The Kongsberg HD13T21-KMC-EP1-CACP-500028 is a marine-grade panel computer and display terminal designed by Kongsberg Maritime (developed in collaboration with Hatteland Technology). Installed on commercial ships, offshore supply vessels, and specialized maritime platforms, it serves as a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) terminal for Kongsberg’s K-Pos Dynamic Positioning (DP), K-Bridge Integrated Navigation, and K-Chief Vessel Automation platforms.

Primary System Functions
-
High-Visibility Bridge Operations: Features high-contrast optical bonding, anti-reflective glass coating, and full-range dimming capabilities (from 0% to 100%) to support bright daylight navigation as well as night-vision bridge operations.
-
Deterministic Real-Time HMI: Serves as a direct operator panel for controlling vessel propulsion, dynamic positioning thrusters, navigation radar overlays, and alarm monitoring parameters.
-
Low-EMC Maritime Compliance: Engineered to satisfy strict IEC 60945 electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, preventing radio frequency interference with sensitive onboard marine radar, GPS, and communication systems.
-
Industrial Marine Reliability: Built with fanless or ruggedized thermal management, solid-state storage drive (SSD) memory, and high-shock/vibration resistance tailored for harsh marine environments.
Servicing & Maintenance Guidelines
-
Optical Coating & Screen Care: Clean the front glass using only soft microfiber cloths and approved optical marine screen cleaners. Never use abrasive pads, ammonia-based, or solvent-based chemicals that can damage anti-reflective coatings.
-
Console Panel Gasket Integrity: When flush-mounting or replacing the terminal in a helm console, verify that the rear perimeter sealing gasket is seated properly to maintain its IP66 water ingress protection level against helm condensation and liquid spills.
-
Power Supply Isolation: Ensure both main and emergency marine power feeders (24 V DC / 230 V AC) are fully isolated and tagged out before disconnecting rear cable harnesses or removing the unit from its mounting bracket.
-
Cable Strain Relief: Secure all rear interface cables (Ethernet, serial control, power, grounding straps) with proper strain-relief clamps to prevent pin degradation caused by engine room and hull vibration.
