1. Introduction
1.1 Scope This document describes the procedure for installing the TWIRC System. The document is not ship specific and therefore does not specify the quantities of each unit or the area where the installation is to be made. These will be detailed in other documents normally prepared by the Weapons Project Manager (WPM). The Ship specific documents will also provide the installer with forms in order to record the serial number, date installed and any options selected for each of the items installed. This document only describes the planning and installation of the equipment and stops short of applying power to the equipment. The procedure for Setting to Work of the equipment is described in document reference EXAMPLE/032. The Document is split into 8 sections: 1. Introduction 2. Pre-Installation Planning 3. Fixed Unit Installation 4. Portable Unit Installation 5. Mobile Unit Installation 6. Co-Located Systems 7. Installation Tools 8.Typical Installation Records It is recommended that all sections are read prior to starting the installation or installation planning process. 1.2 System Description The Two Way Infra-Red Communication System is designed to allow the user to be mobile in an area and to maintain communication with other users of the TWIRC system and users of the Ships Communication system. Each TWIRC user will have a Headset & Mobile Unit which allows them to listen to other users using their earpiece and to speak to other users using their microphone. The power for the Headset & Mobile Unit will be provided by a small belt mounted battery pack on which will be mounted the user controls e.g. the Press to Speak key. The battery pack is designed to allow the user to operate in the TWIRC area for at least 4 hours without changing the battery pack (assuming a fully charged battery). The system consists a collection of Antenna mounted above head height in the designated area. The users Headset & Mobile Unit will communicate with the Antenna using Infra-Red signals in both directions. These Antenna are wired to a fixed Base Station which in turn is wired to the Ships Communication system.
Page 5 of 54
The infra-red communication to and from the Headset & Mobile Unit on any discrete system is not to any particular Antenna, therefore the user may be mobile in the area as long as the system maintains infra-red communication with the system. For this reason the Headset & Mobile Unit is designed such that the infra-red devices are located on the top of the unit.
Figure 1 - a typical "Man on the Move" equipment The above shows a typical Man on the Move equipment which consists of two units: the Headset & Mobile Unit and the Battery Pack. The TWIRC system is a digital communication system which allow the users access to up to 2 channels (Baseline System). The system is such that all users may hear the signal on the particular channel selected. In order to speak on one of the two channels the user must press the Press To Speak (PTS) key. Normal PTS discipline is necessary to ensure all users have access to the channels in order to speak. When the system is being used to communicate with the Ships Communication
Page 6 of 54
System the TWIRC system is provided with a users sidetone signal such that the signal from the user speaking is fed back to all users earpieces together with the incoming voice signal from the Ships Communication System Two systems are available the Baseline System and the Enhanced System. The Baseline system allows the user to communicate with other users on the TWIRC system and on the Ships Internal Communication System. The Enhanced System has all the facilities of the Baseline System but has the additional feature of being able to communicate with the Ships External Communication System.

2. Pre-Installation Planning The sites for the Base Station, Antenna, Auxiliary Power Supply and Battery Charger shall be identified and the routing of the cabling from the Base Station to the Antenna shall be planned. 2.1 Base Station Reference: 970306/206 Base Station (Baseline) General View 970306/207 Base Station (Enhanced) General View
The Base Station is a wall mounted unit. It shall be located in a convenient position for connection into the Ships Communication System, the Ships 24V dc supply and for connection to the Antenna system. If the system has more than 12 Antenna then refer to section 2.8 Auxiliary Power Supply. If the Base Station is one of pair used in a co-located system then refer to section 6 for additional requirements. All entry for cables into the enclosure are via glands. In order to achieve speedy replacement of the electronic components in the case of failure, all connections to the Base Station Electronics assembly are via plugs and/or sockets (including quick release terminals. For normal operation it is not necessary to gain access to the Base Station, however for initial installation, setting to work and fault based maintenance access should be possible. The planned location shall take account of this requirement. The unit shall be mounted vertically on a flat surface ensuring the there are no obstructions to the air flow past the finned heat sink on the rear of the unit. It is recommended that a space of at least 200mm is left above and below the unit. Maintenance may require access to the unit and therefore a clearance of 300mm shall be allowed in front of the unit to allow the door to be fully opened. When the maximum number of Antennas (12 per Base Station) with the maximum cable lengths the 24V Ships supply shall be able to supply up to 12A (at the minimum 18V specified for the 24V supply) and shall be fused at 15A. On systems with shorter cable lengths and less antenna the current will be significantly less. The following table defines some of the typical conditions together with the typical currents. Number of Antenna 12 12 6 6 Maximum Cable Length 400m 150m 150m 150m Supply Voltage 18V 18V 18V 24V Typical Current 7.5A 6.0A 3.0A 2.25A

2.2 Antenna Reference: 970306/205 Antenna General View 970306/209 Antenna - Long Cable General View
The Antenna should be located at a height above the deck of approximately 2.3m and be distributed in the area in order to give maximum coverage. Figure 8 and Figure 9 shows the typical area covered by 1 Antenna. Figure 10 shows how 4 Antenna give coverage of a complex area. Actual positions of the Antenna will need to be planned based on the size and shape of the area. Suitable fixing points will need to be identified and installed if necessary prior to the installation of the TWIRC system. The General View shows details of the fixing method. The Antenna should be located such that in the case of damage to the unit it may be removed completely and replaced with a spare Antenna. 2.3 Battery Charger Reference: 970306/208 Battery Charger General View
The Battery Charger is a portable unit which may be fixed to either a horizontal or vertical surface. The unit is used to recharge the batteries of the Battery Pack used for the Man on the Move equipment. The location chosen shall allow easy operation of the Battery Charger. The reference above shows the position of the Battery Pack, insertion and withdrawal of the Battery Packs should not be hindered by its position. The sketch below shows the typical boundaries. In addition a clearance of 25mm should be allowed for above the top surface.

For systems with up to 12 Antenna then the power cable will be connected to the two interfaces on the Base Station as shown in Figure 11. For over 12 Antenna then the power will be provided by Auxiliary Power supplies as required (12 Antenna per Auxiliary Power Supply). The majority of Antenna will have four cables connected to them. Two will be Data Cables and Two will be Power Cables. The exceptions are the last Antenna on the Data Bus which will only have one Data Cable and the last Antenna on the Power Buses which will only have one power cable. Each Base Station is provided with three interfaces for connecting the Antenna, one for data and two for power. The total length of the data cable, for all of the Antenna type 970306/209, shall not exceed 1000m. Each Antenna reduces the maximum data cable length by 8m. For an installation of between 1 and 6 Antenna then only one Antenna Power Cable Bus is needed. For an installation up to 12 Antenna then the power is connected by two buses on the Base Station, with up to 6 Antenna connected to each power cable. (See Figure 11). For over 12 Antenna then the Auxiliary Power supply will be needed. The cabling between Antenna and between the Base Station and the Antenna shall not have any intermediate connections. That is each cable section shall be of one piece of cable. 2.5 External Signal and Power Cables The following cables will be needed to be connected to the Base Station via the appropriate gland, plug and socket. 2.5.1 Power Input - 24V dc Reference: The recommended cable is NSN-6145 99 096 2821 970306/206 Base Station (Baseline) General View 970306/207 Base Station (Enhanced) General View 970306/210 Auxiliary Power Supply General View A 24V supply of up to 12A will be necessary to power the TWIRC system, with up to 12 Antenna, via the Base Station. The supply shall be fused at 15A. For larger systems each Auxiliary Power supply will require a supply of 12A fused at 15A.

The Auxiliary Power Supply is a Wall Mounted Enclosure with 4 fixing points identified in the reference above. The unit shall be mounted vertically on a flat surface ensuring the there are no obstructions to the air flow past the finned heat sink on the rear of the unit. It is recommended that a space of at least 200mm is left above and below the unit. Maintenance may require access to the unit and therefore a clearance of 300mm shall be allowed in front of the unit to allow the door to be fully opened. 3.4.2 Glands All cables enter the Auxiliary Power Supply enclosure via glands. The glands and cables are assembled as identified in the following sections. In order to maintain the moisture resistance of the enclosure it is essential that any hole in the enclosure not being used for a gland is fitted with an appropriate Blanking Plug. These Blanking Plugs will be supplied pre-fitted to the locations where glands are optional. Do not discard any blanking plugs that are removed, they may need to be fitted to the last Antenna on the data bus or power bus.

6. Co-Located Systems The installation procedures identified in sections 2 to 5 are for a system based on one Base Station providing the user with one internal communication channel. The TWIRC System allows for two systems to be co-located in the same area which gives the user two internal channels. The installation procedure for the second system is identical to the procedure for the first system. If one of the Systems is an Enhanced System (reference section 2.5.3) this system must be designated the Master in the setting to work procedure. The two Base Station should be mounted close to each other to allow the connection of port 6 on each system to be connected together using a cable length of no more than 2m. The cable to be used is identified in section 2.6.
