sensor(s).
2 PURPOSE
2.1 GENERAL
The purpose of this Manual is to ensure that the Installation, Operation and
Maintenance are carried out properly in order to ensure the customer of the Subsea
sensor’s conformance to the specifications given in The Procurement Specification.
This is a generic procedure covering several different types and combinations of
SIEMENS AS, Subsea sensors hereafter called SDP-6.
2.2 PACKING AND TRANPORTATION
Avoid excessive shock and vibrations during transport and handling, even though the
equipment itself is resistant towards shock and vibration, this is only true when the units
are properly fixed and secured.
The SDP-6 sensor consists of 1 sensor body and 2 flanges connected together by a
capillary tube. A Special transport case is prepared for packing, storing and transport of
the SDP-6. Inside the box the sensor 3 parts are bolted onto a metal plate and we
strongly advise that the units are kept secured in this box/metal plate until the final
installation destination is reached.
The transportation case must be in its upright position at all times (see marking on the
case).
The SDP-6‘s considerable high own weight makes a dangerous combination if the
transportation cases is handled roughly (dropped, turned from upright positions etc).
When the unit is to be lifted from the transportation case, use a lifting crane and the
supplied hooks, never attempt to lift the unit by hand.
Due to the weight difference between the vulnerable capillary tubes, remote seals and
the main body of the sensor, the capillary tubes are at high risk for damage during
installation and handling, special care is therefore required.
