056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters
5-10 Bulkhead Repeater
5.3 Bulkhead Repeater
The bulkhead repeater, type 5016-CD, is attached directly onto a bulk-
head or is fitted to the optional swivelling mounting bracket. For this
purpose, the bulkhead repeater housing possesses three attachment
feet with 7 mm holes.
In case of direct bulkhead mounting, the shipyard is to provide the
mounting surface with three M 6 weld studs or tapped holes, to which
the repeater is attached. In case the optional swivelling bracket is used,
the shipyard is to provide the mounting surface with four M 8 weld
studs or tapped holes, to which the bracket is attached.
The bulkhead repeater’s electrical connection is normally made via the
connection box 4894-AD. As the box contains the service USB port, it
should be installed at an easily accessible location close to the repeater.
To install the bulkhead repeater:
1. If the repeater is to be mounted directly onto a bulkhead:
a) Check that the mounting facilities provided by the shipyard
match with the specifications given in dimension drawing
5016-0112-03
b) Fasten the repeater to the bulkhead with suitable fasteners (ship-
yard supply).
If the swivelling bracket is used:
c) Check that the mounting facilities provided by the shipyard
match with the specifications given in dimension drawing
5016-0112-04
d) Fasten the bracket or the to the bulkhead with suitable fasteners
(shipyard supply).
e) Fasten the repeater to the bracket with the fasteners provided.
2. Install a ground strap between the ground stud at the bottom of the
repeater housing and ship’s ground.
CAUTION
Risk of damage
The compass repeaters are heavy instruments. The compass repeater
cables are not designed for holding the repeater just with the cable.
Never hold or transport the repeater on the cable alone when installing
or wearing a compass repeater.
CAUTION
Risk of malfunction
Do not lengthen the cable between the bulkhead repeater and the con-
nection box as the USB service port will not work reliably.
If the connection box cannot be installed at an accessible location close
to the repeater, it will be required to unmount and disassemble the
repeater to gain access to the internal USB receptacle when configuring
or servicing the device.
If the repeater cable is connected directly to shipside terminals, the exter-
nal USB port may not be used and its four wires must be connected to
blind terminals.
