General acousticconsiderations

Take this information into consideration when deploying the transponders.

Acoustic range

The depth rating should not be confused with acoustic range. The acoustic range isdependent on many factors, and some of the factors are outside control of the user.

Vessel system

The directivity and coverage area for the vessel system is different, depending on whichsystem you are using. Some systems have high directivity and omnidirectional coverage,while other systems has reduced coverage and less directivity. The transponder shouldalways be within the coverage cone of the vessel system.

Transducer type

There are different types of transducers used on the transponders. An omnidirectionaltransducer, such as TD180, covers a large area, but has less acoustic power compared toa focused transducer, such as TD30V. A focused signal gives less footprint/coverage.The vessel should always be within the signal footprint of the transponder.

TX Power

The ability to detect signals depends on the signal strength. The transmission power canbe adjusted, both for the vessel system and for the transponder.

Acoustic noise

Acoustic noise is present at all vessels. At given conditions, the noise level can beexcessive. Acoustic noise is caused by main propellers and thrusters, and in someinstances also from machinery/pumps on board. Heavy propeller/thruster use or alsowaves can also generate air bubbles, which can get in front of the vessel transducer andblock the acoustic signal.

General acoustic considerations

14 397152/D

Sound velocity and ray bending

Changes in sound velocity through the water column caused by changes in the watertemperature and/or salinity can bend the acoustic signal and make it impossible to reachthe vessel.

Safety featuresThe cNODE MiniS has a safety valve for releasing pressure that might build up insidethe transponder.

Pressure relief valve

The transponder is fitted with a pressure relief valve at the bottom of the unit. Therelief valve prevents overpressure. This valve will release the pressure if it exceedsapproximately 1.0 bar.

The relief valve will normally pop out gently releasing the pressure. The valve is resetby firmly pushing the valve back in and is levelled with the surrounding surface.

Resetting the valve can in certain cases be obstructed due to production of acids and saltsleaking from a damaged battery. In such cases the battery and circuits may have beendamaged. Please contact Kongsberg Maritime for assistance.

Handling a transponder with an open relief valve or heated body

If the transponder body is hot when recovered, place the transponder fully submergedin a bucket of water for 24 hours or deploy into the sea permanently. If this method isimpossible, the transponder can be cooled with lots of cold water using a fire hose.

If the transponder pressure relief valve emits gas or liquids when recovered, place thetransponder fully submerged in a bucket of water for 24 hours or deploy into the seapermanently. If this method is impossible, the transponder can be cooled with lots ofcold water using a fire hose.

For additional information about the cells inside the sealed battery pack, see the safetydata sheet provided by the cell manufacturer. https://lithiumwerks.com/

SECTION 2: Hazards identificationThe battery is not provided with any hazards identification. It is not classified asdangerous or hazardous with normal use.

The battery must not be opened or burned. The battery contains dangerous ingredients.Exposure to the ingredients contained within the battery cells could be harmful. Thebattery cells include a barrier, preventing exposure to the user and environment. Thebattery cells are not classified as hazardous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

The chemicals in the battery cells are contained in a sealed enclosure. Risk of exposureoccurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the pointof compromising the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solutioncontained within can occur by inhalation, ingestion, eye contact and skin contact. Theelectrolyte solution can be corrosive and may cause irritation and burns.

Other hazards• Overcharge: If the cells that form the battery block are overcharged, the results may

be a thermal runaway.• External fire: Internal pressure and thermal runaway may be the consequences if the

cells inside the battery are exposed to temperatures above 85 °C.

cNODE MiniS Instruction Manual

Page 53: Instruction manual cNODE MiniS transponder · 12 397152/D Onceunpacked,theequipmentmustbestoredinacontrolledenvironmentwithan atmospherefreeofcorrosiveagents,excessivehumidityortemperatureextremes

397152/D 51

• Internal short circuit: Internal short circuit in a cell. Destruction of the separator cancause a short circuit between the anode and cathode. Thermal runaway and fire ispossible.

• Water ingress: Internal pressure, thermal runway and chemical reactions may bethe consequence.

The transponder is fitted with a pressure relief valve at the bottom of the unit. Therelief valve prevents overpressure. Noxious gases and ingredients will then leak out ofthe transponder until the chemical reactions have stopped. Products generated by thechemical reactions during an emergency may however clog this pressure release valve.

52 397152/D

• Inhalation: The chemicals are lung irritant. Avoid inhaling any vented gases. Removethe victim and yourself from exposure. Rest and keep warm. If breathing is difficult,seek emergency medical attention.

• Skin contact: The chemicals are skin irritant. Rinse immediately with copious amountof water and soap for at least 15 minutes. Wipe immediately away excess materialwith waterless hand cleaner. Remove contaminated clothing and wash it thoroughlybefore reuse.

• Eye contact: The chemicals are eye irritant. Flush immediately with copious amountof clear tepid water for at least 15 minutes.

• Ingestion: Exposure to the chemicals may cause tissue damage to throat andgastro/respiratory tract if swallowed. If ingested, rinse mouth and surrounding areawith tepid water. Dilute by drinking plenty of water. Seek medical advice.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measuresThe transponder is designed to withstand damage to the internal battery pack.Non-flammable material is used. In case of fire, move the battery away from fire areaif you can do it without compromising your own safety. Extreme mechanical abuse tothe battery may result in a ruptured seal and exposure.

The individual cells in the battery pack contain a flammable liquid electrolyte that mayvent, ignite and produce sparks when subjected to high temperatures (> 150 °C/302 °F),when damaged or abused. A burning battery can ignite other batteries in close proximity.

Suitable extinguishing media are dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. Cooldown the battery/transponder with copious amounts of cold water.

The interaction with water or water vapour and exposed lithium hexafluorophosphate(Li PF6) may result in the generation of hydrogen and hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas.Contact with battery electrolyte may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Fumes may cause dizzinessor suffocation. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Note

In case of an external fire, always remove transponder units and lithium batteries.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measuresDuring normal operation, accidental release measures are not applicable. Extrememechanical abuse to the battery may result in a ruptured seal and exposure.

As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate the spill or leak area at least 25 metres(75 feet) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind, and keep out

SECTION 13: Disposal considerationsDispose of the batteries in accordance with local, state and federal laws and regulationsfor batteries.

A lithium thionyl chloride battery does not contain any heavy metals, and is therefore notregarded as special waste (contains only biodegradable parts).

A used transponder lithium battery can contain a significant amount of residual energy.It is the danger of explosion that presents a problem when disposing a battery. Usedbatteries must therefore be handled with the same care as new ones.

Note

For safe disposal, contact the nearest local company that has been approved to collectand dispose of lithium batteries.

SECTION 14: Transport informationTransportation of the cNODE MiniS must be performed in accordance with rules andregulations stated for transportation of dangerous goods in the applicable countries.Required battery state for transportation is 30% or less remaining capacity to complywith regulations.• Shipment of transponder
