1.The rated loads are determined according to EN13000 rating on the condition that the machine is stationed on firm, level ground.
2.Be sure to remove the hanger sheaves block from the top boom when boom length is 36.6m or more.
3.To calculate the maximum load that can actually be lifted, deduct weight of all lifting accessories, such as boom hook and jib hook, from figures shown above.
4.Working radius is the horizontal distance from the slewing center to the center of gravity of a lifted load.
5.The counterweight is 120.8 ton. (Superstructure 102.8ton + Undercarriage 18.0 ton )
6.Be sure to fully extend the side frames before operating the machine.
7.Correlation between the number of reeved lines, maximum rated loads, hook weights are shown in the table below.
8.Capacities shown are in metric tons, and are based on 66% of minimum tipping loads with machine standing level on firm supporting surface under ideal job conditions.
9.Travel speed must be less than 0.4km/h and cautiously in order to avoid shock loading.
10.Position the load lower than 500mm (or as lower as possible) above the ground.
11.Position the lifted load in front of the crawler while traveling forward.
12.Engage the slewing lock and apply the slewing brake.

I- INTRODUCTION
Octans 3000 TI are the members of the Octans family dedicated to underwater applications
(down to 3000 m), featuring a specific waterproof housing in Titanium (13 kg total weight in
air).
Octans is both a fiber-optic survey-grade IMO-certified gyrocompass and a Motion Reference
Unit for marine applications that provides true-heading, roll, pitch, yaw, heave, surge, sway,
rates of turn and accelerations even in highly volatile environments. Octans is also certified to
meet to the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) for
gyrocompasses. Its heart consists of a small strapdown Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU),
which contains three accelerometers, three fiberoptic gyrometers, and a real-time computer.
The fiberoptic gyrometer is a recent technology generated to meet the requirements of the
aeronautical industry. It is totally inert, has no moving parts, and requires neither maintenance
nor recalibration. It is capable of a very wide dynamic range and can tolerate extremely
demanding mechanical environments without compromise to its performances.
Octans features the benefits of fiberoptic gyrometer technology and therefore shares the
advantages of not requiring maintenance or recalibration. Its strapdown IMU structure enables
straightforward, effective use with which no traditional mechanical gyrocompass can
compete. Octans is insensitive to physical shock, can be carried in a case, and is easy to
install. Strapdown equation processing enables the system to find North in less than 5 minutes
whatever the sea conditions may be. Notably, it can be powered up at sea, which is impossible
with a conventional gyrocompass.
In addition, Octans consumes only a small amount of power and directly outputs binary data
to NMEA 0183 standard, which can be reconfigured if desired, in addition to analog data
allowing easy interfacing with most available repeaters.
This document briefly describes how a subsea Octans works, and provides in more detail all
the possible interfaces which can be configured.

12/44
II-3 Computer description
The unit’s computer is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chip enabling rapid and complex
real-time computation. This computation relates particularly to angle integration using
quaternion algebra, a heading search algorithm and Coriolis force correction for vessel speed.
The heading search algorithm is specific to IXSEA and is suited to use with a strapdown IMU.
It enables the heading to be sought whether the system is in movement or not and without an
external reference point. It is based on (filtered) measurement of shifts in local gravity as the
Earth rotates. This is possible because, in relation to an inertial reference frame, local gravity
moves within a cone whose axis is related to the direction of the Earth’s rotational vector (its
North-South axis). Monitoring the movements in local gravity enables the axis of the cone to
be determined and therefore the direction of geographical North. More detail on the algorithm
used are given in appendix B.

III- MECHANICAL INTERFACE

The Octans 3000 TI is installed using six M6 screws on the base plate of the unit (see figure
2). Alignment is carried out by means of two centering pins located on the bottom plate of the
system, enabling precise “point/line” positioning. These pins are located on the Octans 3000
TI centerline as shown by grooves on the base plate of the unit. The mechanical tolerance in
the manufacture of Octans bottom plate allows to have 0,01° of accuracy on the centreline of
the unit.
NOTE: Useable configuration
All our subsea units are designed as a standard for use on a vertical configuration.
For a subsea use in an horizontal configuration, please consult IXSEA.

V. POSSIBLE SOURCES OF ERRORS

All gyrocompasses, Octans included, are sensitive to the speed of travel of the vessel and
current latitude. However these errors are small and as described below, latitude needs to be
entered in Octans only if the ship changes latitude very substantially, and very precise speed
measurement is not imperative.
V-1 Heading error due to the speed log

The heading output of all gyrocompasses is sensitive to the speed of travel of the vessel
towards North. The international standard (ISO 8728) defines that:
“Course error in degrees for a gyrocompass aligned north-south is determined by the

formula V/5 x the secant of the latitude, where V is the North component of the speed in
knots”.
This speed correction applies whatever the technology used in the gyroscopes: Indeed, the
linear speed of a boat travelling on the terrestrial “sphere” produces, with respect to the Earth
and therefore with respect to the inertial frame of reference, a rotational speed V/R, where R is
the radius of the Earth. This disturbs the measurement of the speed of rotation of the Earth and
therefore the detection of North.
Using the above formula, it is easy to compute the speed level at which the heading will begin
to demonstrate an error, if the accuracy of the heading measurement is known: Octans has an
dynamic accuracy of 0.2 degree x secant of latitude and therefore the speed in knots at which
an error greater than this appears is V Northmax = 0.2 x 5 3,2 knots.
Given that this is a relatively low value, it is generally recommended to enter the speed in
Octans to allow the unit to compensate automatically and indicate the correct heading. It can
be seen from the above formula however that the speed needs to be known only to a few
knots. In practice, a log which gives the speed of the vessel in relation to the water without
intrinsically taking into account the surface currents is more than satisfactory for such
compensation. Since all ships are equipped with GPS, the GPS speed can also be entered.
23/44
V-2 Error due to unreliable latitude data

Gyrocompasses are intrinsically sensitive to latitude. Heading error is itself dependent in
general terms on the secant of the latitude, which is fairly logical: the error tends theoretically
toward infinity when the gyrocompass approaches one of the geographical Poles. However, it
is not this error which is considered here, but rather intrinsic system inaccuracy when it has
unreliable data for the latitude of the current location.
Octans needs to know the latitude of its location in order to find geographical North rapidly. If
the latitude information input is incorrect, Octans will produce an error. This error is
nevertheless very small: The curve in the figure 4 shows the heading error in degrees
multiplied by the secant of the latitude versus the latitude of the current location, assuming
that the latitude entered in the Octans unit is incorrect by one degree. In practice, Octans needs
to know the latitude only to an accuracy of a 5 degrees or so. Please note that this dependency
is slightly more important at low latitudes and it is recommended below 30° to enter the
current latitude in the system with at worst a 3° accuracy.
In practice, it is possible to enter the latitude directly to Octans by using a GPS NMEA
sentence. You can also manually enter the latitude, please refer to the Octans Installation
Software.

VI- COMPUTATION OF HEAVE, SURGE, AND SWAY
VI-1 Definition of heave, surge, and sway

The heave, or vertical motion of the vessel, is determined by the double integration of the
vertical acceleration. Unfortunately, the vertical acceleration is measured with small bias due
to the physical limitations of the sensors. Because of this bias component, the double
integration, which represents vertical position, can diverge to infinity very quickly. The best
solution, used in every motion sensor, is to use an high-pass filter, which nulls out the bias
component effect. By definition, the vertical amplitude of a movement which is filtered to cut-
off the frequency around zero, is called "Heave". Respectively, the two horizontal positions
filtered to cut-off the frequency around zero, the surge and the sway.

Base Plate
Figure 5 : Axis directions for the heave, surge, and sway measurements
25/44
VI-2.2 Sign conventions
The axis directions are defined as follows :
• The heave is default defined positive up on a vertical axis pointing to the

direction of the connector.
• The surge is default defined positive on a horizontal axis parallel to the
centerline pointing to the direction of the circle located on the base plate.
• The sway is default defined positive on a horizontal axis pointing to the left of
the subsea Octans (on the port side of the vehicule, if the unit is “correctly”
mounted).
VI-3 Choice of the high-pass filter
VI-3.1 General behaviour of an heave, surge and sway filter

Since the heave (surge and sway) output is high-pass filtered, the output will always
return to zero when Octans is static. If Octans is moved over a given vertical distance,
the heave output will show a step change in position. If Octans remains static in the
new position, the output will gradually return to zero with a certain time constant
(which depends upon the adjustment parameter of the filter). If Octans is moved
following a sine or a combination of sinus, as usually observed with swell movements,
the heave (surge and sway) output will follow this movement, provided that the high-
pass filter is adapted to the swell frequency.
The heave, surge, and sway are computed by the double integration of the three
accelerations. The frequency response of Octans for the heave measurement, which is
the ratio between the measured heave and the exact vertical position, is :
3
é f ù
ê j f c úú
H( f ) = ê
ê
j úú
f where fc is the cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter.
ê1 + fc û
ë
26/44
VI-3.2 Guidance for tuning the filter

For practical and operational reasons, the heave (surge and sway) formula is
implemented inside octans as follows:
æ jT f ö
3
ç o ÷
H( f ) = ç ÷
ç 1 + jT f ÷
è o ø
Where "To" is the adjustment parameter that the operator can modify in order to adjust
the heave behaviour to the sea state. For more detail, please refer to the "Octans
Installation Software" or the "Repeater Software".
• How to choose To, the adjustment parameter ?

To correctly measure the swell movement using the heave output, it is important to
adjust To to a value quite larger than the longest period of the swell expected
during the operations.
The longer the swell period is, the higher To must be. However, if To is high, the
time to come back to zero in case of a sudden change in altitude increases. There
is therefore a conflict between the need to reduce the effects of errors, and the need for
an extended bandwith in order to maximize the operational ability of Octans.
A compromise is found when To is higher that 5.4 times the longest period of the
swell (in that case the amplitude response is 95 %).
Please refer the application note ‘’HEAVE TOOL’’ file included in the installation
and configuration software CD if you wish to assess the effect of different To settings.
27/44
VI-4 Use of lever arms for heave computation
VI-4.1 Multiple lever arms

Octans is able to calculate the heave of an external monitoring point. Effective from
firmware 4.1, three “secondary” monitoring points have been added. For each one of
those secondary monitoring points, data can be outputted with a completely different
setting including serial or analog I/O. In particular, at each location, a different
protocol can be set. This allows, for instance, to drive a multibeam on one side of a
vessel, to drive a single beam echosounder at an other location, to send analog heave
info to a sub-bottom profiler.

VI-4.2 Effect of a lever arm on the computation of heave

Octans can be located some distance away from the desired monitoring point. In this
case, the heave of the monitoring point can be very different from the one of the subsea
Octans, due to the lever arms.
Let us assume for example that the heave of the subsea Octans is null, but there is just
a pitch angle. If there is a lever arm between Octans and the desired monitoring point
in the direction of the subsea Octans, it is easy to see that the heave of the monitoring
point is not null, but equal to the tangent of the pitch angle times the lever arm distance
(see figure 7).

To avoid this effect, it is recommended to place the subsea Octans as close as possible
to the monitoring point.
Otherwise, it is possible to compensate the effects of lever arms by computation. To
perform this computation, it is necessary to know the exact place of the monitoring
point in the frame of the subsea Octans . It is possible to give the vector ( X1 , X2 , X3 )
to Octans using the Octans Installation Software. The definition of this vector follows
(see figure 8, next page).

VII- TRUE HEADING, ROLL AND PITCH

The true heading is the angle between the vertical plane oriented in the North direction and the
vertical plane passing through the subsea Octans. The vertical plane passing through Octans is
visualized by the centreline, oriented positive from the oval-shaped hole towards the
circular-shape hole located on the bottom plate.
The orientation of this angle is given in figure 9.

PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF OCTANS

1. THE TECHNOLOGY OF FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPES (FOGs)

FOGs do not use the rapidly spinning top employed in mechanical gyroscopes – in fact, they
have no moving parts at all. They do not use the gyroscope effect to measure the rotational
speeds of mobiles, but a radically different phenomenon – the so-called “Sagnac Effect”.
1.1. The Sagnac Effect

The Sagnac Effect is a physical phenomenon of relativistic type; understanding it requires a
good grasp of Special Relativity [1]. However, it is possible to provide a simplified (although
inaccurate) physical interpretation of the effect. Imagine a coil of optical fiber. Optical fiber,
as is well known, is a good vector for the propagation of light. This coil will in principle have
two exits at the two ends of the fiber. If we inject a light pulse into one end, it will come out at
the other after a duration equal to the time the light takes to cover the entire length of the
coiled fiber. If we now inject two pulses simultaneously into the two ends of the coil, they will
travel in opposite directions, pass each other in the middle and come out at opposite ends of
the coil. The time the light takes to travel through the coil will be the same irrespective of its
direction of travel, and the two pulses will therefore exit the fiber at the same time. If we now
imagine that the coil is rotating around its central axis, this movement will “help” one pulse
but “hold back” the other. It can be seen therefore that the two pulses will leave the coil at
different times. If we measure this temporal difference, we can deduce from it the speed of
rotation.
1.2. FOG description and performance

In practice, this difference is determined in optics using interferometry, which provides a
measurement of the phase difference between the two light waves travelling in opposite
directions within the coil. The interferometer is created by “closing” the coil on itself using an
optoelectronic component called an “Integrated Optical Circuit” (see figure 1).
40/44
Figure 1 : The “heart” of a FOG

41/44
The ingenious signal processing which follows requires a large number of optoelectronic
components if the information on optical phase, carrying information on rotation, is to be
converted into a digital signal useable by a calculator.
In practice, FOG performance gets better as it gets bigger, a fact which can be easily
understood in terms of the length of the coiled optical fiber: at any given rotational speed,
increased length will make it easier to separate the two light pulses temporally in the way
described above.
FOG performance can be measured in terms of many parameters, of which the most important
is known as bias stability, which means the stability of the zero point, or the intrinsic accuracy
of the measurement of rotational movement. It is usual to express bias stability in degrees per
hour (deg/hour), to make comparison easier with the Earth’s rotation rate, which is 15
deg/hour (1 revolution in 1 day, 360 degrees in 24 hours, giving 15 degrees per hour). In
practice, in order to measure the bias stability of a FOG, we measure the Earth’s rotation rate.
As an example, at the latitude of Paris, France (48,57°N), a FOG must measure 11.33
deg/hour (i.e. the projection of the rotation of the Earth onto the apparent vertical).
1.3. Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

In fact, a single FOG measures the projection of the instantaneous rotation along the main axis
of its coil, and three FOGs are necessary to measure the rotation rate vector.
This triad of gyrometers is usually combined with a set of three accelerometers. An

accelerometer enables measurement firstly of the instantaneous acceleration along a given axis
(and thereby, through successive integrations, speed and position), and secondly, knowledge
of apparent local gravity, and thereby the local vertical axis.
The compact assembly formed by the three gyrometers and the three accelerometers is called
an “Inertial Measurement Unit” (IMU) and forms the heart of any inertial reference system.
When an IMU is coupled to a calculator and an interface, the result is an “inertial reference
system”.
Octans is an inertial reference system capable of providing complete information on the

physical attitude of the mobile. The IMU comprises three FOGs (0.05 deg/hour bias stability)
and three accelerometers (± 500µg).
2. THE FIBER OPTIC GYROCOMPASS – UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES
By definition, a gyrocompass is a gyroscope-based system for the measurement of true

heading, that is to say, angular measurement of a position in relation to geographical North,
whatever the movements made by the object on which the gyrocompass is placed. This means
for example, that the gyrocompass must remain relatively insensitive to pitch and roll
movements, which may be at high levels on certain ships. In this way, the gyrocompass is to
be distinguished from North finders, which need to remain totally immobile in relation to the
Earth when the measurement is done.
42/44
Gyrocompass types currently in use comprise a gyroscope which aligns its angular moment
with that of the Earth and therefore exploit at a basic level the intrinsic properties of rotating
solids, and notably the principle of gyroscopic spins. A gyrocompass using FOGs must
therefore be based on a radically different concept. It is this concept that we explain below.
2.1. North finders

We can begin by assuming that our initial objective is to produce a “static” indicator of North,
that is to say, an indicator without any mechanical system (which means that we cannot rotate
a single horizontal-axis gyro in order to find the position which cancels out the signal, which
will correspond to the East). In order to measure the rotation vector of the Earth Ω, the first
thing we need is three gyros for the three spatial axes. However, that is not enough yet to
indicate a heading, because we lack information about the horizontality of the assembly. This
information can be obtained from a plumb line, electrolytic levels or accelerometers, by
making a measurement of the local gravity vector g. It then remains to project the Earth
rotation vector Ω onto the horizontal plane orthogonal to g to obtain the direction of
geographical North (figure 2). It can be seen that the intrinsic accuracy of this measurement
depends on the accuracy of the sensors (the bias of the gyros bgyro and the accelerometers bacc
for example) and the latitude L. It can be expressed in radians as:
bgyro bacc
∆Φ = Sec L + tan L
Ω g
Equatorial plane
North
ΩEarth
South
Figure 2: North Finder / basic concept
To achieve a North finder capable of rivalling commercially available conventional

gyrocompasses, accurate to a few tenths of a degree of the secant of the latitude, it is necessary
to select gyros offering accuracy to at least one-hundredth of terrestrial rotation rate (0.1 °/h),
such as the FOG 90 (0.05°/h) produced at IXSEA, and accelerometers precise to one-
hundredth of apparent gravity. In practice, the accelerometers used in octans provide better
performance than this in order to improve dynamic stability.
43/44
2.2. Gyrocompasses
The gyrocompass represents a step up from the above in terms of complexity. At this level,
the system has to withstand random movements – which may be violent, such as a ship’s pitch
and roll. The difficulty is twofold compared with the previous design: firstly, measurement of
terrestrial rotation is disturbed by enormously high rotational values (several orders of
magnitude greater than the Earth’s rotation rate), and secondly, measurement of gravity is
disturbed by centrifugal accelerations which may also prove to be relatively high.
The basic idea is therefore to abandon the direct use of the measurement of the Earth’s
rotation rate related to the gyroscopic frame, in favour of a “fixed” reference frame, which is
called the Inertial Space.
Described briefly, the system comprises three gyros and three accelerometers: the three gyros
enable the rotation rate of the moving object to be measured at any given instant (including
the Earth’s rotation rate), and the three accelerometers give the sum of the acceleration and
apparent gravity; these measurements are both related to a reference bound to the moving
object itself. The angular attitude of the moving object compared to the Inertial space is then
computed by integration of the rotation rate. The accelerometer data, which is the sum of the
acceleration and gravity, is then expressed within the Inertial Space. After filtering out the
acceleration values, it is possible to “observe” the slow drift of apparent gravity due to the
rotation of the Earth. In fact, it is easy to show that the apparent gravity expressed within the
Inertial Space defines a cone whose main axis is the rotational axis of the Earth (see figure 3).
Examination of the movement of g can therefore tells us where geographical North is without
need of an external reference.

gravity g in relation to the Inertial Space
