x ULD Reader Installation Guide
1 Introduction 1 This guide provides information for installing Unit Load Device (ULD) Readers for Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) in support of the ULD Tracking System, for tracking cargo pallets and containers. SATS provides cargo handling services for major international airlines in Singapore. There are five Air Freight Terminals (ATF) in operation today, with Terminal 6 currently under construction.
Introduction Summary In AFT5, pallets and containers (ULDs), are handled by a Material Handling System (MHS). They are stored in a multi-level ULD storage system with a capacity of 1316 ULDs within the MHS. Electronic sensors are strategically located on conveyors and equipment to monitor movement of ULDs. Signals are transmitted and analyzed by a DEC VAX mini computer through a comprehensive network.

ULD Reader Installation Bracket Removal and Installation Deck plates are removed before installation procedures are performed. Installation procedures include: • Reader Bracket Installation for TTTV, ETV, and BV on page 2-4 • Reader Bracket Installation for Workstations on page 2-7 Removing Deck Plates • To remove a deck plate: 1. Determine the mounting location of the Reader (see “Reader Locations” on page 2-18). 2.
ULD Reader Installation • To remove the existing bracket and install the Reader Bracket for TTTV, ETV, and BV: 1. With open-end and adjustable wrenches, remove the U-bracket from the roller suspension rail. 2. Inspect the bracket mounting holes for any dimension and concentricity anomalies. 3. If required, hand-grind the bracket mounting surface smooth. 4. Clean the bracket mounting surface and mounting holes with Xylene, then wipe clean with alcohol. 5.
ULD Reader Installation Figure 2-4 Bracket Mounting Fixture 8. Align the Reader Bracket until the Roller Tangent Bar indicates proper positioning with the roller tangent. 9. Tighten the mounting bolts to secure the Reader Bracket. 10. Apply three spot welds to the Reader Bracket. 11. Remove Retaining Bolt “A”. Refer to Figure 2-4. 12. Remove the Bracket Mounting Fixture. 13. Repeat preceding steps for the opposing bracket.
ULD Reader Installation Reader Bracket Installation for Workstations This activity consists of removing the existing bracket and installing the Reader Bracket (bracket) at Workstations 1 through 12. You must perform the procedure, “Removing Deck Plates” on page 2-4 before performing this procedure. Note: The existing brackets at the Workstation locations (1 through 12) are welded into place. • To remove the existing bracket and install the Reader Bracket for Workstations 1 through 12: 1.
ULD Reader Installation Figure 2-5 Reader Bracket and Mounting Bolts 6. Place a lock washer on each bolt. 7. Place a nut on each bolt and hand-tighten. 8. Attach the Bracket Mounting Fixture onto the Reader Bracket, using the Retaining Bolt “A” (m10 - 1.5 carriage bolt). Figure 2-6 Bracket Mounting Fixture 9. Align the Reader Bracket until the Roller Tangent Bar indicates proper positioning with roller tangent. 10. Tighten the mounting bolts. 11. Apply three (3) spot welds to the bracket.

ULD Reader Installation Reader Installation Reader installation consists of temporarily installing a Reader Housing to ensure proper fit, and installing the Reader. Temporary Reader Housing Installation You need to temporarily install a Reader Housing to verify proper fit before you begin the formal process of installation. • To temporarily install the Reader: 1. Set the sample Reader Housing in place and check for proper alignment. 2. Remove the sample Reader Housing. 3.
ULD Reader Installation Figure 2-7 on page 2-11 illustrates the lifting points where the lifting tools are attached to the Reader. Figure 2-8 on page 2-11 is an example of a single Lifting Handle tool. Figure 2-7 Reader Lifting Points Figure 2-8 Lifting Tool (Handles) 3. Lift the Reader and carefully lower it onto the mounting Reader Brackets. A third technician needs to be in a position to guide the Reader to the bracket pins. These pins are at the Access Panel end of the Reader.
ULD Reader Installation 4. Attach the Reader to the Reader Brackets using Retaining Bolts “A” (see Figure 2-6 on page 2-8). 5. Check for Reader distance from the roller tangent (0.480 -0.5”) at both ends of the Reader. 6. Check for any interference. 7. Remove Retaining Bolts “A” from both brackets. 8. Remove the Reader, and place it with the top (Dock Plate) facing down onto the two 2x4 wooden work blocks for communication and power connection, pulling two meters of cable slack from the pit. 9.
