Note

If required, all documents provided by the shipyard for the physical installation of the
SC90 must be approved by the vessel’s national registry and corresponding maritime
authority and/or classification society. Such approval must be obtained before the
installation can begin. The shipowner and shipyard doing the installation are responsible
for obtaining and paying for such approval.

Context

Free bulkhead space is required.

Observe the limitations due to the cable lengths. The
distance between the Transceiver Unit and the Power
Supply Unit is restricted by the length of the cables.
The distance between the Transceiver Unit and the
hull unit is restricted by the length of the transducer
cable. Remember to take into consideration the slack
necessary to lower and hoist the transducer.

The distance to the nearest power outlet is restricted
by the length of the power cable. If required, you may
need to move the power outlet, or replace the power cable with a longer type.

Note

The Transceiver Unit is heavy. Make sure that the necessary manpower and lifting
equipment are available before you start the installation work.

The Transceiver Unit must be mounted as a complete unit. The cabinet door must not be
opened until the unit is securely fastened to the bulkhead.

Procedure

1

Prepare the location and the necessary tools.

2

Observe the installation requirements.

• The Transceiver Unit must be mounted on the bulkhead.

• The position must be chosen to fit the available cable lengths between the

Transceiver Unit and the other units it connects to.

• Provide ample space around the unit to allow for inspection, maintenance and

parts replacement.

• Make sure that the space allows the unit door to be fully dismounted for

unobstructed access to its internal parts.

• Make sure that the installation does not cause problems with existing cabling,

ventilation ducts, piping, etc. Both sides of the bulkhead must be free.

• Make sure that enough space is made available for maintenance purposes.
