z Safety Cautions z

Cautions for High Voltage


High voltages, ranging from several hundreds to tens of thousands of volts, are used in electronic apparatus,
such as radio and radar instruments. These voltages are totally harmless in most operations. However,
touching a component inside the unit is very dangerous. (Any person other than authorized service
engineers should not maintain, inspect, or adjust the unit.)
High voltages on the order of tens of thousand volts are most likely to cause instant deaths from electrical
shocks. At times, even voltages on the order of several hundred volts could lead to electrocution. To defend
against electrical shock hazards, don't put your hand into the inside of apparatus.
When you put in a hand unavoidably in case of urgent, it is strongly suggested to turn off the power switch
and allow the capacitors, etc. to discharge with a wire having its one end positively grounded to remove
residual charges. Before you put your hand into the inside of apparatus, make sure that internal parts are no
longer charged. Extra protection is ensured by wearing dry cotton gloves at this time. Another important
precaution to observe is to keep one hand in your pocket at a time, instead of using both hands at the same
time. It is also important to select a secure footing to work on, as the secondary effects of electrical shock
hazards can be more serious. In the event of electrical shocks, disinfect the burnt site completely and obtain
medical care immediately.

Precautions for Rescue of Victim


of Electric Shock
When a victim of electric shock is found, turn off the power source and ground the circuit immediately. If this
is impossible, move the victim away from the unit as quick as possible without touching him or her with bare
hands. He or she can safely be moved if an insulating material such as dry wood plate or cloth is used.
It is necessary to perform first aid immediately.
Breathing may stop if current flows through the respiration center of brain due to electric shock. If the electric
shock is not large, breathing can be restored by artificial respiration. A victim of electric shock looks pale and
his or her pulse may become very weak or stop, resulting in unconsciousness and rigidity at worst.

unit that displays information on the depth and formation of the seabed.
This information is gained by using ultrasonic waves sent from the transducer that are then reflected
off the seabed and picked up again by the transducer.
This equipment is Echo-Sounder that satisfies the IMO (International Maritime Organization) performance
standards.

Chapter 4 Gate Valve Transducer installing

This equipment measures water depth by using the ultrasonic wave.


The ultrasonic wave causes attenuation and diffusion when the influence of the bubble is received, and cannot measure
an accurate water depth. Install the transducer in the place where the bubble is not generated when sailing.

Note:
When installing NKF-394/396 gate valve, use this installation manual.
When installing G-002758/G-002761/G-002763/ G-008791/G-002759/G-002760/G-002762/G-008792 series gate valve

(1) Assembling an Ethernet cable (RJ-45 type connecter)

 Assemble outside Sheath of an Ethernet cable


Cut off outside sheath except for inner LAN Cable at
the cable let-in hole.
Only shielding wire needs to leave length to a chassis.

Wire an inner LAN cable with sheath into Radar.

 How to Assemble an Ethernet Connector

Let the Ethernet cable pass through the cable boot.

Measure the length of the cable sheath that is to be


peeled.
* The rough standard is the length of your thumb
(about 5 to 6 cm).

Make a cut in the sheath by a wire stripper.


If Cut the sheath by a cutter, be careful not to damage
the foil inside.
* Do not rotate the stripper over 360 degrees.

115
Check by bending the cable that the foil inside is not
damaged. If the foil inside is damaged, cut the cable
there and go back to the step 2 again.

Failure example

[Failure example]
The foil is torn and the core wires inside can be seen.

Cut the sheath by a cutter vertically from the cut line


made by the stripper in the procedure 3.
* Do not damage the foil inside.

Twist the cable to split off the sheath. Peel the sheath
along the cut lines made by the stripper and the cutter.

Check that the foil is not damaged after the sheath is


peeled.
* The foil is OK if it is not torn by the pull of the arrow
direction shown in the left figure.

116
Fold back the foil and roll it up around the cable.
* The blue surface of the foil must be touched to
the sheath.

As the same way, fold back the drain wire to attach to the
sheath.

Cut off the vinyl covering the core wires by scissors.


* Cut the vinyl off at the bottom-most of the bare core wires
for not blocking the connector to put in.

117
Untwist the core wires and straighten each wire.

After straightening, arrange the core wires so that the


wires are aligned in the wiring order.
* Above picture shows the order of “Wiring A.”

Cut off the core wires at about 16 mm from the sheath.
* First, cut them 1 to 3 mm longer. Then, adjust by
inserting the connector.

Insert the core wires into the STP connector. Check


that the leading edges of the wires reach to the
connector edge.
* Also check that the foil and the drain wire are
touched to the metal part inside the connector.

A pin number is 1 to 8 in an order from the left.

There are following two patterns of wiring.
●Pattern1:Using NBA-5143

Note:
-The power cable CFQ-5766A can be used together with the depth data input cable.
-It is not necessary to use CFQ-5767 (CFQ-5767 also can be used to enter depth data).

●Pattern2:Not using NBA-5143

Note:
-The power cable CFQ-5766A cannot be used together with the depth data input cable.
-Be sure to use CFQ-5767 for depth data input.
-In case of battery series connection, don’t connect to midpoint between each battery. The case has possibility
that the fuse may blow out.
-In case that the ship’s common battery is grounded to the plus pole, don’t contact a cable(GND) to FG terminal
of the NWZ-4610 remote display.
*When it is difficult to make a countermeasure of the battery, use pattern 1 for wiring.

White-Earth 10MΩ or more Ω Good・No
Black-Earth 10MΩ or more Ω Good・No
Shield-Earth 10MΩ or more Ω Good・No

3) When the insulation resistance is 10MΩ or more, the transducer insulation is normal. When the insulation resistance is
less than 10MΩ, the transducer insulation is deteriorating. Replace the cable during drydock.

4) Go ahead the next the extension cable resistance measurement under keeping to disconnect the transducer cable.
*Note: Discharge by shorting between white and black terminal due to remaining charge in transducer after measuring with
the insulation tester.

161
(2) Measurement of insulation resistance for the extension cable
1) Disconnect the extension cable from terminal of the echo sounder and the junction box. Refer to the “9.4 Matching box

3) When the insulation resistance is 10MΩ or more, the transducer insulation is normal. When the insulation resistance is
less than 10MΩ, the transducer insulation is deteriorating. Replace the cable during drydock.

162
(Step 4) To check that the extension cable is broken, connect the white-black on one side of the extension cable and
check with a tester that it conducts on the other side. When it does not, the extension cable is broken. Repair the
broken part or re-lay a good cable. Also, When the resistance is high, it may be broken, or an improperly thin
cable may be used. Replace it with an appropriate extension cable. Our specified cable is 0.6 / 1kV DPYCS-2.5
and the conductor resistance is about 7.5 Ω/km (Normal cross-sectional are 2.5mm2). For example, when the
extension cable is 100m, the conductor resistance of 200m reciprocating is measured, so it is about 1.5Ω.
In the case of a cable with a nominal cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm, the conductor resistance is about 12 Ω/km,
which is about 1,6 times larger. However, when measuring a small resistance value, the error will be large, so
check the conductor thickness of the cable and the model name stamp of the cable to make a judgment.

11.1.2 Checking of a resonance frequency of the transducer
There are two methods, one is to measure the resonance point using a transducer checker such as TT-2 or TT-2D, and the
other is to use an antenna analyzer AA-30.
Make sure to check the resonance frequency of the transducer one of the measurement methods.

(1) Checking a resonance frequency with transducer cheker (TT-2/TT-2D)


1) Remove the transducer cable from the terminal of the matching box. To remove the cable, refer to the “9.4 Matching box
Wring”.

cable cable

2) Refer to the instruction manual of the transducer checker, check the operation method.
3) According to the instructions of the instruction manual, confirm that the battery voltage is more than the specified voltage.
4) Measure a resonance frequency. Though mention in the instruction manual, to measure 50 kHz and 200 kHz of the echo
sounder frequency, measure the range from 20kHz to 250kHz since there are normally several resonance points.
5) Measure impedance at the main resonance point by adjusting knob of the Z OUT.
Measure example1: 50kHz transducer on dry dock (Air), UT50MD-40

52 kHz/ 300 ohm 70 kHz/ 100 ohm 190 kHz/ 30 ohm 210 kHz/ 80 ohm

164
4 resonance points were Measured. Which is difficult to judge the main resonance point, when there is a resonance
point in the 50kHz ±5kHz range, it is judged to be normal as a 50kHz transducer.

Measurement example 2: 200kHz transducer on dry dock (Air), UT200ND-20

37 kHz/ 600 ohm 200 kHz/ 50 ohm

2 resonance points were Measured. The main resonance point is 200 kHz and it is judged to be normal.

165
(2) Checking of a resonance frequency with antenna analyzer (AA-30)
1) Remove the transducer cable from the terminal of the matching box. To remove the cable, refer to the “9.4 Matching box
Wring”.

2) Refer to the instruction manual of the antenna analyzer, check the operation method.
*Note: The AA-30 cannot withstand high voltage input. Transducer for discharge before connecting the transducer cable.
Short the cable between white and black.
3) Connect measurement terminal of the antenna analyzer to the white (+) and black (-) of the transducer cable.

166
4) Measure by setting the antenna analyzer to “4:Scan SWR”.

2: SetFreq : 200kHz
3: Set Range: 200kHz (Since the minimum frequency of AA-30 is up to 100kHz, measure with a resonance wave
meter that is 4 times 50kHz. Therefore, the sub-resonance point may be displayed in the
measurement of 50kHz, but it is not included in the measurement.)
5) Measure toward higher frequencies. The dip point (Frequency with minimum SWR level) is resonance point.
When there are multiple resonance points, up to two resonance points are OK as long as they are within the specified
frequency. For example, in the case of 200kHz, it is OK even if there are two resonance points within 200kHz ± 10kHz.

the order of this sentence in the message, minimum value 1. These cannot be null fields. When the sentence number
is 2, the following Alert category, Alert priority and Alert state can be null fields.
2) The sequential message identifier relates all sentences that belong to a group of multiple sentences (i.e. message).
Multiple sentences with the same sequential message identifier, make up one message.
3) Time should represent the last time the data within the alert message has changed. For example changing the alert
text by in-/decrementing a contained counter or count down should cause a revision of alert message and a new time.
Time is an optional field. The time-field is additional information about when this happened and not used for decision
making. There is no mandatory requirement for time synchronization between the equipment. It should by either a null
field (if not used) or UTC (if used). Sender is allowed to use all alternatives defined in Table 5 Field type summary.
Receiver is allowed to ignore content of this field. If the receiver does not ignore this field it should support all
alternatives defined in Table 5 Field type summary.
4) The alert category is in compliance with the category definition as described in INS Performance Standard (IMO
MSC.252(83)) and Bridge Alert Management Performance Standard (IMO MSC.302(87)):
A, Category A: Alerts where information at operator unit directly assigned to the function generating the alert is
necessary, as decision support for the evaluation of the alert-related condition, e.g. graphical information
of danger of collision or graphical information of danger of grounding.
B, Category B: Alerts where no additional information for decision support is necessary besides the information which
can be presented using alert source and alert description text.
C, Category C: Alerts that cannot be acknowledged on the bridge but for which information is required about the status
and treatment of the alerts, e.g., certain alerts from the engine.
5) Alert priority: Emergency Alarm: E, for use with Bridge alert management
Alarm: A
Warning: W
Caution: C
6) The alert state transition is defined in IEC 61924-2:2012, Annex J
active – unacknowledged: V
active – silenced: S
active – acknowledged or active: A
active – responsibility transferred: O
rectified – unacknowledged: U
normal: N
7) Used for proprietary alerts defined by the manufacturer. For standardized alerts this should be a null field.
8) The alert identifier is unique within a single alert source. The alert identifier is a variable length integer field of maximum
a 7-digit integer. It identifies the type of the alert, e.g. a “lost target” alert. Standardized alerts use unique alert identifiers
described in equipment standards. Number range 10000-9999999 is reserved for proprietary alerts. Alert Identifier
examples: “001”, “2456789”, “245”
9) The alert instance identifies the current instance of an alert to distinguish alerts of the same type (Alert identifier) and
from the same source (e.g. dangerous target). Alert instance is maximum a 6-digit integer from 1 to 999999, the
number ‘0’ indicates that this sentence is intended for all alert instances. Except for number ‘0’, the number of alert
instance can be freely defined by the manufacturer as long as it is unique for one type of alert (alert identifier). It is not
permitted to modify the alert instance within a life cycle of a distributed alert (from ‘active and unacknowledged’ state
until ‘normal’ state is reached). It can be also a null field, when there is only one alert of that type.
10) The revision counter is the main method to follow up-to-date status. Revision counter is also unique for each instance
of alert. Revision counter starts with 1 and the step for increment is 1. The count resets to 1 after 99 is used. Revision
counter increments on each change of content of any field of the alert.

182
11) The escalation counter is presenting the number of alert escalations after time expiration during the state active-
unacknowledged. The escalation counter starts with 0 and the step for increment is 1. The count resets to 1 after 9 is
used. The alert escalation can be the escalation from warning into warning (activation of audible signal only), the
escalation from warning to alarm or the escalation from alarm to alarm with activation of backup navigator alarm.
12) This field is used for Alert title which is mandatory and for additional alert description which is optional.
• The first ALF sentence transmits the Alert title. Alert title is maximum 16 characters short form of the alert text.
• The optional second ALF sentence transmits the additional alert description. Additional alert description is the long
description of the alert. The additional alert description contains more information for decision making (i.e. alert
description text).
• The second ALF sentence uses null fields for Time of last change, Alert category, Alert priority, and Alert state to allow
longer text. The actual number of valid characters should be such that the total number of characters in a sentence
does not exceed the “82”-character limit.
• Some equipment standards specify alert text longer than 16 characters (for example the AIS standard has defined
some alerts to be coded with ALR sentence and with text longer than 16 characters). In such cases the first ALF
sentence is used for the first 16 characters of the alert text as alert title and the second ALF sentence to carry the full
alert text.

5: Refused alert command, A, Q, O or S 5)
Note;
1) Release time of the Alert Command Refused. (e.g. for VDR purposes), optional, can be a null field. Sender is allowed
to use all alternatives defined in Table 5 Field type summary. Receiver is allowed to ignore content of this field. If
receiver does not ignore this field it should support all alternatives defined in Table 5 Field type summary.
2) Used for proprietary alerts defined by the manufacturer. For standardized alerts this should be a null field.
3) The alert identifier is unique within a single alert source. The alert identifier is a variable length Integer field of maximum
a 7-digit integer. It identifies the type of the alert, e.g. a “lost target” alert. Standardized alerts use unique alert identifiers
described in equipment standards. Number range 10000-9999999 is reserved for proprietary alerts. Alert Identifier
examples: “001”, “2456789”, “245”
4) The alert instance identifies the current instance of an alert to distinguish alerts of the same type (Alert identifier) and
from the same source (e.g. dangerous target). Alert instance is maximum a 6-digit integer from 1 to 999999. The
number of alert instance can be freely defined by the manufacturer as long as it is unique for one type of alert (alert
identifier). It is not permitted to modify the alert instance within a life cycle of a distributed alert (from ‘active and
unacknowledged’ state until ‘normal’ state is reached). It can be also a null field, when there is only one alert of that
type.
5) Refused Alert Command: Indicates refused “Alert command” of corresponding ACN sentence. This should not be a
null field.

2) Positioning system mode Indicator:
A = Autonomous. Satellite system used in non-differential mode in position fix;
D = Differential. Satellite system used in differential mode in position fix;
E = Estimated (dead reckoning) mode;
F = Float RTK. Satellite system used in real time kinematic mode with floating integers;
M = Manual input mode;
N = No fix. Satellite system not used in position fix, or fix not valid;

satellite system used in multi-frequency, SBAS or Precise Point Positioning (PPP) mode;
R = Real time kinematic. Satellite system used in RTK mode with fixed integers;
S = Simulator mode.
3) The positioning system mode indicator field supplements the positioning system status field. The status field should be

Precise and R = Real time kinematic. The positioning system mode indicator and status fields should not be null fields.
4) The navigational status indicator is according to IEC 61108 requirements on ‘Navigational (or Failure) warnings and
status indications’. This field should not be a NULL field and the character should take one of the following values:
S = Safe when the estimated positioning accuracy (95 % confidence) is within the selected accuracy level
corresponding to the actual navigation mode, and/or integrity is available and within the requirements for the
actual navigation mode, and/or a new valid position has been calculated within 1 s for a conventional craft and
0,5 s for a high speed craft.
C = Caution when integrity is not available.
U = Unsafe when the estimated positioning accuracy (95 % confidence) is less than the selected accuracy level
corresponding to the actual navigation mode, and/or integrity is available but exceeds the requirements for the
actual navigation mode, and/or a new valid position has not been calculated within 1 s for a conventional craft
and 0,5 s for a high speed craft.V = Navigational status not valid, equipment is not providing navigational status
indication.

The GPS quality indicator field should not be a null field.
0 = fix not available or invalid
1 = GPS SPS mode
2 = differential GPS, SPS mode
8 = Simulator mode
2) Time in seconds since last SC104 type 1 or 9 update, null field when DGPS is not used.

Note;
1)Local time zone is the magnitude of hours plus the magnitude of minutes added, with the sign of local zone
hours, to local time to obtain UTC. Local zone is generally negative for East longitudes with local exceptions
near the international date line.
Example: At Chatham Is. (New Zealand) at 1230 (noon) local time on June 10, 1995:
$GPZDA,234500,09,06,1995,-12,45*6C<CR><LF>

3: Alert Identifier 3)
4: Alert Instance, 1 to 999999 4)
5: Alert command, A, Q, O or S 5)
6: Sentence status flag 6)
Note;
1) Release time of the alert command. (e.g. for VDR purposes), optional can be a null field. Sender is allowed to
use all alternatives defined in Table 5 Field type summary. Receiver is allowed to ignore content of this field. If
receiver does not ignore this field it should support all alternatives defined in Table 5 Field type summary.
2) Used for proprietary alerts defined by the manufacturer. For standardized alerts this should be a null field.
3) The alert identifier is unique within a single alert source. The alert identifier is a variable length integer field of
maximum 7-digit integer. It identifies the type of the alert, e.g. a “lost target” alert. Standardized alerts use
unique alert identifiers described in equipment standards. Number range 10000-9999999 is reserved for
proprietary alerts and number ‘0’ is reserved for a command request to all alerts (e.g. alert command Q
requests transmission of all alert states). Alert Identifier examples: “001”, “2456789”, “245”
4) The alert instance identifies the current instance of an alert to distinguish alerts of the same type (Alert identifier)
and from the same source (e.g. dangerous target). Alert instance is maximum a 6-digit integer from 1 to
999999, the number ‘0’ indicates that the command is intended for all alert instances. Except for number ‘0’,
the number of alert instance can be freely defined by the manufacturer as long as it is unique for one type of
alert (alert identifier). It is not permitted to modify the alert instance within a life cycle of a distributed alert (from
‘active and unacknowledged’ state until ‘normal’ state is reached). It can be also a null field, when there is only
one alert of that type.
5) This should not be a null field
acknowledge: A
request / repeat information: Q
responsibility transfer: O
silence: S
6) This field should be “C” and should not be a null field. This field indicates a command. A sentence without “C”is
not a command.

7) ACK – Acknowledge alarm(Legacy Alert sentence)


$--ACK,xxx*hh<CR><LF>
