The reader
This manual is intended to be used by a trained maintenance technician or engineer,
with experience of electronic and digital circuitry, computers and electromechanical
design. The level of information is based on Simrad’s maintenance philosophy: The
onboard technical personnel shall, with the help of the documentation and the system’s
built-in test functions, be able to identify malfunctions, locate the fault, and replace
major parts, modules and components on the “Line Replaceable Unit” (LRU) level.
He/she will however not attempt to repair the LRUs.
