AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 INTRODUCTION SMIDS uses two GEOLOG sensors (The GEOLOG is a satellite based replacement for a traditional ship's Dual Axis log. It gives speed over the ground in the direction of the bow, as well as lateral speed) to measure bow and stern ground speeds. SMIDS gives fore and aft and athwart ships speed at Bow and Stem.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 HOW IT WORKS The antenna with satellite sensors in rugged aluminium housing feed their data to the main unit. The main unit distributes raw data to the various displays, along with 24v power. GEOLOG and SMIDS use both GPS and GLONASS satellites, and the heading from the ships gyro.

AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SMIDS INSTALLATION NOTES MOUNTING THE MAIN UNIT If the door opens the “wrong way” it is possible to turn the chassis plate around to make it open the other way. The housing must be grounded. On a retrofit it may be convenient to mount the main unit chassis plate in the existing cabinet.
Page 29
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SMIDS DISPLAY Mount the display for best visibility and access. It should be mounted so that it can be viewed from most positions on the bridge, and with consideration against the bright sunlight. It should be within reach to be able to change the illumination level. Even with the anti-glare filter, direct light reflected off the screen can ruin its performance.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SMIDS SYSTEM TERMINATIONS The connector blocks lift off and may be refitted vertically or horizontally. The cables can be supported on the chassis plate using adhesive cable tie bases. The KW991 display units only require 10 watts. So miniature-screened cable is all that is required.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 OPERATIONAL CHECKS. SWITCH ON! Observe various LEDS flashing merrily in time with data. You can read the data on a PC at the various input connectors and data test points. Reading this data is essential in proving an installation or if you ask for any assistance.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 CHECKING THE SENSOR UNITS Again LEDs provide a rapid assessment of operation. Data 2 module flashes every few seconds. indicates data from the satellite receiver. It does not start flashing for some time after initialisation, and then flashes twice per second. indicates the raw data out to the main unit.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SCREEN ONE (NAVIGATOR'S HORIZONTAL DISPLAY) This is the STARTUP / STATUS screen for the Console and the Head-up displays. For some minutes after switch on the GPS/GLONASS data will not be available. Note that when data is unavailable, the satellite position and status remains blank. 1.

AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SCREEN TWO (NAVIGATOR'S HORIZONTAL DISPLAY) Here the transverse movement and the ships longitudinal movement are displayed. 1. Shows the speed in knots athwart ships at the Bow. 2. Shows the speed in knots athwart ships at the Stern. 3.
Page 35
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SCREEN FOUR (NAVIGATOR'S HORIZONTAL DISPLAY) Here the Speed/EM Log (Dual axis if available) speed indications are displayed. 1. Shows the speed in knots forward and astern in the direction of the ships Bow. 2.
Page 36
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 SCREEN 1 (HEAD UP DOCKING AID DISPLAY) This display gives the same data as screen one on the Navigators Horizontal display. SCREEN 2 (HEAD UP DOCKING AID DISPLAY) The display indicates, heading, bow lateral speed, fore and aft speed and stem lateral speed.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 Fault Finding on SMIDS LOSS OF SMIDS SPEED OR POSITION If it is found that both the Bow and Stern speed indications are missing and the GPS position is still displayed check the GYRO input as this is critical to calculate the SMIDS speeds.
Page 38
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 E) MESSAGES RECEIVED BUT NO DATA This indicates that the GRACIE is powered up and sending NMEA messages to the MEU. When the GG sensor has acquired enough satellites and has sufficiently built its almanac it will then proceed to C.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 LOSS OF WATER SPEED If the NMEA serial data from the water log equipment goes missing the speed fields will blank out and the message LOG DATA PROBLEM will appear. 1. Confirm the Log equipment is switched ON 2.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 KW991-HR HEADING DISPLAY INTRODUCTION A bright green vacuum fluorescent dot matrix display presents ships heading from the gyro or magnetic compass. The VF display overcomes the disadvantages of other electronic displays such as LCD, such that it can be seen in dark environments, and has a higher contrast.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 INSTALLATION NOTES SITING Pre-planning and fore thought is essential for the practical siting of the display for best visibility and access. It should be mounted so that it can be viewed from most positions on the bridge, and with consideration against the bright sunlight.

AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 UNSMOOTHED RECTIFIED STEPPER This is raw rectified. You can measure using a ‘scope. On a Multimeter you can measure a voltage on AC range whereas with pure DC you should not measure a voltage.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 KW991-HR HEADING DISPLAY OPERATOR’S GUIDE KEY PAD FUNCTIONS Switch off Display illumination. Switch on Display illumination. Increase illumination. Increase OCA window. Decrease illumination. Decrease OCA window. Hold for 3 seconds to enter alignment mode. Keep holding then use INC and DEC to align heading.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 OFF COURSE ALARM The alarm is OFF when disabled or the limit window is set to zero. The display and audio alarms become active by toggling the button. The Off Course Alarm compares the set heading and the actual heading ideally they should always stay the same.
AMI Installation KW919 Doc No: AMI IM919 APPROXIMATE CABLE REQUIREMENTS NOTE! All cables (with the exception of the Antenna RG213 and the Gyro Signal) originate from the MEU. The MEU is normally located in the BRIDGE or an adjacent compartment. 200 to 280 Metres 6 Core Screened 2.5mm each conductor.
