Hull unit main parts

The hull unit is l ocated in the sonar room, close to the transceiver. It is mounted on a mounting trunk, which accommodates the transducer when the sonar is switched off. As the transducer shaft penetrates the ship’s hull, it is required that all personnel handling installation and service are familiar with the hull unit’s main parts and operational principles.

Simrad SX95 Hull Unit

A The

hand crank is used for manual hoisting and lowering

of the transducer shaft. When not in use, the hand crank is stored inside the Motor Control Unit.

B The

identiﬁcation label provides the hull unit’s name, as well

as its registration- and serial numbers.

C The

hoisting motor is used to lower and hoist the transducer

shaft. In order to rotate in both directions, the motor is powered by a 3-phase voltage. The motor is controlled by the Motor Control Unit.

D The

Motor Control Unit controls the hoisting motor. It also

contains the sensor required for sonar beam stabilization.

E The

hoisting unit performs the hoisting and lowering of the

transducer by converting the rotary motion from the motor to a vertical linear motion for the transducer shaft.

F The

transducer shaft sleeve supports the transducer shaft

and ensures that the assembly is water tight. The area between the upper and lower bearings is also used as a grease reservoir for the lubrication of the bearings and for additional water tightening.

G The

mounting ﬂange provides mechanical fastening of the

hull unit to the mounting trunk. A gasket is used to make the assembly watertight.

319568/B

H The

mounting trunk accommodates the transducer when the

transducer is retracted.

Note

The trunk is not included in the standard delivery of the sonar, but can be ordered as an option.

I The transducer has a cylindrical shape. It contains 256

separate wide-band transducer elements.

J The

transducer cable contains two wires for each transducer

element. All are housed in a ﬂexible hose which ends up in a plug unit for connection to the Transceiver Unit.

K The

transducer shaft penetrates the shaft sleeve, and allows

the transducer to be lowered and hoisted. The transducer is connected to the lower end of the transducer shaft using a special plug.

Simrad SX95

L The air bleeding cock is provided to avoid air inside the trunk.

We recommend that a pipe is connected to this cock with continuous rise to the main deck or through the vessel side.

M A number of

zinc anodes are mounted below the mounting

ﬂange to prevent corrosion on the transducer shaft.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

Note

For installation in a previously installed trunk system, ﬁrst read the information about sonar room requirements. Then proceed to the Hull Unit installation description.

This chapter provides the marine engineers responsible the information necessary to plan and install the sonar’s hull unit according to Simrad’s requirements. Correct installation of the sonar transducer is vital to the system’s performance. Several variables must be taken into consideration, the most important of which is the vessel’s construction. This guide is for use in selecting the best location for the transducer and includes a brief description of areas to be avoided.

Note

Installation planning

All installation drawings must be supplied by the shipyard. The installation must beapproved by the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority and/or classiﬁcation society. The shipowner and shipyard performing the installation are responsible for obtaining and paying for installation approval.

Simrad offers free advice for installation planning. Proposed arrangements may be sent for commentary or suggestions supplied by Simrad. The following drawings should be submitted should assistance be requested:

• General arrangement

• Body plan and drawings of relevant bottom tanks and cofferdams

• Lines plan

Topics

• Location of the hull unit on page 16

• Sonar room requirements on page 17

• Sonar room arrangement example on page 20

319568/B 15

Simrad SX95

Location of the hull unit

Fore and aft

The hull unit should preferably be located within 1/3 to 1/10

of the vessel’s Length Between Perpendiculars (LBP) from its Forward Perpendicular (FP). Deviations should not be made

without consulting Simrad.

Athwartships

The hull unit may be located on the Centre Line (CL) of the

vessel, or alongside its keel. If the installation is offset from the vessel’s centre line, make sure that transducer transmission and reception will not be obstructed by the keel.

Figure 3 Location of the hull unit

Important considerations related to noise

The installation trunk must be installed so that it will remain vertical under normal operating c onditions. The primary sources of underwater disturbance (other than a vessel’s main propeller and bow/stern thruster) that affect transducer reception are:

319568/B

• Main or bilge keels

• Zinc anodes

• Cooling elements protruding from the hull

• Equipment such as sonar transducers and pilot tubes

• Sea chests

• Overboard discharges

• Dents in the hull

All appendages to the hull, indentations and pipe in/outlets are potential sources of underwater noise. They may act as resonant cavities amplifying noise at certain frequencies, create cavitation or turbulence. Transducers should not be located in the vicinity of such objects and especially not immediately aft of them.

Sonar room requirements

Installation planning

It is strongly recommended to use a dedicated compartment to house the hull unit and sonar transceiver unit. These two units must also be installed relatively close to each other due to the limited length of the transducer cables. Observe these minimum sonar room requirements to obtain suitable working conditions for sonar installation, use and maintenance.

Sonar room physical properties

The following physical properties must be taken into consideration when the sonar room is planned:

•Size

• Access hatches

•Lifting

•Deck

Size

The sonar room must be dimensioned to house both the hull unit and the transceiver unit. This is due to the limited length of the ﬂexible hose protected cabling (approximately 3.5 m) connecting these two units. A well designed sonar room reduces the risk of corrosion and simpliﬁes maintenance increasing system reliability. The sonar room should not be unnecessarily obstructed by girders, pipes etc. which might cause installation problems or impede maintenance.

Access hatches

The sonar room must be accessible under all conditions at sea or at a berth. All doors or hatches should be designed so that the equipment can be removed without being disassembled.

319568/B 17

Simrad SX95

Lifting device

An attachment point, rated at a minimum of two -2- tons, for supporting a lifting device should be located above the hull unit. This permanently installed ﬁxture will facilitate installation trunk and hull unit mounting, and also may be used for future equipment maintenance or replacement.

Deck

Once the installation has been completed, the sonar room should be suitably decked without restricting access to the equipment.

Sonar room environmental requirements

The following environmental properties must be taken into consideration when the sonar room is planned:

•Heating

• Insulation

• Ventilation

Heating

The sonar room should be equipped with heater, dimensioned to maintain the equipment within its environmental tolerances (at least 1000 W), installed close to the deck. Heating is also an effective method for reducing humidity.

Insulation

Bulkheads must be insulated and provided with an interior wall to the deck. The insulation should be the minimum equivalent of 50 mm of rock-wool. In addition, piping passing through the space prone to condensation must be insulated.

Ventilation

The sonar room should be connected to the vessel’s ventilation system. If this is not possible, two 3-inch vents must be provided from the sonar room to the main deck. In the sonar room, the air inlet should be located in close to the deck and the outlet as high as possible. A funnel shaped drip-collector should be mounted below the vent pipes to divert moisture to the bilge.

On the main deck, the best ventilation is provided when the outlet pipe is at least four meters higher than the inlet pipe. To keep out sea water, rain and spray, the ventilation pipes should be ﬁtted with goosenecks of the equivalent.

319568/B

Installation planning

Sonar room electrical requirements

The following electrical requirements must be taken into consideration when the sonar room is planned:

• Conduit

• Bilge pump

• Lights

Conduit

If the cable between the wheelhouse and the sonar room passes through hatches or areas where it may be damaged, it should be run through a conduit (two inch conduit is recommended).

Bilge pump

The sonar room should be connected to the vessel’s bilge pump system. If this is not possible, a separate bilge pump for the sonar room must be installed.

Lights

The sonar room should be equipped with suitable lighting to simplify the installation and aid future maintenance.

Sonar room special requirements

The following special requirements must be taken into consideration when the sonar room is planned:

• Air vent pipe

• Precautions for dry docking

Air vent pipe

An air vent conduit with a minimum of 10 mm internal diameter must be attached to the air bleeding cock on the hull unit. The pipe should be laid with continuous rise to free air on deck or through the ship’s side.

Note

Through-hull modiﬁcations are subject to approval by the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority. The shipowner and shipyard are responsible for obtaining installation approval.

Precautions f or dry docking

Make sure that ample space is provided between the vessel and dry dock for system installation.

To facilitate future dry docking, mark the position of the installed trunk on the ship drawings as well as on the hull.

SONAR TRUNK INSTALLATION

The sonar trunk provides the physical foundation for the entire hull unit g antry. The trunk further penetrates the hull, and it is therefore a crucial part of the hull unit assembly. In order to ensure proper sonar operation, the location of the sonar trunk must be carefully selected.

A trunk with a blind cover – approved by Det norske Veritas (DnV) – can be ordered from Simrad as an optional delivery, or it may be manufactured by the installation shipyard based on the drawings in this manual and the properties of the hull.

Note

The installation shipyard must provide all necessary installation drawings, and if required, these must be approved by the applicable authorities.

Mounting the sonar trunk

The location of the sonar trunk must be carefully selected.

Note

Note the orientation of the centre line of the trunk with regard to the mounting bolts.

Remove the gasket on the top ﬂange during welding.

Figure 6 Orientation of the sonar trunk

Sonar trunk installation

µ± °1

Parallel to centre line

(CD015415-003)

The height from the top of the trunk ﬂange to the underside of the protection blister must be selected as shown in the referenced ﬁgures.

Note

In order to obtain optimal sonar performance, the total height of the trunk must be as close as possible to its stated minimum height.

The top ﬂange must be parallel to the construction waterline in both the fore-and-aft and athwartship directions.

The installation trunk must be welded to a doubling plate which must be at least 1.5 times as thick as the surrounding shell plating. The doubling plate’s ﬁnal dimensions are to be governed by the

319568/B 23

Simrad SX95

approved installation drawings supplied by the shipyard. The trunk must also be stiffened by welding knee-plates to it and the doubling plate in both the fore-and-aft and athwartship directions.

Sonar trunk protection

Protecting the blister

A steel blister must be ﬁtted for protection. The blister shown is welded to the shell plating and then ﬁlled with oil to prevent corrosion. This method provides excellent protection and simpliﬁes maintenance.

Corrosion protection

As soon as all installation, welding and grinding has been performed, the trunk and the surrounding area should be primed and painted using a quality protective coating.

Sonar trunk installation principles

Observe the next two drawings, these illustrate the i nstallation of the sonar trunk.

Mechanical support

Note

To ensure the safety of the sonar system and the vessel, it is very important that the mechanical support of the hull unit gantry is satisfactory.

To prevent unwanted vortex induced vibration, the hull unit must be secured to the bulkhead. Use the two pre-drilled holes on the gantry to mount support brackets in the fore-and-aft and sideways direction. It must be possible to remove the support brackets if maintenance is required.

Transducer alignment

Even though you may have installed the hull unit oriented differently than shown in this chapter, the transducer shall n be mechanically aligned.

Transducer alignment is performed in the SX90 Processor Unit by rotating the echo presentation on the display. This is described

in section Alignment and offset adjustments on page 51.

Cabling principles

This chapter provides generic information about the cabling principles.

Cable identiﬁcations

On the cable layout drawing and in the corresponding cable list(s), all cables are identiﬁed with individual cable numbers. Unless otherwise deﬁned, each cable is identiﬁed with a Cxx number, where xx is an integer. References are made to dedicated cable drawings. If required, the shipyard or owner may also identify the cables according to their own system. Unless otherwise speciﬁed, this document will however only refer to the identiﬁcation numbers provided by Simrad.

Cable parameters

A drawing with additional parameter speciﬁcations for each c able is provided. Each cable drawing may, when applicable, include:

• Required minimum speciﬁcations

• Connections at each end (including reference to the corresponding: system unit, terminal board identiﬁcation and plug/socket to be used)

• Corresponding terminations

• Number of cores

System and shipyard cables

Cables fall into two categories.

• System cables: These cables are supplied by Simrad.

• Shipyard cables: These cables must be provided by the shipyard performing the installation, or the shipowner.

Note

Simrad accepts no responsibility for damage to the system or reduced operational performance caused by improper wiring.

36 319568/B

Alignment and offset adjustments

When the system start-up procedure for the complete sonar system has been performed, you must acquire the alignment angle of the sonar picture and the stabilisation sensor offset. These values must be entered into the sonar system.

Alignment of the sonar picture

Independent of the hull unit orientation, the alignment is always deﬁned as:

• the angle measured clockwise from the bow to the 0 degrees transducer mark.

The 0 degrees transducer mark is located outermost on the mounting ﬂange, and it is marked as a red “0”. Depending on the transducer mounting, it can be located at any angle on the mounting ﬂange, not necessarily as shown in the illustration below.

APPENDIX B — BASIC CABLE REQUIREMENTS

This chapter provides general information related to the installation of system cables.

Cable trays

All permanently installed cables associated with the system must be supported and protected along their entire l engths using conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is over the ﬁnal short distance (maximum. 0,5 meters) as the cables run into the cabinets/units to which they are connected. These short service loops are to allow the cabinets to move on their shock mounts, and to allow maintenance and repair.

• Wherever possible, cable trays must be straight, accessible and placed so as to avoid possible contamination by condensation and dripping liquids (oil, etc.). They must be installed away from sources of heat, and must be protected against physical damage. Suitable shields must be provided where cables are installed in the vicinity of heat sources.

• Unless it is absolutely unavoidable, cables should not be installed across the vessel’s expansion joints. If the situation is unavoidable, a loop of cable having a length proportional to the possible expansion of the joint must be provided. The minimum internal radius of the loop must be at least twelve times the external diameter of the cable.

• Where a service requires duplicate s upply lines, the cables must follow separate paths through the vessel whenever possible.

• Signal cables must not be installed in the same cable tray or conduit as high-power cables.

• Cables containing insulation materials with different maximum-rated conductor temperatures should not be bunched together (that is, in a common clip, gland, conduit or duct). When this is impractical, the cables must be carefully arranged such that the maximum temperature expected in any cable in the group is within the speciﬁcations of the lowest-rated cable.

• Cables with protective coverings which may damage other cables should not be grouped with other cables.

• Cables having a copper sheath or braiding must be installed in such a way that galvanic corrosion by contact with other metals is prevented.

• To allow for future expansion of the system, all cables should be allocated spare conductor pairs. Also, space within the vessel should be set aside for the installation of extra cables.

319568/B

Appendix B Basic cable requirements

Radio Frequency interference

All cables that are to be permanently installed within 9 m (30 ft) of any source of Radio Frequency (RF) interference such as a transmitter aerial system or radio transmitters, must, unless shielded by a metal deck or bulkhead, be adequately screened by sheathing, braiding or other suitable material. In such a situation ﬂexible cables should be screened wherever possible.

It is important that cables, other than those supplying services to the equipment installed in a radio room, are not installed through a radio room, high power switch gear or other potential sources of interference. Cables which must pass through a radio room must be screened by a continuous metal conduit or trunking which must be bonded to the screening of the radio room at its points of entry and exit.

Physical protection

Grounding

Cables exposed to the risk of physical damage must be enclosed in a steel conduit or protected by a metal casing unless the cable’s covering (e.g. armour or sheath) is sufﬁcient to protect it from thedamagerisk.

Cables exposed to an exceptional risk of mechanical damage (for example in holds, storage-spaces and cargo-spaces) must be protected by a suitable casing or conduit, even when armoured, if the cable covering does not guarantee sufﬁcient protection for the cables.

Metallic materials used for the physical protection of cables must be suitably protected against corrosion.

All metallic cable coverings (armour, metallic sheathing etc.) must be electrically connected to the vessel’s hull at both ends except in the case of ﬁnal sub-circuits where they should be connected at the supply end only.

Grounding connections should be made using a conductor which has a cross-sectional area appropriate for the current rating of the cable, or with a metal clamp which grips the metallic covering of the cable and is bonded to the hull of the vessel. These cable coverings may also be grounded by means of glands specially intended for this purpose and designed to ensure a good ground connection. The glands used must be ﬁrmly attached to, and in good electrical contact with, a metal structure grounded in accordance with these recommendations.

319568/B 67

Simrad SX95

Electrical continuity must be ensured along the entire length of all cable coverings, particularly at joints and splices. In no case should the shielding of cables be used as the only means of grounding cables or units.

Metallic casings, pipes and conduits must be grounded, and when ﬁtted with joints these must be mechanically and electrically grounded locally.

Cable connections

All cable connections are shown on the applicable cable plan and interconnection diagrams.

Where the cable plan shows cable connections outside an equipment box outline, the connections are to be m ade to a plug or socket which matches the plug or socket on that particular item of equipment.

Where two cables are connected in series via a junction box or terminal block, the screens of both cables must be connected together but not grounded.

Cable terminations

Care must be taken to ensure that the correct terminations are used for all cable conductors, especially those that are to be connected to terminal blocks. In this case, crimped sleeve-terminations must be ﬁtted to prevent the conductor core from fraying and making a bad connection with the terminal block. It is also of the utmost importance that where crimped terminations are used, the correct size of crimp and crimping tool are used. In addition, each cable conductor must have a minimum of 15 cm slack (service loop) left before its termination is ﬁtted.

Cable identiﬁcation

Cable identiﬁcation codes corresponding to the cable number shown in the cable plan must be attached to each of the external cables. These identiﬁcation codes should be positioned on the cable in such a way that they are readily visible after all panels have been ﬁtted. In addition, each cable conductor should be marked with the terminal board number or socket to which it is connected.

319568/B

Appendix C Equipment handling

APPENDIX C — EQUIPMENT HANDLING

This section provides the basic rules for transportation, storage and handling of units. In this context, a unit m ay be any large or small part of the system. It can be supplied as part of the initial delivery, or as a spare part.

Transportation

Unless otherwise stated in the accompanying documentation, electronic, electro-mechanical and mechanical units supplied by Simrad can be transported using all methods approved for delicate equipment; (by road, rail, air or sea). The units are to be transported in accordance with general or speciﬁc instructions for the appropriate unit(s), using pallets, transport cases, or carton boxes as appropriate.

Note

Special local restrictions concerning air transportation may be applied to units containing certain types of batteries. These units must be checked properly, and the regulations must be investigated by the packer/shipper before the unit is dispatched.

All local transportation must be carried out according to the same speciﬁcations as for the initial delivery. In general, all units must be handled with care.

The carton or case containing the unit must be kept dry at all times, and must be sheltered from the weather. It must not be subjected to shocks, excessive vibration or other rough handling. The carton or case will normally be marked with text or symbols indicating which way it is to be placed. Follow any instructions given, and ensure the case is always placed with its “top” uppermost.

The carton or case must not be used for any purpose for which i t was not intended (step, table, etc.), and in the absence of other information, no other cartons or cases must be stacked on top of it.

Lifting

A heavy crate will normally be marked with its weight, and the weights of other cartons or crates will normally be entered on the packing list.

• You must always check the weight of a crate before you attempt to lift it.

• You must always use lifting apparatus that is approved and certiﬁed for the load.

319568/B 69

Simrad SX95

Heavy units may be equipped with lifting lugs for transportation by crane within t he workshop or installation area. Before you use a crane:

• You must check the applicable weight certiﬁcateforthecrane.

• You must check the security of the lifting lugs.

Ensure that all available lifting lugs are used. Ensure the unit remains under control during the operation to avoid damage to the unit, equipment or personnel.

Heavy units may be transported using a forklift truck. Special attention must then be paid to the position o f the unit’s centre of gravity. The units must be properly secured to the truck.

Storage prior to installation or use

When a system, a unit or a spare part has been delivered to the customer, it may be subject to long time storage prior to installation and use. During this storage period, certain speciﬁcations must be met. The equipment m ust be preserved and stored in such a way that it does not constitute any danger to health, environment or personal injury.

1 The equipment must be stored in its original transportation

crate.

2 Ensure that the units are clearly separated in the shelves and

that each unit is easily identiﬁable.

3 The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it was

not intended (eg. work platform etc.).

4 The crates m ust not be placed on top of each other, unless

speciﬁc markings permit this.

5 The crates must not be placed directly on a dirt-ﬂoor.

6 Do not open the crate for inspection unless special

circumstances permit so.

• “Special circumstances” may be suspected damage to the crate and its content, or inspections by civil authorities.

• If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report stating the condition of the unit and actions taken. Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence if possible. Re-preserve the equipment.

• If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing material. If required, dry or replace the bags, then re-pack the unit(s) according to the packing instructions.

7 If the crate has been opened, make sure that is it closed

and sealed after the inspection. Use the original packing material as far as possible.

319568/B

Appendix C Equipment handling

8 The storage room/area must be dry, with a non-condensing

atmosphere. It must be free from corrosive agents.

9 The storage area’s mean temperature m ust not be lower than

-30° C, and not warmer than +70° C. If other limitations

apply, the crates will be marked accordingly.

10 The crate must not be exposed to moisture from ﬂuid

leakages.

11 The crate must not be exposed to direct sunlight or excessive

warmth from heaters.

12 The crate must not be subjected to excessive shock and

vibration.

13 If the unit contains normal batteries, these may have been

disconnected/isolated before the unit was packed. These must only be reconnected before the installation starts. Units containing batteries are marked.

Inspection

Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must

be handled separately and with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration. Refer to the applicable product data sheets.

An inspection must be carried out immediately after the unit(s) have arrived at their destination.

1 Check all wooden or cardboard boxes, plastic bags and

pallets for physical damage. Look for signs of dropping, immersion in w ater or other mishandling.

2 If damage is detected externally, you will have to open the

packaging to check the contents. Request a representative of the carrier to be present while the carton is opened, so any transportation damage can be identiﬁed.

3 If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report

stating the condition of the unit and actions taken. Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence if possible. Send the inspection report to Simrad as soon as possible.

4 If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing

material. If required, dry or replace the bags, then re-pack the unit(s) according to the packing instructions.

319568/B 71

Simrad SX95

Unpacking

General unpacking procedure

Normal precautions for the handling, transportation and storage of fragile electronic equipment must be undertaken.

Note

If the unit is not to be prepared for immediate use, you may consider storing it unopened in its original packing material. However, it may be useful to open the case to check its contents for damage and retrieve any accompanying documentation.

Do not use a knife to open cardboard cartons - the contents may lie close to the surface, and may be damaged by the blade.

1 Check the carton before opening it to ensure it shows no

signs of dropping, immersion in water or other mishandling. If the carton shows signs of such damage, refer to the paragraph covering Inspection on receipt.

2 Place the carton on a stable work bench or on the ﬂoor with

the top of the carton uppermost.

3 In the absence of other instructions, always open the top

of the carton ﬁrst. The contents will normally have been lowered into the carton from above, so this will usually be the easiest route to follow. Care must be used when opening the carton to ensure the contents are not damaged. D use a knife to open cardboard cartons

4 If the carton has been closed using staples, remove the

staples from the carton as you open it. This will reduce the possibilities of scratch injury to yourself and damage to the contents.

5 If a wooden crate has been closed using screws, always

remove them using a screwdriver. Do not attempt to prise the lid off with a crowbar or similar.

6 Once the carton is open, carefully remove all loose packing

and insulation material. Check for manuals and other documents that may have been added to the carton during packing, and put these to one side. Check also for special tools, door keys etc.

o not

Unpacking electronic and electromechanical units

Electronic and electromechanical units will normally be wrapped in a clear plastic bag. Lift the unit, in its bag, out of the carton and place it in a stable position on the ﬂoor/work bench.

Inspect the unit for damage before opening the plastic bag.

319568/B

Appendix C Equipment handling

Note

Beware of the dangers of Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) both to yourself and to the equipment, when handling electronic units and components.

Cables must never be used as carrying handles or lifting points. Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before

the board is to be used. If the board package is returned to the manufacturer with the seal broken, the contents will be assumed to have been used and the customer will be billed accordingly.

Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit.

Open the unit and check inside. Remove any packing and desiccant material that may be inside.

Unpacking mechanical units

Mechanical units may be heavy. Using a suitably certiﬁed lifting apparatus, lift the unit out of the crate and place it in a stable position on the ﬂoor/work bench.

Inspect the unit for damage and remove any packing material that may be inside the unit.

Unpacking transducers

Transducers may be supplied mounted to a hull unit (if any), or packed separately. Crates are normally identiﬁed by the order number and the serial number.

The transducer face must be protected by a rigid, padded cover (e.g. a wooden box lined with foam rubber) all the time it is exposed to the risk of physical damage.

Caution Once transducer is unpacked, great care must be taken

to ensure that transducer body and cabling is not exposed to any mechanical stress.

Storage after unpacking

The unit must whenever possible be stored in its original transportation crate until ready for installation. The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended (eg. work platform etc.).

Once unpacked, the equipment m ust be kept in a dry, non condensing atmosphere, free from corrosive agents and isolated from sources of vibration.

319568/B 73

Simrad SX95

Note

Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the board is to be used. If the board package is returned to the manufacturers with the seal broken, the contents will be assumed to have been used and the customer will be billed accordingly.

The unit must be installed in its intended operating position as soon as possible after unpacking. If the unit contains normal batteries, these may have been disconnected/isolated before the unit was packed. These must then be reconnected during the installation procedure. Units containing batteries are marked.

Note

Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be handled separately and with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration. Refer to the applicable product data sheets.

Storage after use

If a unit is removed from its operating location and placed into storage, it must be properly cleaned and prepared before packing.

Cleaning cabinets

If a cabinet has been exposed to salt atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally to prevent corrosion.

1 Wipe the cabinet externally using a damp cloth and a little

detergent. Do not use excessive amounts of water as the unit may not be water tight. On completion, dry the unit thoroughly.

2 All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion,

ﬂaking/bubbling paint, stains etc. Damaged or suspect areas must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the correct preservation mediums for the unit. The mediums to be used will usually be deﬁned in the units’ maintenance manual.

3 Open the unit, and using a vacuum cleaner, remove all dust

etc. from the unit. Great care must be taken to ensure the circuit boards and modules are not damaged in the process.

Mechanical units

If a mechanical unit may has been exposed to a salt atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally to prevent corrosion.

319568/B

Appendix C Equipment handling

1 If the construction materials and type of unit permits, wash

the unit using a high-pressure hose and copious amounts of fresh water. Examples are the lower parts of hull units (outside the hull) or subsea units

2 Ensure that all traces of mud and marine growth are

removed. Use a wooden or plastic scraper to remove persistent growth, barnacles etc. On completion, dry the unit thoroughly.

Caution Do not use a high pressure hose in t he vicinity of

cables or transducers. Do not use sharp or metal tools on a transducer face.

3 If the materials or type of unit prevents the use of a

high-pressure hose, wipe the unit using a cloth dampened with water containing a little detergent. Examples are the upper parts of hull units (inside the hull) and hydraulic systems

4 Do not use excessive amounts of water as some components

on the unit may not be water tight. Wipe off the detergent with a damp cloth, then dry the unit thoroughly.

5 All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion,

ﬂaking/bubbling paint, stains etc. Damaged or suspect areas must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the correct preservation mediums. The mediums to be used will normally be deﬁned in the unit’s maintenance manual.

Cables

Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Simrad for advice.

Internal batteries

If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during storage. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, disconnect or remove all internal batteries.

A suitable piece of insulating material can be placed between the battery and the electrical contacts to prevent electrical discharge. The battery can then remain in the unit, reducing the risk of it being misplaced during the storage period.

319568/B 75

Simrad SX95

Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be

handled separately and with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration. Refer to the applicable product data sheets.

Dehumidiﬁer

Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry as possible.

Coatings

Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light oil) before packing.

Re-packaging

Whenever possible, the unit must be stored and transported in its original p acking material and/or crate. In the event that this material is not available, proceed as follows:

• Small units must be protected from damp by being placed within a plastic bag at least 0.15 mm thick. An appropriate quantity of desiccant material should be placed inside this bag, and the bag sealed. The sealed unit must then be placed in an appropriate carton or crate, and supported in the container by appropriate shock-absorbing insulation (polystyrene foam chips etc.).

• Large units must be placed in a suitable cardboard box or wooden crate. The unit must be protected against physical damage by means of shock-absorbing insulation mats. The box must be clearly marked with its contents, and must be stored in a dry and dust-free area.

Temperature protection

If the unit must be protected against extremes of temperature, the carton/crate must be lined on all walls, base and lid with 5 cm thick polyurethane or polystyrene foam. These units will be identiﬁed as delicate in the applicable documentation.

The package must then be clearly marked:

Must not be transported or stored in temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius.

319568/B

Appendix C Equipment handling

Other units can normally be stored in temperatures between -30° C and +70° C, refer to the system’s technical speciﬁcations for details.

Unless otherwise speciﬁed, transducers m ust not be stored in temperatures below -20° C and above +60° C.

Circuit board handling and packaging

Circuit boards are delicate items. They may work year after year in an advanced product, but then fail due to a small spark of static electricity. For this reason, it is very important that they are properly handled and protected during shipping.

Beware of ESD!

When you handle electronic circuit boards, you must beware of the dangers of electrostatic discharge (ESD), both to yourself and to the e quipment. In order to ensure safe transport and storage, circuit boards and other electronic units will always be wrapped in a clear plastic protective bag, and t he bag will be sealed.

See also section What is ESD? on page 78.

Unpacking and handling circuit boards

To unpack a circuit board:

• Wherever possible, prepare a suitable workbench. It must have an approved conductive service mat, and it must be connected directly to a reliable earth point via its earthing cord. You must wear a wristband in direct contact with the skin, and the wristband must be connected to the service mat.

• Lift the circuit board, in its protective bag, out of the carton and place it in a stable position on the a ﬂoor/work bench.

• Inspect the unit for damage before you open the plastic bag.

• Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the board shall to be used. If the board package is returned with the seal broken, we will assume that the content has been used, and we will bill you accordingly.

• Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit.

• Take out and keep the documentation. You will need it if the circuit board shall be returned to us. Also, remove any packing and desiccant material that may be inside.

• Keep the protective plastic bag for future use.

Unpacking on board

When you are working on board a vessel, an “approved conductive service m at” is often far away. As you still need to unpack circuit boards, make sure that you do it in the instrument

319568/B 77

Simrad SX95

room, or at another location where you have a steel deck. Keep far away from the bridge or any other rooms with wall-to-wall carpets! If possible, bring a wristband and ground yourself.

Returning a circuit board

If you wish to return a circuit board to us, observe the following rules.

• Place the circuit board to be returned in the same protective plastic bag as you originally received it in - or a protective bag of similar ESD protection quality.

•D

O NOT use standard plastic bags, such as commercial

bubble wrap.

• Fill in all the necessary information on the applicable documentation and place it inside the bag.

• Seal the bag.

What is ESD?

• Place the circuit board in a suitable carton, and secure it for shipping.

Note

Failure to follow these rules may result in unserviceable circuit boards.

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic charge between two bodies at different electrostatic levels, caused either by direct contact or induction by an electrostatic ﬁeld. The passing of a charge through an electronic device can cause localised overheating, and it can also “puncture” insulating layers within the structure of the device. This may deposit a conductive residue of the vaporised metal on the device, and thus create a short circuit. This may result in a catastrophic failure, or degraded performance of the device.

ESD protection

Sensitive electronic circuit boards must be transported and stored in protective packing bags. The circuit boards must not be transported or stored close to strong electrostatic, electro-magnetic or radioactive ﬁelds. If it is necessary to open and touch the circuit board inside the protective bag, then the following precautions must be taken:

• The working area must be covered by an approved conductive service mat that has a resistance of between 50 kΩ and 2 MΩ, and is connected directly to a reliable earth point via its earthing cord.

319568/B

Appendix C Equipment handling

• The service personnel involved must wear a wristband in direct contact with the skin, connected to the service mat.

• Printed circuit boards must be placed on the conductive service mat during installation, maintenance etc.

• If, for any reason, it is necessary to move the circuit board from the conductive service mat, it must be placed in an approved antistatic transportation container (e.g. static shielding bag) before transportation.

• During installation and servicing, all electrical equipment (soldering irons, test equipment etc.) must be earthed.
