SSU8810 8200049 | Marine Sensor Signal Unit

Key Features and Advantages

Multi-Sensor Integration: The SSU8810 consolidates signals from diverse marine sensors into a single interface, reducing wiring complexity and installation time by up to 40% compared to traditional solutions.

Advanced Signal Conditioning: Features industrial-grade isolation (1500 VAC) and programmable filtering that eliminate electrical noise in harsh marine environments, ensuring measurement accuracy within 0.1% across all channels.

Vessel-Wide Compatibility: Native integration with KONGSBERG’s K-Chief and AutoChief systems plus protocol conversion capabilities for third-party equipment make the SSU8810 ideal for retrofit projects and newbuilds.

Condition Monitoring Intelligence: Embedded diagnostics continuously validate sensor health and signal integrity, providing early alerts for deviations from normal operating parameters before critical failures occur.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Preparation: Mount the SSU8810 in locations protected from direct water impingement despite its IP66 rating. Maintain minimum 50mm clearance around the unit for adequate cooling. Properly ground all shields and use marine-grade cabling for sensor connections. Apply anti-corrosion protection to mounting hardware.

Maintenance Recommendations: Perform calibration validation during annual drydocking using the K-Config software tools. Clean terminal blocks and inspect for salt accumulation quarterly. Replace desiccant cartridges in humid environments every 12 months. Verify firmware updates annually using KONGSBERG’s service bulletins for the SSU8810 series.
