Hello, this is RS Korea. Today, I am writing a blog after installing it on a very large ship. There are no cases of installation inside a ship and there are many things to check, so I will try to organize it in the blog. ■ The environment at the quotation stage is very dusty. Please bring a mask when you come for the on-site inspection. There is a certain height, so you need to install the measuring instrument on the bottom floor of the coal storage room and view it from the electronic display board at the entrance. Due to the nature of the ship, it shakes when it encounters waves, so there should be no problem with the shaking. Since the electronic display board is installed on the outside, it must be waterproof. Please come and see it quickly. Due to the dusty environment, it was necessary to determine whether pre-processing equipment should be installed on the FIX800, and the site inspection was requested to be conducted quickly, so it was immediately flown to Yeosu.
Yes... They said a mask was essential because there was dust, so I brought it with me, but they said it was impossible to wear a regular mask because the coal dust was blowing around so much, so they gave me a dust mask, so I was able to conduct the on-site inspection without any health problems. Since it was a dusty environment, we thought about using pre-processing equipment (dust removal), but as shown in the picture, coal dust was piled up and there was a lot of it flying around, so we thought that if we attached a dust removal filter and a pump to the pre-treatment equipment, the intake would be clogged with coal dust, so we proposed an atmospheric diffusion method. ■ Product link provided https://rs-korea.com/shop/goods_view.php?gno=326&goods_name=800&x=0&y=0 Additional options: 4ch electronic display
Coal storage room - Installation of FIX800 type gas meter Entrance to coal storage room - Installation of electronic display board Configuration that allows workers to check the internal gas concentration before going down to the coal storage room ■ Reason for installing the coal storage room The coal storage room itself is an enclosed space, wear a dust mask due to coal dust, the temperature is 30 to 32 degrees when the interior is ventilated, and if the worker enters the humid and hot space when gas is not properly checked, problems arise immediately. It is judged that this will occur. The purpose of entering the worker is to check the gas concentration by sufficiently ventilating it before working in a closed space. In fact, I was sweating so much that when the dust mask got wet, I couldn't breathe properly, and if it had been a situation where there was a lack of oxygen, I felt like I would have been sore. ■ All installation confirmations were completed. Thanks to the fact that the head of the organization immediately checked on site and told us everything about what to do, we decided that the installation could be done without much difficulty and proceeded with it. The big ship you see in the distance is the site where we will be working today.

Because everyone was exposed to coal dust during the on-site inspection before work, everyone came prepared with dustproof clothing for this installation. I wore it out of gratitude that they had prepared mine, but the combination of dustproof clothing and dust mask made me experience lack of oxygen and dehydration because I sweat a lot, and I never wanted to experience that again.
To first locate the FIX800 measuring instrument, first fix the steel pipe with a clip to configure the power and communication lines.
Along with the installation of the electronic signboard, everyone is pulling the wires to connect the 220V power source to the electronic signboard. It may seem like I'm just taking pictures from behind while everyone else is working, but that's true. The only thing I can help you with during installation is holding the signboard and providing simple assistance. They told me to stay still because the construction could take a long time if I mess with it for no reason. My role comes last.
All work is completed by connecting the 24V power supply from the electronic display board and the RS485 communication line to the measuring instrument.
When the electronic display board is turned on and the meter is turned on, there is an initial warm-up time of 60 seconds, so the display board will definitely show O2: 0 / CO: 0 / H2S: 0 / LEL: 0, but everyone is gathered around and saying, "Oh!
After confirming that the numbers are showing normally, it is now my role.
After receiving confirmation from the engineer that it is okay to turn on the gas in the coal storage room, I go down alone with a standard gas bottle. The ship's workers were curious about the electronic display board, so they turned on the warning light while I was explaining it. The warning light did not sound during the first test, so we tested it again and confirmed that all 4 gases were responding. We showed them through the second test to see if the warning light sounded well. I was definitely putting gas in the basement when I heard an ooooooo sound from about 20m above and it was over!! The installation ended with a shout. ■ Things to check when working on a ship: When installing inside a ship, it is essential to check whether drilling is possible. It is necessary to avoid drilling as much as possible and check whether work can be done in a tray or an area where electric cable lines already exist. Since the ship is basically on the sea, it is necessary to find an appropriate location to prevent the product from falling or poor construction due to shaking by waves. Of course, this is because there may be places where the user's desired measuring instrument position cannot be properly fixed. You must ask the chief engineer, who is familiar with the inside of the ship, to cooperate during installation. The reason is that ships must also check the perforated parts of the caulking work and check what is behind the wall when the perforations are made. In this way, the installation of the first ship's internal gas meter has been completed. This concludes the blog.
