Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer APPENDIX A — GENERAL SAFETY RULES The Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine computer system operates on 230 Vac 50/60 Hz. WARNING This voltage is lethal! The following safety precautions must be followed at all times during installation and maintenance work • Always switch off all power before installation or maintenance. Use the main circuit breaker, and label the breaker with a warning sign that informs others that maintenance or installation work is being carried out on the system.
Appendix B Equipment handling APPENDIX B — EQUIPMENT HANDLING This section provides the basic rules for transportation, storage and handling of units. In this context, a unit may be any large or small part of the system. It can be supplied as part of the initial delivery, or as a spare part.
Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer 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 of the unit’s centre of gravity. The units must be properly secured to the truck.
Appendix B Equipment handling 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. 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.
Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer 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.
Appendix B Equipment handling 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.
Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer 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.
Appendix B Equipment handling 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.
Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer Must not be transported or stored in temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius. 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 must not be stored in temperatures below -20° C and above +60° C. Circuit board handling and packaging Circuit boards are delicate items.
Appendix B Equipment handling Unpacking on board the vessel When you are working on board a vessel, an “approved conductive service mat” is often far away. As you still need to unpack circuit boards, make sure that you do it in the instrument 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.
Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer 2 The service personnel involved must wear a wristband in direct contact with the skin, connected to the service mat. 3 Printed circuit boards must be placed on the conductive service mat during installation, maintenance etc. 4 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.
Appendix C Basic cable requirements APPENDIX C — BASIC CABLE REQUIREMENTS This chapter provides general information related to the installation of system cables.
Simrad ES70/PI50 Marine Computer • 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.
Appendix C Basic cable requirements 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. 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.
