Prerequisites for cable installation
Correct wiring is crucial for the operational performance of the MF90 system. Electrical
connections can only be made by skilled personnel (ship electricians, technicians or
engineers). The installation shipyard must prepare detailed drawings of the electrical
system, and identify each cable.
You must be equipped with a standard set of tools. This tool set must comprise the normal
tools for cable installation tasks. This includes different screwdriver types, pliers, spanners,
a cable stripper, a soldering iron, etc. Each tool must be provided in various sizes. We
recommend that all tools are demagnetized to protect your equipment. Depending on the
tasks at hand, additional tools may be required.
Refer to the cable plans and the list of cables. Detailed information about cable
specifications, termination and connectors are provided in the relevant cable drawings.
Unless otherwise specified, all cables are supplied with the MF90 delivery. In order to
ease the access for maintenance purposes, and to allow for vibration, make sure that some
slack is provided for each cable.
Note
All electric installations and corresponding wiring must be in accordance with the vessel's
national registry and corresponding maritime authority and/or classification society.
Only skilled and authorized personnel can install the MF90 cables.
Kongsberg Maritime will not accept any responsibility for errors, malfunctions or damage
to system or personnel caused by improper wiring.
