General introduction to the installation manual
This manual is describing the procedure to ensure a proper and safe installation of our TECDIS
onboard a vessel. Please read carefully this manual before you start up the commissioning of the
TECDIS.
The installation and commissioning of the TECDIS must be performed by an authorized service
engineer, which has undertaken training or in other forms gained the required skills to perform an
authorized installation of a TECDIS system onboard a vessel.
To ensure a professional after-sale service and a personal track-record of TECDIS installations,
we recommend that the service engineer saves the default setup file to floppy disk or other
media. He can then keep this file in his personal register of TECDIS installations.
The file is located at: C:\Program files\TECDIS\dta4.setup, or C:\Program
files\TECDIS\Telchart.ini (if present).
Please note the following:
All position inputs to TECDIS from all external sensors must be in WGS-84
datum.
TECDIS shall be supplied by UPS (uninterrupted power supply) 220VAC or
emergency power, this shall include also TECDIS backup (if installed) and other
hardware related to the TECDIS installation. A dedicated UPS shall be supplied
to each TECDIS (if dual installation). The UPS or emergency power shall have
sufficient capacity to supply all required equipment for a period of at least 60
seconds.
If connected to internet to provide C-Map Update Service functionality, a switch
must be made available to disconnect TECDIS from internet when C-Map
Update Service functionality is not in use.
Checklist to verify the proper installation of the TECDIS shall be filled in and
filed onboard. For TECDIS TCS and TECDIS AW, a copy of this checklist shall
be sent to Telko AS for full type approval compliance. For all versions of
TECDIS, it is strongly recommended that a copy is stored in the installer’s
archives and that a copy is sent to Furuno Norway or Telko AS.
