Export, Shipping Weight & Dimensions
The compact size of the WBMS systems allows for simplified shipping and handling. The lightest
NORBIT system wet-end is the 0.9° x 1.9º WBMS at 4.5kg in air while the heaviest system is the
0.9° x 0.95º iWBMSh which has an integrated IMU and provides the highest resolution data and is
11kg in air and 7kg in water.
ITAR Restrictions
Except for the iWBMSc, all others in the iWBMS(x) family contain an Applanix POS MV. All systems
are free of Canadian and EU export controls.
When exported from the U.S., the U.S. Department of Commerce ECCN 7A994 reference number
needs to be quoted on all shipping documentation.
CAUTION: For US-Based Systems
For shipping internationally, all shipping documents should quote ECCN
7A994. This number is the same for all Applanix & NovAtel systems.
NORBIT strongly recommends DHL as a preferred shipper when shipping
internationally.
Due to system configuration and selected components, there are no import or export restrictions on
the WBMS sonar which facilitates unimpeded global operations.
Shipping
Each NORBIT system (including all components) are shipped in a single, lightweight Pelican case
that meets airline baggage guidelines.
Airline Checked Luggage: Despite the rugged freight case construction with dense form-cut foam
shock absorption, it is prudent to handle the full cases with care. Please ensure an airline “Fragile”
label is prominently displayed.
Airline Carry-On Baggage: The WBMS case may be hand-carried onto many airplanes but when
checking through airport security it is often required to remove the sonar from the case for x-ray.
1.8
Caring for Your Investment
To protect the sonar from undue damage, please follow these reasonable minimum guidelines,
especially while operating in harsh environments.
Never support the WBMS by the sound speed probe or strictly by the projector. For the stand-alone
WBMS when shipping in a non-foam cut case, remove the sound speed probe and replace it with
blue dust cap. Ensure all connectors are protected with provided caps/covers when not in use.
