High voltage safety warning

Precautionary measuresThe voltages used to power this equipmentare potentially lethal. Even 110 volts can kill.Whenever possible, the followingprecautionary measures must be taken beforeany work is carried out inside the equipment:S Switch off all high-voltage power supplies.S Check the operation of any door interlocks

and any other safety devices.S Completely discharge all high-voltage

capacitors.It should be noted that interlocks and safetydevices are normally located only at regularaccess points, and high voltages may beexposed during dismantling.Never work alone on high-voltageequipment!

First aid in the event ofelectric shockNormally, even a high voltage electric shockwill not kill instantly. The victim can still berevived even when his breathing andheart-beat have ceased.Could YOU save someones life?In the event of electric shock, the correctactions, performed quickly may well save thevictims life. Make sure you know what todo!

Immediate action

While shouting for help, remove the source ofpower from the victim. Switch off the supplyif possible, or using a dry, non-conductivematerial (rubber gloves, broom handle etc.) toinsulate yourself, separate the victim from thesource. If the voltage exceeds 1000 volts,switch off the supply and be ready to catchthe victim. Take care- do not become a victimyourself.Commence first aid on the spot. Continue toshout for assistance till someone arrives.1 Lay the victim flat on his back and loosen

any tight clothing (collar, tie, belt etc.).

2 Open his mouth and check for and removeany false teeth, chewing gum etc.

3 Check if the victim is breathing. If not,check if his heart is beating. The pulse isnormally easily found in the main arteriesof the neck, either side of the throat, upunder the chin.

If his heart is beating but he is not breathing,commence artificial respiration. If thevictims heart is not beating, commenceexternal cardiac massage (ECM). Continue toshout for assistance till someone arrives.

External cardiac massage1 Kneel beside the victim. Place the heel of

one hand in the centre of his chest, at aposition half way between the notchbetween the collar-bones at the top of hischest, and the dip in the breast-bone at thebase of his rib cage. Place the other handon top of the first.

2 Keeping the arms straight and using yourentire weight, press down rapidly so thatthe breast bone is depressed four- five cm,then release the pressure. Repeatrhythmically at a rate of one cycle persecond. This will be hard work, but keepgoing. His life depends on YOU. Do notworry about breaking his ribs - these willheal if he survives.

Artificial respiration1 Kneel besides the victims head. Place one

hand under his neck and lift, allowing hishead to fall back. This will lift his tongueand open the air passage in his throat.

2 Place the palm of the hand on his foreheadto maintain the chin-up position.

3 Using the index finger and thumb of thesame hand, pinch the victims nostrilsclosed. Open his mouth.

4 Take a deep breath and cover his mouthwith yours. Blow steadily into his lungs toexpand his chest. Remove your mouthfrom his to allow the air to escape from hischest. You should be able to see his chestdeflate.

5 Repeat the inflation-deflation cycle at arate of about 12 cycles per minute till thevictim begins to breath normally again.

Combining ECM and artificialrespirationIf you are alone, perform one cycle ofartificial respiration for every five cycles ofECM. This will be hard work, but keep going.His life depends on you!If there are other people available to help, oneshould perform the ECM while one performsthe artificial respiration for every five cyclesof ECM. It will be much more efficient withtwo people.Once the victims heart is beating and he isbreathing, roll him onto his side and supporthim in that position. As consciousness returnshe may vomit, and this will allow any liquidto drain out of his mouth.

Remove the victim to a hospital as soon aspossible, but do not interrupt the artificialrespiration and ECM cycles till his heart beatand breathing returns.If started quickly and performed correctly, theresuscitation methods described will keep asufficient volume of oxygenated bloodflowing trough the victims body to allow fullrecovery.Proficiency in the resuscitation methods canonly be achieved trough training. Allpersonnel concerned should attend courses ona regular basis. Remember, someones lifecould depend on you.

3.2 About integrated systemsThe SeaMap 10 is often connected to other SeaMap 10 units,DataBridge 10 radar/ARPA systems and conning display viaLocal Area Network (LAN). Such integrated systems share thefollowing information:

Routes Charts Barrier Lines Mariners notesThe information is distributed so that if a display unit is switchedoff or fails, the remaining units can continue without degradedperformance. When, for instance, a route is edited in one display,it is automatically updated in the other units.

The principle of shared information also applies to the following:

Sensors read by any display unit can be monitored at everydisplay unit.

A route selected for track steeringwill be common to all displayunits.

Own ships data is common to all display units. Tracks from any DataBridge 10 radar/ARPA can bemonitored at every ECDIS display unit.

Radar video from any DataBridge 10 radar/ARPA can bemonitored at every ECDIS display unit.

It is possible to switch a display unit off line. Thiswill stop the unitfrom sharing the system wide information.

3.3 About charts in general

The SeaMap 10 currently supports the following chart formats: S57 Ed.3 official vector charts. S57 Version 2 vector charts. CM93 Edition 2 vector charts from C--Map Norway. CM93 Edition 3 vector charts from C--Map Norway. HCRF raster charts, either ARCS charts from the UnitedKingdom Hydrographic Office or Seafarer charts from theAustralian Hydrographic Office

NSKV vector charts from Norwegian Hydrographic office. PL2 vector charts, proprietary Kongsberg Maritime format.While Kongsberg Maritime provides the ECDIS system, chartsmust be purchased/subscribed to from the individual suppliers. Ascharts are updated frequently, subscribing to updates will in mostcases be beneficial.

Charts provided with the SeaMap 10 are a chart covering theworld in a scale of 1 : 20.000.000 and a chart covering the area forthe sea trial.

The chart formats have different handling characteristics. Pleasefollow the individual procedures as described in the following.

3.4 How to use C-Map CM-93 edition 2 chartsCM--93 Edition 2 charts are compatible with the IHO S57 edition2 format and is manufactured by C--Map. All C--Map CM--93edition 2 charts are available on three compact discs. To use thecharts you need a authorization code from C--Map. The world isdivided into nine zones (see below), and each zone is again dividedinto a number of areas. The licence code defines which zones orareas you are able to use.

About navigation and overview working sets

When C--Map CM--93Edition 2 charts are installed in theSeaMap 10 they are converted to a proprietary format.Dependent on the number of charts thismay take considerable time-- even hours. To reduce the time, charts that are not required neednot be converted. For any given area several charts at differentscales will normally be available. To speed up the conversionprocess we have defined charts in two categories:

-- Navigational working set: For this category select thecharts that are required for your voyage. Select the scalelevels required (C, D, E, F and/or G).

-- Overview working set: For this category select charts toprovide larger overview. Here youwant chart that go outsidethe charts selected for the navigational working set. For thisarea only charts at scale level A and/or B can be loaded.
