Appendix A Equipment handling Appendix A Equipment handling This section provides the basic rules for transportation, storage and handling of units. In this context, a unit may be any large or small part of the system. It can be supplied as part of the initial delivery, or as a spare part.
Simrad EK60 Transportation Unless otherwise stated in the accompanying documentation, electronic, electro-mechanical and mechanical units supplied by Kongsberg Maritime can be transported using all methods approved for delicate equipment; (by road, rail, air or sea). The units are to be transported in accordance with general or specific instructions for the appropriate unit(s), using pallets, transport cases, or carton boxes as appropriate.
Appendix A Equipment handling Storage prior to installation or use When a system, a unit or a spare part has been delivered to the customer, it may be subject to long time storage prior to installation and use. During this storage period, certain specifications must be met. The equipment must be preserved and stored in such a way that it does not constitute any danger to health, environment or personal injury. 1 The equipment must be stored in its original transportation crate.
Simrad EK60 Inspection An inspection must be carried out immediately after the unit(s) have arrived at their destination. 1 Check all wooden or cardboard boxes, plastic bags and pallets for physical damage. Look for signs of dropping, immersion in water or other mishandling. 2 If damage is detected externally, you will have to open the packaging to check the contents. Request a representative of the carrier to be present while the carton is opened, so any transportation damage can be identified.
Appendix A Equipment handling 6 Once the carton is open, carefully remove all loose packing and insulation material. Check for manuals and other documents that may have been added to the carton during packing, and put these to one side. Check also for special tools, door keys etc. Unpacking electronic and electromechanical units Electronic and electromechanical units will normally be wrapped in a clear plastic bag.
Simrad EK60 Storage after unpacking The unit must whenever possible be stored in its original transportation crate until ready for installation. The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended (eg. work platform etc.). Once unpacked, the equipment must be kept in a dry, non condensing atmosphere, free from corrosive agents and isolated from sources of vibration. Note Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the board is to be used.
Appendix A Equipment handling Mechanical units If a mechanical unit may has been exposed to a salt atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally to prevent corrosion. 1 If the construction materials and type of unit permits, wash the unit using a high-pressure hose and copious amounts of fresh water. Examples are the lower parts of hull units (outside the hull) or subsea units 2 Ensure that all traces of mud and marine growth are removed.
Simrad EK60 Dehumidifier Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry as possible. Coatings Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light oil) before packing. Re-packaging Whenever possible, the unit must be stored and transported in its original packing material and/or crate.
Appendix A Equipment handling Circuit board handling and packaging Circuit boards are delicate items. They may work year after year in an advanced product, but then fail due to a small spark of static electricity. For this reason, it is very important that they are properly handled and protected during shipping. Beware of ESD! When you handle electronic circuit boards, you must beware of the dangers of electrostatic discharge (ESD), both to yourself and to the equipment.
Simrad EK60 2 3 4 5 DO NOT use standard plastic bags, such as commercial bubble wrap. Fill in all the necessary information on the applicable documentation and place it inside the bag. Seal the bag. Place the circuit board in a suitable carton, and secure it for shipping.
Appendix A Equipment handling All electrical and electronic components must be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or local authorities. The correct disposal and separate collection of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. This is a precondition for reuse and recycling of used electrical and electronic equipment.
Simrad EK60 Appendix B Basic cable requirements This chapter provides general information related to the installation of system cables.
Appendix B Basic cable requirements Cable trays All permanently installed cables associated with the system must be supported and protected along their entire lengths using conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is over the final short distance (maximum. 0,5 meters) as the cables run into the cabinets/units to which they are connected. These short service loops are to allow the cabinets to move on their shock mounts, and to allow maintenance and repair.
Simrad EK60 It is important that cables, other than those supplying services to the equipment installed in a radio room, are not installed through a radio room, high power switch gear or other potential sources of interference. Cables which must pass through a radio room must be screened by a continuous metal conduit or trunking which must be bonded to the screening of the radio room at its points of entry and exit.
Appendix B Basic cable requirements Cable connections All cable connections are shown on the applicable cable plan and interconnection diagrams. Where the cable plan shows cable connections outside an equipment box outline, the connections are to be made to a plug or socket which matches the plug or socket on that particular item of equipment. Where two cables are connected in series via a junction box or terminal block, the screens of both cables must be connected together but not grounded.
