Setting to work summary
Once all the hardware units have been installed, and all the cables have been connected,
the EC150-3C can be turned on for the first time, and set to work.
Prerequisites
Before you can set the EC150-3C to work, the following work must be finalized.
• All EC150-3C hardware units have been installed according to the relevant
instructions.
• All system cables have been installed.
• All connections have been made.
• All operating power is available.
• All peripheral devices that shall communicate with the EC150-3C are available and
operational.
• All relevant personnel and tools are available.
Context
Some of these tasks may be done while the vessel is in dry dock. However, we assume
that the vessel is set afloat before you start with the "setting to work" procedures.
Note
You must never start EC150-3C transmissions ("pinging") when the ship is in dry dock.
The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air. It is therefore very important
that the EC150-3C system remains turned off when the vessel is in dry dock, and that no
one tries to use it.
Procedure
1 Do a thorough visual inspection to verify that the EC150-3C is ready for operational
use.
a Verify that all hardware have been installed correctly.
b Verify that all cables have been connected correctly.
• Inspecting the EC150-3C installation, page 114
2 Do a test of EC150-3C operational functionality
a Connect the EC150-3C to EK80 Processor unit through a network switch if
several units are connected to the EK80 system
b Defining the IP address on the Processor unit network adaptor for
communication with the EC150-3C.
• Basic functionality test, page 117
3 Do a synchronization interface test
