AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMAir Conditioning Systems are installed on the RB-M to provide controlled operating and passenger environments to meet mission requirements. The Air Conditioning System consists of the following components:

1. Air Conditioning Unit.There are two self-contained 16,000 BTU A/C Units on the RB-M located

In the Pilothouse and Survivors’ Compartment. Each unit has HCFC R-22Refrigerant and has four main components:1. Blower. 2. Evaporator. 3. Compressor. 4. Condenser.2. Air Conditioning Unit Controller.

ON/OFF Button: starts and stops the A/C Unit.Digital Display: indicates room temperature when the system is on. The

display is blank when the system is off.UP Button: indicates the current temperature set-point on the digital

display and increases the temperature set-point.DOWN Button: indicates the current temperature set-point on the

digital display and decreases the temperature set-point.FAN Button: changes the fan mode between auto and manual and

selects the fan speed when in manual mode.MODE Button: selects the operating mode of the A/C Unit.FAN Speed Indicators: indicates the selection of fan speed (Auto or

Manual (High, Medium, Low)).MODE Indicators: indicates the operating mode of the A/C Unit (Auto,

Cool Heat, Moisture Control).3. Air Conditioning Unit Condensate Drain.

Each A/C Unit has a condensate drain line to remove condensate that isproduced during unit operation. The Pilothouse A/C Unit condensate gravity

drains directly overboard through a hose and check valve on the port sideat Frame 7. The Survivors’ Compartment A/C Unit condensate gravitydrains directly to a condensate sump located in the bilge of the Survivors’Compartment next to the bilge pump. The Survivors’ Compartment HVAC Condensate Sump Pump is a self contained unit that contains an electric pump and float switch. When the sump level actives the float switch, condensate is pumped directly overboardthrough a hose and check valve on the starboard side at Frame 13.4. Pump Relay Panel.

The Pump Relay Panel is located in the overhead of the Auxiliary MachineryCompartment port side at Frame 8. The Pump Relay Panel is a two-unit solidstate relay that controls the HVAC Raw Water Pump operation to coincidewith A/C Unit operation. When one of the A/C Units is in operation, thePump Relay Panel energizes the HVAC Raw Water Pump to provide coolingwater to the A/C Unit.

NOTE: When waypoints and/or routes are received from another unit, all current routes and waypoints in the receiving unit will be overwritten and lost.

INTERCEPTERS/ TRIM TABS

The interceptor trim tabs are integrated with the steering system to improve performance in turns. Interceptor trim tabs are located directly below each water jet. The interceptor trim tab is operated by a hydraulic cylinder and will control the attitude of the boat only when underway at speed. A trim tab in the lowered position creates lift on the stern of the boat. Lowering a trim tab on one side will create lift on the corresponding side and therefore correct a list. Lowering both trim tabs will create lift evenly on the stern and assist in reducing bow rise

induced from wave action. The position of each trim tab is indicated by independent sending units.The Interceptor Trim/roll Joystick Controls are located in the Pilothouse on the left armrest of the Coxswain and Navigator Seats.They can be used in auto mode or in a manual mode simply by adjusting the knob. It can be put back into auto mode by raising the interceptors all the way up again or by reducing the RPM’s below 1350.

Basic System Functionality

System Switch ConfigurationThe Crew Connection Point is configurable via the key pad located on the top of the unit. Thesystem default is configured so that only the Commander can transmit (TX) and receive (RX)radio traffic.

Intercommunications with Crew MembersThe Commander and any Crew Member can continuously communicate between each other.Activate the microphone on a crew member's headwear for intercommunication with othercrew members by moving the headwear PTT switch to the CENTER position, as shown inFigure 5–1 Intercommunication may also be initiated by pressing the Intercom-PTT button on the CCP.

FIGURE 5–1. Microphone Function Switch Description

Radio Transmit and Receive TransmissionThe Commander can continuously monitor radio traffic of all radios connected to the RIIC. Toactivate the microphone on the Commander's headwear to transmit over a particular radio, thecommander selects that radio using the key-pad switches on the CCP. The Commander thenpresses their PTT (momentary) switch forward, to the transmit (TX) position. At the conclusionof the transmission, the Commander releases the PTT switch to turn the microphone OFF.Microphone - OFF Microphone - ONCENTER POSITION REAR POSITIONRadio - PTT (momentary)FORWARD POSITION

Power InterruptionWhen a power interruption occurs, and the CL/TR is the Master, when power returns, theMaster will come back online transmitting. The CL/TR is always the Master unless an out-of range occurrence happens.

Crew Connection PointThe primary function of the Crew Connection Point (CCP) is to allow secure,intercommunication between vehicle crew members. The Crew Connection Point alsoprovides for radio traffic (TX and RX). Headwear is connected via a retractile cable to theCrew/Commander connection. Once fully installed and powered, crew members can speak toeach other through the headwear.

Key-Pad Key DescriptionsWhen the Radio-PTT button is pressed the CCP will display this menu and indicate to theradio where outgoing voice transmission is going. If the CCP is in Crew PTT the CCP willdisplay this menu and indicate either All Crew if in Crew All mode or the destination CCP if inCrew Iso mode for the outgoing voice transmission. The CCP will return to its previous menu/mode after transmission is complete.The top line of text displays, going from left to right:• Text indicating whether the user is communicating to all parties or a selected crewmember in crew mode and whether the user is listening to all radios or a selectedradio in radio mode. These modes are distinguished by the text All for all parties or Isofor a selected party.• Text indicating whether the CCP is displaying information regarding crew traffic orradio traffic. The text Crew is shown when displaying crew information. The text Radiois shown when displaying radio data.• Text indicating the mode the intercom microphone is in. The text PTT is shown forpush-to-talk mode. In this mode, the user is required to press the Intercom-PTT key totalk. The text VOX is shown for hands free voice activated intercom transmission. Thetext OPEN is shown when the microphone is always live.The center line of text displays communication destination information. If the CCP is set todisplay crew information, the text will display All Crew if the selected mode is All or will displaythe crew member the user is communicating with if the selected mode is Iso. If the CCP is set

to display radio information, then text indicating the radio to be communicated with when theRadio-PTT button is depressed, is shown.The bottom line of text displays the function of the soft keys. Going from left to right:

• Pressing Soft Key-Left will toggle the between All and Iso either the Radio or theIntercom depending on the state of the CCP as displayed in the middle of the top lineof text on the menu.

• Pressing Soft Key-Center will toggle the CCP between Radio and Crew (Intercom) fordisplay of status information. The current state of the CCP is displayed in the middle ofthe top line of text on the menu.

• Pressing Soft Key-Right will toggle the microphone mode between PTT, VOX, andOpen. This changes how the microphone operates when communicating to the crew.The current state of the microphone is displayed on the right side of the top line of texton the menu.The volume setting of the headgear is visual interactive via a bar graph on the right side of thedisplay. Pressing the Volume-Up or Volume-Down buttons will increase or decrease thesound. Depressing both the Volume-Up and the Volume-Down buttons simultaneously placesthe CCP in combat volume mode. This mode is indicated by the wide bars in the Volume bardisplay. Combat mode is toggled to the off condition by, again, simultaneously depressing theup and down arrow key.Lights ButtonWhen the Lights button is pressed momentarily, it will turn the LEDs to backlight the displayON for several seconds. Whether the Red or Green LEDs are illuminated is determined by theconfiguration of the CCP. When the Lights button is depressed and held for approximately 1second, it will turn the lights ON permanently. Press the Lights button for approximately 4seconds to display the Lights menu. The Lights menu is where changes to the LED type andintensity are made. The CCP will return to the previous menu if no button is pressed withinapproximately 20 seconds. The red color is used to preserve the user's night vision. Thefunction of this button is always constant.Radio Select-Up / Radio Select-Down ButtonsDependent on whether the system is in Radio or Crew mode. On the Main Menu in Radiomode, pressing these buttons will cycle through the list of selectable radios for outboundcommunication. On the Main Menu in Crew mode, this action will cycle through the otherCCP's to select one for outbound communication, when in Isolate mode.Volume-Up / Volume-Down ButtonsIncreases or decreases volume for the listener on the Main Menu. The Volume-Up andVolume-Down buttons control the sound level in the headgear. Depressing bothsimultaneously toggles the CCP between normal volume control and combat volume mode.The wide bars in the Volume bar display indicate Combat Volume Mode. To exit CombatVolume Mode, press both volume buttons simultaneously.Soft Key-LeftSwitches between All and Isolate mode for communication with the crew or a radio. Themodes will function as follows:• Radio All - User will be able to receive from all radios, but only transmit to the selectedone.• Radio Isolate - User will only be able to transmit and receive to and from the selectedradio. All other CCPs will not hear this communication.• Crew All - User will be able to receive and transmit to all crew members.• Crew Isolate - User will only be able to transmit to the selected crew member, but stillreceive transmissions from all other members who are operating in All mode. All otherCCPs will not hear this communication.Soft Key-CenterSwitches between Radio and Crew mode. In Radio mode, the selection list will display onlyradio names. In Crew mode, the selection list will display only crew names.

Soft Key-RightCycles between the following microphone modes to activate the following:• [PTT] - The key on the CCP must be pressed for voice transmission.• [Vox] - Software algorithm will detect a voice on the microphone and turn the mic live.The microphone will go dead after some time of lacking detection of a voice.• [Open Mic] - The microphone is always live in this mode.Radio-PTT ButtonWill transmit voice from the user only to the radio that is selected, as long as it is allowed bythe permissions tables. Regardless of whether Radio mode is in All or Isolate, only theselected radio will be used for transmission. Regardless of whether Radio or Crew mode isselected, this button will transmit to the selected radio and during transmission the name of theselected radio will appear on the display. When the button is released, the display will return toits previous state.Intercom-PTT ButtonDependent on whether the CCP is in Isolate or All mode. In All mode, pressing this button willallow voice transmission to all crew members. In Isolate mode, only the crew member that isselected will receive transmission from the user when PTT is pressed. Regardless of whetherRadio or Crew mode is selected, this key will transmit to the crew, and during isolatedtransmission the name of the selected crew will appear on the display. In all mode the wordsALL CREW will be displayed. When the button is released, the display will return to itsprevious state.Menu ButtonWhen the Menu button is pressed and NMEA is enabled, the CCP displays the NMEA menuand the associated functionality, as shown in Figure 5–5, otherwise, the Permissions/AccessMenu is displayed

FLIRWhile the imagery you will see on the monitor may look like black and white

daylight video, it isn’t! A few tips on how to interpret some of the imagery will help you to make the most of your system. Turn on the camera using the On/Off switch. Ensure that your display is turned on and you have selected the Navigator as the source for your display. The camera automatically adjusts to changing scene conditions so no additional camera control is necessary. The thermal imager inside the camera does not sense light like conventional cameras; it senses heat or temperature differences. As you experiment with the system during daylight and nighttime operation, you will notice differences in the picture quality; this is normal. The camera senses small “differences” in apparent radiation from the objects in view, and displays them as either white (or lighter shades of gray) for warmer objects, and black (or darker shades of gray) for colder objects. This is why you will see areas of other vessels under way such as exhaust stacks or outboard engines that appear white, while the rest of the vessel may appear dark (or cool). Scenes with familiar objects will be easy to interpret with some experience. The camera automatically optimizes the image to provide you with the best contrast in most conditions.

When using the Navigator as a navigation aid, keep an eye out for objects in the water that may appear only slightly warmer or colder than the surrounding water. You will notice that in some cases, as in Figure 3-10, you can see thermal reflections of warmer objects on the water. Thermal (radiant) energy emitted by these objects that were warmed by the sun during the day can be reflected by the water, in much the same way sunlight can be reflected. Do not assume that the objects you are looking for will be hot and therefore show up as white. Look for variations or anomalies in scenes that you think would normally be the same temperature.
