High voltage safety warning

Precautionary measures

The voltages used to power this equipment
are potentially lethal. Even 110 volts can kill.
Whenever possible, the following
precautionary measures must be taken before
any work is carried out inside the equipment:

S Switch off all high-voltage power supplies.
S Check the operation of any door interlocks

and any other safety devices.

S Completely discharge all high-voltage

capacitors.

It should be noted that interlocks and safety
devices are normally located only at regular
access points, and high voltages may be
exposed during dismantling.

Never work alone on high-voltage
equipment!

First aid in the event of
electric shock

Normally, even a high voltage electric shock
will not kill instantly. The victim can still be
revived even when his breathing and
heart-beat have ceased.

Could YOU save someone’s life?
In the event of electric shock, the correct

actions, performed quickly may well save the
victim’s life. Make sure you know what to
do!

Immediate action

While shouting for help, remove the source of
power from the victim. Switch off the supply
if possible, or using a dry, non-conductive
material (rubber gloves, broom handle etc.) to
insulate yourself, separate the victim from the
source. If the voltage exceeds 1000 volts,
switch off the supply and be ready to catch
the victim. Take care- do not become a victim
yourself.

Commence first aid on the spot. Continue to
shout for assistance till someone arrives.

1 Lay the victim flat on his back and loosen

any tight clothing (collar, tie, belt etc.).

2 Open his mouth and check for and remove

any false teeth, chewing gum etc.

3 Check if the victim is breathing. If not,

check if his heart is beating. The pulse is
normally easily found in the main arteries
of the neck, either side of the throat, up
under the chin.

If his heart is beating but he is not breathing,
commence artificial respiration. If the
victim’s heart is not beating, commence
external cardiac massage (ECM). Continue to
shout for assistance till someone arrives.

External cardiac massage

1 Kneel beside the victim. Place the heel of

one hand in the centre of his chest, at a
position half way between the notch
between the collar-bones at the top of his
chest, and the dip i n the breast-bone at the
base of his rib cage. Place the other hand
on top of the first.

2 Keeping the arms straight and using your

entire weight, press down rapidly so that
the breast bone is depressed four- five cm,
then release the pressure. Repeat
rhythmically at a rate of one cycle per
second. This will be hard work, but keep
going. His life depends on YOU. Do not
worry about breaking his ribs - these will
heal if he survives.

II

851-160085 / B

Artificial respiration

1 Kneel besides the victim’s head. Place one

hand under his neck and lift, allowing his
head to fall back. This will lift his tongue
and open the air passage in his throat.

2 Place the palm of the hand on his forehead

to maintain the ”chin-up” position.

3 Using the index finger and thumb of the

same hand, pinch the victim’s nostrils
closed. Open his mouth.

4 Take a deep breath and cover his mouth

with yours. Blow steadily into his lungs to
expand his chest. Remove your mouth
from his to allow the air t o escape from his
chest. You should be able to see his chest
deflate.

5 Repeat the ”inflation-deflation” cycle at a

rate of about 12 cycles per minute till the
victim begins to breath normally again.

Combining ECM and artificial
respiration

If you are alone, perform one cycle of
artificial respiration for every five cycles of
ECM. This will be hard work, but keep going.
His life depends on you!

If there are other people available to help, one
should perform the ECM while one performs
the artificial respiration for every five cycles
of ECM. It will be much more efficient with
two people.

Once the victim’s heart is beating and he is
breathing, roll him onto his side and support
him in that position. As consciousness returns
he may vomit, and this will allow any liquid
to drain out of his mouth.

Remove the victim to a hospital as soon as
possible, but do not interrupt the artificial
respiration and ECM cycles till his heart beat
and breathing returns.

If started quickly and performed correctly, the
resuscitation methods described will keep a
sufficient volume of oxygenated blood
flowing trough the victims body to allow full
recovery.

Proficiency i n the resuscitation methods can
only be achieved trough training. All
personnel concerned should attend courses on
a regular basis. Remember, someone’s life
could depend on you.

Do you know what to do?

1 INSTALLATION DOCUMENT

This installation manual will act as an installation document for
later updating and service on the sonar, and must therefore be
stored on board the vessel into which the equipment is to be
installed.

To ensure the best possible result of the installation, it is important
that each procedure is carefully followed. Each listed procedure
comprises squares for t icking off while proceeding in the
procedure. In addition to be a sign that the procedure is followed,
this will also be a good guidance for the installer.

Note that the installer becomes fully responsible for the
equipment during the installation, and that the guarantee only is
covered when the installation is made in full accordance with this
installation manual.

2 SUPPLY CONDITIONS

2.1 General

This manual describes the installation for both the SD 570 and the
SE 570 sonars. The only difference between these sonars is the
angle to which the transducer can be tilted. The SD 570
transducer can be tilted to - 90_, while the SE 570 transducer is
limited to - 45_. All units for the SD 570 and SE 570 have the same
physical size.

The Hull Unit uses an installation trunk which is equal to the old
Simrad SL and SX installation trunks. The Hull Unit can therefore
easily be mounted in an old SL or SX trunk. As an option, an
adapter flange can be delivered for mounting the Hull Unit in an
old SK, SB or SQ trunk. Note that the trunk is not included in the
standard delivery, but can be ordered as an option (see chapter 2.3

Options ).

2.4 Installation procedures

The installation of the standard SD 570 / SE 570 Sonar systems
includes the following stages:

The installation of the standard SP 270 Sonar system includes the
following stages:

• Mounting the Installation Trunk

• Mounting the Hull Unit

• Mounting the Transceiver Unit

• Mounting the Sonar Control Unit

• Cabling

• Start- Up

• Final Test

Refer to the cable plan, the main interconnection diagrams and the
outline dimensions drawings of the units.

2.5 Equipment responsibility

Upon receipt of the equipment, the installation shipyard and/or
the dealer automatically becomes fully responsible for the
equipment unless otherwise is stated in the contract. This
responsibility covers the storage period before the installation, the
actual installation, commissioning, and the period between the
commissioning and the acceptance of the equipment by the end
user (normally the owner of the vessel into which the equipment
is to be installed).

The guarantee period for the system (as specified in the contract)
begins as soon as acceptance documents have been signed, unless
other arrangements have been made in the contract.

2.6 Receipt, unpacking and storage

On receiving the equipment, the shipyard and/or the dealer
should ensure that the delivery is complete and inspect each
container for physical damage. If the inspection at receipt reveals
indication of crushing, dropping, immersion in water or any other
form of damage, the recipient should request a representative
from the carrier to be present during unpacking.

During unpacking, the equipment should be inspected for
physical damage, i.e. broken controls and indicators, dents,
scratches etc.

If damage to the equipment is discovered, the recipient should
notify the carrier and Simrad so that Simrad can arrange for
replacement or repair of the damaged equipment.

Simrad SD570 / Base version

851--160115 / B

The equipment, once unpacked, must be stored inside in a room
with an atmosphere free from corrosive agents. In addition, the
equipment must be covered to protect it from dust and other
forms of contamination.

Introduction

851--160115 / B

3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Responsibility and approbation

The Hull Unit of the sonar is generally approved by The
Norwegian Veritas (Organization for classification and registry of
shipping). An approval of the installation must, however, be
applied for in each case to the local maritime authority.

The ship owner and the shipyard are responsible for the
application.

3.2 Compass deviation

When the installation is finished, the compass must be checked
both with the sonar operative and inoperative. The ship owner
and the skipper are responsible for such a check to be carried out.

3.3 Noise sources

Prior to installation, the vessel’s h ull should be thoroughly
inspected in dock. Roughness on the shell plating surface, and
protruding obstacles are examples of noise-causing elements.
These must be smoothed or removed. Also ensure that the
propeller is not chipped or corroded.

3.4 Docking

When dry docking the vessel, make sure that there is enough
room underneath for installation of the sonar trunk and
protection blister (refer to figures 4 and 5 in section Installation
procedures .

3.5 Cabling

If the cable from the wheelhouse to the sonar room passes through
hatches or places where it may be damaged, it should be run
through a pipe. Note that the cable must not be installed together
with high-power cables, antenna cables etc.

Simrad SD570 / Base version
