2.0 Installation
Installation of the Position and Orientation system for Marine Vessels
(POS MV) is reasonably simple, provided the installation instructions, in this
manual, are carefully followed. Installation and connection of the POS
Computer System (PCS), the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and the Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antennas should only take a few hours.
This section of the POS MV V4 manual explains each stage of the installation.
By following these instructions, you can unpack, install and configure the
system so that it is ready to operate with minimal delay.
Handling Precautions
To prevent damage to the system components handle all POS MV
assemblies with care. The following paragraphs explain the special handling
precautions that apply to the IMU, PCS and GNSS antennas.
Inertial Measurement Unit
The IMU contains sensitive and expensive solid-state
accelerometer and gyro components. Permanent damage to
these components will result if handled roughly.
Exercise care when handling this unit; in particular, be careful when placing
the IMU on or mounting it to any surface. Field repair of the IMU is not
possible. If this unit develops a fault or becomes damaged it must be returned
to Applanix for repair. Refer to
Technical Support and Service on page A-1 for
procedures.
