Note
Determining the relative positions and orientations of the sensors and the transducer
with high accuracy is important. This requires professional surveying done by qualified
and trained personnel using proven equipment and methods for maritime dimensional
surveying. We recommend that you use third-party consultants with well proven
experience with vessel dimensional control. Sufficient time and satisfactory work
conditions must be given to the survey work. The installation engineers from Kongsberg
Maritime are neither equipped nor trained to do dimensional surveying.
If the accuracy requirements are not met, and this is found to be the reason for a
malfunctioning system, the vessel will most likely need to be dry docked in order to
repeat the dimensional survey.
The Dimensional survey measurement requirements are summarized in the chapter
Technical specifications .
Alignment
To ensure a successful installation of the EM 2040 MKII system, all alignment and
measurements must be done to the highest possible accuracy.
The alignment tasks required for EM 2040 MKII include:
• Measure and adjust the transducer mounting plate to ensure that it has been mounted
within the given tolerances.
• Measure and adjust the external sensors to ensure that they have been mounted within
the given tolerances.
Installation of the external sensors must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
Note
Aligning the transducer for correct installation within the given tolerances requires
professional skills. The installation engineers from Kongsberg Maritime are neither
equipped nor trained to perform the dimensional surveying, and they have no means of
verifying the results until calibration at sea has been done.
