Cleaning the CyScan Sensor To maintain the CyScan Sensor in good working order it is important that both its casing and optical elements are kept free of contamination. To clean the casing and bellows: Use a sponge or cloth with warm water to wipe any sea spray or other contamination from the metal casing or the flexible bellows. -
Page 30: For Further Assistance
Troubleshooting For further assistance If you experience problems when installing or using the CyScan system, please check through this Troubleshooting section for a possible solution. If your problem is not listed here and you cannot resolve the issue, then please contact the system fitter or equipment provider who are trained to assist with installation and operation problems. -
Page 31: Sensor Rotates Slowly
• Check that the external supply voltage, supplied via the Power cable, to the sensor has not dropped below 18V. • Using CyScan Admin Console, check the reading given for the 24V Main on the System Status page. Also check the other supply voltage. These should be within 10% of their nominal values. -
Page 32: Alarm Codes
In addition a special category of leveller alarms in the code range 6xxx can occur in any of the four classifications above. These will signify events that are purely associated with the sensor rotor and leveller hardware and can provide clues about possible hardware faults.

Page 47: Mooring Point Reflectors - Installation And Definition
Mooring Point Reflectors - Installation and Definition Reflector types Two main types of reflectors are used with the CyScan system, flat and cylindrical. These are shown below: Flat reflectors Flat reflectors are generally attached using steel clips to rigid structures such as metal posts. -
Page 48: Reflector Installation
Reflector Installation Key to the operation of the CyScan system are correct installation of reflectors and accurate information about their positions on the Mooring Point/Vessel. Please follow the guidelines given below when installing target reflectors on the Mooring Point/Vessel. Once the reflectors are installed, their relative positions should ideally be measured (by theodolite using a fully qualified site surveyor) and declared to CyScan Console. -
Page 49: Defining Reflector Positions
• The direction in which each reflector faces must be declared to the CyScan Con- sole. All measurements are made using the direction of the reflector face relative to the direction of the A axis. -
Page 50: Reflector Positioning Examples
Reflector Positioning Examples These three pages provide examples of typical reflector layouts. Example 1 - Ship on Tanker’s Port side, CyScan on ship’s Starboard side Reflector Positions 1 A=0, B=0, orientation= 270 A=+52.52m, B=0, orientation= 270 A=+64.89m, B=0, orientation= 270... - Page 51 Example 2 - Ship on Tanker’s Starboard side, CyScan on ship’s Port side Reflector Positions 1 A=0, B=0, orientation=+90 A=+56.21m, B=0, orientation=+90 A=+42.51m, B=0, orientation=+90 * When auto-surveyed (Items shown in grey) Specifically, the auto-surveyed reflector positions would be: A=0, B=0, orientation=+270 A=13.7m, B=0, orientation=+270...
- Page 52 2 The reflector numbering should be chosen so that they form an anti-clockwise sequence when seen by CyScan. 3 If the reflector positions are in northings and eastings, CyScan gives the ship’s position in northings and eastings and gives the heading relative to true north.
