MAQ SONAR 22KHz, Technical And Installation Manual

Page: 11 / 107

Installation Requirements
1)
Approvals:
Sea-Chest installations must be approved on a case-by-case basis with regard
to the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime authority. The ship owner
and shipyard performing the installation are responsible for obtaining installation
approval.
2)
Power supply: For the Processor Units AC Power w
e recommend the use of an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The UPS should have the ability to maintain power
for 10 minutes; This allows shut off of the equipment in the case of a AC power failure.
This also prevents shut off due to power surges/loses due to other vessel equipment.
Many Vessels are equipped with AC inverts. These must be Pure Sine Inverters with
sufficient power to support the system. Hoist DC power must be supplied from Vessel
Power sources. 22KHz will also require AC power for the Motor.
3)
Dry Dock
: Ensure proper clearance under Sea-Chest for sonar installation. Avoid placing
supporting blocks in the area of the Sea-Chest. In the Note section of this manual, log the
position of the Sea-Chest for future reference.
4)
Wiring:
All cables must be supported or protected along its entire length. Conduit or
cable trays should be used. Cables must be installed so as not to run in the areas of high-
power supplies, antenna cables or other sources of interference.
5)
Vibration:
Vibration on any of the equipments must be monitored. Excessive vibration
will require dampeners to be installed. Improper installation on Transducer Guides can
result in Flow related vibration.
6) Temperature and Humidity: All equipment, unless otherwise specified, must be
protected from extremes in temperature and humidity.
7)
Warranty:
The warranty is only valid when the installation is made in accordance with this
manual. Note that the Warranty Registration Card must be returned by the vessel to MAQ
SONAR within 30 days of the installation to be validated (see the example below).
