Hardware Installation
While designing the F180R System Inertial Attitude and Positioning System, CodaOctopus has
made it a high priority to ensure that the system is easy to install, configure and use. With a
need for only the bare minimum of installation parameters to be supplied manually, the
system intelligently evaluates the details of its own installation and uses them to deliver
navigation measurements of optimal accuracy.
These instructions explain how to install and connect the components of the F180R System.
Although it is easy to install and configure the system, you should take some time to read
these instructions and identify each of the components of the system before you begin so that
you can be sure you have everything you need readily available.
A typical installation should then be accomplished quickly so that you may have the system
running and delivering accurate measurements within less than a couple of hours. Unlike
other similar systems, the F180R System requires no complex installation measurements that
delay progress and make the system susceptible to simple errors of geometry.
The task sequence you need to follow is:
1. Identify the major components of the F180R System.
2. Select and prepare suitable locations in the vessel to install them.
3. Install the cabling and components on the vessel.
4. Configure the installation.
NOTE: Running through the MOTION Settings Wizard before physically installing the
F180R System on the vessel could provide helpful as it would give a better
understanding of what is required during the hardware installation.
NOTE: It is a relatively easy operation to transfer theF180R System between different
vessels. This is of particular benefit for those who will use the system in a series of
short–term operations conducted using different vessels.
