A functional test is done with the CS90 system assembled as a complete product. Prerequisites The CS90 has been set up with its hardware units connected as specified in the CS90 Installation manual. • The CS90 system is turned on and operates normally.
BITE and verification of the CS90 hardware components. Prerequisites The CS90 has been set up with its hardware units connected as specified in the CS90 Installation manual. • The CS90 system is turned on and operates normally. • The CS90 is in Normal mode, but is set to Off to prevent transmissions.

(Built-In Test Equipment) functionality, you can easily determine BITE if the CS90 hardware is operational. And most important, you can make sure that all the transceivers channels and the transducer elements are functional. To open the different pages in the (Built-In Test Equipment) dialog box, use the large "buttons"...
Page 37
Select to open the page. Transducer page presents all the elements that are used in the CS90 transducer. Transducer The presentation attempts to organize the elements in the same manner as in the physical transducer. The transceiver boards are shown as "buttons". Select a transceiver board to highlight the elements that are physically connected to the board.
Page 38
If faulty channels are grouped together on the transducer face, this may cause a visible defect in the CS90 presentation. If they are scattered, the visible defect may be a lot harder to see. In all cases, the echoes from the neighbouring channels cause an interpolation that will restore a lot of the degraded presentation.

Testing the CS90 operational functionality Result Requirements Results The maximum number of unserviceable elements is 5. Date and signature: Further requirements If the noise level is higher than specified, you must check the reason(s) for this. • Check the grounding of the Transceiver Unit.
Prerequisites This procedure assumes that: • The sensor is connected to the CS90. It is switched on and in normal operation. • The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters. • You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
Page 41
The properties of each of the available communication ports are defined on the I/O Setup page. The page allows your CS90 to communicate with external Sensor Installation sensors and systems. To make sure that the information from the "most reliable" sensors are used by the CS90, use the page to define a datagram priorities.
Date and signature: Verifying the communication with speed log In order to operate correctly, the CS90 requires input from a speed log. The vessel speed is shown on the top bar if you have enabled this in the dialog box. The Display Options communication with the sensor is tested.

Verifying the installation parameters for the transducer Information from a few key sensors are vital for the CS90 accuracy. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, the physical locations of these sensors - normally referred to the Ship Origin - must be recorded in the CS90 setup.
Verifying the installation parameters for the global positioning system (GPS) antenna Information from a few key sensors are vital for the CS90 accuracy. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, the physical locations of these sensors - normally referred to the Ship Origin - must be recorded in the CS90 setup.
The physical location of the motion reference unit (MRU) relative to the transducer is required to allow the CS90 to adjust for roll and pitch as accurately as possible. This task is only applicable is you are using an external motion reference unit on your CS90.
Page 54
- and other GPS systems - allow you to define the MRU location in the positioning system. If this is done, the MRU offset values in the CS90 must be set to 0 (zero) to avoid "dual compensation". The rotation information is normally not recorded by the positioning system, and must therefore be defined in the CS90.

When this test procedure has been completed with all relevant signatures and applicable forms filled in, the document must be sent to the Simrad Support Department at Strandpromenaden 50, P.O.Box 111, 3191 Horten, Norway. Alternatively, scan all the pages to PDF using minimum 200 DPI resolution, and send the file to simrad.support@simrad.com.
Setting up the Operating Panel (Mk2) The Operating Panel offers all necessary control functions for normal operation of the CS90. Before it can be put to use, the Operating Panel must be configured to permit Ethernet communication between the panel and the Processor Unit.
Page 58
Simrad CS90 Harbour Acceptance Test To set up the Ethernet communication, you must define the IP address for the panel, and identify the Processor Unit in the panel software. These settings allow you to use more than one Operating Panel on the Processor Unit. You can also control more than one Processor Unit from a single Operating Panel.
Page 59
Write down the information. Close the window. Command Prompt Select the adapter that the Operating Panel is connected to. On the CS90, the Ethernet adapter is named Simrad Connect. Prepare the Operating Panel for use. Make the following preparations. Connect the power cable from the Operating Panel to the power outlet on the uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
