Warnings and Cautions

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS


This document is intended for use by service engineers only, providing installation or
service for Transas MIP Ltd. navigation systems, and holding Transas MIP Ltd.
certificates for aforementioned works.

WARNING!
Important Note!
For correct operation, please, read this document and instruction manual supplied
by the scanner manufacturer carefully, before operating the equipment.

WARNING!
Lethal Voltage Hazard!
Inside the equipment and in the cables lethal voltage hazard is present. When
access covers are removed, lethal voltages may be exposed. Some capacitors used
in the equipment, take several minutes to discharge their stored voltages after
the switching OFF, this is a lethal voltage hazard. Always set the supply switch-fuse
to OFF and remove the fuses, before removing the access covers of the equipment.

Cables must be connected to the power supplies only provided with grounding.

Cables must not have damaged insulation and must exclude contact with parts
conducting current.

WARNING!
Health Hazard!
When cleaning the inside of the equipment, take care not to inhale dust. The dust is
a temporary health hazard, depending on individual allergies.

Units radiate heat and must be installed in such way that free air circulation is ensured.

It is necessary to strictly follow the requirements set forth in the operation manuals
for computers and system’s peripheral devices.

CAUTION!
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESSD’s)!
The equipment may contain ESSD’s. Take care not to damage these devices
by discharge of electrostatic voltages.

Preamble 11
Warnings and Cautions

Electomagnetic Radiation Risk


The radar antenna emits electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency band that can
be harmful, especially for eyes. NEVER look directly the antenna at a low distance
from it while the radar is transmitting. The distances where the radio frequency energy
2 2
levels are 100 W/m and 10 W/m are respectively shown in the following table:
Table 1. Radio-frequency radiation levels for network scanners
Model Distance to 100 W/m2 (m) Distance to 50 W/m2 (m)
Radome 2.2 kW N/A 1
Radome 4 kW N/A 2
Open Array 4 ft 0.5 3
Open Array 6 ft 0.5 3
Open Array 7.5 ft 1 9.5

Table 2. Radio-frequency radiation levels for NGSM scanners


Antenna length Distance to 10 mW/cm2 (m) Distance to 1 mW/cm2 (m)
1.2 m X-band 1.7 17
1.8 m X-band 1.05 10.5
2.4 m X-band 0.75 7.5
3.7 m S-band 0.55 5.5

Electrical Shock and Dangerous Voltage


During installation, the operator must work all the time with power supply
disconnected from the equipment. The operator must always wear individual safety
devices and protections against the risk of electrical shocks, e.g. dielectric insulating
gloves.

Safety Switch
The radar unit is provided with a safety switch, which disable the antenna movement
during maintenance operations and avoids high voltage damage. Always turn the
safety switch off before performing any maintenance or installation procedure.
Ignoring safety switch operation may produce hazard of electrocution as well as
other severe injuries.

Ground Protection to the Ship Ground


The equipment must be connected to ground to avoid electromagnetic disturbances
and electrical shocks.

The scanner units equipped with 6 ft, or 7.5 ft, or 4ft array are endowed with a local
safety switch. Such switch inhibits the rotation and the transmission of the scanner
unit and is used when maintenance interventions are carried out on the antenna or
near it. This switch is used to enable (ON) / disable (OFF) the rotation antenna (see
the figure below).
When the safety switch is enabled, no operation performed from the master display
can enable the rotation and/or the radar transmission.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 31


Installation of Network Scanners 4/12/25 kW
X-Band Up Mast

Note: During normal operating conditions as well as during maintenance, the engine
can be quickly disconnected from its power line by setting “OFF” the safety
switch.

Fig. 16. Safety switch

If not already available, realize a suitable platform for housing the transceiver with 4
or 6 or 7.5 ft array. Such platform must allow to easily lay out the interconnection
cable and to comfortably perform the possible maintenance activities.
Besides, the platform must allow the array free rotation on the 360°. Therefore,
make sure that no obstacles exist in the immediate closeness. For this purpose,
refer to the overall dimensions reported in the installation drawings (see the figure
above). Drill the platform by using the drilling template supplied as an outfit of the
scanner unit.
Make sure that the holes machined on the platform are as parallel as possible with
respect to the ship head-stern line.
Besides, make sure that the scanner unit orientation, when the mechanical
installation is completed, corresponds to that reported in the figure below:

Performance Monitor Mode Setup


Perform the following procedure:

• Connect the sensor cable to J3 connector of APM-030 unit;


• Connect the contact switch cable to J2 connector;
• Supply 24V DC to J1 connector.
The contact switch is used for the remote switching on/off of the equipment.
For this reason the switch on APM-030 should be set to OFF.

Switch on the radar and performance monitor and wait for at least 30 minutes
to allow both systems to get temperature stabilised.
Switch the radar transmission to 24 NM range and check that it is at the maximum tune.

Due to the reflections from the obstacles nearest to the radar antenna,
the presentation of 4 markers may appear outlined; in order to improve the image
of the markers, rotate slightly the SPM-010 unit around the scanner unit axis.

VR2 trimmer allows fine tuning of the performance monitor thus optimising
the image of markers on the display.

The markers intensity can be varied by using VR2 trimmer; to do this, the radar receiver
gain should best be adjusted after the warm-up, to obtain a floor noise just visible.

Now keep rotating VR2 trimmer clockwise until the marker farthest from the centre
is barely distinguishable from the floor noise.

VR1 enables adjustment of the markers distance from the display centre;
as it is rotated clockwise, the markers come nearer to the centre at a step of 2 NM.

The distance from the display centre to the innermost marker should be adjusted
to 14 NM during the normal transmitter operation; the radar VRM should be moved
to 14 NM for reference.

Now rotate VR1 trimmer counter clockwise until the stop, the 4 markers will appear
close the centre with the angular width reduced. Slowly rotate VR1 clockwise until
the innermost marker shifts from 12 NM to 14 NM. If the marker distance from the
display centre is always 14 NM and fails to decrease by with the use of VR1 trimmer
(the SPM-010 unit picks up a signal which is too strong), it is necessary try to lower
the position of SPM-010 relative to the radar antenna, or to reduce the relative
distance, or to vary the SPM-010 inclination.

And the other way round, if you fail to put the markers to a distance of 14 NM
(SPM-010 unit picks up a signal which too weak), try to vary the distance of
SPM-010 unit from the radar antenna.
Now the installation is completed; close APM-030 unit with special clamping screws.

Siting
General considerations
The performance of the system depends on the correct siting of the system scanner
unit (Turning unit and antenna). When siting the scanner unit you should consider
the following:

1. Compass safe distance.

2. Satisfactory short-range and long-range performance of the radar.

3. Protection of the equipment (cables and waveguide if applicable) from damage.

4. Ease of access for safe servicing.

5. Minimum practical length of waveguide or S-band coaxial cable, if applicable.

6. Freedom from blind arcs and false echoes, particularly on the starboard side of
the vessel as own ship usually has to give way to vessels approaching from this
direction. Port side visibility is also extremely important for monitoring
approaching vessels, as these normally pass own ship on the port side. This is
particularly important for vessels that navigate in narrow channels or canals.

Ship features which commonly obstruct the radar beam are funnels, masts,
Samson posts and crosstrees. A funnel usually throws a shadow aft, which may
or may not be considered serious. However, it is a probable source of false
echoes aft. Shadows thrown by Samson posts and masts will vary in extent with
their size and proximity to the scanner.

If there are obstacles around the selected site, it may be necessary to position
the scanner towards the starboard side of the vessel (the figure below identifies
this as position B). In this example, position B gives the antenna an
unobstructed area for direction of traffic on own ship’s starboard side. In
practice, in the direction of the ship’s bow, a mast or crane can often reflect or
suppress signals transmitted from the antenna.

Fig. 32. Scanner siting

This type of obstruction can cause the system to show large false returns on the
Display and/or fail to detect target returns within a certain dead angle. On AIS
systems this may also cause the radar to lose automaticallytracked targets that
move into the dead area. If the obstacle forms a significant obstruction, the
scanner height may have to be changed to make sure the angle of depression is
a minimum of 5 degrees (see the figure below).

The scanner must be installed only as high as is necessary to clear major


objects. It must also be remembered that when the scanner height is minimised
the short-range performance is improved along with the effects of sea clutter.
Therefore, position the scanner high enough to secure 5 degrees or greater
angle of depression. The angle is measured between the horizontal line drawn
from the antenna and the top of the mast or obstacle.

Up/Down Mast

Fig. 33. Minimum angle of depression

7. To avoid interference from an adjacent radar antenna the vertical separation


between antennas should be as large as practicable. As a minimum, the glare
angle between antennas should not be greater than 70 degrees (see the figure
below).

Fig. 34. Dual scanner positioning (glare angle)

8. Local wind effect due to ship’s structure.

9. Local vibration environment.

Bulkhead Specific Considerations


The site and method of mounting the below-decks equipment should be chosen to
comply, as far as possible, with the wishes of the owner or master of the vessel. The
following points should also be considered:

1. Compass safe distance.

2. Ease of access for servicing.

3. Positioning to avoid the ingress of moisture.

4. Positioning away from doors or ports that are used frequently.

5. Positioning to minimise accidental damage.

6. Environmental considerations such as adequate ventilation, dust, dirt and clean


air.

7. Position the Workstation assembly away from strong magnetic fields.

8. Position the Display Screen away from direct sunlight.

9. Local vibration environment.

Safety Earthing
All company equipment with internal voltages greater than 50 V AC (rms) and
contained in a protective metal chassis must have the chassis connected directly to
earth. This is to stop the chassis becoming live under fault conditions. The earth link
is made by connecting a low resistance conductor between the equipment’s 6mm
stainless steel safety earth stud (marked with) and the main ship’s earth.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 47


Installation of Scanners NGSM 30 kW S-Band
Up/Down Mast

Particular care must be taken when protecting the connections from environmental
and electro-chemical corrosion. Before assembly, you must make sure the contact
areas are oxide-free and that they are coated with a thin layer of conducting paste to
seal the joints. The most suitable materials for making connections between the
equipment’s earthing bolt and the ship’s earth are aluminium or tinned copper straps
that give a large contact area.

If an aluminium strap is connected to a ship’s stainless steel earth a zinc-plated


washer must be used between the strap and the ship’s earth.

If a tinned copper strap is connected to a ship’s aluminium earth an aluminium


washer (rather than steel) must be used between the strap and the ship’s earth.

CAUTION!
The connecting of the bonding straps must be made from each piece of equipment
to the ship’s earth. You must not loop from unit to unit. To ensure this is a non-
current-carrying connection no other connection must be made to the earth bolt.
The safety earth must never be removed during normal use or servicing. It is only
safe to remove it once the equipment has been isolated from all external power
sources.

Electromagnetic Continuity Screening


The purpose of EMC screening is to:

• Restrict the emission of electro-magnetic energy from the equipment; and


• Reduce its susceptibility to external electro-magnetic influence.
Individual items of equipment are EMC screened by their protective chassis.
However, the screening should be extended to cover both input and output
connections and cabling. This will maintain overall electro-magnetic efficiency.

Care must be taken when bonding the braids of interconnecting cables where
indicated in the appropriate cable schedules.

Cabling
Refer to the Cabling schedules below for details of cables and related terminations.
Inter-unit cabling diagrams are given in Annex F.

Details of the S-band coaxial RF feeder are given Annex D.

Supply Cables
The following points should be considered when you decide which size of cable to
use to connect the ship’s supply to the radar:

• The voltage drop from the supply to the radar must not exceed 2% of the supply
voltage.
• The current required by the radar must not exceed the current rating of the
cable.
If the radar system is to be supplied by a three-phase supply, the radar system must
be connected between two of the three phase lines. If it is a high-voltage supply, an
isolating transformer must be supplied to reduce the voltage to 220/240 V at the
system input.

Note: S-band Turning unit motors are fed directly from the AC supply via the
appropriate Scanner Control Unit (SCU); see below paragraph Scanner
Control Unit.

Power Consumption
The power consumption of the radar is given in Chapter 3.

Control Cables
The control cables detailed on the Inter-unit cabling diagrams may be used up to a
maximum length of 180 m, unless otherwise stated. Special cable kits are available
for cable lengths up to 300 m.

The DATA cable (Service Code MA00007419) conforms to UL Type CL2, AWM
2919 and CSA PCC FT4.

The other multicore cables conform to IEC 92/3 and DEF STAN 61-12 Part 5.

The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) cables follow the construction of DEF STAN
61-12 Part 5 but have polyethylene insulation over the cores instead of PVC.

The cables are multicore stranded or bunched, and have tinned copper wire
conductors.

Each conductor is insulated with PVC to form cores. The cores are screened with
braided tinned copper wire, and the complete cable is sheathed with PVC.
The temperature range of the cables is -25°C to +70°C.

For all motor types:

1. First, feed the mains cable through the cable gland on the motor termination box
housing.

2. Connect the cable braid to the motor chassis.

3. Connect the individual insulated conductors to the appropriate terminals as


detailed for each motor type in the following section.

4. Make sure the cable is not under strain in the termination box area, and
sufficient slack is available to remake the connection, should this ever be
necessary, for example, if a motor is changed in service.

5. Make sure the insulated conductors are terminated appropriately:

– Using ring crimp terminals on threaded studs; or


– Stripping insulation back by 5mm for screw compression pillars.
6. Ensure that any gasket fitted for sealing the terminal box cover is correctly
seated when the cover is re-secured.
Single Phase Motor Connections
Make connections according to the label on the inside of the termination box cover.
Ensure that the rated motor volts are matched to the supply. If the radar antenna
rotates in the wrong direction, re-configure the connections on the motor according
to the diagram on the motor housing (the radar antenna should rotate anti-clockwise
when viewed from below).

For dual voltage single phase motors connection details are shown in the figure
below.

There are 6 wires from the motor housing to the terminal block, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 and 8. Connect the wires to the terminal block as detailed in figure below for the

S-band Bulkhead Transceiver


The S-band bulkhead Transceiver, 65831A, is installed below decks in a suitable
location such as the ship’s equipment room. The installation should consider
accessibility for maintenance and servicing, and the distance between the
Transceiver and the Scanner Unit.

For maximum performance, this should be kept as short as practicable as the loss
per metre of the S-band coaxial cable is typically 8.31 dB per 100 metres (1.7 dB for
20 m). This loss applies to both the transmitted RF pulse and the received signals.

The maximum recommended cable length using standard coaxial cable (PT1YM) is:

• 30 metres between the Turning unit and the Transceiver unit; and
• 67 metres between the Transceiver and Display.
Greater separation is possible by using a lower loss cable.

Fig. 51. S-Band bulkhead transceiver 30 kW Installation

Assembling the Bulkhead Transceiver


The Transceiver may be attached to the bulkhead by several methods. The actual
method chosen will depend on individual circumstances: consider the likely vibration
and shock loading which may be experienced. The available methods include
through bolting to the bulkhead, or mounting on studs supplied by the shipyard, see
the figure below. Slotted mounts are supplied at the bottom for ease of installation.
Note: The positions of the four fixings for the unit are not on a rectangle. The
horizontal spacing of the top fixings is 364 mm compared with 376 mm for the
lower fixings. When choosing the installation location for the Transceiver,
consider how the RF feeder coaxial cable is to be routed.

Installing Cables on a Bulkhead Transceiver


The figure below shows details of the cable inputs. The cable cover plate, which is
secured by two fixing screws, is shown removed.

Note: A cable retainer holds the coaxial cables. This must be fitted after the cables
are in place.
All other cables, with the exception of the RF feeder S-band coaxial cable, are
individually clamped on their cable braids to provide EMC shielding. The braids are
also made off as tails and connected to earth tags provided. The AC mains input is
connected to TSE as shown.

Scanner Control Unit


Mounting
Normally, the Scanner Control Unit (SCU) is mounted so that it is accessible to the
radar operator. Also it must be mounted so that a service engineer can get access to
the isolator for the mains supply to the Turning Unit motor. Therefore, it is preferable
to mount the SCU close to the Mains Isolator, see below installation drawing.

Fig. 58. Scanner Control Unit – Three-phase supply arrangement

Optional Mains Isolator


It is good practice to include Mains Isolator Switches Type 65800700 in the system
wiring of AC powered systems. Their function is to let the Scanner Unit (with the
exception of the Motor Supply in S-band systems be isolated from the ship’s mains
supply.

The Scanner Unit Motor supply in S-band systems is isolated separately by the
Scanner Control Unit. For safety reasons, the Mains Isolator must be mounted next
to the SCU so that the S-band system can be isolated from a single location .

If needed, the Mains Isolator can be locked in the OFF position using a suitable
padlock.

In multiple radar systems more than one isolating switch may be needed.

For connection of Isolating Switch to the Transceiver, see interconnections diagrams


enclosed in Annex F.

Slave Junction Box


General
The Slave Junction Box is used as part of a Marine Radar System for installation
below decks.

The Slave Junction Box allows up to 3 slave radar displays to be connected to a


radar transceiver, in addition to the master display. It also allows for the buffering of
Mutual Interference Suppression Triggers (MIST) to these displays (only required in
multi-transceiver systems). Provision is also made for Log, Nav and Compass cable
distribution to the displays (non-buffered).

Connections between the transceiver and master display are not buffered, ensuring
the highest integrity of communication between these units in the event of a fault
condition arising in the Slave Junction Box. In the event of the master display
malfunctioning, it can be replaced by reconnecting, (by transferring the connectors),
a slave display in its place in the Slave Junction Box.
A Despatch Kit, 65849600, contains all necessary fixings and connectors.

For technical specification of the Slave Junction Box, see Chapter 3.

Turning Unit

WARNING!
The Turning unit must be lifted using the four fixing holes at the base of the unit.
The weight and spread of the Antenna can cause a freestanding Turning unit to
topple over. The Turning unit must therefore be bolted onto its mounting platform
before attaching the Antenna to the Turning unit. When working on the X-band
Turning unit with the top casting raised, always make sure the locking bolt or latch
on the stay is in the locked position.

74 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Installation of Scanners NGSM 10/25 kW X-Band Up/Down Mast

The Turning unit is bolted to the mounting platform with four Neoprene isolating
pads (65601251) between the Turning unit casting and the mounting platform, to
prevent galvanic corrosion.
Additional washers or pads may be added to level the mounting so that the Turning
unit casting does not twist when the bolts are tightened. M10 washers can be used
as shims, or purpose made parts, produced locally, may be used.

Fig. 69. Fixing Turning unit to mounting platform

Support Casting
The Support casting is factory fitted to the Turning unit and requires no further
assembly during installation.

Performance Monitor
The Performance Monitor comprises the Performance Monitor module, and an
associated control cable. The equipment is normally factory fitted.

Antenna
The Antenna is fitted to the Support casting using the parts listed below (supplied
with the antenna).

• 4 x M8 Stainless Steel Plain Nut (grade 316S16) 4411544;


• 2 x Washer with locking tab 65602122.
Before assembling the Antenna to the Turning unit, remove the waveguide plug from
the underside of the Antenna and the yellow sealing cap from the waveguide
aperture on the top of the Turning unit. DO NOT remove the plastic membrane over
the Turning unit waveguide aperture.

The holes in the support casting are asymmetrically placed to prevent the antenna
being fitted backwards. The support casting has the word “FRONT” visible from
above to help with initial antenna location.

Figure below shows how these are fitted.

Make sure the four Antenna fixing bolts are well coated with Denso paste before
securing to the Turning unit.
Note: The lock tab ends must be bent as shown in the figure below to prevent
rotation of the nuts.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 75


Installation of Scanners NGSM 10/25 kW X-Band Up/Down Mast

Fig. 70. Fixing antenna to support casting

After assembling and securing the antenna to the Turning unit apply a bead of
sealant around the joint between the antenna and support casting. Smooth the
sealant finish with a damp cloth.

Turning Unit Link Settings


To access the PCBs housed in the Turning unit loosen the four bolts securing the
top casting to the bottom casting. Lever the top casting up and secure in position
with the stay locking bracket.

Standard Turning units include the following types:

• 65901Bxx;
• 65925Mxx.
For the standard Turning units, two scanner speed settings are available:

“LOW” and “HIGH”, depending on the following settings of the Motor Drive Board
and the Pulse Bearing PCB Assembly.
Setting link LK1 on the Motor Drive Board 65801811
This link is set during installation and commissioning, and requires no tools to
change it.

The factory default setting is “NORMAL” speed. If no jumper is fitted, the rotational
speed defaults to high-speed.

WARNING!
Under no circumstances should the link position be moved whilst the motor is
running.

With the jumper in the position marked “LO” (pins 1 and 2 – left hand pair),
the nominal scanner speed is 28 rpm, see figure below.

With the jumper in the position marked “HI” (pins 2 and 3 – right hand pair),
the nominal scanner speed is 45 rpm.

Fig. 71. Motor Drive Board 65801811 – Showing Link position

Setting link LK1 on the Pulse Bearing PCB Assembly 65801805


This link does not change the rotational speed of the scanner, but does alter the
ability of the phase-locked loop within the board to track the scanner rotational
speed. The factory default setting is optimised for “LOW” speed. If no jumper is
fitted, the Pulse Bearing PCB Assembly is optimised for highspeed.

CAUTION!
Under no circumstances should the link position be moved whilst the motor is
running.

1. Set the jumper in the position marked ‘1’ (pins 1 and 2 – the lower pair) when
the nominal scanner speed is 28 RPM (“LOW”), see the figure below.

2. Set the jumper in the upper pair position (pins 2 and 3) when the nominal
scanner speed is 45 RPM (“HIGH”).

The link is set during installation and commissioning. The link can be moved with the
PCB in place using long nose pliers. This is not easy because the PCB mounting
bracket obscures the position of the link.

The recommended method is:


1. Loosen the two Pozidriv screws that hold the mounting bracket in place.

2. Slide the whole assembly to the right using the slotted screw holes in the
mounting bracket.

3. Move the assembly forward into a more accessible position for the link to be
moved.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 77


Installation of Scanners NGSM 10/25 kW X-Band Up/Down Mast

During removal and refitting of the mounting bracket, take care not to damage the
teeth on the pulse disc assembly that run between opto-couplers mounted on the
rear of the Pulse Bearing PCB. Before re-tightening the two Pozidriv screws, check
that both pairs of plain and single coil washers are above the top surface of the
mounting bracket and not trapped beneath it.

For an easier installation, it is recommended that you complete this operation, if it is


required, before mounting the Turning unit aloft.

Note: The video cable does not plug into the Input Board, but goes directly to the
receiver. Refer to item Fitting the Cable Glands for further details.

Turning Unit Mains Input Connector (Aloft Transceiver)


The figure below shows details of the Mains Input Connector TSE (Integral
transceiver only). These are accessed by removing the support plate that is held by
four fixing screws (see below). Note that the screws need only be partially undone to
allow the plate to be slide out.

Fig. 74. Turning unit – Mains Input details

Installing X-Band Cables


Before fitting the cables in the Turning unit loosen the four bolts securing the top
casting to the bottom casting. Lever the top casting up and secure in position with
the stay locking bracket.

The table below shows the route each cable uses to enter the Turning unit (with or
without an Integral transceiver). The figure below shows the cable entry points; three
of these are via cable glands labelled 1, 2 and 3.

The RF feeder (waveguide) input is only needed when the transceiver is mounted
below decks (bulkhead). The bulkhead lower casting is different from the masthead
variant because the X-band waveguide flange is mounted on the underside face.

A 6 mm bolt is fitted so that the unit can be connected to the ship’s structure. This
must not be used for any other connection.

For details of how to terminate the cables into their connector blocks, see the
interconnection diagram and cabling schedules in Annex G.

Each cable gland has a waterproof seal and a separate EMC seal. These must be
installed as shown in the figure below.

Details for terminating the RF feeder (waveguide) are given in Annex D.

Fitting the Cable Glands


The installation cables are connected into the Turning unit via the appropriate cable
glands (see above table). The body of the gland fits through a hole in the casting
and is held in position by the Top Nut. Note the “O” ring seal, which is fitted below
the casting surface (input side).

A waterproof seal and an EMC gasket are provided with each gland as shown in the
figure below. Some glands are designed for a single cable; others are intended or
several cables. Unused glands are fitted with a blanking plug. Unused cable entries
are fitted with a sealing pin to maintain the seal integrity.

Fig. 77. Turning unit – Cable gland assemblies

Note: Cable glands and blanking plugs are normally factory fitted to the Turning unit.
Turning units for aloft transceivers do not have cable gland holes.
The waterproofing seal works by clamping onto the cable PVC sheath whereas
the EMC seal clamps onto the cable braid.

Note: Do not to force the outer sheath through the EMC gasket as the gasket can
split.
The braid is also formed into a tail that is grounded by means of an adjacent earth
tag. The fitting procedure is shown in the figure above.
To install the cables:

1. Unscrew the gland nut.

2. Remove the waterproof seal and the EMC gasket.


3. Feed the cables through the gland nut and waterproof seal.

4. Strip the outer sheath to expose approximately:

– 300 mm of braid for the multicore cables;


– 1200 mm of braid for the video coaxial cable.
5. Push the braid back to expose approximately 50 mm of the inner cores.
6. Trim 50 mm off the inner cores.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 81


Installation of Scanners NGSM 10/25 kW X-Band Up/Down Mast

7. Pull the braid back and twist into a point.

8. Feed the cable through the EMC gasket until it is positioned as shown in the
figure above.

9. For the multicore cable: flare the braid out to within approximately 15 mm of the
EMC gasket and form a tail.

10. For the coaxial cable: do not fit the connector at this time.
Assemble Cables into Scanner Unit
To assemble the cables into the scanner unit:

1. Feed the assembled cables and seals into the gland body.

2. Tighten the gland nut to compress the waterproof seal.

3. Crimp the earth tags to the braids of the multicore cables, keeping them as short
as possible.

4. Attach the earth tags with the screws provided.

5. Trim and attach the cable inners to the appropriate connectors.

6. The video coaxial cable does not plug into SKV on the Input PCB, but is
connected to SKV on the receiver assembly.

7. Sleeve the braid of the coaxial cable with the 6 mm sleeving supplied.

8. Route the cable through the slot at the end of the filter box cover, along the
cable loom on the right hand side of the scanner unit.

9. Use cable ties to clip it to the loom.

10. Trim to length and fit the coaxial plug.

11. For systems using below-decks transceivers the performance monitor trigger
coaxial cable is terminated in the same way, but only needs to be stripped back
200 mm, as it is plugged into SKP on the Input PCB.
Assemble Cables into Turning Unit
To assemble the cables into the Turning unit:

1. Feed the assembled cables and seals into the gland body.
2. Tighten the gland nut until the EMC seal is compressed.

3. Crimp the earth tags provided to the braids of the multicore cables

4. Attach them to the earth studs adjacent to the cables. The tails should be as
short as is practicable.
5. Trim and make off the cable inners to the appropriate terminal blocks.

6. Trim the coaxial cables to length.

7. Slide the plastic sleeve supplied in the despatch kit over the exposed braid.
8. Fit the coaxial connectors.

9. Plug them into the appropriate sockets.

10. Secure the video coaxial cable to the Turning unit using a cable tie on the top
housing and two cable clamps on the lower housing, see the figure below.

Fig. 78. Securing coax cable in masthead Turning unit

Earthing
The common earth point of the power supply of the ship must be connected to the
chassis (case) of the radar unit receiving the supply. Use the crimp tags at the cable
entry points to make this earth connection.

X-Band Bulkhead Transceiver


The bulkhead transceiver, type 65810A to 65810W (10 kW) or 65825A to 65825W
(25kW) is installed below decks in a suitable location such as the ship’s equipment
room.

The installation should consider accessibility for maintenance and servicing, and the
distance between the Transceiver and the Scanner unit. For maximum performance,
this should be kept as short as practicable: the loss per metre of the X-band
waveguide is typically 10 dB per 100 metres (2 dB for 20 metres). This loss applies
to both the transmitted RF pulse and the received signals.

The maximum recommended cable length using standard coaxial cable (PT1YM) is:

• 30 metres between the Turning unit and the Transceiver unit and;
• 67 metres between the Transceiver unit and display.
Greater separation is possible by using a lower loss cable. Contact Northrop
Grumman Sperry Marine B.V. if greater separation is required.

When choosing the installation location for the transceiver, routing of the RF feeder
(waveguide) should be carefully considered.

The transceiver may be attached to the bulkhead by several methods. The actual
method chosen will depend on individual circumstances, with due regard given to
the likely vibration and shock loading which may be experienced. The available
methods include through bolting to the bulkhead, or mounting on studs supplied by
the shipyard. Slotted mounts are supplied at the bottom for ease of installation.

Bulkhead Transceiver Cabling Information


The figure below shows details of the cable input. The transceiver cover, which is
secured by four fixing screws, is shown removed. A cable-retainer holds the coaxial
cables in place. The cables must be fitted to the retainer after the cables are in
place.

All other cables, with the exception of the X-band RF feeder (waveguide), are
individually clamped on their cable braids to provide EMC shielding. The braids are
also made off as tails and connected to earth tags supplied.

The AC mains input is connected to TSE located underneath the cover plate as
shown in the figure below.

Bulkhead Transceiver Input PCB Details:


The figure below shows details of the Input PCB Assembly 65801814.

Access to the board is made by removing the main transceiver cover and the Filter
Box cover. See interconnection diagram enclosed in Annex G for details of the
connections, which are made by using the two-part connectors supplied.

Configuration for normal operation is by link settings as follows:

• LK2 Link pins 2 and 3;


• LK3 Link pins 2 and 3.

Sealing the Turning Unit


Before securing the top casting and bottom casting of the Turning unit ensure the
seal groove in the top casting and the mating faces of the top casting and lower
casting are liberally coated with the petroleum jelly supplied (MA00013789).

Apply denso paste (9037446) to the four top casting retaining bolts.

Fig. 84. Sealing the Turning unit

Optional Mains Isolator


It is good practice to include Mains Isolator Switches Type 65800700 in the system
wiring of AC powered systems. Their function is to let the Scanner Unit (with the
exception of the Motor Supply in S-band systems ) be isolated from the ship’s mains
supply.

If needed, the Mains Isolator can be locked in the OFF position using a suitable
padlock.

In multiple radar systems more than one isolating switch may be needed.
For connection of Isolating Switch to the Transceiver, see interconnections diagrams
enclosed in Annex G.

WINTERISATION HEATER KITS FOR NGSM SCANNERS


TURNING UNITS

General Description
Design Requirements
The Winterisation Heater Kits have been designed to meet the requirements of
vessels operating in cold climates, to enable Marine Navigation Radar Turning units
to be operated in temperatures down to -55°C. They will also keep Turning units free
from ice, though the temperature range for keeping Turning units free from ice
depends on installation location, wind and precipitation conditions. The kits are
designed to be fitted to Turning units in the field at or after installation.

Scope of Supply
The kits consist of heating attachments and the materials required to mount them on
turning units. Additional materials required for electrical installation, such as circuit
protection, isolation switches, junction boxes and temperature control devices are
not supplied, and are expected to be sourced by the shipyard or installer. Some
guidance on selection and specification is given in the paragraph Applications
Guidance and in the Chapter 3 below.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 89


Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

Fig. 87. 659xx series X-band Turning unit with 65901730 heating kit fitted

Fig. 88. 65830 series S-band Turning unit with masthead transceiver,

with 65830730 heater kit fitted

Technical Description
Each heating attachment consists of a self regulating heating element and metal
structure to mount the heating element on the exterior surface of a Turning unit.

The X-band type clips onto the top face of turning units from the 65901, 65910 and
65925 series, while the S-band types are fitted by removing some external covers
from the Turning units of the 65830 series, and replacing them with covers with
integrated heating elements.

Each heater is fitted with a 10 m flying lead for termination in local anti-ice or
de-icing circuits. The cable is of NGSM type MA00014191 which is manufactured to
Def Stan 61-12 Part 5 with designation 37-3-2R but with low smoke, zero halogen
and flame retardant sheath. Note that junction boxes for these connections are
shipyard or local supply.

The heating elements used in the kits are based on self-regulating ‘PTC’ thermistor
modules and are designed for use with 208 V ‘cross-phase’ or 220-240 V single
phase AC electrical supplies at 50 or 60 Hz.

Ambient Temperature Ranges


The heater circuits should only be live in cold conditions, or when ice accretion is
occurring locally to the equipment. If the heating attachments are left powered when
the ambient temperature is higher than 0 °C, the service life of turning units and
masthead transceivers may be significantly reduced. Depending on weather
fluctuations in the area of operation, it may be advisable to use a temperature
controlled winterisation circuit, to ensure that the circuit is only live in cold conditions.
Note that the turning units are rated to operate down to -40°C without heaters.
For further applications guidance, see below paragraph Applications Guidance.

Installation and Commissioning


Before commencing installation, isolate power from the radar system.

Mechanical Installation – X-Band


1. Ensure the top surface of the Turning unit is clear from debris: Wipe the surface
with a damp rag to remove any accreted salt or other foreign substance.
Anything adhered to the top face of the Turning unit will reduce the effective
transfer of heat into the Turning unit housing and is therefore undesirable.

2. Remove the heating attachment from its packaging and uncoil the factory fitted
power cable. Run the power cable away from the cable gland end of the Turning
unit, over the curved top face and down from the top surface towards the hinge.

3. Keeping the power cable out of the way, place the heater assembly on the top
face of the Turning unit. Note that there is a cut-out in the heater assembly
chassis that fits over the performance monitor radome – see the figure below.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 91


Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

Fig. 91. Securing X-band heater using supplied clamps

4. The heat transfer pad on the underside of the heating assembly should sit flat
on the top face of the Turning unit. If it does not; ensure that the heating
assembly is properly aligned with the Turning unit top face and that nothing is
trapped between the Turning unit and the heating plate. It should drop into place
and make good thermal contact.

5. Referring to the figure above, fit the two side clamps, together with the disc
spring washers and vibration-proof retaining nuts. These fasten the assembly
down tightly onto the top face of the Turning unit.

6. Fit the cable-tie clamp block according to the detail given in the figure below and
fasten the cable to it using a cable tie. Secure the cable along its length, as
required.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 95


Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

When fitting the heater attachments, observe the following detail:

• To ensure a long product life, the Turning unit end-cover seals and mating
surfaces should be liberally coated with the petroleum jelly provided in the
installation kit.
• To reduce corrosion and the accretion of salt, and to aid future maintenance, all
fixing hardware used (nuts, bolts, screws etc.) should be liberally coated with the
Densopaste provided in the installation kit.
• The Turning unit end-covers are fitted with a safety cord. Ensure that the safety
cord is correctly fastened between the heated covers and the Turning unit.
• The end-cover retaining screws are fitted with screw-retaining split washers –
ensure that these are not left in the threaded mounting holes on removing the
unheated covers, and that they do not snag on fitting the heated covers.
Beware that these split washers must be handled carefully, and can present a
sharp point or edge to the installer.

Electrical Installation X/S-Band


Run a protective earth conductor of minimum 4 mm² cross-sectional area from the
M6 earthing stud provided on each heater assembly to the Turning unit protective
earthing stud. Ensure that a protective earth conductor has been fitted from the
Turning unit earthing stud to the ship’s superstructure or protective earthing network.
Apply Densopaste to the earth studs, washers and nuts, once the connection is
made, to protect them from corrosion.

Run the power cable from each heater assembly to a local anti-ice/de-ice junction
box. Note that junction boxes are expected to be shipyard or local supply. Cut the
cable to length, as required. In the junction box, wire the cables into the ships power
circuits that are to be used for the heaters. Ensure that the cable entry method is
weather proof by using sealing glands.

The cable is a flat rounded cable of dimensions 10.5 x 6.5 mm with 37/0.315 tinned
copper conductors and a heavy tinned copper braid shield – see construction below.
See the VMFT manual for more details of this cable. NGSM can supply glands and
gland inserts suitable for this cable type, if required – part numbers 65830206,
65830207, 65830208 and 65830210.

Fig. 98. Cross section of cable MA00014191

The conductor connections are as follows:

• Red conductor - Live or Live 1;


• Blue conductor - Neutral or Live 2;
• Braid shield - Protective earth (connected to Heater Assy. Metalwork).
Electrical Circuit Protection
The heater circuits should be fitted with circuit protection as listed in the table below.

Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

Electrical Circuit Control


Note that the heater circuits should only be live in very cold conditions, or when ice
accretion is occurring locally to the equipment. If the heating attachments are left
powered when the ambient temperature is higher than 0 °C, the service life of
turning units and masthead transceivers may be significantly reduced. It is advisable
to use a temperature-controlled winterisation circuit, to ensure that the circuit is only
live in cold conditions. For further applications guidance, see below paragraph
Applications Guidance.

Commissioning
There is no setting-up or adjustment required. Commissioning will thus consist of
checking the electrical connection and supply voltage of the heaters and verifying
that each of the heaters is active when its power circuit is energized.

The latter is best done by measuring the surface temperature of the heater
assembly housing before and after energizing the circuit. The heaters will become
appreciably warmer within a few minutes, if the power connection has been correctly
made.

WARNING!
Beware that the surface temperature of the heaters can exceed 100 °C when the
power is on. Hot surface warning labels are fitted for this reason.

Operation
Ambient Oerating Temperature
The winterization heaters should be powered only in very cold conditions, or when
ice accretion is occurring locally to the equipment. The power to the heaters should
be switched off when the outside air temperature is above 0 °C.

Operating instructions (Important Information!)


From a cold start-up in -55 °C, the Turning units reach operational temperature
within 90 minutes. There is no indication available of turning unit temperature.

If a Turning unit is operated before operational temperature is reached, the turning


mechanism will not rotate at the correct operational speed. Typically, if the correct
operational speed is not achieved within two rotations of the antenna, the transmitter
will not operate, and the transceiver will be set back to standby.

If it is repeatedly attempted to start the turning unit below operational temperature,


damage to the turning unit and transceiver can occur.

If operation is attempted and failed, it is advised to wait a further 30 minutes before


attempting again. If a second attempt fails, isolate the transceiver and turning gear
electrical supply and go aloft to check the turning gear is not seized or obstructed
with ice.

Accumulation of Ice
The heaters are not intended to de-ice the Turning unit after a long period of icing
with the heaters turned off. Ice that has accumulated while the heaters are powered
down must be carefully removed using traditional means (mechanical / steam
lances). A prolonged warm up time will loosen the ice, allowing it to be removed
carefully by hand.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 97


Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

Beware that some Turning unit and antenna surfaces can be damaged by impact
and sharp objects.

Applications Guidance
Winterisation Heater Eelectrical Supply and Control
Inrush Current
The inrush current into the large heaters (types 65901675, 65830657 and
65830658) at cold start-up in -55 °C is shown in the graph below.

The inrush current to the S-band gearbox heater (type 65830659) is 1/6 the level for
the large heaters – that is, peaking at 10 A RMS when started from cold in -55 °C.

Fig. 99. Winterisation heater inrush current at 230 V AC

The 15 A warm-up current reduces to 7 A within 15 minutes.


Supply Rating and Cable Sizing
The power cable to each of the large heaters requires circuit protection equivalent to
a 16 A MCB. An MCB with curve Type C is required to avoid inadvertent tripping
with the inrush current shown above.

If more than one heater is fitted, then the circuit protection, isolation and control
regime used depends on whether the supply has the capacity to deliver the total
inrush current of all heaters fitted.

It is the responsibility of the installation designer to ensure the protection, isolation


and control of platform electrical circuits are suitable for the number of winterization
kits installed.

If Supply Has Capacity for Total Inrush


If the supply has the capacity to deliver the combined inrush current, then a group of
heaters can be powered up together. Examples are given below for a main radar
installation of one X-band and one S-band radar. For other configurations, calculate
the total inrush current and total warm-up current from the graph at the beginning of
this section, or contact NGSM for further assistance.
230 V Single Phase and 208 V Cross-Phase Supply
Single phase supplies require 190 A of inrush capacity and 47.5 A warm-up current.
A Type C MCB rated at no less than 50 A would be suitable to avoid inadvertent
tripping. For a 50 A Type C MCB, the incoming main supply cable conductor cross
section will need to be at least 6 mm², depending on the rules applied and the cable
type used.

98 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

Fig. 100. 230 V single phase and 208 V cross-phase supply

415 V Three Phase and Neutral Supply


In this case the load can be shared across the three phases, such that the inrush
current on any one line of the incoming supply cable is limited to one large heater
and the S-band gearbox heater – or a maximum 70 A inrush and 17.5 A warm-up
current. The incoming breaker required would therefore be selected for protection
differentiation, rather than to avoid inadvertent tripping on inrush: - A four-pole
Type C MCB rated at 32 A minimum would be suitable. For a 32 A Type C MCB,
the incoming four conductor cable would need a cross section of at least 4 mm² per
conductor, again depending on the rules applied and cable type used.

208 V Three Phase Supply


If a 208 V three phase supply is used, the maximum inrush on any one phase is one
large heater and the gearbox heater, which results in a maximum inrush current of
120 A on any one line, and a warm-up current of 30 A (line current is [square-root of
three] x phase current for ‘delta’ connections). For this load, a three pole 32 A
Type C breaker is suitable. The incoming three conductor cable would need a cross-
section of at least 4 mm² per conductor, depending on the rules applied and cable
type used.

Fig. 102. 208 V three phase supply

Manual Heater Switching and Isolation


Disconnector Rating
If all the heaters are to be powered on at once, then this can be done using a single
manual isolating ‘disconnector’ on the incoming mains supply. The disconnector
needs be rated to support the full inrush current. See the table below for the AC-1
utilization rating for difference supply configurations.
Switching Heater Supplies with a Contactor
If a lower rating isolating switch is preferred, then a contactor can be used to turn the
heater supplies on and off, and the isolating switch used for safety purposes only.
Isolators are typically rated at higher levels for infrequent emergency circuit
disconnection. The contactor can then be controlled using a separate low current
switch with a fused supply.

Contactors are typically specified to tolerate a make and break current three
timestheir nominal rated current. The table below shows typical contactor ratings
required for different supply configurations.

Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Scanners Turning Units

Automatic Temperature Control of Heaters


Automatic temperature control of the heaters can be achieved by using a
temperature switch to bring the heaters on when the outside air temperature is
below a predetermined value. NGSM recommend that the heaters are not used in
above 0 °C.

Fig. 103. Automatic temperature control of heaters

To control the heaters using a temperature switch, suitably rated contactors are
required. The temperature switch then applies or removes power to the contactor
coil, switching the high current circuits to the heaters on and off, depending on the
outside air temperature. If the contactors do not have an integral coil suppression
device then fitting one will preserve the life of the temperature switch contacts.

Reducing Maximum Inrush and Warm-Up Current


If the main supply cannot support the total inrush current of all heaters coming on at
once, or it is desirable to use lower cable and switchgear ratings, then the heaters
should be started in sequence.

The maximum inrush in the 230 V single phase example above can be reduced from
190 A to 90 A by waiting two seconds between starting each heater. It is also
possible to reduce the required rating of the incoming supply cable and breaker to
32 A by starting two large heaters, allowing the warm-up current to reduce for 15
minutes and then start the remaining one large and one small heater.

To turn the heaters on in sequence, either the MCBs themselves can be used as
disconnectors, which may limit their operating life, or each heater can be controlled
by a separate disconnector or by a contactor with a low current switch to control it.
Reducing Maximum Currents with Automatic Temperature Control
Automatic temperature control of the heaters becomes problematic in systems
where the main heater power supply cannot support the total inrush current of all the
heaters being switched on at once. In this case, the heater supplies will need to be
switched by separate contactors, and time-delay relays will be required to switch the
heaters on in sequence, with at least two seconds between each heater being
switched on.

Maintenance and Spares


The Winterisation Heater Assemblies are not serviceable. If replacement assemblies
are required, they can be supplied separately.

Note that the installation materials are not provided with each individual heater
assembly, but are provided in the installation kit, which is available for purchase

SENSOR CONNECTIONS
For the connection of the MFD with navigational sensors, use double core screened
cable in the insulating shell, category TP5. The screen is connected to earthing on
the sensor side. Where the level of electromagnetic field is insignificant, “twisted
pair” type unscreened cable may be used. As the electric current in the cable does
not exceed 20 mA, the conductors’ cross section is of no importance. The maximum
length of the cable will depend on the type of interface and is shown for each
specific sensor in the appropriate connection schedule.
The block diagram of connection between the sensors and MFD is provided below
(for more detailed information, see diagrams presented in Annex E – Annex J):

Wiring Requirements
This paragraph describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.

You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding
with the installation of any electronic device:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and
device wiring paths must cross make sure the wires are perpendicular at the
intersection point;
Note: Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the
same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires
should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar
electrical characteristics can be bundled together;
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate;
• It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

“Garbage” Data Elimination


It may happen so that “garbage” data is received on NMEA ports if they are not
connected to any data source. This data will cause no harm, but may look strange.
“Garbage” data is easy to eliminate, even though it does not interfere with our
applications. We suggest to short unused NMEA inputs with a jumper-wire between
RA-RB on the NMEA plug.

Installation and Mounting Requirements


• Adequate ventilation is a necessary prerequisite for the life of the product. The
air inlet and outlet openings must definitely be kept clear; coverings which
restrict ventilation are not permissible.
• Do not install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), as this will cause
heat to build up inside the unit which will damage the LCD panel. To prevent this
problem, it is recommended installing the unit in a vertical position (±30
degrees) to improve the airflow through the unit.
• To further improve the cooling of the unit, it is recommended installing cooling
fans underneath blowing upwards into the unit air inlet. This may be required in
high temperature applications and also when there is reason to expect
temperature problems due to non-optimal way of mounting.
• Exposure to extreme direct sunlight can cause a considerable increase in the
temperature of the unit, and might under certain circumstances lead to
overtemperature. This point should already be taken into consideration when the
bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows,
ventilation, etc.).
• Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating procedures
and for maintenance, must be provided.
• Mounting position must carefully be selected to avoid heavy vibration and
acoustic noise.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 115


Workstation Installation

• The distance of each electronics unit from the magnetic standard compass or
the magnetic steering compass must not be less than the permitted magnetic
protection distance. This distance is measured from the centre of the magnetic
system of the compass to the nearest point on the corresponding unit
concerned.

Connections
Use only high quality shielded signal cables.

Fig. 121. Cable entries and connectors

Any cable should generally be kept as short as possible to provide a high quality
input/output. The maximum signal cable length will depend on the signal resolution
and frequency, but also on the quality of the signal output from the computer/radar.

Installation and Handling Notes


Before installing and mounting the MPC-2240X panel computer, please read the
following notes:

• The MPC-2240X is designed for mounting on a desktop, wall, or an FDMI/VESA


interface. Please refer to the relevant mechanical drawings in the next few
sections for detailed instructions on each method.
• To prolong product lifespan good ventilation must be maintained around the
machinery. The chassis’ heat-sink area MUST keep clear from other heat
generating items, otherwise damage to the system motherboard may occur. The
minimal distance that must be maintained between the heat sink and another
heat source is 150 mm.
• DO NOT install the unit horizontally (i.e.: lying down, on its back), as the heat
will not be dissipated effectively and will damage the LCD panel. To assure
adequate heat dissipation the unit should be installed vertically, or within a ±40
degrees slope off the vertical.
• Exposure to extreme direct sunlight may cause a considerable increase in the
temperature of the unit, and under certain circumstances might lead to
overheating. Please take this point into consideration when the bridge
equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows,
ventilation, etc.)
• Exposure to strong vibration or loud, chronic noise might affect functionality
and/or product lifetime. It is advised to take vibration and noise into
consideration during system assembly and installation, so that the mount point
may be carefully selected to avoid exposure to undue vibration.
• For maximum safety, at least two persons should work together to lift, place,
and fasten the computer at its mount point. Before you lift or move the
computer, first verify both it is turned off and no power is being supplied to the
system. In addition, make sure you have prepared the correct screws for the
mounting.

Desktop Mounting
The MPC-2240X comes with optional brackets that allow you to install the panel
computer on a horizontal surface such as a desktop. Please keep in mind that desktop
mounting is only offered as a temporary mount; permanent use of the MPC-2240X as a
desktop computer is not recommended.

Three round head screws are required for each bracket. See the figure below for screw
specifications and their torque value.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 121


Workstation Installation

Fig. 129. Desktop mounting

Place the MPC-2240X panel computer on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For
better ventilation, leave some space between the MPC-2240X and other equipment.
Do not place equipment or objects on top of the computer, as this might damage the
computer’s internal components.

Note: These desktop brackets are intended for temporary use when conducting lab
tests, and are not intended to be used in permanent deployments.

Wall Mounting
The MPC-2240X comes with 14 optional clamp mounts that allow for installation onto a
wall (where space has been cut out to accommodate the rest of the hardware), or into
computing stations where a flush mount is desired. The maximum thickness of the
surface to which the computer may be clamped is 11 mm. For a secure mounting, all
14 clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of
the MPC-2240X.

Wiring Requirements
This paragraph describes how to connect serial devices to the embedded computer.

You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with
the installation of any electronic device:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and
device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the
intersection point.
Note: Do not run signal or communications wires together with power wires in the
same conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics
should be routed separately.

124 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Workstation Installation

• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires
should be kept separate and which bundled together. The rule of thumb is that
wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• It is advisable to label all wires used in the system.

ATTENTION!
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring the MPC-2240X.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire.
Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire
size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious damage to your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal
components generate heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the
touch. We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up
within the display:
• Position the display within ±40° of the vertical;
• Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the display if (a) the
display is not positioned within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature
exceeds 25°C, or (c) the display is used in a location with minimal ventilation.
Important Safety Precaution!
Even though the display is rated to operate within the IEC 60945 standard of -15 to
55°C for marine applications, it is best to ensure that the ambient temperature does
not exceed 25°C. Doing so will increase the life of your display and minimize service
costs.

Grounding
Before you power on the MPC-2240X, first ground it. Proper grounding and wire
routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run
the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting the power.

Fig. 132. Grounding

ATTENTION!
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as
a metal panel.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 127


Workstation Installation

Installing SATA Hard Disks


The MPC-2240X has two trays for SATA hard disks. To install the 2.5-inch SATA
hard disks, follow these instructions. For the best reliability, we suggest you use solid
state drives.

1. First, locate the SATA trays on the bottom surface of the computer. For ease of
installation, we strongly suggest you lay the MPC-2240X on a non-abrasive
surface with its display panel face down.

2. Insert the drive door key and turn it left to unlock the cover of the storage trays.
3. Open the tray cover by lifting the lever on the tray door.

4. Install the SATA drive into the tray. Make sure you insert it in the correct
direction. Close the tray by pushing the door lever inwards. If you cannot
smoothly secure the hard drive in the slot, it is most likely that you have inserted
the drive in the wrong direction.

5. Make sure you have securely fastened the door lever. Use the same method to
install another SATA hard disk into the other tray. If you need to install only one
hard drive, we strongly suggest you install it in the tray nearest the display
panel. If you need to install two hard drives, install the first disk in the tray
nearest the display panel first, and then install the second disk in the other tray.
When finished, use the protection key to lock the storage trays in place.

6. To remove a drive, simply pull up the door lever and fold the tray door back. The
drive should automatically eject part way.

ES6 Keyboard Connections


CAN
Both ends of the CAN network must be terminated with 120 ohm resistor.
Node number is selectable 0–9 by jumpers (configuration switch).

Node number 0 (ES3 mode), or 7 (ES6 mode), or 8 (ES6 mode), or 9 (ES4 mode) is
considered master node, and must be selected for the keyboard connected to PC by
PS/2 or USB. This must be true even if only one node exists.

Information received by the master from the PC is sent out on the CAN-bus, and slave
units will act accordingly (indicators on/off etc.). Information received by the master
from the CAN-bus will be transferred to the PC if there is no risk for misinterpretation
(e.g., if any key is down, no keys on other keyboards may be sent to PC).

Units with node numbers 1–6 are considered peripheral (slave) units. Each unit must
have a unique number (not two with the same number).

Data from the keyboard is transferred to the CAN-bus. Data from the CAN-bus
(regarding indicators, background light etc.) is received and action is taken.

152 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Workstation Installation

Note: For operation on two of the phase conductors of a three-phase system,


an isolating facility for all poles must be provided.
• Input:

Fig. 160. View of Input

– Protecting the primary side:


The device must be installed in according with the regulations as in
EN 60950. It must be possible to disconnect the device using a suitable
isolating facility outside the power supply. The primary side line protection,
for example, is suitable. For device protection, there is an internal fuse.
Additional device protection is not necessary.
– Recommended backup fuse for mains protection:
Power circuit breaker 10 A or 16 A, characteristic B (or identical function).
In DC applications, a suitable fuse must be wired in upstream.
Note: If an internal fuse is triggered, there is most probably a malfunction
in the device. In this case, the device must be inspected in the factory!
• Output:

Fig. 161. View of Output

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 153


Workstation Installation

– Connecting the Output:


The connection is established using screw connections on the screw
connection of the DC output:
24 V DC: “+” and “-”;
DC OK switching output active: “DC OK” and “-”;
DC OK output floating: “13” and “14”;
POWER BOOST switching output active: “I < IN” and “-”.
At the time of delivery, the output voltage is 24 V DC. The output voltage can
be set on the potentiometer.
– Protecting the Secondary Side:
The device is electronically protected against short circuit and idling.
In the event of a malfunction, the output voltage is limited to 35 V DC.
Note: Make sure that all output lines are dimensioned according to the maximum
output current or are separately protected. The cables on the secondary side
must have sufficiently large cross sections in order to keep the voltage drops
on the lines as low as possible.
• Signaling:
The active signal output, the floating signal contact and the active POWER
BOOST switching output are provided for function monitoring. The DC OK-LED
and the BOOST-LED also enable the function evaluation of the power supply
unit directly on the operation site (see table below).
Table 56. Signaling

Meaning Normal operation of POWER BOOST Overload mode, e.g.,
the power supply operation, e.g., to consumer short circuit
(Uout > 21.5 V) start loads or overload
– Floating contact:
The floating signal contact opens and signalizes a drop in the output voltage
as set of more than 10%. Signals and ohmic loads of up to 30 V and currents
of up to 1 A can be connected. For heavily inductive loads such as a relay,
a suitable protection circuit (e.g., damping diode) is necessary;

Fig. 162. Floating contacts drawing

154 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Workstation Installation

– Active signal outputs:


The 24 V DC signal is applied between the “DC OK” and the “-” connecting
terminal blocks or between “I < IN” and “-” and can carry up to 1 mA. By
switching from “active high” to “low”, the DC OK signal output signalizes when
the output voltage is more than 10% below the output voltage. The DC OK
signal is decoupled from the power output. It is thus not possible for parallel
switched devices to provide external supply. The 24 V DC signal can be
directly connected to a logic input for evaluation. The POWER BOOST signal
output signalizes that the nominal current is exceeded;

Fig. 163. Active signal outputs drawing

– Signal loop:
Monitoring two devices: use the active signal output of device 1 and loop
in the floating signal output of device 2. In the event of malfunctioning, a
common alarm is output. Any number of devices can be looped in. This signal
combination saves wiring costs and logic inputs.

ends:

To maintain UL approvals, use copper cables, which are designed for operating
temperatures >75°C (167°F). To meet GL requirements, unused terminal
compartments should be closed.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 157


Workstation Installation

• Input:
The QUINT-DC-UPS is connected to the 24 V DC output of the power supply via
the “Input +” and “Input -” terminal blocks. The output is isolated from the input
by the internal diode. The stored power is only supplied to the output.
The device is protected against over current and short circuit by an internal
input fuse. Additional device protection is not required.

Note: If an internal fuse is blown, this is most probably due to a device fault. In this
case, the device should be checked in the factory.
• Output:
All devices that must be supplied without interruption in the event of a supply
voltage failure (“Buffered Load”), are connected to the “Output +” and “Output -”
terminal blocks of the DC output. It is recommended that all other loads, which
do not require buffering (“Unbuffered Load”), are connected to the 24 V DC
output of the power supply. This increases the buffer time, as this time depends
on the output current. The internal diode ensures that the buffered loads
are isolated from the unbuffered loads.

• Battery module:
Note: Adjust Battery capacity according to real battery you have on board.
The battery module is connected to the QUINT-DC-UPS via the “Battery +”
and “Battery -” terminal blocks. To interrupt the charge/discharge current of
the battery module, the “Battery module selection” selector switch 14 must be
set to “Service” (see figure below).

Fig. 169. “Battery Module Selection” selector

The QUINT-DC-UPS is optimized for use with QUINT-BAT/24DC type battery


modules.

The following battery modules are recommended:

– QUINT-BAT/24DC/3,4AH (Order No. 2866349);


– QUINT-BAT/24DC/7,2AH (Order No. 2866352);
– QUINT-BAT/24DC/12AH (Order No. 2866365).
Following successful installation, the capacity of the connected battery module
must be selected using the “Battery module selection” rotary switch 14.

Note: The fuse on the battery module must be removed when installing or replacing
the battery module.

158 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Workstation Installation

• Signaling outputs:
The signal outputs are connected via terminal blocks 11/12/13 (4), 21/22/23 (5)
or 31/32/33 (6). The contacts are floating contacts. The plug-in bridge provided
can be used to supply +24 V to grouped contacts 11, 21, 31. This means that
N/C contacts 12, 22, 32 and N/O contacts 13, 23, 33 can be evaluated as
switching outputs with 0 V and +24 V voltage levels.

• Remote Shutdown:
The device has a UPS remote shutdown function for specific shutdown.

Remote shutdown must be deactivated for the device to switch to buffer mode
in the event of a supply voltage failure.

– Remote Shutdown Off:


The “Remote shutdown R1” and “Remote shutdown R2” terminal points
are short circuited (e.g., with a plug-in bridge) OR. The “Remote
shutdown R2” terminal point is supplied with a 24 V DC voltage.
The QUINT-DC-UPS switches to buffer mode in the event of a supply
voltage failure.
– Remote Shutdown On:
The “Remote shutdown R1” and “Remote shutdown R2” terminal points
are not connected.
All LED’s are off.
The QUINT-DC-UPS does not switch to buffer mode in the event of a
supply voltage failure, instead the device is shut down. When the supply
voltage is reapplied, the battery module is charged and the device
remains off until remote shutdown is deactivated.
Connected loads are supplied as long as the supply voltage is present.

Fig. 170. Remote shutdown

Setting options on the device


• Buffer Time Setting:
Buffer mode can be exited after a predefined time has elapsed or by external
shutdown. If the device is to be shut down after a specific time has elapsed,
the time can be set via the selector switch 13 on the front of the device. When
the supply voltage is reapplied, the device can switch to buffer mode again.

ATTENTION!
The buffer time setting must be set to value not less than 1 minute according
to MFD requirements.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 159


Workstation Installation

Note: Adjust Buffer time tmax to ”∞”.


• Battery Module Setting:
Before startup, the capacity of the battery module used must be set on the
device via the selector switch 14. When replacing the battery, the selector switch
must be set to “Service”.

Fig. 171. Settings

Method of Operation
In the event of a power failure at the output, the QUINT-DC-UPS supplies all
connected devices with a 24 V DC voltage without interruption at a load current up
to 20 A. When the 24 V supply voltage is applied, the connected battery module is
charged. In the event of a supply voltage failure, the battery module is connected
to the output, and the stored power ensures that all connected devices continue
to operate without interruption. The professional signaling via function LED’s and
floating PDT contacts enables reliable evaluation of all the main operating states.

• Output Voltage:
In normal operation, the QUINT-DC-UPS output voltage corresponds to the
usual supply voltage. If the supply voltage drops more than 1 V in the space of
0.1 seconds or falls below the minimum threshold of 22 V, the device switches
to buffer mode. If the output voltage drops below 20.4 V in buffer mode, this is
indicated by the Alarm indicator. If the output voltage drops to 19.2 V because
the battery module is flat, the device is shut down completely. When the supply
voltage is reapplied, the device automatically switches on again. The device is
electronically short circuit- proof and idling-proof.

• Signaling:
Three floating PDT contacts and three indicators are provided for function
monitoring.

Weidmüller UPS Installation


CP DC UPS 24V 20A/10A
Part. No.: 18162320.
Introduction
The UPS control units CP DC UPS 24V are built-in installation units featuring IP20
protection. They should be installed in an appropriate enclosure (such as an
electrical cabinet or distributor box) which provides a sufficient level of protection so
that live current-carry components cannot be touched and so that dust and water
cannot penetrate the unit. The UPS control units, along with the battery modules CP
A Battery 24V DC and Weidmüller PRO-M power supplies, can be assembled into a
DC-UPS. The DC-USV bridges mains interruptions and mains voltage dips and
ensures an interruption-free power supply to connected loads.

Note: Selection charts for choosing the right battery according buffering time and
load current can be found in the Technical specification for battery modules
enclosed below in Chapter 3.
The UPS control unit detects the failure or drop down of the DC input voltage and
switches immediately over to battery mode. The battery module takes over
supplying the connected load for a specified time. The UPS control unit will switch
back to normal mode when the main supply is reinstated and will recharge the
battery module. Battery charging follows a temperature-compensated IU
characteristic.

An easy to use LED display and multiple signal outputs provide comprehensive
status monitoring. The connected batteries are tested cyclically for availability.

Basically the alarm relay has a negative logic, means it´s energized when everything
is OK and is de-energized in case of an alarm.
By the way, if you need a positive logic, then you can invert the alarm by setting the
DIP switch (see above item DIP Switch).
The UPS controller is frequently looking whether a battery is available (once a
minute). If not, then the alarm relay will be de-energized.
The same can happen in buffering mode when the battery is low and will be cut-off.
Connection of UPS Alarms to RS6 Computer
It is necessary to connect Quint UPS alarms to RS6/RS6B computer due to fact that
UPS has no acoustic information about its problems.

Connect 4 wires as shown on drawing below and on diagram “Dual ECDIS.


Weidmuller UPS. Connection Diagram” presented in Annex J:

• First input from RS6B computer to UPS alarm output: “Low Battery” alarm
(Normally Open contact terminals 11-12).
• Second input from RS6B computer to UPS Battery mode output: “Power Supply
Failure” (“Buffer Mode”) alarm (Normally Open contact terminals 21-24).

Battery Selector Switch / Replacing Battery


The battery selector switch must be set to the right “Ah” position for optimal battery
charging and setting of the internal monitoring function. In the event, that a battery or
replacement battery is not available, the “No Batt.” Switch setting can be used. All
battery relevant signals, failures and displays will be suppressed.

For replacement or any work on the battery module, the selector switch must be set
into “Service” position. This will switch off the charger. The following sequence must
be adhered to:

• Set selector switch into „Service“ position;


• Remove the battery fuses intergated in the battery module;
• Disconnect the wiring or the battery plug;
• For commissioning, the reverse sequence must be used.

Fig. 183. Battery selector switch

Note: Adjust Battery capacity according to real battery you have on board.
Settings for Battery Operation
There are 3 different operating modes:

• Battery shut-down after preset time (0.5…45 min);


• Battery shut-down on reaching deep discharge threshold of 19.2 V DC (∞);
• Battery deep discharge up to 15 V DC (w/o ∞).
When shutting down at the preset time, the battery voltage is also monitored for
deep discharge threshold. If the deep discharge threshold is reached before the time
expires it will also be shut down. In operating mode “w/o ∞”, the battery will be
discharged up to 15 V DC. This action is likely to cause damage to the battery.
Therefore this type of battery deep discharge should only be chosen if required for
safety-related reasons.

Fig. 184. Settings for battery operation

Note: Adjust Buffer time to ”w/o ∞”.


Changeover Switch for Output Current
The changeover switch (20A/10A) can be used to set the overload detection on the
output (during battery operation).

Mains Voltage and Fusing


The device can be connected to either a three-phase or DC power network. Two-
phase operation is also possible. Be sure that the poles are connected properly
when connecting to a DC system. The device is equipped with internal fuses for
every phase. Thus no external device protection is required. The recommended
back-up fuse is listed in the Technical specifications enclosed below in Chapter 3.

Note: When the internal fuse is triggered, the probable cause is an internal
malfunction. The device must then be inspected in the factory!
Output
The front potentiometer can be used to adjust the output voltage in the 22.5...29.5
range. A green LED signals that the device is ready for use.
IV Curve
The power supply unit has an IU curve as shown in the figure below. This allows it to
be operated safely, even in shortcircuit spans, without a shutoff mechanism
(no hick-up). The device returns immediately to routine operations after the short
circuit has been cleared or after the surge has passed.
Boost and peak-current capabilities are listed in the Technical specifications
enclosed below in Chapter 3.

WAGO Ethernet Programmable Fieldbus Controller 750-882
Description
For detailed information, see WAGO manufacturer’s manual
for WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 ETHERNET Fieldbus Controller 750-882.

The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 is a modular, fieldbus independent I/O system. It is


comprised of a fieldbus coupler/controller (1) and connected fieldbus modules (2) for
any type of signal. Together, these make up the fieldbus node. The end module (3)
completes the node.

Fig. 198. Fieldbus node

Couplers/controllers are available for different fieldbus systems.

The standard couplers/controllers and extended ECO couplers contain the fieldbus
interface, electronics and a power supply terminal. The fieldbus interface forms the
physical interface to the relevant fieldbus. The electronics process the data of the
bus modules and make it available for the fieldbus communication. The 24 V system
supply and the 24 V field supply are fed in via the integrated power supply terminal.

The coupler/controller communicates via the relevant fieldbus. The programmable


fieldbus controller (PFC) enables the implementation of additional PLC functions.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 177


Workstation Installation

Programming is done with the WAGO-I/O-PRO CAA in accordance


with IEC 61131-3.

Bus modules for diverse digital and analog I/O functions as well as special functions
can be connected to the coupler/controller. The communication between the
coupler/controller and the bus modules is carried out via an internal bus.
The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 has a clear port level with LEDs for status indication,
insertable mini WSB markers and pullout group marker carriers.

The 3 wire technology supplemented by a ground wire connection allows for direct
sensor/actuator wiring.

The programmable Ethernet Medium redundancy fieldbus controller 750-882 (MRC)


combines the functionality of a fieldbus controller for connection to the fieldbus
Ethernet and possesses two independent Ethernet interfaces.

This controller can be used for applications in machine and plant construction as
well as in the process industry and building technology.

The two Ethernet interfaces are independent interfaces (no hub or switch).
Both interfaces support Auto negotiation and Auto-MDI (X).

With the DIP switch the last byte of the IP address, as well as the assignment of the
IP address (DHCP, BootP, firm setting) for each Ethernet interface can be given.

In the Fieldbus Controller, all input signals from the sensors are combined.
After connecting the ETHERNET TCP/IP Fieldbus Controller, the Fieldbus Controller
determines which I/O modules are on the node and creates a local process image
from these. Analog and specialty module data is sent via words and/or bytes;
digital data is grouped bit-by-bit.

The local process image is divided into two data zones containing the data received
and the data to be sent.

The data of the analog modules is mapped first into the process image.
The modules are mapped in the order of their physical position after the controller.

The bits of the digital modules are combined into words and then mapped after the
analog ones in the process image. If the number of digital I/Os is greater than 16
bits, the Fieldbus Controller automatically begins a new word.

According to IEC 61131-3 programming, data processing occurs in the PFC.


The process results can be output directly on sensors/actuators or transmitted via
fieldbus to the higher-order controller.

The fieldbus connection consists of two independent ports (RJ-45).

Both ports support:

– 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX;
– Full / Half duplex;
– Auto negotiation;
– Auto-MDI(X).

Fig. 200. Device supply

Fieldbus Connection
The connection to the fieldbus is made via two RJ-45 plugs (also called "Western
plugs").

Each port supports the transmission speeds 10/100 Mbit as well as the transmission
modes full and half-duplex. The wiring of these plugs corresponds to the
specifications for 100BaseTX, which prescribes a category 5 twisted pair cable as
the connecting cable. Cable types S-UTP (Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair) and
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) with a maximum segment length of 100 m
(approximately 328.08 feet) can be used. The RJ-45 socket is physically lower,
allowing the coupler to fit in an 80 mm high enclosure once connected.

document;
• The QUINT-DIODE/40 redundancy module should be installed in the control
cabinet so that IP54 protection according to EN 60 529 or higher is ensured;
• If dust is present, the device must be installed in suitable housing. The device
must not be subject to mechanical strain or thermal load, which exceed the
limits described in this document;
• To ensure sufficient convection, the following minimum spacing should be
provided between other modules: 5 cm (1.969 in.) for vertical installation and 2
cm (0.787 in.) for horizontal installation;
• During operation only devices, which are suitable for operation in potentially
explosive areas of zone 2, can be connected to the redundancy module;
• The redundancy module does not require maintenance, is closed ex works, and
should not be opened. Repairs can only be carried out by the manufacturer.
Installation
The redundancy module can be snapped onto all DIN rails according to
EN 50 022-35. The module can be mounted horizontally (input terminal blocks
facing upwards or downwards) or vertically on the DIN rail.

Note: To ensure sufficient convection, we recommend the following minimum


spacing be used between modules: 5 cm (1.969 in.) for vertical installation
2 cm (0.787 in.) for horizontal.
• Mounting: place the module with the DIN rail guideway on the top edge of the
DIN rail and then snap it downwards (see figure below).
• Removal: release the snap-on catch using a screwdriver and then detach the

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 189


Workstation Installation

Function
• Input. The maximum permissible current depends on the cross section
of the connected cables and the ambient temperature (see table below).
Only one redundancy module is required to decouple two power supplies that
are connected in parallel (A and B) with nominal currents up to 20 A.
The individual modules are wired together as shown in the figure below. One
redundancy module per power supply is required to decouple power supplies
with nominal currents from 20 A to 40 A.
Both inputs “1” and “2” of the redundancy module must be connected to the
power supply via two cables as shown in the figure below. This is required as
the maximum current carrying capacity of 30 A per input must not be exceeded.
For connecting the redundancy module to the power supply, we recommend
using two cables of the same length and with identical cross sections.
• Output. During operation only devices, which are suitable for operation
in potentially explosive areas of Zone 2, can be connected to the output
of the redundancy module in Zone 2. The plus pole of the device is wired
to the output of the redundancy module as shown in the figure below.

Fig. 212. Redundancy module connection

• Temperature Response. In the horizontal mounting position (input terminal


blocks facing upwards or downwards), the redundancy module can lead
maximum continuous load currents of 2 x 27 A or 1 x 54 A at ambient
temperatures of up to 40°C (104°F). The permissible current carrying capacity
reduces according to the ambient temperature as shown in the figure below,
curve (a) for a cable cross section of 10 mm² (8 AWG).
At an ambient temperature of 60°C (140°F), the module can lead maximum
continuous load currents of 2 x 21 A or 1 x 43 A. In the vertical mounting
position, the redundancy module can lead maximum continuous load currents
of 2 x 27 A or 1 x 54 A at ambient temperatures of up to 30°C (86°F).

The permissible current carrying capacity reduces according to the ambient


temperature as shown in the figure, curve (b) for a cable cross section of 10
mm² (8 AWG). At an ambient temperature of 60°C (140°F), the module can lead
maximum continuous load currents of 2 x 20 A or 1 x 40 A.

Data Collecting Unit DCU6


Part No.: 301000.

Technical specification and dimensional drawings of DCU6 are given in Chapter 3.

For proper connection DCU6 to WS, see connection and block diagrams enclosed
in Annex I.

Connections
Up to eight DCU6 can be connected to the MFD system: 4 main DCU with
connected to them 64 different sensors and 4 backup DCU with connected to them
the same sensors. Thus it is possible to connect 64 different sensors to the MFD.

DCU6 is connected with the Ethernet ports LAN1 and LAN2 of RS6 Computer by
means of a standard category 5 screened cables used in Ethernet 10/100 Mbit
networks. The cable contains 4 twisted pairs within the common screen and has
RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Connection of cable cores with the connector
contacts is identical on both sides.

Navigational sensors to the DCU6 are connected by means of screw connectors.


In case of considerable length of external cables, a screened cable is recommended.
For the connection of the DCU6 with navigational sensors, use double core screened
cable in the insulating shell, category TP5. The screen is connected to earthing on the
sensor side. Where the level of electromagnetic field is insignificant, “twisted pair” type
2
unscreened cable up to 1.5 mm cross section may be used. As the electric current in
the cable does not exceed 20 mA the conductors’ cross section is of no importance.
The maximum length of the cable will depend on the type of interface and is shown
for each specific sensor in the appropriate connection schedule.

drawing “WAGO Modules for Conning. Functional Diagram” enclosed in Annex J of
this document.

General

Fig. 219. WAGO modules set

WAGO I/O Set of Modules used in MFD System for Conning includes the following parts:

• MODBUS Coupler/Controller: the module is intended for communication


of the set of WAGO I/O Modules with the Working Station via RS-232 protocol.
Baud rate value recommended for use in MFD is 9600. Voltage supply –
DC 24 V. Power AC/DC Adaptor might be used as a power supply source.
With its I/O functions the coupler/controller forms the logic operation between
the Fieldbus used and the field area. All control tasks necessary for the perfect
operation of the I/O are performed by the coupler/controller;
• I/O modules: the input and output of the process data is made at the I/O
modules. I/O modules are available for various tasks in accordance with varying
requirements. Available are digital and analog input and output modules,
I/O modules for angle and path measurement as well as communication
modules.
• End module: the module completes the internal data circuit and ensures correct
data flow. One is required for each bus-coupler. The node end module is
indispensable. It is always fitted as the last module, to guarantee the internal
node communication. The end module has no I/O function.
All modules forming the above set must be mounted on the DIN rail to provide
the common grounding contact.

Assembling of the WAGO I/O Set Modules


All system components can be snapped directly on a carrier rail (DIN rail) in
accordance with the European standard EN 50022 (TS 35). All modules have
the same shape to minimize the project commitment. The reliable positioning and
connection of the coupler/controllers and the individual I/O modules is made using
a tongue and groove system. Due to the automatic locking the individual
components are securely seated on the rail after installing.
The coupler/controller must be fixed on the carrier rail with the lateral orange-
coloured locking disk. To fix the coupler/controller, apply pressure on the upper
groove of the locking disk using a screwdriver.
To remove the coupler/controllers, release the locking disk by pressing on the
bottom groove. It is also possible to release an individual I/O module from the unit by
pulling an unlocking lug.
The following sequence of modules must be observed in the course of assembling:
• MODBUS Module;
• Digital/Analog Input Modules;
• Relay Output Modules;
• End Module.

Cabling of the WAGO I/O Modules


The following requirements must be taken into consideration prior to cabling
of the WAGO I/O Modules within the MFD system:

• Relay Output Modules: each pair of active contacts of the modules shall be
connected to the certain indication unit (Alarm Panel optical indicators, etc.);
• Input Modules: each pair of active contacts on the modules shall be used for
connection with different type of sensors (digital and analog);
• MODBUS: 24 V DC input contacts are marked on the module accordingly.
The other contacts of the module are used for the power distribution only.

RS6B Computer Video Output to VDR

RS6B COMPUTER VIDEO OUTPUT TO VDR


The second video output (graphics controller onboard Intel HD) allows the radar
picture image to be sent to VDR.

The RS6B video output VGA must be connected to radar display via standard VGA
cable.

The RS6B video output DVI-I can be connected to Frame grabber board
(VDR component) via standard VGA cable using DVI-I/VGA adapter.

NEW STANDARD VDR OUTPUT

General
To ensure the MFD compatibility with a new standard of the VDR which has a
network interface, a module outputting data to the VDR can operate on each
workstation.

With appropriate settings in the System Configuration utility (see below Chapter 2,
section MFD Configuration, paragraph MFD Settings, item 24), the following data
is output to the network:

• For the radar and additional stations:


– Screenshots – once every 15 seconds.
• For the ECDIS:
– Screenshots – once every 15 seconds;
– Chart list (source info) – once every 10 minutes or within 2 seconds of the
displayed charts set change.
Information is not sent unless the relevant application is in the active mode.

The protocol for sending binary files with acknowledgements is used for sending
screenshots. A simplified protocol without acknowledgements is used for the chart
list (source info).

When data is output to the VDR, the workstation name is specified for the source
position, and the station’s main task set during the configuring – for the source
identifier.
The sending of data to the VDR should be set for all the ECDIS stations on the
bridge.

The VDR output functionality complies with the following standards:

• IEC 61162-450 ed. 1;


• IEC 61174;
• IEC 61996 ed. 2 CDV.

Technical Description
General
Transas Gateway is used as a bridge between Transas MFD workstations and ships
network/Internet. The purpose of Transas Gateway is to protect and secure the
navigational network.

Transas Gateway has a state of the art firewall provided by the same company that
secures the Fortune 100. The company name is Checkpoint and is a known brand
for securing networks.
Transas Gateway is based upon Checkpoint UTM Edge Industrial.

The Gateway provides multilayer inspection firewall and providing network/transport


layer access control based on addresses, ports and protocols.

It has built in antivirus software that monitors and control the communication
between internal network and external network (Internet).

VPN tunnels are initiated between bridge network and shore network based upon
certificate towered the central VPN cluster. The VPN cluster authenticates the VPN
gateway based on the ship carriers in addition to Firewall. All traffic from the
navigational network to shore is within Transas VPN. On shore side there is an
additional firewall that verify that all Vessels VPN connections only have access to
approved servers as listed below.

Firewall Rules
The firewall is strictly limited to allow the following connections:

• Allow “Transas Chart Server 1” with destination address 82.140.75.132


on port 21;
• Allow “Transas Chart Server 2” with destination address 82.140.75.17
on port 9000;
• Allow “FMO-Wave” with destination address 81.3.124.97 on port 20080;
• Allow “Remote Service” traffic to allow remote access from inside Transas office
to MFD workstations;
• All other type of connections is blocked, with settings to deny any source,
destination address and port.
Remote Service
The customer support group of Transas is the only people who can access any
Remote functionality.

The individuals are trained before they can gain access to any remote software.

Every user of remote software has the own credentials and the software can only
run within the Transas domain.

Chapter 1. Hardware Installation 205


Transas Gateway Installation

As an option it is possible to configure the system so that a popup window will be


displayed on each MFD workstations asking if the remote connection should be
allowed or rejected.

The users of RDM are under no circumstances allowed to connect to any vessel
without captain’s approval; this can be achieved from a telephone call from vessel or
by email.

DONGLE-LESS PROTECTION

General
In the work with dongle-less protection, the role of a hardware dongle is played by a
special set of binary data stored in the registry (activation code). All the information
which, in the ordinary work scenario, is stored in a physical dongle is contained in
the activation code.

The activation code is associated with unique characteristics of a particular user


computer. The activation code cannot be used on other computers.

Each license sets a restriction on the number of computers which the product can be
installed on. In line with this restriction, the user will not be able to activate the
product more than the fixed number of times. For a network, product activation on
each computer is required.

With the Internet connection available, after the system installation the user should
run a dedicated application, which collects information on the computers and sends
it to Transas activation service, which sends back an activation code to enable the
license.

If there is no Internet connection, the user e-mails information to


activate@transas.com and receives the activation code in much the same way.

Chapter 2. System Settings 239


Dongle-less Protection

ATTENTION!
With the use of the dongle-less protection, it is necessary to remember that if the
computer configuration is changed (e.g., faulty parts replaced, software re-installed,
etc.) the available activation code cannot be used any more. It is necessary to notify
Transas (via the distributor) about the replacement and repeat the procedure to
receive a new activation code.

Using License Activation Utility


Install the product as described above in section MFD Software Installation.

Run the License Activation utility by selecting the appropriate item


in the START menu (START\PROGRAMS\MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPLAY\LICENSE ACTIVATION UTILITY).

If there is no Internet connection, copy information (as shown in the figure below)
and e-mail it to activate@transas.com.

Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

NAVI-CONNING 5000 ADJUSTMENT

General Description of Navi-Conning 5000


General
The NC5000 is the first product to have been made on the Uninav platform.
It was initially presented for commercial purposes last year within the T-Bridge
product for the Silver Wind mega yacht. This was a prototype whose setup was
performed manually by configuring xml files and writing scripts.
Starting with MNS34, the NC5000 will be used for commercial purposes as part of
the MFD product (ECDIS Premium). It will be possible to use both the NC4000 and
the NC5000 at the same time. As a standalone commercial product, the NC5000 will
have configuring tools and be integrated with the MFD.

What is the reason for having two conning programs (4000 and 5000) in the
MNS34? Since none of the service engineers now has experience of prompt
conning deployment and setup, and also considering that the layouts in the 4000’s
are incompatible with layouts of the 5000’s, we can work out the following
recommendation: any complexly modified conning should best be left on the 4000th
platform (there are many sophisticated projects).
In fact, whenever the conning layout is critical, it is now possible to keep the 4000th.
It is highly desirable that in the cases of failure to promptly set up the NC5000, data
from the layouts (conning.dat) should reach the developers to provide
a collection of layouts from the 4000’s to have something to analyze in order to
create an automatic converter from 4000 to 5000 series, and for us to know what
was easily done by using the 4000 facilities, and presents difficulties when
implemented by using facilities of the 5000.
The NC5000 is currently attaining the level of the NC4000, but it is reasonable to
expect that there may be things which we are used to doing easily, and which can
be done in the NC5000, with some difficulties however.

In the NC4000, bitmaps (raster) and “emf” (vector) were the main objects for the
information display. In the NC5000, we switched to more advanced and broadly
supported “swg” format. This was done because the NC5000 is based on the QT,
a new cross-platform technology (framework) for creating user interfaces.
This allowed us to abandon the self-written user items (indicators in the conning) in
favour of the already written and debugged items. The QT library supports the “swg”.

Layout Configuring. Conning Architecture


There are some differences in the editing procedure between the NC4000 and
NC5000 versions. In both applications, on the left there is a “tree” of items which we
can see on the screen. The difference consists in that in the NC4000 it is always
necessary to press on Edit button to modify or add items, and to press on the Back
button to return. Whereas in the NC5000, there is a pass-through tree,
and the editing buttons are always at the top (i.e., any item can be edited at any
time). For the understanding of which item is currently being handled, you can
enable the Show highlighter option: it highlights in green the boundary and internal
structure of the item you are editing.
In the NC5000, there is a fully operative Undo/Redo tool.

Since it is the end-to-end editing which is underway, there is the Locate object tool
which allows prompt identification of the item which is at the top.
If this tool is used for clicking the pod information indicator, in the “GUI Designer”,
we will see that the item at the top is the “SVGDrawer”.

Chapter 2. System Settings 325


Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

Objects are arranged hierarchically. When the graphic interface tree is described,
the terms parent, child, sibling are used. In the case of the default screen view, the
“Ship”, “Messages” and “Config” screen views are siblings, i.e., objects on the same
nesting level. There is always one parent, and there may be thousands of the rest.

1. The base item is “Application”, the root of all the items.

2. It is followed by the only child item – “Simple Pager” which determines the set of
applications (“Conning Screen”, “Plotter Screen”). It permits switching among its
siblings but provides no graphic component. To switch applications, it is
necessary to find the “Simple Pager” in the special script buttons, and use it for
switching pages. In the case in question (NC5000), the “Simple Pager” item has
only one sibling: the “Conning Screen” which occupies the entire screen.

3. The “Tab Pager” item determines that all its siblings are arranged in the form of
tabs. This is done by analogy to what was in the NC4000. For the “Tab Pager”
siblings, the sequence is essential (z-order, i.e., the order of layers – what is on
top of what). E.g., in the case of the wind indicator, the picture is at the bottom,
the scale lying on top of it. The “Tab Pager” arranges tabs in the z-order. The
“Bring to Front”, “Bring Forward”, “Send Backward” and “Send to Back” buttons
are used for the control of the layers arrangement order.

4. The “Grid Layouter” forms space to be filled in with the required items.

Each object including the “Grid Layouter” has a set of properties. The list of
properties is determined by the QT technology, and we do not add anything.
This permits us to create interactive and complex layouts.
The title parameter from the “Grid Layouter” determines the tab name.
If the Show Objects by ID parameter is disabled, it is possible to understand what the
type of the selected object is. If the item is shown in italics, it means it is assigned
with an ID. The title is what is shown to the user. The ID is an internal attribute by
which the item is accessible from the scripts (there are rules that the ID is formed by
the Latin letters, that a digit cannot be placed at the beginning, etc.).
E.g., the “Wind Speed” is an ID because it is used for access from the scripts.
The most significant difference between the NC4000 and the NC5000 now is the
arrangement of items on the screen view. In the NC4000, the container items
(panels) were uniformly divided into nominal 100*100 (horizontally, vertically) zones.
With a change of the container item size, zones change proportionally.
Within the framework of a container item (panel), position and size were set for an
item. In the NC5000, the container items are represented by the layouters
(this is control that has no visual presentation but has dimensions and is capable of
organizing siblings within itself).

The Layouters can be of several types (it is necessary to read the QT technology
documentation):

1. “Tab Pager” is a layouter for the formation of tabs. The item placed in a pager
can occupy its entire internal space.
2. “List Pager” is a dropdown list.

3. “Stacker” stacks its siblings in turn one after another. An example can be
provided by the ECDIS side panel or the application switcher control.

4. “Grid Layouter” splits space into a grid and permits items to be arranged in
proportion to this grid. There is a difference from the NC4000: the grid and the
number of its divisions depend on the size of items in them. I.e., reduction of
size of some items results in the automatic growth of other items dimensions.
Which means, that in the real time mode various effects can be obtained, items
having actually no size. For them, there is a size obtained from the combined
operation of all the layouter from the top to the bottom.

326 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

All these things are calculated for a specific resolution, and each item acquires
its own size accordingly. Each item’s properties include the maximum and
minimum size parameters for an automatically formed item not to be too small or
too large. E.g., for buttons the minimum size now is 20 pixels.
Advantages of such approach are that a correctly written layout can sustain
stretching, scaling to suit various resolutions or aspects.
But from the experience of preparing screen views for the T-Bridge it is clear
that this is expensive and not really necessary for us, since we deal with the
monitor resolutions known in advance, etc.

5. Fixed “Grid Layouter” is a counterpart of the panel which was available in the
NC4000 for creating new customized screen views – this is the main way of
drawing and modifying Conning.

6. “Scroller” is a container item which permits accommodating in itself more objects


than its visual size (e.g., the “Config” panel in the default screen view).

To copy or move use the Copy\Paste tools for which the Undo\Redo is available.
It is impossible to select several items for moving/copying at a time.
Instead, you can copy the root item which will drag its siblings.

By default, the NC5000 provides an incorrect display of gradients in the 16 bit


palette. It is, therefore, advisable to use the 32 bit palette, or draw a “bitmap” and
insert it in the “swg” item, or discard the gradient.

Active Conning
The NC5000 to a greater extent than the NC4000, supports scripting. For scripts it
uses the all-inclusive java script interpreter, almost as powerful and complying with
the standards as that in browsers. The main advantage is that this is a full featured
programming language. In the NC4000, scripts could be used, too, but this was a
self-written language with a large number of limitations (i.e., as a rule, this was one
mathematical operation). Scripts in the NC5000 are integrated in the framework, and
this permits performing a large number of operations.

Scripting requires qualification and skills, but not as much as in the programming.
Where the tasks are simple (e.g., a value should be divided by 10), scripts will look
as simple as in the NC4000. If the 5000 default layout is studied, there will be many
examples of scripts (e.g., how to show a value in red if the data is invalid, how to
replace a value with asterisks if it is not supplied). If the default script is relied upon,
the task consists in the substitution of required parameters.

More complicated scripts permit, e.g., a press on the button connected to the WAGO
to switch pages in the Conning. The Virtual Keyboard functionality is based on this
principle. A scripted item has some advantages: it needs no programmer
involvement, it can be adapted in suit to suit the changing requirements.

Very complicated and feature-packed scripts may slow down the system
(e.g., serious animation or large real-time computation), since the script is compiled
and checked for errors on the run. But for the up-to-date computers the margin is
very large.

Various tasks should be accomplished by different people:

1. Simple things are done on the fixed “Grid Layouter” in much the same way as in
the NC4000. These scripts are single-string templates of mathematical
expressions. They are included in part in the default layout and are described in
the documentation (including the NC4000 among others).

2. Active Conning, a special GUI which we can make without programmers by


using the Nav. Sales Support resources.

Chapter 2. System Settings 327


Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

3. Creating screen views for particular projects – experts should be involved.

4. Complex graphics, uncharacteristic behaviour, large computations –


programmers should be involved.

I.e., the NC5000 pushed away limit item 4, accordingly, the task accomplishment
may prove to be prompter and cheaper.

Examples of Active Conning: Virtual Keyboard, Pointing Device, T-Bridge


Wheelhouse Control, Automation.
Switching applications: a press on the button sends a command to the TeamItalia
PLC, it leafs through its pages and produces a new one. Fulfilment of a script can be
made dependent not only on the button stroke, but also on the change of data (e.g.,
on a timer). In the autopilot, when a button is pressed and held, the checkbox is
checked, when the button is released, the checkbox is unchecked. The script traces
the availability of a check and then automatically adds or subtracts a value.
Application switching buttons in the fast access panel also contain scripts with a
record of the script execute action and of the action it performs.

The Virtual Keyboard is fully compiled of the scripts and made without programmers.
For the automation we are able:

1. In the way of external inputs to communicate via the Modbus protocol. i.e., this
is output of values to the WAGO, to the Team Italia PLC, to the flow meters and
to any automatics supporting the Modbus.

2. To output NMEA sentences, arbitrarily formed it should be noted (i.e., with


the aid of a script any NMEA string can be compiled) to any of the channels.
And this is exactly how the remote control, control of the autopilot on
the T-Bridge works (a link to the simulator – the simulator is listening to the
NMEA commands).

3. The remote control is an MFD 4000 sensor (NMEA protocol), the Virtual Touch
Keyboard simply uses this remote control for the control. This allows doing
everything the ES6 keyboard does, but more flexibly (e.g., to select at once
exactly the thing you need rather than leaf through sequentially NUP, CUP and
HUP). E.g., it is possible to make a MOB button from the Master’s cabin (either
a hardware item, or with the aid of our Virtual Keyboard) whereby a NMEA
message is sent whenever the button is pressed. For the integrator companies
(e.g., Radio New Zealand DMP) that produce their own panels, this permits the
use of the ES6 to be omitted. From their work experience: an ES6 was taken, a
cover was removed and contacts were closed. Coming together with the remote
control sensor is a remote keyboard server which is part of the NC5000
installation.
If it is added to the startup menu of some station, it will be possible to press
buttons and move the mouse on this station controlling the MFD via the network.
I.e., this is an imitation of an ordinary keyboard which requires no PS\2 or USB
connection. Our Virtual Keyboard gets connected to this server and outputs key
stroke commands. This service is used for imitating button presses, and it is
possible to initiate hot keys among other things. E.g., it will be possible to imitate
pressing on several buttons by pushing one button (to enter the password by
pushing one button).

4. Touch panel is a virtual panel which, as you are passing a finger, is constantly
calling a script with the current finder coordinates.

Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

Data Reception
Today, for all the sources including the NMEA custom, data can be set up in the
NC5000 with similar names.

To view the availability of parameters in the data access database you can use the
C:\Transas\IBS\win32\data access client.exe application.

The indicator can be selected by using the Locate object tool.


Let us consider STW as an example. This is a widget text. It can be used for both,
display of a static text, e.g., captions (the HDG test is entered in the text properties),
and the processing and output of received values (the input script property is used for
this purpose). E.g., available for a button is an input script which behaves as an item
with a change of the system internal parameters, and an output script which as an
item responds to the user actions.
An ordinary script for the parameter output consists of two parts:
widget.alarmed =
${nav_kernel/MfdDataAccessBridge/Stw.ViewData} > 0; – a widget has
an alarmed (True\False) property which changes colour when there is alarmed
indication. Red colour in this case, if ViewData is not zero. This can be read from the
first line.
if (${nav_kernel/MfdDataAccessBridge/Stw.ViewData} != 2) {
– if ViewData is not 2, which means that the data is available, we return a specially
formatted parameter value (including dimensions and units of measurement).
formatValue("speed.ship",${nav_kernel/MfdDataAccessBridge/Stw.
Stw}, true);

} else { – in all the other cases (if we have 2) asterisks are output:

"***.*";

By analogy with the NC4000, there is view data which is the parameter status and
value data which is the parameter value per se. 0-data normal, 1-data invalid,
2-no data\no input.

It is recommended that you should copy/paste this script replacing the parameter as
required.
The data access browser is used for this purpose. The nav_kernel\mfd data
access bridge is selected from it (the rest of the tree parts are used for the
standalone Uninav plotter, i.e., they are not suitable for Conning 5000 which is part
of the MFD). This tab contains all the data supplied by the MFD4000 to 5000.
All this data will be available if only NC5000 is installed, even without the ECDIS, but
not from the MNS34. STW.STW and STW.ViewData is then selected.
The parameter value is shown on the run in a window on the right.

Available in the script editing window are the undo\redo, copy\paste functions. For
testing there is a test button which displays the script operation result in a window.
A value is described in the ${nav_kernel/MfdDataAccessBridge/Stw.Stw}
format. Which means that in replacing the parameter it should all the selected.

When the items are copied, they are saved together with a script. If, however, an
item is added from a template, the input script should be added for it manually.

Functions are intended for the parameter formatting (course, speed, coordinates,
etc.).

Chapter 2. System Settings 329


Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

(${nav_kernel/MfdDataAccessBridge/Stw.Stw}) .toFixed(2) permits


rounding off.

If, e.g., there is no need to show the alarmed status for the POD information\Power,
script lines for formatting are unnecessary, it is sufficient to specify the parameter
value. This indicator consists of two objects: a vertical scale (the display is formed
by the properties: graduation marks big - major tick counter) and a bar gauge. The
value can be varied from -180 to 180. The gradient for the infill is adjusted by
parameters from the base positive colour to positive colour. This permits work with
presentations without involving the swg drawer item.

Grid_row, grid_col – this is where the item starts from (i.e. these are the X, Y
coordinates).

Grid_rowspan, Grid_colspan – how many cells it occupies (these are the item
dimensions).

In the gridlayout the cell size is not fixed, it depends on the size of items it
accommodates.

In the swg drawer object, a swg picture can be selected with the aid of the “source”
property. To prepare pictures in the swg format it is possible to use the Inkscape
program. Bitmaps can be inserted inside the swg file. By using this indicator
properties, you can rotate the picture, shift it, change its size and aspect. Many
visual effects were based on these properties on the Silver Wind yacht.

To add a new panel, the tab pager should be selected, and the fixed grid layouter be
added to it.

The template accommodates large blocks of items. There are currently no scripts in
them. Adding is made from the template browser by using the “create item with
selected template” button. The scripts in the templates are currently not exactly
correct, they are from the standalone Uninav. This is why for the depth indicator the
${nav_kernel/PrimaryData/Depth} should be replaced with the Depth.Depth from the
data access. The safety contour should be replaced with the safety depth value. The
time span forms the display history. Depending on the depth supplied, the scale
numerical indication changes automatically within the history size range.
The nc5000.ini (next to the nc5000.exe) shows what is taken from where.

A modified layout can be saved to an individual folder by using the “save as…”
button. During the saving, a set of files is saved rather than a single nc5000.xml
file (although in fact this is one large file with references to other files).
The default configuration is saved by default to the
C:\Transas\IBS\nc5000\active_cfg\uninav folder.
The plotter_gui.xml includes a description of the GUI designer, of the root item.
The Plotter_kernel.xml includes a description of available sensors. I.e., for the
configuration import\export it is necessary to save several files or to take the whole
ConningScreen item, copy it to any text editor and save as a txt file. Unlike the Data
tool, this method does not collect pictures which there are references to. If a backup
is required, the whole of the “active_cfg” folder can be taken.

The configuration saving support via the Data Tool utility will be provided in the
immediate future.

Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

Configuration Replacement Example


Configuration for the “whc” and “remote_kbd” in the application (for the NC5000
within the MFD).

1. The “active_cfg” folder should be replaced for the required configuration.

2. For the “whc” configuration, “svg” folders should be placed in the C:/root.

3. For the “remote_kbd”, the “keyboard” and “Remote_Keyboard” folders should be


placed in the D:/disk root.

Properties
Properties are defined by the QT library. There is a set of properties common for all
the items, and there are individual properties for each item. For the detailed
description see the open access QT documentation.

Some essential properties:


1. Object name – ID. This name can be referred to from the scripts.

2. Horizontal / vertical policy -s used for flexible layouters (not for the fixed grid
layouter).

3. Min/max width/height - set the min/max absolute size limits for flexible layouters.
4. Frame - adds a border around items.

5. Stylesheet - permits flexible adjustment of the item outward appearance with the
aid of scripts. The behaviour is of cascade type. Which means that if the
stylesheet is specified for a parent, the same settings will be automatically
applied to the siblings.

6. Input script - is executed for the change of external parameters.


7. Output script – external action.

8. Disable script for hidden - permits the script not to be executed when an item is
not on the screen.

9. Margin, spacing – for item external design.

10. Text – default values setting field for the display in a text indicator. If there is a
script, this default value is redefined by the value received from the script.

11. A set of items for the text formatting.

12. Grid - is the item situation (numbering starts with zero).

13. Hidden – not to display an item.

14. SVG Drawer: source – path to the picture.

15. A set of items for the control of the swg picture within the indicator.

16. Colour mapping – to correct colour when palettes are switched.

The main visualization types can be taken from the default screen view:

1. From the nav. data (alarmed, starts, white).

2. From the azipod – how to turn.

3. Pod – how to arrange the scales, how to set the beginning/end.

Chapter 2. System Settings 331


Navi-Conning 5000 Adjustment

4. Wind – an assembled item, how the items operate: substrate, scale with digits
and a wind point. The true\relative switch is made with the aid of a simple pager,
and these are in fact two layouts in the same place; as the true\relative button is
pressed, the script merely swaps indicators (primitive animation capabilities).

5. Depth – an assembled item.

Practice
1. Install conning 5000 and some components from the MFD;

2. Adjust some MFD sensors for virt ports;

3. Create a new page in the conning and put several indicators on it:

• copy from the existing pages;


• from the templates;
• create anew from scratch;
4. Adjust indicators for parameters from the data access database;

5. Create some new NMEA custom messages (in accordance with the comtrace)
and adjust indicators for such parameters.

ATTENTION!
Parameters for the setup of these indicators will not be available in the program
database unless they were previously created in the System Configuration utility.
If the data is supplied via the WAGO interface, the parameter will have
the WAGO_ADC_parameter_name for a name (see Annex A, Adjustment of MFD
Operation with WAGO Modules section). If the data is supplied via the NMEA
Custom, the parameter will be named NMEA_CUSTOM_parameter_name
(see Annex A, Adjustment of MFD Operation with NMEA Custom section).
To avoid the incorrect operation of the NC5000 program, it is not advisable to
connect to the indicators parameters whose names are different from those listed
above.

ATTENTION!
The Navi-Conning 5000 program setup is made separately for each WS, which it is
installed in. For the correct setup it is necessary that the ECDIS or RADAR tasks be
run on this WS. In the ECDIS task, create a route and load it for monitoring
(see MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (V.3.00.340). ECDIS USER MANUAL,

Radar Adjustment

Distance and Bearing Offset


Introduction
Adjustment of the RIB in azimuth, i.e. an offset to the fixed azimuth errors of the
radar antenna. The magnitude of the offset is determined as the difference between
the bearing value of a clearly observed and uniquely identified stationary radar
object measured on the chart or by using other measurement method, and a mean
value of several bearing measurements made for the same object by using the RIB.
The offset corresponds to the value of an angle, which the picture should be turned
to in the clockwise direction for it to match the actual situation. The offset is entered
with an accuracy of up to one tenth of a degree.

Adjustment of the RIB in range, i.e. an offset to the delays in the radar and RIB
circuits. The magnitude of the offset is determined by comparing the results of range
measurements made for clearly observed and uniquely identified stationary radar
objects by using the RIB radar picture, and measurements made on the chart or
by using other methods. The offset is entered with an accuracy of up to 1 m.

Distance and Bearing Offset Setting


Run RADAR task by selecting the appropriate item in the START menu
(START\PROGRAMS\MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISPLAY\NAVI-RADAR):

• Navis AP4000 – accuracy fully controlled by the ECDIS on legs and turns.
On ECDIS Track control algorithm settings are stored in nm.cfg, tcs.cfg,
tcsfull.cfg and tcshalf.cfg files.
To adjust control algorithms for a particular ship, use the following procedure:
1. Adjust “Track control” section in the System Configuration utility as per settings
specified for the given ship type.
2. Open tcs.cfg, tcsfull.cfg and tcshalf.cfg files is stored in
C:\Transas\IBS\win32 directory.

3. Change the settings as required by using the fine adjustment procedure


described below, and save the files.

Fine Adjustment
The fine adjustment procedure is intended for improving accuracy of steering
the ship along the route and should be made, as required, by a system engineer
only, and checked in the process of sea trials. It is necessary to take into account
the fact that the TCS system adjustment is maid for “ship+autopilot” combination
on the whole, so considerable changes in the autopilot settings may require
the re-adjustment of the control system parameters as well.
Fine adjustment consists primarily in the selection of correct temporal ship
characteristics. Such characteristics are set separately for a loaded
(tcsfull.cfg file), half loaded (tcshalf.cfg) and empty (tcs.cfg) ship
condition. tcsNNNN.cfg files are expected to be edited with the aid of NotePad
editor included in Windows OS or TCStune.exe utility located in the same path as
tcs.cfg files.

• Only F-Distance setting influent on Track Mode accuracy.
F-Distance is set in the System Configuration utility on page “Ship Settings” of
panel “INS” (see above section MFD Configuration, paragraph MFD Settings,
item 3). All the rest accuracy steering settings performed on the autopilot side.
Note: When moving on a straight leg, the accuracy may be degraded, if the
parameter Rudder limit on straight leg is set significantly less than the
parameter Max Rudder angle (see above section MFD Configuration,
paragraph MFD Settings, item 11).

EMRI SEM200
F-Distance and ROTDriftKoeff parameters influent on starting of the turn.
F-Distance is set in the System Configuration utility on page “Ship Settings” of panel
“INS” (see above section MFD Configuration, paragraph MFD Settings, item 3).
All the rest accuracy steering settings performed on the autopilot side.
ROTDriftKoeff set the initial heading change angle, increase results in greater
rudder activity.

Typical Parameters:
Ship Type Fast Ferry Container Ship Tanker
Parameter (value) 0.25* 0.15* 0.15*

Note: *The value of RotDriftKoef depends on F-Distance value and it can be


reduced or increased during sea trails.

Navis AP4000
All accuracy steering settings performed on the ECDIS side.

Passing-of-Turn Settings
1. PivotX. Average shift of the ship’s pivot point forward relative to the ship’s
geometric centre, in metres. If set incorrectly, the ship may tend to go inside
(to correct this, it is necessary to increase PivotX) or outside (reduce the PivotX)
relative to the set turn trajectory. PivotY is normally “0”.

2. TurnRelaxROTChange. Characteristic time of the ship ROT change in


milliseconds. The larger TurnRelaxROTChange corresponds to smaller ship
manoeuvrability relative to the present configuration, and the other way round.
Typical Parameters:
Ship Type Fast Ferry Container Ship Tanker
Parameter in milliseconds 5000 4000 8000

3. ROTDriftKoeff Characteristic of the ship ROT change. The approximate value


can be calculated as a constant ship drift angle during the turn/ROT grad/min.
If set incorrectly, the ship always goes inside (to correct this, it is necessary to
increase value) or outside (reduce the value) relative to the set turn trajectory.
Typical Parameters:
Ship Type Fast Ferry Container Ship Tanker
Parameter (value) 0.26 0.14 0.115

Note: In the case of excessive value reduction which is not commensurate with
the actual manoeuvring characteristics, there may be the ship track oscillation.

Motion-Along-Straight-Line Settings
1. TimeOnLeg – characteristic time of the ship’s HTS change in milliseconds.
The larger TimeOnLeg corresponds to smaller ship manoeuvrability relative
to the ready configuration, and the other way round.

Typical Parameters:
Ship Type Fast Ferry Container Ship Tanker
Parameter in milliseconds 12 000 50 000 30 000

2. XTEs; XTE_Ks – values which determine width of ranges and their corresponding
course correction in the direction which will bring back to the route leg. The change
of values is required in the case of incorrect ship behaviour as it moves along the
straight line under constant environmental conditions (motion along a pronounced
sinusoid or motion at a large distance off the route leg). If the ship moves along
a sinusoid around the route leg, the course correction coefficient should be
decreased within the observed amplitude. If the ship’s mean position is off the route
leg, the koefficient is required to be increased, or a new band should be set. In any
case, it is advisable to leave a band with zero coefficient (deadband). The table
provides initial range value and their corresponding correction coefficients.
XTEs (Width of Range, NM) XTE_Ks (Course correction, deg) Value (example)
0.000 0.0 Deadband

Plausibility Check Adjustments


1. MaxHDGJump – threshold value of course change in degrees. As the course
changes by a value larger than the setting within the period of one second,
the Track Control mode will be stopped. On ships with a high rate of turn (Fast
Ferry), it is necessary to set the appropriate value in order to avoid unfounded stops.

Typical Parameters:

Ship Type Fast Ferry Container Ship Tanker


Parameter in degrees ~ 15–20 ~ 15–20 ~ 10–15

2. MaxLogJump – threshold value of speed change in knots. As the speed changes by


a value larger than the setting within the period of one second, the Track Control
mode will be stopped. On ships with high acceleration/stopping value(Fast Ferry),
it is necessary to set the appropriate value in order to avoid unfounded stops.

Typical Parameters:

BAM CONFIGURATION

General
Description of Central Alert Management (CAM) Functionality
For the data flow diagram, see “BAM/BNWAS. Data Flow Diagram” enclosed in
Annex K.

The purpose of the Bridge Alert Management (BAM) is to enhance the handling,
distribution and presentation of alerts. The BAM harmonizes the priority,
classification, handling, distribution and presentation of alerts, to enable the bridge
team to devote full attention to the safe operation of the ship and to immediately
identify any alert situation requiring action to maintain the safe operation of the ship.

Transas BAM features two BAM/BNWAS Servers (Master and Backup) and several
BAM Viewers connected to the BAM Servers by using a proprietary protocol.

The BAM/BNWAS Server collects alerts from all the external devices (Alert Sources)
and serves for the alert classification and management. The BAM Server
communicates with the external devices via the following interfaces:

• Alarm dry contact signals (implemented on the basis of the WAGO modules);
• Alarm/ack dry contact signals (implemented on the basis of the WAGO
modules);
• ALR, ACK, EVE, ACN, ALC, ALF, HBT sentences (implemented on the basis of
DCU6 which communicates with the BAM Server by using the proprietary
protocol, and with external devices - via RS 422 IEC 61162);
• ACN, ALC, ALF, HBT, EVE sentences (implemented on the basis of
the IEC 61162-450 network protocol, in according with IEC 61162-1 standard);
• ACN, ALC, ALF, HBT, EVE sentences (implemented on the basis of the
proprietary format for communication with the Transas MFD).
The aforementioned protocols serve as the basis for the BAM Server communication
with external BNWAS and VDR by any manufacturers (implemented on the basis of
the WAGO modules).

The BAM and BNWAS internal acoustic and light alerts are implemented on the
basis of the Transas Buzzer and Transas Reset Button connected via the WAGO
modules.

Thus set of the BAM/BNWAS Servers, BAM Viewers and interface converters (DCU,
WAGO) is Central Alert Management (CAM).

For CAM-HMI, BAM Viewers installed on different bridge WS’s are used.

The BAM Viewer which serves for presenting alerts as individual alerts or as
aggregated alerts, supports the bridge team in the immediate identification of any
abnormal situation, of the source and reason for the abnormal situation and supports
the bridge team in its decisions for the necessary actions to be taken.

The BAM Viewer displays information on the current list of alerts, alert history,
BNWAS status information, as well as the BNWAS user setup.

The BAM Servers setup is performed from the BAM/BNWAS Config application.

Description of Redundancy Concept


See “BAM/BNWAS. Transas Integrated Navigation System. Block Diagram;”
enclosed in Annex K.

Chapter 2. System Settings 441


BAM Configuration

The Redundancy Concept is based on the use of two independent networks, two
BAM/BNWAS Servers, several BAM Viewers and interface converters
(DCU, WAGO).

The BAM/BNWAS Servers are interconnected via the proprietary protocol, whereas
the backup BAM/BNWAS Server is constantly synchronized with the main
BAM/BNWAS Server.

In the case of the Master BAM/BNWAS Server failure, all the BAM Viewers and
interface converters switch automatically to the Backup BAM/BNWAS Server.

Should any of the networks fail, the BAM/BNWAS Servers, all the BAM Viewers and
interface converters use the other network for interaction.

Network Devices of IEC 61162-450 Standard


Note: System configuration cannot be changed during BAM operation!
Ethernet Interfaces and Standards

• Network Protocol:
– 100BASE-TX: standard IEEE 802.3u;
– 1000BASE-T: standard IEEE 802.3ab;
– IPv4 (RFC791).
• Maximum Data Rate:

Environmental specifications
See also document IEEE STANDARD FOR ETHERNET (second printing: 28 June
2013), section Five, Annex 67A (informative) Environmental characteristics
for Ethernet subscriber access networks.

• General safety:
All equipment meeting this standard shall conform to IEC 60950-1.

• Network safety:
This subclause sets forth a number of recommendations and guidelines related
to safety concerns; the list is neither complete nor does it address all possible
safety issues. The designer is urged to consult the relevant local, national, and
international safety regulations to ensure compliance with the appropriate
requirements.

LAN cable systems described in this subclause are subject to at least four direct
electrical safety hazards during their installation and use. These hazards are as
follows:

a) Direct contact between LAN components and power, lighting, or


communications circuits.

b) Static charge buildup on LAN cables and components.

c) High-energy transients coupled onto the LAN cable system.

d) Voltage potential differences between safety grounds to which various LAN


components are connected.

442 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


BAM Configuration

Such electrical safety hazards must be avoided or appropriately protected


against for proper network installation and performance. In addition to provisions
for proper handling of these conditions in an operational system, special
measures must be taken to ensure that the intended safety features are not
negated during installation of a new network or during modification or
maintenance of an existing network.

Isolation requirements are defined in 14.3.1.1 of document IEEE STANDARD


FOR ETHERNET, section 1.

 Installation:
Sound installation practice, as defined by applicable local codes and
regulations, shall be followed in every instance in which such practice is
applicable.
 Grounding:
Any safety grounding path for the MAU shall be provided through the circuit
PG of the AUI connection.

WARNING!
It is assumed that the equipment to which the MAU is attached is properly earthed,
and not left floating nor serviced by a “doubly insulated ac power distribution
system.” The use of floating or insulated equipment and the consequent implications
for safety are beyond the scope of this standard.

 Installation and maintenance guidelines:


During installation and maintenance of the cable plant, care shall be taken
to ensure that uninsulated network cable conductors do not make electrical
contact with unintended conductors or ground.
 Telephony voltages:
The use of building wiring brings with it the possibility of wiring errors that
may connect telephony voltages to 10BASE-T equipment. Other than voice
signals (which are low voltage), the primary voltages that may be
encountered are the “battery” and ringing voltages. Although there is no
universal standard, the following maximums generally apply.
Battery voltage to a telephone line is generally 56 VDC applied to the line
through a balanced 400 Ω source impedance.
Ringing voltage is a composite signal consisting of an ac component and a
dc component. The ac component is up to 175 V peak at 20 Hz to 60 Hz
with a 100 Ω source resistance. The dc component is 56 VDC with a 300 Ω
to 600 Ω source resistance. Large reactive transients can occur at the start
and end of each ring interval.
Although 10BASE-T equipment is not required to survive such wiring
hazards without damage, application of any of the above voltages shall not
result in any safety hazard.
Note: Wiring errors may impose telephony voltages differentially across 10BASE-T
transmitters or receivers. Because the termination resistance likely to be
present across a receiver’s input is of substantially lower impedance than an
off-hook telephone instrument, receivers will generally appear to the
telephone system as off-hook telephones. Therefore, full-ring voltages will
be applied for only short periods. Transmitters that are coupled using
transformers will similarly appear like off-hook telephones (though perhaps a
bit more slowly) due to the low resistance of the transformer coil.

Chapter 2. System Settings 443


BAM Configuration

• Environment:
 Electromagnetic emission:
The twisted-pair link shall comply with applicable local and national codes
for the limitation of electromagnetic interference.
 Temperature and humidity:
The twisted-pair link is expected to operate over a reasonable range of
environmental conditions related to temperature, humidity, and physical
handling (such as shock and vibration). Specific requirements and values for
these parameters are considered to be beyond the scope of this standard.
It is recommended that manufacturers indicate in the literature associated
with the MAU (Medium Attachment Unit) the operating environmental
conditions to facilitate selection, installation, and maintenance.
It is recommended that manufacturers indicate, in the literature associated
with the components of the twisted-pair link segment, the distance and
operating environmental conditions over which the specifications of 14.4
(see document IEEE STANDARD FOR ETHERNET, section 1) will be met.

Chapter 3. Technical Specification 499


Software Technical Specification

Sensors (Input/Output)
Operation according to the IEC 61162-1 or NMEA 0183.

Maximum 20 available Com ports for the external sensors connection.

Positioning
GGA, GLL, RMC, DTM, VTG, ZDA, sentences are processed:

• Positioning.
Capability to use positioning from the sensor (in GGA\GLL…NMEA sentence
format) of one of the following positioning systems: GPS (DGPS), GLONASS,
GNSS, LORAN-C.

• Time.
As a time sensor the positioning system receiver is commonly used
(GPS, GLONASS, etc.) or other equipment, which transmits this data type.

The ZDA sentence received on this channel can be processed by the MFD.

To receive time from an external source run System Configuration Utility/Sensors/


Sensors/UTC for indicating the port to which this source is connected. If the time
source is not connected in the System Configuration utility, the computer time
is used.
ATTENTION!
The computer date and time may be different from Greenwich date and time. This error
will not be taken into account in the MFD operation.

In order to avoid such situation, the transmission of data on Greenwich time and
date from an external source (e.g., GPS or transponder) should be ensured.

If no information on time and date, or only the information on time arrives,


it is necessary, before the system is run for the first time, to use Start/Control
Panel/Date/Time for setting the computer time and date as equal to Greenwich time
and date (in the case of time the accuracy of up to one hour would be sufficient).
This conformity should be checked at least once a month.

Winterisation Heater Kits for NGSM Turning Units Technical Data


Design Parameters
The primary function of the Winterisation Heater Assemblies is to keep the turning
unit mechanisms and contents above the minimum operating temperature of the
equipment when it is not heated, which is -40°C.

The actual temperature of the Turning unit structures, when heated by the
Winterisation Heater Assemblies depends significantly on the weather conditions.
The heater assemblies have been shown to enable the equipment to be cold started
in an ambient temperature of -55°C in an airflow of approximately 5 msˉ¹, without
precipitation.
Electrical and Thermal Characteristics
The heating elements are made up of self-regulating thermistors i.e. the current
drawn is temperature dependent: At lower temperatures, the heaters dissipate more
power. The heaters have a high inrush current (see the table below).
Environmental Specification
The Winterisation Heater kits are designed to comply with the requirements of
IEC60945 Ed 4 2002, in the ‘Exposed’ environmental class. In particular, the
equipment is designed to meet the following environmental aspects of IEC 60945 in
the condition stated described in the table below.

For weights and dimensions overall see below paragraph Outline Drawings.

Compass Safe Distance


Due to the low magnetic material contained in the heater assemblies, the compass
safe distance of Turning units is unaffected by fitting the heater kits. The compass
safe distance of Turning units remains as indicated on their nameplates.

General
This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts,
brownouts, sags and surges from reaching computer with MFD. This UPS also filters
out small utility line fluctuations and isolates equipment from large disturbances by
internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power from its internal
batteries until the utility line returns to safe level.

UPS6 consists of following Phoenix modules:

• EMC Filter ME-MAX/NEF/QUINT20A;


• Primary-Switched Power Supply Unit QUINT-PS/1AC/24DC/20;
• Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit for Universal Use QUINT-DC-UPS/24DC/20;

QUINT-PS/1AC/24DC/20 Primary-Switched Power Supply


with SFB technology, 1 AC, output current 20 A
Description
QUINT POWER power supply units – highest system availability due
to SFB technology.

Compact power supply units of the new QUINT POWER generation maximize the
availability of your system. Even the standard power circuit-breakers can be tripped

Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit for Universal Use


QUINT-DC-UPS/24DC/20
Description
• Uninterruptible Power Supply Units for Buffering Long-Term Power
Interruptions;
• Saves space thanks to the compact, uniform design;
• Integrated diode saves money through isolation of loads;
• Maximum system availability through optimum battery management and reliable
signaling;
• Minimum installation time due to ready-to-use plug-in bridges and integrated
timeout.
QUINT-DC-UPS uninterruptible power supply units with long-life lead-acid batteries
provide long buffer times at high currents. Even in the event of a longer supply
voltage failure, the units ensure that all connected devices continue to operate
without interruption.

The devices have a narrow and uniform design, which makes them ideal for use on
the DIN rail where space is limited. In addition, short wiring paths ensure order and
clarity in the control cabinet.

The high level of availability and the particularly long service life of the battery
modules are achieved through professional battery management. An automatic
presence check (every minute), automatic quality test (once a week), temperature-
determined charging, and electronic over current protection ensure the battery
modules are ready to operate at all times. Power is therefore available in the event
of an error and the service life of the battery module is maximized.

534 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Hardware Technical Specification

The actual state must be determined quickly so that the right decision can be made
in an emergency. Optimum signaling is thus required for maximum system
availability. Three floating PDT contacts and three LED’s are provided for function
monitoring, which indicate all the operating states clearly.

So that relay signaling is more reliable and more durable than before, an additional
positive supply output has been provided. The contact, which is current-limited
and resistant to continued short circuits, is located next to the relay connections
and enables easy bridging. In the event of wiring errors, the shortcircuit protection
prevents any welding of the relay contacts. This ensures that the user can rely on
an OK signal. Even in the event of connection errors, currents remain below
100 mA, which prevents damage to the relay contacts.

A system is switched off after a specific time that can be set on the device or by
an external signal.

No additional installation is required for shutdown. In addition, ready-to-use plug-in


bridges minimize the installation time.

The connected devices can be divided into buffered and unbuffered loads using the
isolated input. This extends the buffer time, which depends on the output current.
If only critical devices are protected using fuses, smaller battery modules can be
used that save money and space in the control cabinet. In addition, the isolated
input protects the connected devices against errors in the internal network.

Weidmüller UPS
CP DC UPS 24V 20A/10A
General
The UPS control unit together with the associated battery module and the power
supply unit form a complete DC UPS system. In normal operation, the input voltage
from the UPS control unit is connected directly to the load. In the event of a mains
failure (drop of the DC input voltage) the system switches instantly to battery
operation.
Once the mains supply has been restored, the system switches back to normal
operation and the battery is fully recharged by the integrated charger.
Three relay outputs, as well as three additional active transistor outputs and a
control input to lock battery operation, provide full remote control by means of SPS
or DCS control. Numerous modes of operation and an easy-to- use status display
provide rapid fault diagnosis and optimum customisation to the application.

Redundancy Module QUINT-DIODE/40


General
QUINT DIODE provides:

• 100% decoupling of power supplies connected in parallel;


• Can be installed in potentially explosive areas;
• Load currents up to 60 A supported;
• Easy assembly by snapping onto the DIN rail.

Fig. 262. Redundancy module QUINT-DIODE/40

552 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Hardware Technical Specification

Description
The redundancy module can be used to 100% decouple two power supplies of the
same type, which are connected in parallel on the output side to increase power or
provide redundancy.

The reliability of a power supply determines the availability of individual components


in a system and whether complex systems can function safely.

Redundant connections are designed for supplying systems, which place particularly
high requirements on operational safety. The redundant configuration of the power
supply ensures continuous system availability.

The power supply of a system can be configured redundantly through


the connection of at least two power supply units in parallel. Together they then
supply the connected devices. The connected power supplies must be large enough
that the total current requirements of all devices can be fully met by one power
supply. In the event of an internal fault on one device or a mains voltage supply
failure on the primary side, the other device automatically takes over the complete
power supply without interruption, and vice versa.

ES6 Dedicated Keyboard with Trackball


General
• ES6 keyboard with Trackball (the ES6 in what follows) is a control unit inside
the Transas systems.
• The ES6 consists of:
– The PC compatible keyboard unit with two fields (QWERTY- and function-
keys);
– Separate trackball unit with trackball, two left buttons (one on each side of
the Trackball), one right button and an optional scroll wheel.
• Power supply 24VDC (-10/+30% according to IEC 60945);
• USB or PS2 connection to computer;
• Up to 7 devices ES6 keyboard or ES6 trackball can be connected via the inbuilt
CAN-bus interface (with connection speed 250 kb) to the same computer;
• USB port on top, connected to computers USB interface, for connection of
external data storage media;
• RS232 interface.

Keyboard Unit Overview


The keyboard unit is made up of basically four parts:

• Plastic front part with holes for keys, indicators and rotational controls,
e.g., Rain, Gain, Dimmer;
• Silicon rubber keypad with contact pads for the QWERTY-keys;
• Printed circuit board with LED’s for background light and indicators, tactile
switches for function keys, rotary encoders, control electronics and connectors;
• Plastic back cover.

Keyboard QWERTY-Field
The keys are designed (looks and feel) and placed in a way to resemble a standard
English-American laptop keyboard.

All keys are backlit with orange/yellow LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes). The keys
are printed with a “hiding-effect”, i.e. the key legends are normally invisible when
not lit. The QWERTY-field is normally not lit, when a key is pressed the backlight
is switched on and this first key press is not sent to the PC. When no key
of the QWERTY-field is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the backlight
will be switched off.

Keyboard Function Field


All function keys have a tactile switch on the PCB to give a distinct “click” feeling.

The tracking keys are printed with a “hiding-effect”, i.e. the key legends are normally
invisible when not lit. They are lit only when the tracking function is active.

General Considerations on Installation and Operation


The DuraMON GLASS is designed to work at conditions according to IEC 60945.
However, keeping the temperature and vibration level at a minimum will extend the
life time of the product. ISIC recommend operating this product at normal room
temperature (20-25 °C), with the lowest level of vibration and humidity.
DuraMON GLASS Installation
In order to obtain the best possible operating conditions, please note the following
precautions:

• Room for cooling:


When designing the cabinet/console for the DuraMON GLASS, please ensure
that air can flow freely around the cabinet, in order to avoid any unnecessary
rise in temperature. If it is not possible to have an adequate natural airflow, use
a fan to force the airflow to be higher.
• Mounting positions:
To obtain adequate cooling by convection ISIC recommends that the DuraMON
GLASS is mounted at least 30 degrees from horizontal. If this is not possible,
forced cooling must be applied directly to the unit in order not to overheat it.
• Sunlight:
If the unit can be exposed to direct sunlight, there is a potential risk that the unit
can be overheated. Please take measures to prevent direct sunlight. Do also
consider forced cooling on the back of the unit.

Safety Precautions

ATTENTION!
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your MD-219
Series.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire.
Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire
size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat,
causing serious damage to your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal
components generate heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the
touch.
We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the
display:
• Position the display within ±40° of the vertical;
• Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the display if (a) the

608 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Hardware Technical Specification

The displays of the AHD 11xx G series can be dimmed in several modes:

1. In Mode 1 the brightness is set individually and automatically for each display by
a built-in LDR sensor.

2. In Mode 2 the brightness is set automatically by the LDR sensors built into the
operation panels (AHD-DRM T/R, AHD-DC), that is, the according signal is sent
via CAN to the display.

3. In Mode 3 the brightness of all displays connected to CAN5 or the signals from
their built-in LDR sensors, respectively, are captured and the highest value is
set on all displays, resulting in a similar brightness on all displays.

4. In Mode 4 the brightness is set manually with the keys (+/-) of the device.

To activate the configuration mode, the DEFAULT key must be pressed and held
pressed for at least 3 seconds.
An active configuration mode is indicated by a green blinking DEFAULT key. At the
same time, the (+) key is blinking red and white twice.

The currently set mode can be recognized from how often the (+) key blinks in red,
before blinking in white twice again (1x red / 2 x white = Mode 1; 2 x red / 2x white =
Mode 2 and so on).
By pressing the (+) key the mode can be changed in steps:

• From 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, from 3 to 4, from 4 to 1.


By pressing the DEFAULT key for at least 3 seconds the settings are applied and
the configuration mode is quit.

Manually setting the brightness of the displays is only possible after setting Mode 4
in configuration mode and returning to normal operation. In this mode the display’s
brightness is set to 50% by default (user offset) and can be changed by pressing
either the (-) or the (+) key.

Note: At elevated temperatures, the screen brightness can be automatically reduced


with the built-in thermal protection.

Aspect Ratio Setting


The displays of the AHD 11xx G series allow changing the aspect ratio in order to
accurately display various external video signals. The aspect ratio can be set in
configuration mode.
Note: This instruction is valid only for devices of the 2012 series with installed
PRISMA 3A – card!
The displays can be set to 4 different aspect ratio modes.

• Mode 1: Full Screen (standard configuration);


• Mode 2: Letter Box (Expand);
• Mode 3: Pillar Box (Expand);
• Mode 4: Panoramic.
Note: The aspect ratio of the standard visualization cannot be changed!

Chapter 3. Technical Specification 609


Hardware Technical Specification

How to set the aspect ratio:

1. Select the video source you wish to set the aspect ratio for by pushing the
SOURCE button.

2. To activate the configuration mode, press and hold the DEFAULT key for at
least 3 seconds. The DEFAULT key starts to blink.

3. Now push the (-) button until you have reached the desired aspect ratio.
Wait a short moment when you have pushed the button before you push it
again (the software needs some time to accept the new setting).

4. To deactivate the configuration mode, press and hold the DEFAULT key for
at least 3 seconds. The DEFAULT key stops blinking.
Note: Depending on the selected source it may occur that pushing the (-) button
shows no effect. Push the button again until the supported aspect ratio for the
selected source is activated.

Radar Integrator Board RIB6/RIB6B


General Description
The Radar Integrator Board (what’s follow RIB6/RIB6B) is designed for the reception
of analog video signals from the radar and their digitizing, pre-processing and relay
of the radar signal to the dual network as per network protocols for the Transas
navigational products.

The RIB6/RIB6B is intended as means to connect radars from different


manufacturers to a personal computer executing the Transas Navi-Radar and
Navi-Sailor software.
The signal processing is performed in the following order.

At a Trigger signal, the digitizing of the input signal is performed in a pulse sweep
whose size is calculated from the set number of output samples and decimation
coefficients.

The random pulse interference rejection algorithm and pulse matched filter is
implemented. The resulting sector presented at stage “A” in the figure below.

Stage “B” in the figure below presents the result after the azimuth integration
algorithm. The resulting sector shall correspond to the center of all sectors used
in the integration which is presented in stage “C” in the figure below.

The incoming data flow, regardless of the trigger repetition rate and antenna rpm
is reduced to the set number of sectors per an antenna revolution. So before
sending the determined outgoing sector, RIB6/RIB6B has to perform range
compression and sector interpolation of the 16-bits samples related to stage “D” in
the figure below.

The next window allows you to request the whole network about your current
devices. By clicking “List devices on network”, you can get, within a few seconds
(indicated by the progress bar), a listing of all the NautoPlex devices available on the
network.

On this example, you can see a list, being populated, of two present multiplexers on
the network, represented by their hostname, IP address, netmask, and default
gateway (which is an optional settings and can be empty).
By double clicking a line of this list, you can then enter the configuration of this
specific multiplexer. The settings of this multiplexer will be downloaded automatically
(see progress bar).

ATTENTION!
To be able to modify the configuration of a multiplexer, the current computer (where
this configuration software is executed) must be in the same subnet as the
multiplexer, at least during configuration. If you double click on a line representing a
multiplexer which is in another subnet, you will get an error message, and will need
to modify your network settings before going any further. If you want to handle the
configuration for a multiplexer that has a version older than 2.3.49.1 (i.e. not
supporting device listing), or if, for some reason, you want to do the whole

Chapter 3. Technical Specification 621


Hardware Technical Specification

• Data validation:
Data validation is done before trying to change the network configuration. If these
controls fail, then an information message is displayed and nothing happens.

The following controls take place:

– The IP address must be of the form X.X.X.X where X are numbers between 0
and 255. Additionnally, the first number must be between 1 and 223
(inclusive), and different from 127.
– The netmask must be of the form X.X.X.X where X are numbers between 0
and 255. It must respect the constraints of a netmask (i.e. as a binary
representation, it must be a continuous sequence of 1 followed by a
continuous sequence of 0). 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are forbidden.
– The combination of the IP address and the netmask must make sense: the
"host" part of the IP address (not masked by the netmask) cannot be 0.
– The default gateway can be empty (no default gateway will be used), but if
not, it must be of the form X.X.X.X where X are numbers between 0 and 255.
The first number cannot be 0.
– The hostname can be any combination of small unaccentuated letters (a-z),
capital unaccentuated letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), dashes (-), underscores
(_) and points (.). It must contain between 1 and 32 characters (inclusive).
This means for example that it can not contain any space.
• After configuration
If these controls succeed, clicking "Change network configuration" will send a
message to the multiplexer for starting the update. The multiplexer should normally
send a reply and reboot.

Waiting for connection after configuration:

ATTENTION!
As the system uses multicast, it can happen that the multiplexer does not reply. After
a few seconds, you should see this window instead.

This does not mean that the modifications were not taken into account, so it is
recommended to restart the configuration software to list the devices on the network
again.
If the multiplexer correctly replied, then, after approximately 30-40 seconds, you
should get a message indicated that the device has restarted.

622 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Hardware Technical Specification

No response:

Device restart:

You can then go on with the rest of the configuration. If no connection to the
multiplexer, it is possible after approximately 2 minutes, then you get an error
message.
Device did not restart:

You should then check your network configuration and restart the configuration
software.

• Special case: new subnet:


If you changed the IP address and/or netmask of the multiplexer, it can be that the
multiplexer will not be any more in your subnet once it is restarted.
This is indicated by such a message:

In that case, you need to change the network configuration of your own computer, to
put it in the same subnet as the multiplexer before being able to connect to it.

11 “Buffer Size”:
If on one output several inputs (sources) are defined, it sometimes makes sense to
increase the size of the buffer to avoid unnecessary data loss/failure recording. The buffer
can be changed between 5 and 60. The standard setting is 5.
Note that data or signals of several inputs on one output lead to a so called bottle neck.
Please choose the number of inputs always in a meaningful way to avoid unnecessary
failure recording. This is when the data input is bigger than the output can treat.
Example: input = 38000 bits per second and output = 4800 per sec.
Please see the information given under "Filter settings"
12 “Destinations”:
This part is only enabled if the current port (here Port 0) is defined as input
or input/output). In the list are displayed all output (or input/output) ports.
By clicking one or more of these ports, you can define where the incoming data of this port
will be forwarded. For example, here, all the incoming data to Port0 will be transferred to
Port2 (which is an output or an input/output)
13 “Set Dest from Header”:
This checkbox must be checked if you want the incoming data to be routed to a port
depending on its TCP header. The routing using the list as described in point 12 is then
disabled.
Incoming NMEA sentences having a TCP header containing the field d: Alias
(e.g. “\d:GPS2,c:168574.31*A3“) will then be rerouted to the port having the alias Alias
(here GPS2)

Port 0 and 1 as RS232 Interface


The ports 0 and 1 can be configured as RS232 interface.

You must pay attention to the following:

• Make sure that the RS232 interface is correctly connected to the appropriate
port (0 or 1), if necessary, connect it (see section 6.5).
• By taking off the check mark in the field "RS422 ON/OFF (default on use
RS422)" in the port (0 or 1) of the configuration you must communicate which
port (0 or 1) is used as RS232 interface.
• The basic setting is a set check mark; this means the interface is defined as
RS422.

Chapter 3. Technical Specification 625


Hardware Technical Specification

Configuration of the NautoPlex 8 und NautoPlex 8pus8 Filters


Filters are important characteristics to enhance the efficiency and performance of
the multiplexer. Especially when data are routed from a fast port or several ports to a
slow port there is a possibility of a bottleneck effect. There are 2 different
possibilities of filtering:

• Output filters let the data sets, which have been set in the filter, pass through
and refuse all others.
• Input filters are barriers, which refuse the data sets that have been set in the
filter.
You can define for each port a list of filters to be applied to this port. A filter is a part
of a NMEA sentence. For example:

• The filter "GGA" will filter "GPGGA" sentences but not "GPGLL" sentences.
• The filter "GLL" will filter "GPGLL" sentences but not "GPGGA" sentences.
• The filter "GP" will filter "GPGGA" sentences and "GPGLL" sentences.
To enable filters, check the Filter On/Off checkbox (1).

Configuration of the NautoPlex 8, NautoPlex 8plus8 Redundancy


Redundancy enables you to receive data in order of priority which means that the
ports of low priority are sleeping as long as the port of higher priority are receiving
(valid) data. A port is considered receiving no valid data if it receives:

• No data within 2 seconds or


• Only invalid data within 2 seconds (checksum is examined).
Redundancy does not apply to output ports.
Redundancy filters can also be applied: you can define which type of data must be
received so that the port is still considered receiving valid data.

626 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Hardware Technical Specification

In the following example, the port 4 is used as a backup for the port 0. As soon as
the port 0 does not receive any NMEA sentence containing GGA or GLL for more
than 2 seconds, then the port 4 will be activated.

If ports of higher priority get data again (here Port0), the settings get automatically
back to the port of highest priority receiving valid data.

To enable Redundancy, check the On/Off checkbox (1).


Set the backup port number in the field (2).

If you want to define filters, check the checkbox "Sentences on/off" (3), then type the
filters you want to use in the text field (4) and click "Add" (5). To remove a filter that
has been set, select it in the list (6) and click "Delete selected" (7).

+ 2 100FX) industrial switches are a cost-effective solution and meets the high
reliability requirements demanded by industrial applications.
High-Speed Transmissions
Switches provide you with fiber port for your fiber optic cable to make a long-
distance connection. Switches include a switch controller that can automatically
sense transmission speeds (10/100 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-
detected, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically selected and a crossover cable is not
required. All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward
mechanism. This assures that data is properly transmitted.

Dual Power Input


To reduce the risk of power failure, switches provide +9 ~ +56 VDC dual power
inputs. If there is power failure, switches will automatically switch to the secondary
power input.

Flexible Mounting
Switches are extremely compact and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or a panel, so it
is suitable for any space-constrained environment.

meters (328 feet).
• Diagnosing LED Indicators: To assist in identifying problems, the switch can be
easily monitored through panel indicators, which describe common problems the
user may encounter and where the user can find possible solutions.
• If the power indicator does not light on when the power cord is plugged in, you
may have a problem with power cord. Then check for loose power connections,
power losses or surges at power outlet. If you still cannot resolve the problem,
contact your local dealer for assistance.
• If the LED indicators are normal with the correctly connected cables and the
packets still cannot transmit, please check your system’s Ethernet devices’
configuration or status.

Introduction

Fig. 375. Appearance of network switch IES-2404-E-DNV

To create the reliability in your network, the Managed Industrial Switch comes
equipped with a proprietary redundant network protocol X-Ring II, which provides
users with an easy way to establish a redundant Ethernet network with ultra high-
speed recovery time less than 10ms.

The Managed Industrial Switch comes equipped with 4 gigabit SFP sockets which
can be used for the application of wideband uploading and especially long distance
transmission to fit the field request flexibility.

• Heavy duty:
Designed with metal housing, the Managed Industrial Switch provides the rugged
construction which complies with IP30 standards.

• Dual power inputs:


The redundant power input design for the Managed Industrial Switch gives a backup
power solution. With both the power inputs supplied, If either one fails the other one
will be activated to keep the system operating continually. If one of the power inputs
fails, the P-Fail LED indicator lights up and send an alarm through the relay output
for notification purposes.

• Flexible mounting:
The Managed Industrial Switch can be mounted on the wall or a standard DIN rail,
so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.

• Wide operating temperature:


The operating temperature of the Managed Industrial Switch is between -40 and
75oC. With such a wide range, you can deploy the Managed Industrial Switch in
some of the harshest industrial environments.

• Easy troubleshooting:
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Users can identify status of
the switch by observing the LED indicators with the definition table.

RS7 Computer Technical Data


Part No.: 18131116.

The RS7 computer is based on the Intel® Celeron P4505 processor and has two
Gigabit Ethernet ports to maintain Internal and External networks connection. The
unit has a dual input power supply which will accept both AC and DC input, ensuring
that they are compatible with all power systems on all vessels. If both inputs are
connected, the units will be powered by AC. If AC power is disconnected, it will
automatically switch over to DC without affecting the operation of the unit. It makes it
possible to use AC as primary power and a 24V battery as secondary power,
eliminating the need for expensive UPS systems when it is approved by Flag and
Class. It is also fan-less with no moving parts inside which will prolong lifetime and
reduce service costs.

Steering Failure Alarm Rudder Order Freeze Unit SFF10


General
The SFF10 unit is designed to “freeze” a rudder order signal to the actual rudder
angle in case of an autopilot failure.

As long as the autopilot processor unit is working, this will be taken care of by
the autopilot itself.

If the autopilot is NOT ALIVE, then the rudder freeze function is normally implemented
by changing to NFU steering mode as a simple response to an autopilot NOT ALIVE
contact signal. This is a simple feature included in most normal designed steering
control systems.

The SFF10 Unit is designed to complete the missing functionality in some steering
systems where this automatic change over to NFU is not possible. These missing
features then calls for arrangement of an extra observation of the actual rudder
position, and use of this information in a separate freezing of the rudder order.
The AEU shall be of a type with ALIVE Relay built in.
Inputs to SFF10 Unit
• 24 V DC supply from ships switch board;
• Alive contact from the autopilot (open contact = NOT ALIVE);
• Rudder order signal from the autopilot;
• Mode information from the autopilot or directly from the mode control system;
• Actual rudder angle from a rudder feedback unit;
• 24 V DC from the autopilot to supply isolation amplifiers for rudder order signals.
Outputs from SFF10 Unit
• Rudder orders to the independent steering gear systems;
• SFF10 OK contact to the bridge alarm system: “Power OK & SFF10 Function
OK”;
• Alarm contact to the bridge alarm system: “Steering failure in autopilot mode”;
• Relay contact (both with NC and NO states) presenting the “freeze” state to
bridge alarm system;
• Serial NMEA string to VDR holding SFF10 status information.
The Rudder Freeze Function
The SFF10 supplies a rudder feedback potentiometer with ±10 V DC and the built in
processor module MPF11 tracks the actual rudder angle feedback.

In case of an autopilot failure (autopilot NOT ALIVE) the MPF11 freezes the actual
rudder angle, the rudder order from the autopilot is now replaced by this frozen
actual value.

710 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Autopilots

Fig. 418. SFF10 rudder freeze function

The freeze function is only carried out if the autopilot is in control. If the autopilot is
NOT ALIVE when not being in control, then the SFF10 output just follows the failing
output from the autopilot.

The SFF10 unit will always fall back to transmitting the autopilot rudder order signal
in case of a power supply failure. The power supply to the SFF10 must be monitored
by the bridge Navigation Alarm system.

The Control and Display Unit


The Control and Display Unit (CDU) contains the operator controls and indicators
used for Heading Control System operation. The CDU contains a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD), which displays information during installation, operation, and
troubleshooting.

Displays at the CDU indicate the current heading, the ordered heading (set
heading), and related information. Also included at the CDU are various other
operator-accessible controls, which are used for testing the system, for adjusting the
intensity level of the CDU indicators for day or night time viewing, and all other
operator-controlled functions, including muting the audible alarm.

• Width: 287.8 mm;


• Height: 143.8 mm;
• Depth: 44 mm (requires 150 mm minimum clearance for interface cable);
• Weight: 1.5 kg.
Steering Control Unit (SCU)
The SCU contains a microcomputer, input/output terminals, and other control
circuitry required for processing the steering commands and controlling the steering
gear.

SCU dimensions and weight:

• Width: 413 mm;


• Height: 400 mm (requires 550 mm minimum for interface cable clearance);
• Depth: 152 mm (requires 280 mm minimum clearance for cover removal);
• Weight: 4.2 kg.
NAVINET 4000 Steering Control Network
The NAVINET 4000 Steering Control Network provides communications between
the SCU, the CDU, and various bus interface devices. The NAVINET 4000 Steering
Control Network utilizes a 120 Ohm controlled-impedance Controller Area Network
(CAN) bus. CAN is a two-wire, half-duplex, serial network technology which is well
suited for high-speed microcontroller applications.

Characteristics of the CAN bus in the NAVINET 4000 implementation are as follows:

• The data transfer rate of the bus is 250 kilobits per second (kbps);
• The maximum length of the backbone is dependent on the type of Bus Interface
Units being used. For a configuration in which the Bus Interface Units are
version 0.16.03 or later, the maximum bus length is 200 meters. In all other
configurations, the maximum bus length is 100 meters;
• When the NAVINET 4000 bus is powered by the SCU’s internal 15 V bus power
supply, up to 30 devices can be connected to the bus.
To attach bus devices, a splice with an in-line terminal block or a CAN Interface Unit
(CIU) is used to tap into the bus.

Chapter 3. Technical Specification 713


Autopilots

The figures below show a CAN Interface Unit and CAN bus cable stub used to
interface to Heading Control System units
Each end of the bus must be terminated with a 120 Ohm (1/8 Watt or greater)
resistor. The only exception to this rule is for a system in which the only devices on
the bus are a single Control and Display Unit (CDU) and a single Steering Control
Unit (SCU), which are directly connected together. In this case only, use of a single
120 Ohm resistor at the interface point is adequate termination.
The bus can be terminated in any of the following ways:
• Via discrete resistors;
• Via resistors R1 and R2 on a CAN Interface Unit;
• Via the built-in termination resistor on the Steering Control Unit PCB (only
Revision B or later SCU PCB’s have the built in termination resistor).
The installer must ensure that no more than two termination resistors are present.
Additional termination resistors may cause unreliable operation of the bus. If more
than two devices installed on the bus have built-in termination resistors, the installer
must remove or disconnect those resistors as needed, to ensure that terminations
are present only at each end of the bus. For example:
• On the SCU PCB, the termination resistor is connected to the bus when a
soldered bridge (earlier configurations) or a removable jumper (later
configurations) is connected across terminal pair E23-E24 (Fig. 179). If the
termination resistor on the SCU PCB is not to be used, remove the bridge or
jumper across E23-E24.
• On the CAN Interface Unit, each of the two resistors provides a separate bus
termination. Remove both resistors to provide no bus terminations at the CIU;
remove either resistor to provide a single bus termination at the CIU.
The CAN cable shield must be grounded at only one point on the bus. All other taps
or splices must pass the shield through to the connection at the destination device.
Equipment ground and other cable shield grounds must be kept separate. In all
cases, use proper shield grounding techniques, usually connecting the shield to the
vessel hull ground at only one point.
Stubs or taps to bus devices represent a load on the bus. The length of each stub
must be less than 3 meters. Assuming that the CAN bus is powered by the SCU’s
internal 15V bus power supply, the total number of loads on the bus should not
exceed 30 (load current for the 15V bus power supply is approximately equal to

Installation and Connection Requirements


When installing NAVIPILOT 4000, it is necessary to take the following into account:

• The Control and Display Unit (CDU) must be mounted using provided hardware
per the cutout shown below on the picture presented in
item Outlet and Installation Drawing.
• The NAVIPILOT 4000 interconnection cable provides for the cable length
between cable entry location on the display assembly and the Steering Control
Unit (SCU) of up to 3 meters, longer distances require a cable designed for the
CAN bus e.g. Unitronic 2170340. Bus communications will not operate reliably
over other types of cable.
• Suggested mounting angle of the NAVIPILOT 4000 display assembly is
between 15 and 45 degrees from horizontal.
• The CDU and SCU are not intended to be exposed to weather or submerged in,
or have continuous contact with seawater.
• Cabling:
– If armored cables are used, terminate armor outside of unit.
– Secure cabling to slots at enclosure opening using cable ties as required.
– For connection to SCU terminal board, strip wire end 5 to 8 mm.
• Electrical installation:
– RS422 serial interface may have transmit and receive lines split and routed to
different equipment. In these split applications, for NMEA 0183 compliance,
all RS422 receiver circuits shall be optically isolated and both the transmitter
and receiver must have the same baud rate. When it is necessary to connect
two lines to a single I/O terminal, splice the signals externally and run a single
wire to the I/O terminal.
– SCU application configuration jumpers, for complete jumper configuration list,
refer to document NAVIPILOT 4000. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

General

GENERAL
In order to operate adequately in conjunction with navigational sensors, the MFD
should receive certain data from them. This data is required to be transmitted in
accordance with Standard IEC 61162-1 (Edition 4.0, 2010-11) “Maritime navigation
and radio communication equipment and systems. Digital interfaces. Part 1: Single
talker and multiple listeners” or in NMEA-0183 format. In addition, there is also a
range of navigation equipment using specific data exchange protocols. MFD allows
operation with several types of such equipment.

Note: Non-compliance of the sentence Talker ID with the specified standards does
not affect its processing in the MFD. This has been done for ensuring the MFD
compatibility with devices operating according to earlier versions of standards.

ATTENTION!
It is necessary to verify that GPS transmits geographical coordinates referred
to WGS-84 Datum. If it does not, use GPS settings to select WGS-84.
“Primary/Secondary Not WGS 84” alarm status does not change when invalid DTM
sentence is received.
In the processing of all NMEA sentences by the MFD, the maximum admissible
reception interval between them, whereby no alarm is triggered off, is accepted to be
equal to 5 seconds. The exceptions are provided by DTM (35 seconds).

The MFD has provision for a serial interface for a SDME according
to IEC 61162-1. An interface for pulsed/contact signals may also be provided.

When used jointly with the NR, MFD’s should meet the following requirements:

• Gyro equipment or equivalent shall update rate that is adequate for the ship’s
rate of turn;
• The connected own ship speed sensors (SDME) should comply with
the IMO requirements;
• The connected own ship position sensors (EPFS) should be approved in
accordance with requirements of the IMO Resolution MSC.112(73);
• The connected own ship speed sensors (SDME) should comply with
the IMO Resolution MSC.96(72);
• The Speed measuring accuracy of speed sensor shall confirm
to IMO Resolution MSC.96(72);
• The measuring accuracy of GPS shall confirm to IMO Resolution MSC.112(73).

RRT – Report Route Transfer


Note: Refer to IEC 61162-1 for a possible later version of this sentence.
This sentence is used as to notify a device about a route transmission and to report
the status of a received route transmission.

When the sentence is used to inform or notify a device that a monitored route has
been sent to that device, data fields 5 and 6 shall be null. When the sentence is
used to inform or notify a device that an alternate route has been sent to that device,
data fields 4, 5, and 6 shall be null. When the sentence is used to report the status
of receiving and processing a monitored route by the receiving device all data fields
are required. When the sentence is used to report the status of receiving and
processing an alternate route by the receiving device all data fields except data field
4 are required. In this case data field 4 shall be null.

The sentence may also be used to request route information for the case of an
ECDIS that was not powered when a route was sent over the network and thus will
not have the latest information.

After power on, an ECDIS shall send one or more sentences with a ‘Q’ to ask for a

retransmission. A receiver on receiving a sentence with a ‘Q’ shall resend any


monitored and alternate route. If no route is being monitored, the receiver shall
respond with an empty ‘M’ sentence ($--RRT,M,,,,,*hh<CR><LF>). If no alternate
route is active, then an empty ‘A’ sentence shall be sent.

TLB – Target Label


Common target labels for tracked targets. This sentence is used to specify labels for
tracked targets to a device that provides tracked target data (e.g., via the TTM –
Tracked Target Message). This will allow all devices displaying tracked target data
to use a common set of labels (e.g., targets reported by two radars and displayed on
an ECDIS).

message requiring multiple sentences,
each sentence of the message contains
the same sequential message
identification number. It is used to
identify the sentences containing
portions of the same message. This
allows for the possibility that other
sentences might be interleaved with the
message sentences that, taken
collectively, contain a single message.

Universal AIS Transponder Interface

UNIVERSAL AIS TRANSPONDER INTERFACE

Description of Universal AIS Transponder Interface


General
This section describes functionality associated with the data reception/transmission
with the Universal AIS Transponder connected to the MFD.

Universal AIS Transponder is an interface developed strictly in accordance with


the following standards:

• IEC 61993-2, 2001-11-09 “Maritime navigation and radiocommunication


equipment and systems – Class A Shipborne installation of the Universal
Shipborne automatic identification system (AIS) using VHF TDMA techniques”;
• IEC 61162-1, 2001-07 “Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment
and systems – digital interfaces”;
• ITU-R M.1371, 2000 “Technical characteristics for a universal shipborne
automatic identification system using time division multiple access in
the VHF maritime mobile band”;
• IALA Technical Clarification on Recommendation ITY-R M.1371-1 Edition 1.3.
Reception of current own ship identifiers (IMO number, MMSI number) from
the transponder is by VDO sentence (VHF Data-link Own-vessel message).

Data on UAIS targets is received by using VDM sentence (VHF Data-link message).

Reception and transmission of different information between the transponders


are strictly on definite channels (A and B).

Level 3
Data processing is implemented to a full extent according to the descriptions
provided below in paragraphs:

• IALA Technical Clarifications on Recommendation ITU-R M.1371 Edition

Note: The competent international body for Aids-to-Navigation, IALA, defines


an Aid-to-Navigation as: “a device or system external to vessels designed
and operated to enhance safe and efficient navigation of vessels and/or
vessel traffic” (IALA Navguide, Edition 1997, Chapter 7).
The IALA Navguide stipulates: “A floating aid to navigation, which is out of
position, adrift or during the night is unlighted, may itself become a danger
to navigation. When a floating aid is out of position or malfunctioning,
navigational warnings must be given”. Therefore, a station, which transmits
Message 21, could also transmit Safety Related Broadcast Message
(Message 14) upon detecting that the floating Aid-to-Navigation has gone
out of position or is malfunctioning, at the competent authority’s discretion.

ABK – Addressed Binary And Safety Related Message


This sentence is used by the MFD for the reception only via AIS channel in MFD.

The ABK-sentence is generated when a transaction, initiated by reception


of an ABM, AIR, or BBM sentence, is completed or terminated.

This sentence provides information about the success or failure of a requested


ABM broadcast of either ITU-R M.1371 messages 6 or 12. The ABK process utilizes
the information received in ITU-R M.1371 messages 7 and 13. Upon reception
of either a VHF Data-link message 7 or 13, or the failure of messages 6 or 12,
the AIS unit delivers the ABK sentence to the external application.

This sentence is also used to report to the external application the AIS unit’s
handling of the AIR (ITU-R M.1371 message 15) and BBM (ITU-R M.1371
messages 8 and 14) sentences. The external application initiates an interrogation
through the use of the AIR-sentence, or a broadcast through the use of
the BBM sentence. The AIS unit generates an ABK sentence to report the outcome
of the AIR or BBM broadcast process.

message sequence identifier number. The following table lists the origins by
message ID:

Note: Acknowledgements provided are:


• 0 = message (6 or 12) successfully received by the addressed AIS unit;
1 = message (6 or 12) was broadcast, but no acknowledgement by
the distant addressed AIS unit;
• 2 = message could not be broadcast;
• 3 = requested broadcast of message (8, 14, or 15) has been successfully
completed;
• 4 = late reception of a message 7 or 13 acknowledgement “addressed
to ownship” MMSI – identified by; destination MMSI, acknowledgement
source MMSI, message sequence identifier, and message type. Late
reception means that the AIS unit did not have an acknowledgement
process active for the acknowledgement that was received.
ABM – Addressed Binary And Safety Related Message
This sentence is used by the MFD for the transmission only via AIS channel in MFD.
This sentence supports ITU-R M.1371 messages 6 and 12. It provides an external
application with a means to exchange data using AIS. The message data is defined
by the application only – not the AIS. This message offers great flexibility for
implementing system functions that use the AIS like a communications device.
After receiving this sentence, the AIS initiates a radio broadcast on the VHF Data
Link (VDL) of either message 6 or 12. The AIS will make up to four broadcasts of
the message. The actual number will depend on the reception of an acknowledgement
from the addressed “destination” AIS. The default time between retries is 4 sec.
Retries will not be attempted more frequently than 4 sec. Retries stop when
the appropriate acknowledgement (see ITU-R M.1371 messages 7 and 13) is
received. The AIS will make up to 4 broadcasts, original broadcast plus three retires.
This process could take 32 sec to complete.
The success or failure of the reception of this broadcast by the intended AIS
unit is confirmed through the use of the “Addressed and binary Broadcast
Acknowledgement (ABK)” sentence formatter, and the processes that support
the generation of an ABK-sentence. The AIS is also limited in the amount
of encapsulated data that can be sent in each slot and frame. If the length of
the message would exceed five slots, or the AIS broadcast would exceed the limit
of 20 RATDMA slot transmissions for the current frame, the AIS will return an
ABK-sentence with an acknowledgement of “2” – message could not be broadcast.

Description of the MFD and Rhotheta RT-202 RDF Interface

ASCII Format
NAVTEX messages have the following format (the message shown in the drawing
serves as an example):

Fig. 457. NAVTEX message

• ZCZC – message start identifier;


• S – transmitting station identifier (S – Nitone);
• A – message type identifier (A – navigational warnings);
• 43 – message number (43);
• Error rate – message reception error transmitted by the NAVTEX receiver;
• WZ 250 – warning type identifier and its current number: text of the message;
• CANCEL WZ 247 (SA41) indicates cancellation of WZ 247 warning sent
in message SA41. It is highlighted with the red colour;
• NNNN – message end identifier.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MFD AND RHOTHETA RT-202


RDF INTERFACE
The MFD is processing a constant data flow supplied by Rhotheta RT-202 radio
direction finder according to certain rules. No messages are transmitted from
the MFD to RT-202. The message format is described in detail in RHOTHETA
RT-202. OPERATING INSTRUCTION. This document specifies the rules of
processing messages from RT202:
• Data output protocol.
Each message starts with a header-sign (ASCII-sign for identifying the type of
message). Following headers are possible: “S” = hex53, “P” = hex50, “V” = hex56,
“A” = hex41, “L” = hex4C, “N” = 0x4E. Then follows the proper information,
consisting of three ASCII decimals: “0” to “9” = hex30 to hex39. As end mark two
ASCII final marks are used: “CR” = hex0D (CarriageReturn) and “LF” = hex0A
(LineFeed).
Header Content Specification

S XXX Status output:


= 0xx no received signal (no bearing);
= 2xx received signal but active frequency storage; no bearing/error caused by
exceeding frequency deviation of transmitted signal (> ±6 kHz);
= 1xx receiving signal (bearing active)
P XXX Level of received signal/field intensity in %
= 000 099
V XXX Display of supplied voltage, e.g., 132 corresponds to 13.2 V
= 050 280
N XXX Low audio-frequency (averaged about 100 ms) in 10 Hz,
= 000 255 e.g., 124 corresponds to 1240 Hz
A XXX Averaged DF value in degrees (average-value, resolution 2 degrees)
= 000 353
1 XXX Unvaried DF value in degrees (momentary value, resolution 1 degree)
= 000 359

798 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Description of the MFD and Rhotheta RT-202 RDF Interface

• Remarks.
The unaveraged DF value shows a certain spread, depending on the received
signal. It can be used, if required, as indicator of the DF value quality. When working
with the direction finder only, the displayed averaged value should be used:
– Field “S” is the first to be processed. The message is further ignored if “S”
field contains 0xx or 2xx parameters. And, vice versa, it is processed if
the message contains 1xx parameter meaning that a bearing signal has
been received;
– The second step is to analyse “P” field. Field “P” contains information
(in per cent) on the intensity level of the received MOB bearing signal
(transmitter of 121.5 MHz signal). Accordingly, the lower the level, the weaker
signal has been received. It should be noted that the signal processing level
is set direct from RT-202 sensor (for a detailed description, see RHOTHETA
RT202. OPERATING INSTRUCTION). The optimum condition would be
to make an identical setting of the processed signal level in RT-202 sensor
and in on “SAR” page of “Tasks” panel of ECDIS task. The signal is analysed
by comparing a parameter from “P” field and data entered by the operator
in ”Use the signal with the level of intensity more than XX %” input window
on ”SAR” page of “Tasks” panel of ECDIS task. If “P” parameter is lower than
the signal processing level set by the operator, the message is ignored.
Otherwise, the message is accepted for further processing;
– If the two above conditions are fulfilled, the MFD processes field “A”
containing information on the MOB object bearing. It should be noted that this
is a relative bearing, whereas to be plotted in the ECDIS task or transmitted
to other ships via the AIS, the bearing should be corrected to true.

ATTENTION!
For the MFD “MAN OVERBOARD” functionality to operate with the radio direction
finder and AIS, the MFD is required to receive a valid compass heading value.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to plot a true MOB object bearing on the electronic
chart, or to transmit it to other targets via AIS facilities.

General
Sentence Structure
A special Sentence Editor is used for the aforementioned purposes. The Editor
contains the database of like NMEA sentences, which are processed by the MFD.

When creating or editing sentences, the user specifies to the MFD the rules which
this sentence will be processed by.

The first step in the setting of parameter extraction rules is the determining
of the structure of a sentence containing parameters. Press New button:

Annex A. Additional Settings for Navi-Conning 811


Adjustment of MFD Operation with NMEA Custom

While creating the sentence structure, the user sets the criterion for checking
the correctness of the sentence, which is being received. If at least one of
the characteristics of a newly created sentence does not correspond to
the characteristics of the sentence, which is being received, it will be ignored.
The sentence has the following characteristics:

• Start Symbol – sentence start symbol;


• Talker – information source identifier. If the identifier is specified, only those
sentences, which have the set identifier, will be processed. The rest of
the sentences, even if they have the same structure, will be ignored. If a
identifier isn’t specified, all the sentences which have this structure, will be
processed regardless of the information source identifier;
• Name – sentence identifier. If the identifiers of the sentence which is being
received and which is being created do no match, they will be ignored;
• Number of fields – number of fields in the sentence (up to 60 fields long). Where
the number of fields in a received sentence does not correspond to the value set by
the user, the sentence will be ignored;
• Checksum – a mandatory validity check performed on the data contained
in the sentences, calculated by the external device, appended to the message,
then re-calculated by the MFD for comparison to determine if the message
was received correctly. If these checksums do no match, the sentence
will be ignored.
Set several fields and press the “Next >” button. An example of creating a custom
NMEA will be provided in the next paragraph:

The next step is to determine the structure of sentence fields. Each field in a sentence
can contain the following characteristics:

• Value – parameter value;


• Unit – parameter measurement units;
• Status – parameter status;
• Reference – parameter reference;
• Empty field.

By default, fields in the sentence structure are empty, which corresponds


to the pressed Empty button.

To determine which parameter characteristics the selected field contains (value,


measurement units, status or reference), position the cursor on the necessary field
and press the appropriate button.

Parameter Value
Parameters may have digital and symbol values, which may be of constant or variable
length; this is why it is necessary to determine the format of the field containing
the parameter value. These settings are made at the fields’ structure formation stage.

Field formats are provided in the table below:

Parameter Measurement Units


The parameter has the measurement units determined by the measurement unit
identifier, which arrives in a separate field of the same sentence as the parameter
itself. It is necessary to specify all the possible identifier values, which may arrive
in this field. Appropriate measurement units will be selected according to this identifier.
These settings are made at the field structure formation stage.

Factors for re-calculating all the measurement units to the system which
the MFD operates with are specified separately in MultiUnit column.

Parameter Status
The parameter may have a status, which determines its reliability. The status always
has two values: Valid/Invalid. The user determines characters, which may arrive
in Status field, at the field structure formation stage.

814 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


Adjustment of MFD Operation with NMEA Custom

Parameter Reference
The parameter may have an additional characteristic: a reference, which may be
of two types:

• Parametric, which differs the parameter from other parameters, whose value
arrives in the same sentence field. E.g., in MWV sentence, the reference
indicates theoretical or relative wind is specified in the given sentence;

• Sign, which allows a positive or negative value to be assigned to the parameter


and then taken into account in the further processing. This reference always has
two values only. E.g., it is used in GLL for the ship coordinates (“+” – North,
“-” – South) or XTD to specify the direction (“+” – starboard, “-” – port).

Characters, which may arrive in Reference field, are determined by the user
at the field structure formation stage.

Creating New Sentences Structure


As an example, we will consider an algorithm for retrieving parameters from
the NMEA MWV sentence, which can be used in much the same way for retrieving
parameters from any customised NMEA like sentence.
In “NMEA Custom” page press New button:

In “Sentence header and structure” window, which will open up, in Start symbol group
set the necessary start symbol by choosing the appropriate option button.
E.g., for MWV sentence, select “$”:

In Talker box, set the identifier of the device, which the sentence is supplied by;
to do this, enter it in block letters in Manual input box. The number of entered
identifier characters should be two. E.g., for MWV sentence which is supplied
by the wind sensor imitator, the identifier will be “TE”. Use Name text box to enter
the sentence identifier. The number of entered sentence identifier characters
should be three:

Use Number of Fields text box to enter the number of fields in the sentence, which is
being created. E.g., for MWV sentence, it is 5. If necessary, check Check Sum
checkbox for checksums comparison:

NGSM SCANNERS CABLES AND WAVEGUIDE


INSTALLATION

Fitting RF Feeder Cable (S-band Coaxial Cable)


A RF coaxial cable is used for the run between the bulkhead Transceiver unit and
the Turning unit with S-band radars. The cable used is Andrew Antennas Heliax
AVA 5-50 50-Ohm, overall diameter 28 mm (1.1 in).

Although robust, the cable must be protected against strain and kinking, and must
be treated with the greatest care at all times. The ends of the cable must be kept
sealed against the ingress of moisture before the connectors are assembled.

Wherever possible, bends should have as great a bending radius as practicable. A


single bend may be made when necessary with a minimum bending radius
(measured from the axis of the cable) of 250 mm (10 in).

For convenience, the upper (Turning unit) connector can be fitted before you install
the cable. Because of the possibility of movement of the inner conductor relative to
the outer conductor the following precautions must be taken:

1. Any bend required within 1 m (3 ft) of the cable end must be formed before
carrying out the cutting and assembly procedure detailed in subsequent
paragraphs. No bend may be closer that 250 mm (10in) from the end of the
cable.

2. To allow for movement between the Turning unit and mast, whenever possible,
a double bend should be formed in the cable to produce an offset immediately
below the Turning unit.

3. The cable and assembled connector should be fitted to the Turning unit so that
a minimum amount of distortion of the cable occurs between the connector and
the pre-formed bend.

4. The cable should be installed and secured in position (using the waveguide
supports) as far as is practicable before the lower (Transceiver unit) connector is
fitted to the cable. The precautions given in paragraph 1 above must be
observed if a bend is required adjacent to the Transceiver unit.

Assembling the Connectors


General
A straight connector assembly (type L45DM) is used to terminate the feeder cable at
each end. The assembly comprises a clamping nut, spring ring, outer connector,
cable cutting guide and compression cap.
Tools required
A fine-toothed blade hacksaw, a 1¼ in open-ended spanner and a 13/8 in open-
ended spanner will be sufficient for fitting the connectors to the cable.
Procedure
The procedure that follows applies to the straight connectors at each end of the
feeder cable. It is very important that swarf and other foreign matter is prevented
from entering the cable.

878 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

Prepare the cable end and assemble the connector as follows:

1. Using a knife, remove approximately 2 in (50 mm) from the end of the jacket.

2. Make sure the end of the cable is straight by attaching the cable cutting guide
approximately 1 ½ in (38 mm) from the jacket and cutting the end of the cable
using a hacksaw.

3. Deburr the inside edge of the inner conductor and the inside edge of the outer
conductor.

4. Deburr the outside edge of the outer conductor. Be sure outer conductor is
round and undistorted.

5. Using a wire brush carefully remove debris from the end of the cable.

6. Add the clamping nut to the end of the cable, push the nut up the cable until it
covers the jacket end.

Annex D. Scanners Cables Handling 879


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

7. Add the spring ring to the cable end.

8. Attach the compression cap to the cable end and using a twisting motion
compress the cable foam against the clamping nut.

9. Attach the outer connector to cable end and screw onto the clamping nut.

10. Tighten the outer connector using the 1¼in and 13/8in spanners. Hold the outer
connector with one spanner and turn the clamping nut; do not turn the outer
connector. Make sure there is good metal to metal contact between the
clamping nut and outer connector.

Fitting the Deck Gland


The 7/8 in RF feeder cable passes through its own separate deck gland, positioned
near the foot of the mast. The gland kit consists of:

• A rubber boot;
• Adjustable tension clamp (with screws);
• Gland half plates;

880 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

• Six sealing washers;


• Butyl sealing tape.
In addition you will need the following (obtained locally) (see figure below):

• Six M6 bolts (of suitable length);


• Six M6 flat washers;
• Six M6 lock washers;
• Six M6 nuts.
To fit the deck gland do the following:

1. Cut a 40 mm diameter entrance hole in the deck, having installed and secured
the cable from the Turning unit down the mast; pass the Transceiver unit end
through the entrance hole.

2. Remove the paper from the Butyl tape.


Cover the cable in the area of the deck gland with the butyl tape.

3. Place the boot around the feeder, position the boot over the butyl tape, and fit
the tension clamp. Offer the boot up to the entrance hole in the deck and mark
the location of the six holes for the fixing bolts.

4. Withdraw the boot from the hole and drill six 7 mm mounting holes through the
deck.

5. Slide the boot back over the entrance hole in the deck and tighten the tension
clamp. Apply sealant to the face of the gland boot.

6. Align the holes in the gland half plates with the holes in the boot and the holes in
the deck. Secure the assembly in position with six M6 bolts, flat washers, lock
washers and nuts, together with the sealing washers provided in the kit.
The bolts are inserted downwards and the sealing washers only go under the
bolt heads, see figure below for location details.

Annex D. Scanners Cables Handling 881


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

Installing Cable Supports


Cable Hangers are supplied (Andrew Hanger Kit Type 42396A-5) to support the
cable along the cable run between the scanner unit and the bulkhead transceiver.
Each kit contains 10 Hangers. Their associated Fixing Kit (Andrew Type 31769-1) is
included as part of the Installation Kit.

Normally, a hanger is attached to a cable tray, using suitable bolts, at a


recommended spacing of 0.9 metres (3 feet). The support brackets must be fitted to
the hangers to prevent distortion when the hanger is wrapped around the coaxial
cable as shown in the figure below.

The figure also shows additional hardware (not supplied in the Installation Kit) that
helps with special mounting arrangements. If required, these can be purchased from
Andrew Corporation.

882 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

Fitting RF Elliptical Waveguide


For X-band radars a 33.5 mm x 22.9 mm corrugated elliptical waveguide is used for
the run between the bulkhead Transceiver unit and the Turning unit. The waveguide
used is Andrew Antennas Type EW85.

A 12" flexible waveguide (Part No 1189.z, supplied) must be fitted between the
elliptical waveguide and the Turning unit. Although apparently robust, the waveguide
must be protected against strain and kinking, and must be treated with great care.
The ends of the waveguide must be kept sealed against the ingress of moisture
before the connectors are assembled. The maximum permissible twist is 3°/metre
(39").

Bends should have the largest bending radius practicable. A single bend may be
made when necessary with a minimum bending radius (measured from the axis of
the waveguide) of 203 mm (8 in) in the ‘E’ plane, and 482 mm (19 in) in the ‘H’
plane.

Fig. 461. Waveguide planes

For convenience, the upper (Turning unit) connector can be fitted before installation
of the waveguide (waveguide kits supplied by Sperry Marine have one connector
fitted) but the following precautions must be taken:

1. Any bend required within 1 m (3 ft) of the waveguide end must be formed before
carrying out the cutting and assembly procedure described in subsequent
paragraphs. No bend may be nearer than 250 mm (10 in) from the end of the
waveguide.

2. Whenever possible, to allow for movement between the Turning unit and mast,
a double bend should be formed in the waveguide to produce an offset
immediately below the Turning unit.

3. Remove the waveguide plug from the underside of the antenna and the yellow
sealing cap from the waveguide aperture on the Turning unit.
Do NOT remove the plastic membrane over the Turning unit waveguide
aperture.

4. The waveguide and assembled connector should be fitted to the Turning unit so
that a minimum amount of distortion of the waveguide occurs between the
connector and the pre-formed bend.

5. The waveguide should be installed and secured in position (using the


waveguide supports shown in the figure below) as far as is practicable before
the lower Transceiver unit connector is fitted to the waveguide.
The precautions given in Chapter 1 above must be observed if a bend is
required adjacent to the Transceiver unit.

Annex D. Scanners Cables Handling 883


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

Assembling Connectors to Waveguide Using Andrew Antenna


Waveguide Kit
General
A straight connector (Type 185BC) is used to terminate the waveguide at each end.
Tools required
You will need a hacksaw (with a fine-toothed blade) and 1-15/16" openended
spanner to fit the connectors to the waveguide.
Procedure
The procedure that follows applies to the straight connectors at each end of the
waveguide. It is very important that swarf and other foreign matter is prevented from
entering the waveguide.

Prepare the waveguide end and assemble the connector as follows:

4. Make sure the end of the waveguide is straight for at least 250 mm (10 in). The
ends of the waveguide must be cut squarely, to ensure this wrap a straight
edged piece of paper around the waveguide. Tilt the waveguide downwards to
prevent copper swarf entering. Remove a 24 mm (15/16 in) length of the
polyethylene jacket. Clean the external copper with Comothene (or Ultraclean)
solvent and the interior with a bottlebrush.

Fig. 462. Cut jacket

5. Apply a thin film of silicone grease (MS4 or similar) to the large ‘O’-ring and
insert it in the internal groove of the clamping nut. Apply a thin film of grease to
the smooth internal surface of the clamping nut and slip the nut over the end of
the waveguide, as shown in the figure above. Wrap several turns of tape around
the clamping nut and jacket to prevent foreign matter from entering.

6. Grease the cut edge of the jacket. Slip the chamfered end of the compression
ring over until the recessed edge bottoms against the jacket (align the pin in
holes facing away from the jacket), as shown in the figures below.

Fig. 463. Fit compression ring

7. Turn the gasket inside out and fit it on to the end of the waveguide.
Apply a thin film of silicone grease to the gasket threads. Roll the gasket over to
the correct position and against the compression ring, see the figure below, and
apply a thin film of grease to the outside surface of the gasket. Clean any
grease from the exposed copper with solvent.

884 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY (v.3.00.340). Installation Guide Part I


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

Fig. 464. Fit flare ring

8. Fit the recessed side of the flare ring over the gasket, with alignment holes of
the flare ring and compression ring corresponding. Push the flare ring firmly
against the compression ring.

Fig. 465. Cut tabs

9. With tin-snips, cut the bared end of the waveguide into tabs 1/8in wide and 1/8in
deep – as close to the flange as possible, see the figure above. Flatten the tabs
against the flare ring with a mallet using minimum force. Heavy blows will
reduce the thickness of the copper, see the figure below. Trim off any tab
protruding beyond the edge of the flare ring. Clean the tabs with solvent to
remove any silicone grease.

Fig. 466. Flare end

10. Make sure the mating RF contact face of the Type 185AC connector body is
clean and thoroughly grease-free. Clean the inside of the waveguide with a
bottlebrush.

11. Fit the smaller ‘O’-ring to the external groove on the connector body without any
grease, see the figure below. Apply a thin film of grease to the rear outer surface
of the compression ring (so that the large ‘O’-ring in the clamping nut will slide
over the compression ring and seat in the recess).

Fig. 467. Fit connector

Annex D. Scanners Cables Handling 885


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

12. Place the connector body against the flare ring. Insert the alignment pin in the
holes of the flare ring and compression ring. Remove the tape from the clamping
nut. Slide it over the rings and screw it to the thread on the connector body.

13. Hold the rectangular part of the connector body with an adjustable spanner and
tighten the clamping nut with 1-15/16 in set spanner across the flats. DO NOT
turn the connector body.

2. Slide the sealing profile (4) onto the corrugated tube, as shown in the figure
below.

3. Slide back end (3) onto waveguide up to sealing profile.

Fig. 470. Waveguide flanging

4. Cut in the corrugated copper tube circumferential up to the back end using tin
shears. The distance between the copper tube end and the back end should be
approximately 4 mm. Cut evenly with a space of approximately 3 mm, with
spacing smaller than 2 mm at ends of larger elliptical axis, see the figure below.

Fig. 471. Cutting copper tube

5. Bend the feathered ends of the copper tube out and flange to the back end
using a hammer, see the figure below. Do not deform the inner bending area. If
necessary, flatten the contact surface with a file. Remove cloth and any swarf
from the inside of the waveguide.

Fig. 472. Treating the copper tube end

Assembly of Adapter Section


6. Screw together the back end (3) with sealing ring (2) and adapter section (1).
Tighten allen screws rigidly alternating crosswise.

7. Wrap up the gap between the back end and the waveguide jacket with adhesive
tape.

Annex D. Scanners Cables Handling 887


NGSM Scanners Cables and Waveguide Installation

8. Screw Plast tube into the M9 filling port, tilt the assembly downwards and slowly
fill up with the Past 2000, see the figure below. The back end is filled completely
when the tape swells all around.

9. Remove the tube and close the port with the plastic screw (6). Clean surplus
Plast from the area.

Note: The curing time for Plast 2000 is at least 24 hours. The waveguide must not
be pressurized before this period.

Fig. 473. Injection of plast 2000

Fitting the Deck Gland


The EW85 waveguide passes through its own separate deck gland (part number
9391991 (sks86347/a), positioned near the foot of the mast. The kit consists of a
deck gland, gasket, upper and lower pressure plates, four m6 x25 screws and four
split gaskets.

To fit the deck gland:

1. Cut the deck and fit the flange using suitable fixings (not supplied – see the
figure below).

2. Assemble the deck flange split gaskets (refer to note below) loosely around the
waveguide section from below.

3. Slide the assembly upwards into the deck gland, see the figure below.

4. Secure the waveguide down the mast.

5. Tighten the four split gasket screws carefully. Do not over-tighten the screws.
This avoids possible distortion of the waveguide.

6. Fill the space between the waveguide and deck gland with hermastic oil-proof
compound.

Note: Split gaskets must be fitted in alternative positions to make sure the split
does not line up with the split of an adjacent gasket.
Initially, assemble the gaskets loosely before inserting them into the deck flange,
see the figure below. The assembly may be inverted to give you better access to the
screws.
