The mat must be positioned at the workplace.

2.The added potential equalization cable must be connected to the snap fastener and the clamp to a suitable protective earth contact. The cable contains a 1 MW resistor which must not be removed.

3.The wrist band must be put on. When the spiral cable is connected to the snap fastener, the discharge line is established.

4.Thoroughly grounded soldering, measurement and test tools must be used. If these tools are supplied with power from the 230 VAC mains, this supply must be protected by a fault current plug, stock No. 593-8099.

Boards and units that contain ESD-sensitive semiconductors are marked with the symbol shown above. All assisting persons who might come into contact with the endangered ESD-sensitive boards must also use the ESD equipment.
