5. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
5.1 GENERAL
After the installation of the Safedock unit, Operator Panel(s) and calibration plate, the
system must be set-up to meet the demands or characteristics of the particular stand.
The set-up procedure at each stand is carried out using the Safedock Maintenance
Tool. The Safedock Maintenance Tool can also be used to document each stand set-
up. A copy per installed stand
shall be stored for the customer’s approval during
commissioning. The file shall also be maintained throughout the system life cycle.
For configuration and commissioning guidelines and in-depth description of these
software utilities, see Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE and 4A Stand Configuration Utility.
5.2 CONFIGURATION PHASES
The Safedock system is set up by the following procedures:

If applicable, define network details (IP settings). See Chapter 4 Maintenance

Setting and definition of functionality

Defining the gate area

Setting calibration check points

Configuration (setting aircraft types and their stop-positions and so on)

5.3 PREPARATION
This information is for airport Operations and Maintenance personnel to use as a
reference for configuration and/or commissioning of a Safedock system, via an
Operator Panel and a maintenance computer, at a stand with a single centreline. Text
and image references may not depict the actual system being configured and
commissioned.
Note: If any error occurs during system configuration and commissioning you can find
supporting information in Chapter 4 MAINTENANCE § 5. Troubleshooting.
5.3.1 Prepare the Stand for Aircraft Stop-positions
Aircraft stop-positions are specific to each stand due to a number of different
variables, for example aircraft type, PBB type and centreline length.
It is recommended for airport personnel to prepare each stand for Safedock
configuration and commissioning works with stop distance/ aircraft type information
from design drawings or actual aircraft dockings at the stand:

Enter stand/gate, stop distance, aircraft type information in the table below, for
future reference.

Make sure ground markings are painted along the centreline for the aircraft type
stop-positions to be used at the specific stand.

This information is to be made available for Safegate and/or other airport
personnel before commissioning or changing configuration settings in a Safedock
system.
