4 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
WARNING
During installation and commissioning of the
GMDSS Interface, the Safety Guidelines &
Measures are applicable at all times. See
chapter 2 of this manual.
4.1

THINGS YOU NEED

Make sure you have all the parts you need to install the
GMDSS Interface:
Materials:
The GMDSS Interface (included);
A 500Amp/50mV shunt (included) for the current
measurement of the battery bank;
A 6-wire modular communications cable (RJ12, cross
wired) to connect the GMDSS-interface to the Mass
series battery charger;
2x0.25mm² twisted pair wire, long enough to reach
from the shunt to the GMDSS Interface;
Wires 0.25mm² for voltage sensing of the battery bank
and for the DC power supply of the GMDSS Interface
Fuse holders with 2 A-T fuses to be integrated in the
voltage sensing lines and the DC power supply;
As short as possible heavy duty battery cable,
finished with cable lugs, to run from the minus pole of
the battery to the shunt. Cable thickness must be in
accordance with the electrical installation. Refer to the
installation manual of the Mass Battery charger for
recommendations on DC-wiring;
We recommend as a minimum tool kit:
A saw to make a cut-out in the instrument panel (part
nos. 70400050 and 70400060 only);
A wire cutter / stripper;
A crimping tool for cable terminals;
A cross-head screw driver;
2 mm and 5 mm flat blade screwdrivers.
A complete set of spanners, pliers and wrenches may be
helpful during the installation of the GMDSS Interface

DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Obey the following stipulations during installation:
•
The GMDSS-Interface is designed for indoor use only;
•
Ambient temperature: 0 ... 60°C / 32°F ... 140°F;
•
Humidity: 0-95% non condensing;
•
The GMDSS Interface can be mounted into the
enclosure of the Mastervolt Mass series battery
charger or as remote panel (refer to specifications for
ordering information);
•
Do not install the GMDSS Interface straight above the
batteries because of possible corrosive sulphur fumes;
•
According to the regulations for GMDSS systems the
panel must be installed at a position which is visible
from where the ship is normally navigated;
•
For good visibility avoid installing the GMDSS Interface
in direct sunlight;
•
The audible alarm and LED indicators, voltage and
current meters can be powered by an independent DC
power supply with operating voltage ranging from 8 to
32 VDC;
•
Keep all wires as short as possible;
•
Keep the voltage and current sensing wiring away from
other noise producing conductors;
•
Take adequate measures to avoid corrosion of the
wires and connections.
