3. If it is impractical to electrically isolate the IMU from the vessel, attach
a ground strap between the IMU ground connection screw and the
hull of the vessel to ensure adequate electrical noise protection.
4. Attach the IMU connection cable to the IMU connector and tighten the
locking collar by hand. Route the cable from the IMU to the PCS
mounting location. Avoid subjecting the cable to sharp bends or other
mechanical stresses. Use cable clips to secure the cable at regular
intervals along its length.
5. Connect the IMU cable to the IMU port on the rear panel of the PCS.
Tighten the locking collar by hand.
6. After IMU installation, measure the lever arm distances and the
mounting angles that POS MV requires to generate its navigation
solutions. Refer to page
2-38, Installation Parameters for details of
these parameters.
POS Computer System - POS MV V4
The PCS is the heart of the POS MV V4 systems and is based on an Intel
Pentium processor. The PCS footprint is shown in
Appendix E.
Install the PCS
Remove the PCS from its transit case to allow connection and operation. With
the PCS removed from the transit case, you can install, connect and use the
unit in a 19 in (48.3 cm) instrument rack where it occupies two rack units of
space. Use an instrument rack that provides isolation against shock and
vibration.
