3.3 Installing the GAPS BOX
The connections between the different devices can be set up through the GAPS BOX. Set up
all connections between the different devices of the system. The mechanical drawing of the
BOX is available in Appendix M.
The GAPS BOX is classified as IP 51 (NF EN 60529 2000). The GAPS BOX must be
installed inside the ship. If you have to operate the GAPS BOX on the deck, make sure to use
the appropriate protection for the GAPS BOX.
The exchange of one GAPS BOX by another requires that you reboot the computer on which
runs the Web based User Interface before powering the new GAPS BOX.
