Commissioning - June 15 2007

The Kabola unit will require one more visit to complete. By tomorrow the Kabola will be ready to operate except for the igniter in the burner requires replacement, the interface to the CrusieAir system must be connected following additional work by CruisAir on the CrusieAir unit and the connection to the hot tub must be engineered.

CruiseAir has the following remaining work to be done: Verify the immersion probe in place and functioning or install if not (this is the temperature sensor that shuts down the Kabola if the water gets to hot) and hook up the interface wire for the Kabola relay.

The hot tub connection to the Kabola needs additional engineering. This should be accomplished by Tuesday.

I will follow up and coordinate.

Separately, PAE will be increasing its team aboard N6805 next week.

I'll update you Monday.

Best regards,

Gene

I am so happy with the way this project is going, we are making good progress and Chris got more done than he had reported to me, which is a good thing. The Outbound Team had all the Generator sensors installed, the Water Maker Sensors, The Engine Room Fire Sensor and the Port and Stbd Engine Battery Sensors. As of today we have greater than 90% of the sensors installed and connected. The sensors yet to be installed are,

Navigation Battery Voltage
Navigation Battery Amperage in
Navigation Battery Amperage out
Navigation Running Lights status indicator
Navigation Anchor Lights status indicator
All the Hatch Sensors (5)
The Freezer Temperature Sensor
The Atlas Interface Module.

To put things in perspective, these may appear to be many sensors but all the Nav sensors, the freezer sensor and the Atlas module can be installed in a day, the wires are all ran except for the Atlas Module and they are connected in the controller.

The Hatch Sensors are to be installed but the wires are ran and connected in the controller so as soon as they are installed and wired they are ready to go.

We also have some Sensors/Relays that are installed and wires are ran for them but they have not yet been connected, these are as follows,

The House Battery Voltage, these batteries are somewhat inaccessible so we are changing the monitoring location to the analog gauge in the breaker panel.
The DC Power Supply Fault Status.
The Fuel Pump Running Indicator.
The Lazzarette Fans Running Indicator.
The Lazzarette Heat Rate of Rise sensor.

We need to calibrate the tanks, for this we will need someone from Nordhavn to do the fuel transfer. We need to adjust some of the Inductive proximity sensors on some of the doors and identify the Port Hole sensors by location.

We are in a good position to wrap up at the end of next week, the Outbound guys are a great help but this week they were only able to give me a day and a half, Chris tells me he hope to be there next week so we can get everything outstanding completed.

We have SiMON up and running at this time, we are able to view temps, pressures and voltages and if the Engine Room Fans are running, if the Generators are running and the status of some of the doors and hatches. We are close to having Engine Data, the controllers are all connected, and the sensor data points are being displayed, we should have this wrapped up by later today.

We hope things continue to run smoothly so we will meet our projected completion day.
