2 INSTALLATION

2.1 Location of the units

The units included in the CS66 system should be mounted with
special regard to the units’ environmental protection,
temperature range and cable length.

The CS66 units are designed to operate within the temperature
range of 0°C to +55°C. However, it is recommended that
adequate ventilation/air-conditioning is provided in order to
keep the ambient operating temperature at +20°C.

It is also recommended that the area around the units is kept
relatively free from dust and build-up static electricity.

2.2 Mechanical installation

Installing devices are not included with the units.

MC50 Computer

The MC50 has to be mounted horizontally, and should not be
installed close to heavy transformers or similar.

Other equipment should not be stored upon the MC50 unit.

For 24V systems, the unit should be mounted as close as
possible to the FB200 Filter box as the cable length between
FB200 and MC50 is limited to 0.8 m.

The mounting location should allow access to the power button,
the CD/DVD and the floppy drive. It is also necessary to have
working area when replacing the air inlet fans’ dust filter.

Refer dimensional drawing showing recommended working
area, page 36 onwards.

Simrad CS66 4-channels Chart system

2.3 Grounding the units

MC50 and FB200 should have a proper ground connection from
the units’ ground terminal. The wires should be as short as
possible and have a cross section of at least 16mm2 (gauge).

2.4 Power connection

MC50 has a power switch located on the front panel.

If the mounting location for the unit complicates access to this
switch, an external power switch should be used. This power
switch should be connected to TB1 as shown on page 9.

115/230V AC

To avoid that vibration should cause the plug to loose
connection, the fixing bracket should be used to secure the
power cable.

Loosen the bracket, and connect the power cable to the
115/230V connector on the MC50 back panel. The unit has auto
select function, and no manual switch has to be set for selecting
115 or 230V.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

5.7 IP protection

Each part of a Simrad CS66 system has got a two digits IP
protection code.

The IP rating is a method to classify the degree of protection
against solid objects, water ingress and impact afforded by
electrical equipment and enclosures. The system is recognized in
most European countries and USA and is set out in a number of
British and European standards.

The first code number describes the protection against solid
objects, and the second number describes the protection against
liquids.

FIRST NUMBER

Protection against solid objects

SECOND NUMBER

Protection against liquids

IP TESTS IP TESTS

0 No protection 0 No protection

1 Protection against solid objects up to 50

mm, e.g. accidental touch by hands.

1 Protected against vertically falling

drops of water (e.g. condensation).

2 Protection against solid objects up to 12

mm, e.g. fingers.

2 Protected against direct sprays of

water up to 15° from the vertical.

3 Protection against solid objects over 2.5

mm (tools + wires)

3 Protected against sprays to 60° from

the vertical.

4 Protection against solid objects over 1

mm (tools + wires + small wires)

4 Protected against water sprayed from

any direction - limited ingress
permitted.

5 Protection against dust - limited ingress

(no harmful deposit)

5 Protected against low pressure jets of

water from all directions - limited
ingress permitted.

6 Totally protected against dust 6 Protected against strong jets of water,

e.g. for use on shipdecks - limited
ingress permitted.

7 Protected against the effects of

immersion between 15 cm and 1 m.

8 Protected against long periods of

immersion under pressure.
