General guidelines

Warning Kongsberg Maritime AS accepts no responsibility

for any damage or injury to the system, ship or
personnel caused by drawings, instructions and
procedures not prepared by Kongsberg Maritime.

Training courses are available from Kongsberg Maritime AS.

Installation
The guidelines for installation presented in this manual must be
regarded as a base for detailed plans prepared by the installation
shipyard. These plans must include drawings, instructions and
procedures specific to the ship in which the equipment is to be
installed. These drawings must be approved by the local
maritime classification society

Warning The installation instructions given in this

document must be followed. Failure to do so may
render the guarantee void.

Maintenance
The technical descriptions included in this manual are intended
to to be used by maintenance technician and/or engineer, with
experience of computer-based electronic circuitry. It is also
strongly recommended that the personnel are familiar with the
basic principles of hydroacoustic technology, and in particular,
positioning systems.
The maintenance personnel are expected to replace faulty Line
Replaceable Units (LRUs) (circuit boards or modules), but not
to perform circuit board repairs. In order to find the faulty
component, it is also expected that the maintenance personnel
have access to standard electronic instruments, such as
oscilloscopes and multimeters.

Note If your organization (or vessel) does not have the appropriate
personnel available, you are strongly advised to contact either
Kongsberg Maritime or your dealer for assistance.

 Introduction

Backup

General
You are advised to take backup of all operator stations at regular
intervals (1-3 months), and every time major changes has been
performed in configuration and /or user settings.

Software upgrade

Caution A system backup must be performed when the

software has been upgraded.

→ For backup procedures, refer to the Backup files document, doc

no 859-216300.

Supply conditions

Equipment responsibility
Upon receipt of the equipment the system owner or installation
shipyard automatically becomes fully responsible for the
equipment, unless otherwise stated in the contract. This
responsibility covers the storage period before installation, the
actual installation, commissioning, and the period between the
completion of the commissioning and the acceptance of the
equipment by the end user (normally the owner of the vessel or
platform into which the equipment is to be installed).

Project management

Project manager
Kongsberg Maritime AS will normally appoint a dedicated
project manager for the delivery project. The manager will
follow up the installation and delivery, and will be the
installation shipyard’s and end user’s point of contact.

Installation performed by Kongsberg Maritime

Kongsberg Maritime AS will assist during the installation if
specified in the contract or requested by the installation shipyard
or customer. Before any installation work by Kongsberg
Maritime AS can begin, all cables (at least those which are in
any way connected with the system) must be run and connected
to their respective terminations. These cables together with the
transducer installation will then be checked by the Kongsberg
Maritime AS engineers before they are used.
Depending upon the availability of electrical power either from
the generators on board or from ashore, the equipment related to
the system, and the various parts of the system will be tested
during the Setting to Work (STW) period. This requires that
interfaces to equipment delivered by other subcontractors are
ready for integration testing.
Delays may occur if any of the equipment related to the system
is not available for Kongsberg Maritime AS for testing. During
sea trials, the vessel must be at Kongsberg Maritime’s disposal
when required, even though we cannot be held responsible for
expenses relating to the running costs of the vessel.

 Introduction

After completion of the commissioning, the equipment should

be officially handed over to the end user and the appropriate
documents signed in accordance with the contract. All defects or
deviations from the contract must be specified in detail in these
documents. It should be noted that if such defects or deviations
are not specified, they cannot be used by any of the parties
concerned as valid reason for not signing the documents.

Installation, supervision and

commissioning

Electrical and mechanical installation

The installation shipyard is normally responsible for the
installation of the entire system. In addition, the shipyard is
responsible for providing and connecting all cables other than
special cables supplied with the equipment. The actual
installation and cable laying must comply with the vessel’s
classification rules and the recommendations given in this
manual.
During the installation period, the equipment must be covered in
such a way that it is protected from dust, paint spray/splashes
and welding/cutting sparks. Precautions must be taken to ensure
that no part of the equipment is used as a work platform, or for
any other purpose for which it was not designed.

Note Any damage incurred during the installation period, even with a
Kongsberg Maritime AS representative present, is the
installation shipyard’s responsibility unless it can be proven that
the damage was due to production or material defects in the
equipment delivered by Kongsberg Maritime AS, or
irresponsibility by Kongsberg Maritime AS personnel.

Pre-commissioning and acceptance tests

Pre-commissioning and acceptance tests are conducted by
Kongsberg Maritime AS personnel.

Installation tests
The Kongsberg Maritime installation period (after shipyard
installation) is normally divided into three consecutive phases:
• The initial start-up and dock-side testing period. This period
is normally known as Setting-to-Work (STW).
• Dock-side commissioning under operational conditions. This
commissioning period is normally ended with a Harbour
Acceptance Test (HAT).
• Sea Acceptance Test (SAT) with final commissioning under
operational conditions at sea.
The extent of the tests is normally defined in the contract.
If required during a contractual test period, the shipyard must
provide assistance necessary for the rapid and efficient
completion of the work even when the work is to be performed
outside normal working hours. This requirement includes
assistance from subcontractors when applicable. Excessive
waiting time resulting from delays caused by the shipyard will
be charged to the shipyard.
HAT and SAT are performed according to Kongsberg Maritime
test procedures

Guarantee period
The guarantee period for the system (as specified in the
contract) normally begins as soon as acceptance documents have
been signed.

HiPAP system principles

General
The HiPAP system provides accurate positions of subsea targets
such as:
• Remotely Operated Vchicles (ROVs),
• towed bodies or
• fixed transponders.

HiPAP processing
• The HiPAP system determines the position of a subsea target
(transponder or responder) by controlling a narrow reception
beam towards its location. The system uses a digital
beam-former, which takes its input from all the transducer
elements.
• The system uses a number of wide fixed beams to generate
an approximate position for the target. Once this is achieved,
it uses data from all the elements on the hemisphere facing
the target to compute the narrow reception beam and
optimise the directional measurement.
• The range is measured by noting the time delay between
interrogation and reception. The system will control the beam
dynamically so it is always pointing towards the target. The
target may be moving, and the vessel itself is affected by
pitch, roll and yaw. Data from a roll/pitch sensor is used to
stabilise the beam for roll and pitch, while directional data
from a compass is input to the tracking algorithm to direct
the beam in the correct horizontal direction.
• The HiPAP transceiver can operate with up to 56
transponders simultaneously, and it uses the HPR 400
transponders channels.

HiPAP processing - LBL mode

Long Base Line (LBL) - This mode is similar to the HiPAP
processing, but the transceiver positions up to 8 LBL
transponders for each interrogation. Both ranges and directions
to the transponders are measured. The data is sent to the APC
1x.

14 857-164055 / R
 System description

HiPAP processing - telemetry

The unit transmits acoustic telemetry messages, and receives
and decodes the acoustic telemetry message from the
transponder. The data is sent to the APC 1x.
HiPAP processing - MULBL
Multi-User Long Base Line (MULBL) - In this mode the
transceiver continuously listen for replies from the transponder.
Each replay is detected, and directions and the time difference
between replies are sent to the APC 1x. The time differences are
the delta ranges that is used in the MULBL positioning
algorithm.
Dual HiPAP system
HiPAP is designed to operate with one or two sets of
transceivers/transducers, both operated from the same operator
station(s). The dual system uses both transducers to measure the
position of one single target (transponder/responder), by
controlling beam forming and directional measurement
separately for each system in parallel. This means that both
systems will measure and calculate a position for the same reply
pulse from the transponder.
→ Refer to figure on page 125.
For the dual configuration a synchronisation line between the
transceiver are required.
Benefits of a dual system:
• Accuracy
- The improvement factor from 1 to 2 transducers is 1 .
2
This is based on the statistical improvements when using
two independent systems. One transducer will give a
horizontal bearing accuracy of 0.3°, while two transducers
will give 0.2°.
• Redundancy
- The two transducers will normally be installed at different
locations onboard. One transducer may then have a better
location with respect to noise environments and reflections
than the other. The computed position will be a weighted
mean of these two measurements, if one of the systems
fails to receive a reply, the other system may still receive
it and the position will still be computed.
• Quality
- When two transducers are used, the system will check and
report if the positions from the two systems differ by more
than a pre set value. Information about the position quality
will also be available based on error ellipses.

GPS receiver signals

Signals from the GPS receiver is normally connected to the
APC 1x to give position and time information. This signal is a
serial data line, and a separate pulse called 1PPS is a pulse
coming every second to synch the clock information.
The 1PPS pulse can have different pulse length and polarity
from different suppliers of GPS receivers. To handle this
problem a 1PPS converter can be used.

GPS Input signal converter (1PPS converter)

If a GPS is connected to the system, a 1PPS converter is used.
The 1PPS converter is a separate box and is connected to the
APC 1x with a standard cable.

Transceiver unit principles

Introduction
The transceiver unit is a central part of the HiPAP system. It
contains the following:
• Electronic circuitry for the transmission of acoustic pulses.
• Amplifiers and filters for the reception of acoustic signals.
• Interfaces to external sensors, roll, pitch, course and heave.
• Serial line/ethernet link for communication with the Operator
Station.
The transceiver unit’s main navigation function is to interrogate
transponders and measure the ranges and directions to them.
It is interfaced to attitude sensors, and controls the triggering of up
to 4 responders. The transceiver can operate with one HiPAP
transducer. The unit outputs the transponder position to the 1x.

 System description

Transmission
The operator sets up the transmission parameters. This is done
using the APOS menu. These parameters are transferred to the
transceiver unit via the serial/ethernet line. The transceiver unit
generates the appropriate interrogation pulses, amplifies them to
the required strength, and sends them via the transducer cable to
the transducer. The transducer then transmits the pulses into the
water.
The transceiver unit also generates responder trigger pulses
which are sent to the responder(s) via an umbilical.

Reception
The transceiver unit receives the analogue signals from the
transducer. The signals are demodulated and analogue-to-digital
converted, and the digital signals are then converted to position
values. These are transferred on the serial/ethernet line to the
Operator Station.
Attitude sensors are interfaced to the transceiver unit to enable
the vessel’s attitude to be taken into account when calculating
the position data.

Navigation
The operator will select the active mode of operation. The
system will then automatically switch between the selected
mode and the other available modes as required.
In the SSBL mode, both the direction and the range to the
transponder are computed.
When a transponder is switched on by the operator, the
transceiver will commence interrogation using frequencies
corresponding to the applicable transponder channel. This is
done using the APOS menu.

MAINTENANCE

Overview
This section describes the basic maintenance routines for the
standard HiPAP units.

Before you start

Before you start performing any maintenance, the power
must be switched off, and it must be kept off while the
maintenance is being carried out.

Caution The maintenance engineer MUST wear a grounding

bracelet, which is securely connected to the vessel’s
ground, at all times when performing maintenance on
the units.

Preventive maintenance

Topside units
The preventive maintenance consists of keeping the units clean.
Use:
• Soft lint-free cloth
• Bucket
• Mild liquid detergent
Wet the cloth, then wring as much of the water out as possible.

Note Use only a damp cloth - so there is no possibility of water

dripping into the unit.

28 857-164055 / R
 Maintenance

Maintenance philosophy
General
The maintenance philosophy recommended by Kongsberg
Maritime is:
• On-board maintenance should be carried out by a
maintenance engineer, with the assistance of the operator.
The maintenance should include the following:
- Calibrations
- Simulations
- Functional tests
- Traditional troubleshooting based on a good knowledge of
the system.
• Replacement of faulty parts should be limited to the line
replaceable units (LRUs) recommended in the spare parts list.

Note To reduce the number of spare boards required, standard circuit

boards without software may be provided. In the event of a
replacement becoming necessary, the software on the faulty
circuit board must then be transferred to the new board. Any
links and switches on the new circuit board must also be set as
on the old board.

Whenever a faulty unit has been replaced, the unserviceable unit

should be sent to Kongsberg Maritime, or an appointed dealer,
for repair.

Error detection
If a fault is detected, the operator should call the maintenance
engineer at the earliest opportunity. The operator should be
issued with a standard procedure detailing how he/she is to
respond to system errors or faults. This procedure should
contain the following (as a minimum):
Whenever a error message appears:
• Write down the parameters currently set in the system.
• Write down a brief description of the actions currently being
carried out.
• Write down the commands being executed (if any) when the
error appeared.
• Write down the controls carried out (if any) when the error
message appeared.

857-164055 / R 29
HiPAP

• Write down any other information that might be valuable to

the maintenance engineer during troubleshooting. This also
includes events not directly connected to the system (for
example bad weather, excessive temperature in operations
room etc.).

Verification
The first action to be performed by the maintenance engineer on
receipt of a fault message must be fault verification. If the
system has been closed down, it should be powered up again
(unless the fault has caused serious damage to the system), and
an attempt made to make the fault reappear.
• Verify the fault during continued operation.

30 857-164055 / R
 Maintenance

Maintenance schedule
Maintenance routines must be performed regularly and
effectively to ensure that the equipment is kept in top condition.
The chart below states the maximum recommended intervals at
which the various routines should be performed - the intervals
should be decreased if the system is used excessively.

guidelines laid down by the vessel’s classification society.

If no such guidelines exist, Kongsberg Maritime recommends

that the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Report No. 80-P008,
“Guidelines for Installation and Proposal for Test of
Equipment” be used as a guide.

Cable gland assembly procedure

Purpose
Cable glands are used whenever a cable passes through a
water-tight bulkhead or into a cabinet, to seal the opening
through which the cable passes and to protect the cable from
abrasion on the edges of the hole. Follow the guidelines detailed
here when installing cables through cable glands.

Note There are many different types of cable gland on the market.
This procedure describes the types used (now and previously) as
standard in the units manufactured by Kongsberg Maritime. The
cable glands are not supplied with the system.

Even though the cabinets from Kongsberg Maritime may be

prepared for specific types, the installation shipyard will be
responsible for selecting cable gland types and installing them.

General procedure
1 Ensure all the cables to be connected are completely
isolated from any power sources.
- I.e. Switch off and remove the supply fuses from any
units or systems into which the cables are already
connected.
2 Select the cable to be connected into the cabinet, and
select the cable gland through which the cable is to pass.

Note A minimum of 5 cm (recommended 5 - 10 cm) of slack cable

must be allowed, both inside and outside the cabinet, when
installing cables. This is to allow for vibration damping,
maintenance and measurement errors. Always double-check
your measurements before taking any irreversible actions.

857-164055 / R 99
HiPAP

3 Depending on whether the cable has already been installed

in conduits, either.
a (installed) measure the maximum length of cable
required to reach from the final cable clip outside the
cabinet to the terminal blocks inside the cabinet, add 20
cm, then remove the excess cable,
or:
b (loose cable) measure the maximum length of wire
required to reach from the cable gland to the terminal
blocks inside the cabinet, add 20 cm. and mark the
cable.

Note The cable’s outer insulation will extend into the cable gland to a
point approximately 5 mm outside the outer surface of the
cabinet wall into which the cable gland is secured.

4 Taking care not to damage the screening, carefully remove

the outer insulation from the required cable length.
5 Leaving an appropriate length of the screen exposed from
the insulation, cut off the remainder.

Securing and terminating the cables

1 Referring to the wiring diagram and ensuring that there is
5 to 10 cm. slack cable inside the cabinet, prepare and
connect the cable cores to the appropriate terminals within
the cabinet.
2 Secure the cable within the cabinet using cable clips.
3 Check the terminal connections against the wiring diagram
to ensure they are correct.
Follow the same procedure for all the cables and cable glands.
Once all the cables have been fitted:
4 Check the cabinet to ensure all tools and rubbish are
removed, then close the cabinet door.
Once all the system cables are connected and checked:
5 Take the appropriate safety measures, then replace the
fuses and apply power to the system.
6 Perform a system test to ensure the installation has been
conducted successfully.

Basic cabling requirements

Cable trays
All permanently installed cables associated with the system
must be supported and protected along their entire lengths using
conduits and/or cable trays. The only exception to this rule is
over the final short distance (max. 0.5 metre) as the cables run
into the cabinets/units to which they are connected. These short
service loops are to allow the cabinets to move on their shock
mounts, and to allow maintenance and repair.
• Wherever possible, cable trays must be straight, accessible
and placed so as to avoid possible contamination by
condensation and dripping liquids (oil, etc.). They must be
installed away from sources of heat, and must be protected
against physical damage. Suitable shields must be provided
where cables are installed in the vicinity of heat sources.
• Unless it is absolutely unavoidable, cables should not be
installed across the vessel’s expansion joints. If the situation
is unavoidable, a loop of cable having a length proportional
to the possible expansion of the joint must be provided. The
minimum internal radius of the loop must be at least twelve
times the external diameter of the cable.
• Where a service requires duplicate supply lines, the cables
must follow separate paths through the vessel whenever
possible.
• Signal cables must not be installed in the same cable tray or
conduit as high-power cables.
• Cables containing insulation materials with different
maximum-rated conductor temperatures should not be
bunched together (that is, in a common clip, gland, conduit or
duct). When this is impractical, the cables must be carefully
arranged such that the maximum temperature expected in any
cable in the group is within the specifications of the
lowest-rated cable.
• Cables with protective coverings which may damage other
cables should not be grouped with other cables.
• Cables having a copper sheath or braiding must be installed
in such a way that galvanic corrosion by contact with other
metals is prevented.
• To allow for future expansion of the system, all cables should
be allocated spare conductor pairs. Also, space within the
vessel should be set aside for the installation of extra cables.

857-164055 / R 101
HiPAP

Radio Frequency interference

All cables that are to be permanently installed within 9 m
(30 ft) of any source of Radio Frequency (RF) interference such
as a transmitter aerial system or radio transmitters, must, unless
shielded by a metal deck or bulkhead, be adequately screened by
sheathing, braiding or other suitable material. In such a situation
flexible cables should be screened wherever possible.
It is important that cables, other than those supplying services to
the equipment installed in a radio room, are not installed
through a radio room, high power switch gear or other potential
sources of interference. Cables which must pass through a radio
room must be screened by a continuous metal conduit or
trunking which must be bonded to the screening of the radio
room at its points of entry and exit.
Physical protection
Cables exposed to the risk of physical damage must be enclosed
in a steel conduit or protected by a metal casing unless the
cable’s covering (e.g. armour or sheath) is sufficient to protect it
from the damage risk.
Cables exposed to an exceptional risk of mechanical damage
(for example in holds, storage-spaces and cargo-spaces) must be
protected by a suitable casing or conduit, even when armoured,
if the cable covering does not guarantee sufficient protection for
the cables.
Metallic materials used for the physical protection of cables
must be suitably protected against corrosion.
Grounding
Grounding connections should be made using a conductor which
has a cross-sectional area appropriate for the current rating of
the cable, or with a metal clamp which grips the metallic
covering of the cable and is bonded to the hull of the vessel.
These cable coverings may also be grounded by means of glands
specially intended for this purpose and designed to ensure a
good ground connection. The glands used must be firmly
attached to, and in good electrical contact with, a metal structure
grounded in accordance with these recommendations.
Electrical continuity must be ensured along the entire length of
all cable coverings, particularly at joints and splices. In no case
should the shielding of cables be used as the only means of
grounding cables or units.
Metallic casings, pipes and conduits must be grounded, and
when fitted with joints these must be mechanically and
electrically grounded locally.

102 857-164055 / R
 Cable layout and interconnections

Cable connections
All cable connections are shown on the applicable cable plan
and interconnection diagrams.
Where the cable plan shows cable connections outside an
equipment box outline, the connections are to be made to a plug
or socket which matches the plug or socket on that particular
item of equipment.
Where two cables are connected in series via a junction box or
terminal block, the screens of both cables must be connected
together but not grounded.

Cable terminations
Care must be taken to ensure that the correct terminations are
used for all cable conductors, especially those that are to be
connected to terminal blocks. In this case, crimped
sleeve-terminations must be fitted to prevent the conductor core
from fraying and making a bad connection with the terminal
block. It is also of the utmost importance that where crimped
terminations are used, the correct size of crimp and crimping
tool are used. In addition, each cable conductor must have a
minimum of 15 cm slack (service loop) left before its
termination is fitted.

Cable identification
Cable identification codes corresponding to the cable number
shown in the cable plan must be attached to each of the external
cables. These identification codes should be positioned on the
cable in such a way that they are readily visible after all panels
have been fitted. In addition, each cable conductor should be
marked with the terminal board number or socket to which it is
connected.

Transceiver unit cabling

General
The transceiver unit has two main connection points:
1 The transducer cable terminates in a plug, which is
connected into a socket on the left side (seen from the
front) of the transceiver unit.
2 All other cables to and from the transceiver unit enter the
unit through cable glands located in the bottom panel, and
the cables are then connected into terminal blocks located
in the base of the unit.

Caution Ensure that 10 cm of slack cable is provided outside the

cabinet to allow the cabinet to move on its shock
absorbers without damaging the cable.

Note At installation you are advised to have a “service loop”

(approximately 15 cm) of slack cable inside the cabinet for
maintenance purposes.

Transducer cable connection procedure

→ Refer to the Cable and interconnection section.
1 Remove the protective cover from the connector on the
cable.
2 Align the connector with the socket on the transceiver
unit, then carefully press the connector into the socket.
- Ensure the pins are not damaged.
3 Tighten the securing screws to hold the connector firmly
into the socket.

GPS Input signals connections

General
The signal from the GPS is normally a RS-232 serial line
transmitting NMEA serial data, and a TTL pulse once pr. second
to synchronise the APC 1x internal timing clock to the GPS
clock.
This connection is normally done as follows:
RS-232 Data Pin 2 COM APC 1x
I PPS Pulse* Pin 8 COM APC 1x
Ground ref. Pin 5 COM APC 1x
any COM port for RS-232 may be used.

Note *The IPPS pulse can have different pulse length and polarity
from different suppliers of GPS receivers, so the connection
described above will not always work. A IPPS converter can be
used to handle the problem.

IPPS Converter (option)

This converter passes the RS-232 Data through but shapes the
IPPS pulse to a fixed pulse length and converts it from TTL
level to RS-232 level.

(Cd5464)

Figure 46 IPPS converter connections

INTEGRATED OPERATION WITH KM’S

DYNAMIC POSITIONING (SDP) SYSTEM

Introduction
The operator console integrates a 21” monitor, a system
controller and a keyboard. The console is to be mounted on the
deck. The following configurations are available for a HiPAP
system:
• HiPAP system (APOS software) is implemented in the SDP
system controller.
• The HiPAP system controller APC 1x, is mounted separately
and connected to the console via cable.

Integrated operation with SDP

Note The implementation of the APOS software in the SDP is an

complex operation, and must be performed by Kongsberg
Maritime service personnel.

The integrated HiPAP/HPR 400 and SDP operation is available

as two different solutions.

HiPAP/HPR 400 and DP - one Operator

Station
The operator must select whether the HiPAP / HPR 400 or DP
shall be viewed and operated. This is eligible from the menu.
When the DP window is active, the HiPAP / HPR 400 can be
accessed from the menu selecting the HiPAP / HPR 400 view or
accessing a dialogue box for transponder operation. When the
HiPAP / HPR 400 window is active, the DP can be accessed
from the menu selecting DP view.

HiPAP/HPR 400 and DP - multiple

Operator Stations
When several operator stations are available, the operator can
view / operate the DP on one/several screen(s) and the HiPAP /

EQUIPMENT HANDLING

Overview
This section describes how to transport, pack and unpack, clean,
preserve and store electronic, electro-mechanical and
mechanical units supplied by Kongsberg Maritime AS.
The units may be supplied as spare parts, or as parts of a
delivery.

Transportation

General specifications
Unless otherwise stated in the accompanying documentation,
electronic, electro-mechanical and mechanical units supplied by
Kongsberg Maritime can be transported using all methods
approved for delicate equipment; (by road, rail, air or sea). The
units are to be transported in accordance with general or specific
instructions for the appropriate unit(s), using pallets, transport
cases, or carton boxes as appropriate.

Note Special local restrictions concerning air transportation may be

applied to units containing certain types of batteries. The units
should be checked and the regulations investigated by the
packer/shipper before the unit is dispatched.

Local transportation
All local transportation must be carried out according to the
same specifications as for the initial delivery. In general, all
units must be handled with care. The carton or case containing
the equipment must be kept dry at all times, and must be
sheltered from the weather. It must not be subjected to shocks,
excessive vibration or other rough handling.
The carton or case will normally be marked with text or symbols
indicating which way up it is to be placed. Follow any
instructions given and ensure the case is always placed with its
“top” uppermost.
The carton or case must not be used for any purpose for which it
was not intended (step, table, etc.), and in the absence of other
information, no other cartons or cases must be stacked on top of
it.

132 857-164055 / R
 Equipment handling

Lifting
A heavy crate will normally be marked with its weight, and the
weights of other cartons or crates will normally be entered on
the packing list.
• Always check the weight of a crate before attempting to lift
it.
• Always use lifting apparatus that is certified for the load.
Heavy units may be equipped with lifting lugs for transportation
by crane within the workshop or installation area. Before a crane
is used, check:
• The applicable weight certificate for the crane.
• The security of the lifting lugs.
Ensure that all available lifting lugs are used. Ensure the unit
remains under control during the operation to avoid damage to
the unit, equipment or personnel.
Heavy units may be transported using a fork-lift truck. Special
attention must then be paid to the position of the unit’s centre of
gravity. The units must be properly secured to the truck.

Initial preservation
Introduction
When a system, a unit or a spare part has been delivered to the
customer, it may be subject to long-time storage prior to
installation and use. During this storage period, certain
specifications must be met.
The equipment must be preserved and stored in such a way that
it does not constitute any danger to health, environment or
personal injury.
Specific specifications are presented below.
→ For further information about storage, refer to page 138.
→ For further information about re-packing, refer to page 141.
→ For further information about temperature protection, refer to
page 142.

Original packing crate

1 The equipment must be stored in its original transportation
crate.
2 Ensure that the units are clearly separated in the shelves
and that each unit is easily identifiable.
3 The crate must not be used for any purpose for which it
was not intended (eg. work platform etc.).

857-164055 / R 133
HiPAP

4 The crates must not be placed on top of each other, unless

specific markings permit this.
5 The crates must not be placed directly on a dirt-floor.
6 Do not open the crate for inspection unless special
circumstances permit so.
- “Special circumstances” may be suspected damage to
the crate and its content, or inspections by civil
authorities.
- If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report
stating the condition of the unit and actions taken.
Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence
if possible. Re-preserve the equipment.
- If the units are not damaged, check the humidity
absorbing material. If required, dry or replace the bags,
then repack the unit(s) according to the packing
instructions.
7 If the crate has been opened, make sure that is it closed
and sealed after the inspection.
- Use the original packing material as far as possible.
→ Refer to information on page 141.

Ambient temperature and humidity

1 The storage room/area must be dry, with a non-condensing
atmosphere. It must be free from corrosive agents.
2 The storage area’s mean temperature must not be lower
than -30° C, and not warmer than +70° C.
- If other limitations apply, the crates will be marked
accordingly.

Note Transducers must not be stored in temperatures below -20° C, or

higher than +60° C.

3 The crate must not be exposed to moisture from fluid

leakages.
4 The crate must not be exposed to direct sunlight or
excessive warmth from heaters.

Shock and vibration

1 The crate must not be subjected to excessive shock and

ESD precautions
→ Refer to the information on page 141.

134 857-164055 / R
 Equipment handling

Batteries
If the unit contains normal batteries, these may have been
disconnected/isolated before the unit was packed. These must
only be reconnected before the installation starts. Units
containing batteries are marked.

Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be

handled separately and with care. Such units are
marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such
batteries, open them or dispose of them by
incineration. Refer to the applicable product data
sheets.

Inspection and unpacking

Inspection
An inspection must be carried out immediately after the unit(s)
have arrived at their destination.
• Check all wooden or cardboard boxes, plastic bags and
pallets for physical damage. Look for signs of dropping,
immersion in water or other mishandling.
• If damage is detected externally, you will have to open the
packaging to check the contents.
- Request a representative of the carrier to be present while
the carton is opened, so any transportation damage can be
identified.
• If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report stating
the condition of the unit and actions taken. Describe the
damage and collect photographic evidence if possible. Send
the inspection report to Kongsberg Maritime as soon as
possible.
• If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing
material. If required, dry or replace the bags, then repack the
unit(s) according to the packing instructions.

857-164055 / R 135
HiPAP

General unpacking procedure

Normal precautions for the handling, transportation and storage
of fragile electronic equipment must be undertaken.

Note If the unit is not to be prepared for immediate use, you may
consider storing it unopened in its original packing material.
However, it may be useful to open the case to check its contents
for damage and retrieve any accompanying documentation.

• Check the carton before opening it to ensure it shows no

signs of dropping, immersion in water or other mishandling.
- If the carton shows signs of such damage, refer to the
paragraph covering Inspection on receipt.
• Place the carton on a stable work bench or on the floor with
the top of the carton uppermost.
• In the absence of other instructions, always open the top of
the carton first. The contents will normally have been
lowered into the carton from above, so this will usually be
the easiest route to follow.
- Care must be used when opening the carton to ensure the
contents are not damaged.

Caution Do not use a knife to open cardboard cartons - the

contents may lie close to the surface, and may be
damaged by the blade.

• If the carton has been closed using staples, remove the staples
from the carton as you open it. This will reduce the
possibilities of scratch injury to yourself and damage to the
contents.
• If a wooden crate has been closed using screws, always
remove them using a screw-driver. Do not attempt to prise
the lid off with a crow-bar or similar.
• Once the carton is open, carefully remove all loose packing
and insulation material. Check for manuals and other
documents that may have been added to the carton during
packing, and put these to one side. Check also for special
tools, door keys etc.

 Equipment handling

Electronic and electro-mechanical units

Caution Beware of the dangers of Electro-Static Discharge

(ESD) both to yourself and to the equipment, when
handling electronic units and components. Refer to the
precautions starting on page 141.

Electronic and electro-mechanical units will normally be

wrapped in a clear plastic bag. Lift the unit, in its bag, out of the
carton and place it in a stable position on the floor/work bench.
Inspect the unit for damage before opening the plastic bag.

Note Cables must never be used as carrying handles or lifting points.

Note Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the
board is to be used. If the board package is returned to the
manufacturers with the seal broken, the contents will be
assumed to have been used and the customer will be billed
accordingly.

Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit.
Open the unit and check inside. Remove any packing and
desiccant material that may be inside.
Mechanical units
Mechanical units may be heavy. Using a suitably certified lifting
apparatus, lift the unit out of the crate and place it in a stable
position on the floor/work bench.
Inspect the unit for damage and remove any packing material
that may be inside the unit.
Transducers
Transducers may be supplied mounted to a hull unit (if any), or
packed separately. Crates are normally identified by the order
number and the serial number.
The transducer face must be protected by a rigid, padded cover
(e.g. a wooden box lined with foam rubber) all the time it is
exposed to the risk of physical damage.

Note Once the units are unpacked, great care must be taken to ensure
that transducers and cabling are not exposed to any mechanical
stress. Never lift the transducers by the transducer cable.

857-164055 / R 137
HiPAP

Re-packing
If the unit is not to be installed immediately, re-pack it in its
original packing material to prevent damage in the intervening
period.
→ Refer to the information on page 141.

Storage
Pre-installation storage
The equipment should be stored in its original transportation
crate until ready for installation. The crate must not be used for
any purpose for which it was not intended (eg. work platform
etc.).
Once unpacked, the equipment must be kept in a dry, non
condensing atmosphere, free from corrosive agents and isolated
from sources of vibration.

Note Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the
board is to be used. If the board package is returned to the
manufacturers with the seal broken, the contents will be
assumed to have been used and the customer will be billed
accordingly.

The unit must be installed in its intended operating position as

soon as possible after unpacking.
If the unit contains normal batteries, these may have been
disconnected/isolated before the unit was packed. These must
then be reconnected during the installation procedure. Units
containing batteries are marked.

Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be

handled separately and with care. Such units are
marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such
batteries, open them or dispose of them by
incineration. Refer to the applicable product data
sheets.

After use storage

Introduction
If a unit is removed from its operating location and placed into
storage, it must be properly cleaned and prepared before
packing.

138 857-164055 / R
 Equipment handling

Cleaning cabinets
If a cabinet has been exposed to salt atmosphere while it was in
use, it must be thoroughly cleaned both internally and externally
to prevent corrosion.
• Wipe the cabinet externally using a damp cloth and a little
detergent. Do not use excessive amounts of water as the unit
may not be water tight. On completion, dry the unit
thoroughly.
• All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion, eg.
flaking/bubbling paint, stains etc. Damaged or suspect areas
must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the correct
preservation mediums for the unit. The mediums to be used
will usually be defined in the units’ maintenance manual.
• All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion, eg.
flaking/bubbling paint, stains etc. Damaged or suspect areas
must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the correct
preservation mediums for the unit.
• Open the unit, and using a vacuum cleaner, remove all dust
etc. from the unit. Great care must be taken to ensure the
circuit boards and modules are not damaged in the process.
Mechanical units
If a mechanical unit may have been exposed to a salt
atmosphere while it was in use, it must be thoroughly cleaned
both internally and externally to prevent corrosion.
• If the construction materials and type of unit permits, wash
the unit using a high-pressure hose and copious amounts of
fresh water.
Examples:
- The lower parts of hull units (outside the hull)
- Subsea units
• Ensure that all traces of mud and marine growth are removed.
Use a wooden or plastic scraper to remove persistent growth,
barnacles etc. On completion, dry the unit thoroughly.

Caution Do not use a high pressure hose in the vicinity of cables

or transducers. Do not use sharp or metal tools on a
transducer face.

• If the materials or type of unit prevents the use of a

high-pressure hose, wipe the unit using a cloth dampened
with water containing a little detergent.

857-164055 / R 139
HiPAP

Examples:
- The upper parts of hull units (inside the hull)
- Hydraulic systems
• Do not use excessive amounts of water as some components
on the unit may not be water tight. Wipe off the detergent
with a damp cloth, then dry the unit thoroughly.
• All surfaces must be inspected for signs of corrosion, eg.
flaking/bubbling paint, stains etc. Damaged or suspect areas
must be cleaned, prepared and preserved using the correct
preservation mediums. The mediums to be used will
normally be defined in the unit’s maintenance manual.

Cables
Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable
shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Kongsberg Maritime for
advice.

Internal batteries
If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during
storage. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period,
disconnect or remove all internal batteries.
A suitable piece of insulating material can be placed between
the battery and the electrical contacts to prevent electrical
discharge. The battery can then remain in the unit, reducing the
risk of it being misplaced during the storage period.

Caution Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be

handled separately and with care. Such units are
marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such
batteries, open them or dispose of them by
incineration. Refer to the applicable product data
sheets.

Dehumidifier
Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or
similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry as
possible.

Coatings
Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light
oil) before packing.

140 857-164055 / R
 Equipment handling

Re-packing
The unit should be stored and transported in its original packing
material and/or crate. In the event that this material is not
available, proceed as follows:
• Small units must be protected from damp by being placed
within a plastic bag at least 0.15 mm thick. An appropriate
quantity of desiccant material should be placed inside this
bag, and the bag sealed. The sealed unit must then be placed
in an appropriate carton or crate, and supported in the
container by appropriate shock-absorbing insulation
(polystyrene foam chips etc.).
• Large units must be placed in a suitable cardboard box or
wooden crate. The unit must be protected against physical
damage by means of shock-absorbing insulation mats. The
box must be clearly marked with its contents, and must be
stored in a dry and dust-free area.

ESD precautions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic
charge between two bodies at different electrostatic potentials,
caused either by direct contact or induction by an electrostatic
field.
The passing of a charge through an electronic device can cause
localised overheating, and it can also “puncture” insulating
layers within the structure of the device. This may deposit a
conductive residue of the vaporised metal on the device, and
thus create a short circuit. This may result in a catastrophic
failure, or degraded performance of the device.
ESD Protection during transport and storage
Sensitive electronic equipment must be transported and stored in
protective packing bags, boxes and cabinets. The equipment
must NOT be transported or stored close to strong electrostatic,
electro-magnetic or radioactive fields.
Unpacking and servicing ESD sensitive equipment
If it is necessary to open and touch the electronics inside the
boxes/cabinets, then the following precautions MUST be taken:
• The working area must be covered by an approved
conductive service mat that has a resistance of between 50kΩ
and 2 MΩ, and is connected directly to a reliable earth point
via its earthing cord.

857-164055 / R 141
HiPAP

• The service personnel involved must wear a wrist-band in

direct contact with the skin, connected to the service mat.
• Printed circuit boards and other components should be placed
on the conductive service mat during installation,
maintenance etc.

Caution If, for any reason, it is necessary to move the circuit

board or components from the conductive service mat,
they must be placed in an approved anti-static
transportation container (e.g. static shielding bag)
before transportation.

• During installation and servicing, all electrical equipment

(soldering irons, test equipment etc.) must be earthed.

Temperature protection
If the unit must be protected against extremes of temperature,
the carton/crate must be lined on all walls, base and lid with
5 cm thick polyurethane or polystyrene foam.
These units will be identified as delicate in the applicable
documentation.

The package must then be clearly marked:

Note Must not be transported or stored in temperatures
below -5 degrees Celsius.

Other units can normally be stored in temperatures

between -30° C and +70° C, refer to the system’s technical
specifications for details.
Transducers must not be stored in temperatures below -20° C
and above +60° C.

Warranty
The warranty on the slope of supply in 365 days from the
acceptance of the installation on board. Warranty does non cover
damage or defects coming from improper storing of the
equipment (i.e. cable damage by temperature oscillation, rusty
components, physical damage etc.)

 Test and alignment procedures

HIPAP / HPR 400

TEST AND ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES

Introduction
The procedures are valid for:
• High Precision Acoustic Positioning (HiPAP) systems
• Hydroacoustic Position Reference (HPR 400) systems

Purpose
After the installation has been performed and before the system
is brought into operation for the first time, a series of test and
alignment procedures must be carried out to confirm a correct
installation.
This document contains the instructions and procedures required
to ensure the system is installed correctly, is correctly set up and
is safe to switch on and use.

Test certificates
Once the testing engineer has performed or witnessed the
performance of a test or part of a test, he must sign on the test
certificate to certify that the unit or system has passed that
particular part of the procedure.

Procedures

Visual inspection of the cabling

Refer to the cable plans and interconnection diagrams, and
check all power and interconnection cables. Any locally fitted
plugs and connectors should also be checked to ensure the
correct types have been used for the specific locations.
(Sealed/spark-proof connectors in areas where flammable gasses
may accumulate, etc.)
• Ensure all cable connections have been made according to
the cable plan, and that all connections are tight and secure.
• Ensure all cables are correctly laid in conduits, or are
otherwise protected according to the regulations and
recommendations laid down by the vessel’s registration
authority.
• Ensure all protective covers are fastened correctly.

857-164055 / R 153
HiPAP

Cable connections and continuity

After the cable connections have been completed and the visual
inspection has been carried out, all the cable cores must be
checked for correct connection and continuity.
→ Refer to the cable plans and interconnection diagrams, and
check all inter-connection cables.
Any locally fitted plugs and connectors should also be checked
for shorts or open circuits. Ensure all cable connections have
been made according to the cable plan, and that all connections
are tight and secure.

Warning These checks must be completed before any

power is switched onto the system.

This check procedure will require pairs of engineers, equipped

with the appropriate cable plans and wiring diagrams, two-way
communication devices and tool kits. The “tester” will require
continuity test equipment, the assistant will require a suitable
shorting strap.

Note The exact resistance values will depend on the type and lengths
of the cables, and the units to which the cables are connected. If
in doubt, check with the manufacturers.

Follow the check procedure below for each cable core:

1 The test engineers should position themselves one at each
end of the cable to be checked.
2 Good communications must be established.
3 Ensure the cable to be tested is not connected to any
power source.
- If a cable terminates in a plug at the unit, the test will
be more easily conducted if the plug is disconnected
from the unit.
4 Select one pair of cable cores, and check that the cores are
connected to the correct terminals in the unit/plug.
5 The tester then connects his continuity tester to the two
terminals in question and checks the continuity.
- If a low resistance exists between the two cores, this
may indicate the cores are connected to circuits or units
with low internal resistance. If this is the case,
disconnect the cores from the terminal block and test
again. The resistance should be nearing 1 Ω - if so:

154 857-164055 / R
 Test and alignment procedures

6 The assistant then shorts the two cores together, and the
tester repeats the test. The Resistance should be
approximately 0Ω.
7 The assistant then removes the shorting strap, and the
resistance should go up to approximately 1 Ω again.
8 The tester then checks each core’s resistance to ground,
(this should be approximately 1 Ω depending on the
cable and unit(s)), and each core’s resistance to all the
other cores in the cable,
(this should be approximately 1 Ω).
9 Assuming the test results are correct, the cores must be
reconnected to the terminal block (if they had been
removed), and the terminals checked to ensure they are
correct and tight.
10 On completion, move on to the next pair of cores and
repeat the tests till the entire cable has been checked.

• Mounting of the system
• Functional test
• Interface test
• Acoustic functional test
• Offshore calibration of system for integrated navigation

Test certificates
Once the test engineer has performed or witnessed the
performance of the test or part of a test, he must sign the
appropriate field for each check, to certify that the unit or
system has passed the particular part of the procedure.
The use of these fields is optional, but we recommend that they
are properly filled in for future references.

Note If the test engineer is not satisfied with the standard of any part
of the installation, he must contact the personnel who performed
the installation, to have the work rectified and brought to the
required standards.

Alignment for integrated navigation

General
The purpose of the alignment is to define:
• The roll and pitch offsets between the roll and pitch sensor
and the HiPAP / HPR roll and pitch axis.
• The orientation offset between the heading reference
(SEAPATH- compass) and the HiPAP / HPR orientation.
• The horizontal and vertical offsets from the HiPAP / HPR
transducer and the DGPS antenna to the vessels reference
point.
Defining the horizontal and vertical transducer offsets and the
alignment of the heading reference is normally not a part of the
Kongsberg Maritime responsibility.
These steps must be repeated for each transducer.

Logistics
Safety - Not applicable.
Personnel - Kongsberg Maritime representative or surveyor to
operate the APOS computer and a Kongsberg Maritime service
engineer.
Vessel location - Along quay-side and at sea with water depth
from 100 m to 500 m.
References - Standard HiPAP / HPR documentation.
Special tools - DGPS or RTK DGPS.

Procedure

Along quay
Horizontal and vertical offset
The distances from the transducer(s) and GPS to the vessel’s
reference point, must be measured very accurately either from
the vessel’s drawing or from real life measurements. This has a
direct impact on the final position accuracy. The best way is
probably to use a survey company to measure this by use of
theodolite and fixed points. The accuracy of these measurements
should be less than 0.05 meters.
The offsets for the surface navigation systems antenna must be
determined in the same way.

• The APOS computer that takes the HiPAP / HPR position
and integrates this to the surface navigation system.
• The surface navigation must be a good DGPS or better, a
cinematic ”on the fly” DGPS. It is important that roll and
pitch compensation of the DGPS is properly done in the
APOS computer.
• A sound velocity profile must be taken and entered to the
system.

Roll / pitch / heading alignment

Water depth approximately 200 meters and a fixed transponder
at the seabed.
The following note only applies for the HPR system.

Note If the system has a narrow beam transducer the horizontal

distance vessel to transponder should be 1/3 of the water depth
and if a medium beam transducer is used it should be 1 times
the water depth.

The alignment correction is found by doing a ”4 point box in”.

Proceed as follows:

Note Alignment as described in the APOS on-line help.

 APOS LBL/MULBL Customer Acceptance Test

LBL / MULBL POSITIONING

CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE TEST

Introduction
This test procedure explains how to perform the Customer
Acceptance Test (CAT) for Long Base Line (LBL) positioning
and Multi-User LBL (MULBL) using the APOS OS program.
The test is performed using the High Precision Acoustic
Positioning (HiPAP 500 / HiPAP 350) or the Hydroacustic
Position Reference (HPR 408 / 418) systems.

Purpose
The Customer Acceptance Test (CAT) is performed to verify the
Long Base Line (LBL) or Multi-User LBL (MULBL) function
of the system. The test should be done in water depth of more
than 100 m.

Note The Multi-User LBL mode can only be tested if the APOS
operator station has the MULBL option installed, and the
transponders are capable of running the MULBL mode.

• A minimum of 3 transponders has to be deployed before this

test (for MULBL 4 transponders minimum). The radius of
the array should be adjusted with respect to water depth and
transponder type. This is to make sure the system is operating
within the defined beams of the transponders/transducers.
Use a complete sound velocity profile if possible.
- For MPT 331 transponders and /or narrow beam
transducer, the baseline should be approximately 25%
or less of the water depth, depending on the depth.
- For MPT 319 or MPT 339 transponders, the radius can
be from 25% of the water-depth and up to 1 x the water
depending on type of ship’s transducer.
• The radius should not exceed 300 m, even in deep waters.
• For baseline measurements, the transponders must have
line-of-sight between them.
• During this test, the vessel has to stay within the coverage
area of the transponders in the LBL array. Remember the
transducer offset when setting up the vessel before the test. It
is actually the transducer(s) that needs to be within the array.

857-164055 / R 179
HiPAP

• The result depends on:

- The array geometry
- Number of transponders in the array
- Calibration result
- Sound velocity data.

Important aspects

Operation area
The area the vessel need for manoeuvring defines the operation
area. This might also influence on the choice of transponder
type, number of transponders and array radius.

(Cd5931)

Figure 52 Example of operation area

• You must have a good coverage (contact) from the

transponders throughout your operation area.

Ships system / seabed footprint

General
The transducer footprint on the seabed is determined by the
system / transducer onboard. The figure below shows a narrow /
wide beam transducer coverage area for a HPR 400 system. The
narrow beam area is indicated by “N”, and the wide beam area
indicated by “N”+”W”.

(Cd5930)

Figure 53 Example of seabed footprints

HPR
HPR 418 systems with narrow/wide transducer (narrow beam
transducer) covers + 22.5° in narrow beam, and + 80° in wide
beam. Wide beam is more affected by noise than medium beam.

HiPAP
HiPAP 500 systems will cover + 100° from the vertical. The
HiPAP 500 will always make + 5° narrow beams within the
whole coverage area, since this is controlled electronically.
HiPAP 350 systems will cover + 60° from the vertical. The
HiPAP 350 will always make + 7° narrow beams within the
whole coverage area, since this is controlled electronically.

857-164055 / R 181

Transponder types / surface

The transponder footprint on the surface is dependent on the type of
transponder used. There are basically 2 types of LBL transponders.

beam during base line measurements.
• The opening angle (cone) for the vertical beam is ± 15°.
• The horizontal cone (doughnut) is ± 15°.

 APOS LBL/MULBL Customer Acceptance Test

Choosing the transponder type

In general, transponders with narrow beam transducers are more
powerful than transponders with wider transducers, but the
drawback is a reduced footprint on the surface.
Normally the water depth determines the type of transponder to
use.
1000 m – MPT 319 transponder is to be used if the ambient
noise level on the vessel is low. If the noise level is high, a MPT
339 or MPT 331/DuB might be used.
The MPT 331/Dub might restrict the operation.

Test certificates
Once the test engineer has performed or witnessed the
performance of the test or part of a test, he must sign the
appropriate field for each check, to certify that the unit or
system has passed the particular part of the procedure.
The use of these fields is optional, but we recommend that they
are properly filled in for future references.

Note If the test engineer is not satisfied with the results, he must
contact the personnel who performed the installation, to have
the work rectified and brought to the required standards.

Test procedure introduction

In all cases the step-by-step instructions must be followed if the
tests are to be trustworthy.
In order to verify that the LBL function works properly, the
following tests must be carried out:
• Run the “New LBL array wizard” to set up the LBL array
• Measure baselines in if positioning in multi-user LBL
(MULBL)
• Position the vessel using:
- Transceiver 1/TD 1
- Transceiver 1/TD 2
- Transceiver 2/TD 1
- Transceiver 2/TD 2
Follow the procedures and fill in the tables. Once the system has
been tested, sign the signature page (last page).
The test results will be:
OK When the test is done satisfactory.
FAIL If the test fails.
NA If the test is non-applicable.

Procedure overview
The following points give an overview of the main steps of the
LBL calibration and positioning procedures.
1 Deploy the transponders. Activate the transponders in
SSBL mode. Use the “New LBL array wizard” to calibrate
the array.
2 MuLBL: Tick “Continue with measure baselines”. For all
other applications remove the tick-mark.
3 Start LBL positioning. For HPR 400 systems, make sure
the position calculation is based on ranges only. For
HiPAP systems, use both ranges and angles.
4 Start “Runtime calibration”. Log 200 sets of data and
calculate. Update the LBL array.
5 Observe the vessel position in relation to the array. If
connected to a DP system, integrate the LBL position
during DP station-keeping. Verify that the LBL is accepted
by the DP system.
6 If the vessel is equipped with more than one
transducer/transceiver, repeat step 5 for all relevant
transducers/transceivers.
