5 minutes long alignment phase. Heave initialization occurs at each OCTANS 3000 powering on or soft restart. It is performed in parallel with the OCTANS 3000 alignment phase, but it is time set to 5 addi- tional minutes. - Page 5 The Control Pages opens: During the first seconds the IXSEA logo is flashing grey-blue indicating that the Web-based User Interface is loading the internal configuration of OCTANS 3000.

• Figure 3 - Ethernet connector The dimensions of the OCTANS 3000 housing are ((l x Ø) in mm ):374 x 213. There must be enough place for the wire • way on the connector side of OCTANS 3000. - Page 12 Configuring the Inputs/Outputs OCTANS 3000 has to know the latitude of its location in order to find geographical North rapidly. Accuracy required on the latitude input depends on the current latitude: 3 degrees accuracy on latitude at 45 degrees latitude, and 1 degree Up to five inputs/outputs are available: A, B, C, D and E.
- Page 13 Procedure for Configuring the Inputs Procedure for Configuring the Outputs Step Action Step Action Select INPUTS option under INSTALLATION menu. Select OUTPUTS option under INSTALLATION menu. The Input Settings page displays: The Output Settings page displays: Select the input port to configure (Input A, Input B, Input C, Input D or Input E) by clicking on the correspon- ding text label.

OCTANS 3000 Reference Frame and Vessel Frame Not Aligned OCTANS 3000 measures heading and attitude with respect to its reference frame defined by the 3 axes X1, X2 and X3 (see Figure 2). OCTANS 3000 reference frame may not be parallel to the vessel reference frame. In such case, heading and attitude outputs can be compensated for angular misalignments of OCTANS 3000 relative to the vessel reference frame so that OCTANS 3000 outputs heading and attitude of the vessel. - Page 15 (LV1, LV2, LV3) defining the position of external monitoring point M with respect to OCTANS 3000 center of measurement P (defined in Figure 2) in the vessel reference frame (XV1, XV2, XV3) - see Figure 5.
