Preface

Congratulated with the purchase of the

Marad

maintenance system

Marad Standard.

Marad has been developed in close consultation with its users and that is the reason why it excels in operational convenience.

A manual is normally not necessary. However as Marad is always developing further, improvements and new functions are documented in a solid reference-book.

We hope this manual will match your expectations. We keep us wholeheartedly recommended for comments and recommendations towards this guidebook or one of our applications

Important! The use of an application available from the enclosed disks/ cdrom and/or installed on the computer, is subject to the terms and conditions of the licence agreement that is incorporated in this manual.

Read the licence agreement before you start using the software.

By using this software you implicitly accept the terms and conditions of the licence agreement.

Installation

System requirements

Make sure that your computer fulfils the minimal system requirements which are mentioned below before installing Marad.

Component Minimum rewuirements

Processor Pentium® of gelijkwaardig

Operating system

Hard drive

Memory

Windows NT4/2000/ME/XP/Vista/Windows 7

Installation procedure

1. Close all applications.

2. Put the cd-rom from the Marad box into the cd-rom station. This is a cd-rom that runs automatically, which means that Windows finds the cd-rom and starts the auto run file of Marad. If not, start your

Windows Explorer and double click at Setup.exe from the CD.

3. When the auto screen of Marad appears, click on the button “Install” to start the application. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

4. When the installation has been completed, take the cd-rom from the station and put it away in a safe place.

In stead of answering the questions during the installation by clicking with the mouse, you also can confirm the questions by clicking at the button Enter. Marad then will take the most logical decisions and that will accelerate the installation.



Marad installing on a network

Install Marad on the server. After that, a Marad-folder is created with the specific folder of your ship, i.e.

G:\Marad\Demoship. A shortcut is placed on the desktop to activate Marad.

For client computers within the network, Marad Client Setup has to be installed on each client. This setupfile can be downloaded from the website www.marasoft.nl

by ‘Downloads’.

After installing of Marad Client Setup, you can make a shortcut on the desktop of the client computer to the file Marad.exe on the server.

The Marad folder on the server must be shared to enable users of client computers to use Marad on the server.

A shared folder has an icon as shown here.



Path to the application / folder structure

During the installation you will be asked where you want to put the application.

If you do not enter any specific location, press “Enter” and the application will automatically be placed in the folder Marad, on the C disk.

Of course you also can choose a folder yourself or make a folder in which you want to put the program.

The installation procedure will automatically create a folder “Marad” with a sub folder with the name of the ship, in this example: Debora. The ship folder is divided in six sub-folders:

Archives

At the start of a new year, Marad will put the maintenance of the last year in this folder.

In this way the summary will not become too long and so the application will not slow down.

Backup

Documents

Pictures

From the menu Export & Import you back-up your data here.

In this folder you can store any type of files, which can be linked to a job card of a maintenance point.

This is the folder for pictures.

Purchase In this folder requests for quotations and purchase orders are stored.

ShipsAdmin See page 34.

Explanation of menu functions

Export & Import

With this function you copy the data (Backup) from the computer to a specified location or vice versa.

Data can be exported from:

- Ship to office

- Office to ship

Users can work in Marad in the office and on board at the same time without one system overwriting the other during data transport.

The ship always exports all data to a file and sends it to the office or to an external storage medium. This export is a compressed file named marad4.toc. It contains all information from all Marad modules, along with the contents of any Marad sub folders if desired.

Office can also export all data to a file, but if that file is imported onboard, it will overwrite all the data there. All changes (alterations) made at the office in the Marad system are stored in separate files. When exporting alterations, the changed data will be sent to a compressed file, named marad4.tac so that it can be sent to the ship.

From the ship

Once you click on Export & Import on the menu, you will see a pop-up screen like the one here on the left.

You can choose from:

‘’All data’’ or ‘’Office alterations’’

The next page explains the “All data” option.

After you select“All data” you will be asked to choose “Export” or

“Import”. In most cases, the ship exports its data.

Therefore, we will first select Export.

The dates of the most recent export and import are displayed here.

After selecting “Export” you will have a number of choices:

-

Marad Update Server > see previous slide

-

Choose whether to include subfolders in the file to be sent. The file will almost always be too large if you are sending the file via email.

Therefore, you can choose to only send new files.

-

Location the data is to be sent to, in this case choose Email.

-

To complete the action, click on the “Export data” button to place the data, in this case, in the Outbox of your email software.

After selecting “Import”, you will choose where to import the data from::

-

USB key

-

Back-up location

-

Email

After clicking on the “Import data” button, the data will be imported into the system.

Marad User Manual, version 4.30

8

Note: If you choose Import All data when you are on the ship, all existing data in the system will be overwritten!

The On/Off setting is protected via Settings/Users/Permissions /General /Edit General Settings

When selecting ‘’Office alterations’’ the Export & Import menu will automatically change to Import since the ship obviously cannot create any office alterations, the ship can only import them.

The date of the most recent import is displayed again.

You can now choose where the office alterations must come from. Click on the “Import data” button to process the changes.

From Office:

Data transport from the office functions exactly the same as from the ship, just the other way round.

Upon choosing ‘’All data’’ you will first be asked whether you wish to Export or Import a file.

If you choose Export, Marad will ask whether to include the subfolders or whether to only send new files.

If you choose ‘’Office alterations’’ the menu will automatically change to the Export function.

Why copy data?

It is recommended to make a backup to avoid the loss of data for whatever reason, such as damage to the hard disk. It is also useful in case a maintenance system has been set up onshore. The data can then be copied on-board. It is also possible to copy the data from the on-board computer to a quayside or shipping company computer. You will then have all the data available in a number of locations and it will be possible to keep the system up to date from these locations.

Marad Data Synchronisation (MDS)

The Marad Data Synchronisation service (MDS) automates the import and export of Marad data on board and in the office. An additional subscription is payable for the MDS service. In order to optimise synchronisation speed and to keep data streams as small as possible, MDS only synchronises Marad data.

Documents in the subfolders of the Marad vessel folder are not included.

On/Off

This allows you to switch automatic data synchronisation on or off.

Proxy server

The name or IP address of a proxy server can be input here, if the internet connection goes via a proxy server.

Save

This saves the On/Off status and the proxy server (if any).

Operation:

On board

: If MDS is "On", then a check will be carried out on start-up to see if any new office alterations (file marad4.tac) are ready on the MDS server. Where this is the case, MDS will download this data first following log-in. Marad will then continue with the start-up sequence.

If Marad has been closed on board and on-board alterations have been carried out, then MDS will send the complete

Marad data file (marad4.toc file) to the MDS server.

In the office

: If MDS is "On", then a check will be carried out on start-up to see if any new vessel data (file marad4.toc) is ready on the MDS server. Where that is the case MDS will download this data, and Marad will then continue with the start-up sequence.

If Marad is closed down at the office then MDS will send any office alterations (marad4.tac) to the MDS server so that they can be downloaded by the vessel using MDS.

Sync now

Activating this function sends an immediate command to send the Marad data at that instant, and to look on the MDS server to see if new data is available. This is intended particularly for vessels which do not have a permanent connection and wish to synchronise their data on command.

Clear log

This empties the log file history.

Initial synchronisation

 Ensure that the On board/On office setting is correct (Settings menu).

 It is not necessarily required, but in order to make a clean start it is recommended that "Office alterations" should be emptied. The "Export and Import" menu should be opened for this purpose. Click three times on the text "Transfer Data", and then on the red line "Delete office alterations".

 MDS is then ready for use.

Runninghours

Marad must know the actual running time in hours for the engines/machines for the benefit of the maintenance points which are based on the number of running hours.

Marad wants to know at least once a week what the running hours are.

The ‘Running hours’ light for a certain machine will remain red for as long as the running hours have not been specified. The light will turn green once all the running hours have been entered.

The window shown opposite is displayed by clicking the ‘Runninghours’ button.

In the ‘Actual run hours’ field, enter the running hours as given on the engine’s/machine’s meter. The running hours will be displayed in yellow.

With this button you can add a new engine/machine for which a record of the running hours must be kept. Confirm the name by pressing the Enter key.

Maintenance points

When you activate a subgroup, Marad first displays the maintenance points for the subgroup. The tabs can be used to complete the data chart, add parts and view history

The tab ‘’Add Part’’ will bring up the following menu, which you can use to add a maintenance item.

Description; In the white field you briefly describe the maintenance point, for example 'Refresh oil' or you select a previously entered point with the black arrow selection button.

Type of point: Here you can choose whether it concerns a normal maintenance point with an interval, a repair point, maintenance point for the next docking or a once-only maintenance point.

Downtime: here you can fill in how long the work usually takes.

Fixed: A maintenance point can be fixed, which means that a maintenance point always starts to calculate again from its starting date/due date when it is checked off. Therefore checking off too early or too late does not have any consequences for the number of times that the maintenance point is reported by Marad.

Due period: here you set how long a point may stay ‘’orange’’ before it is reported as overdue (Red).

Set Interval: here you enter when the maintenance point has to be carried out (for example, every minute, every hour etc.). When ticking the running hours you must select the machine to which the interval must be linked.

Startdate or Duedate: With Startdate you notify once when the maintenance has been carried out for the last time. You position the mouse in the field of the date, week or possibly the number of running hours and change the date and/or number of running hours with the scroll arrow on the keyboard. This is done in steps of 25 hours. When you press the Shift-key steps of 250 hours are taken.

Click on the name Startdate to set it on the current date.

Memo By ticking Memo you can set how much time in advance the maintenance must be reported. It is hereby also possible to show a text.

Max. interv: A maintenance point can always be entered according to time (weeks/months) or according to running hours. However, there is also a possibility to let the interval run according to running hours and according to time. For this tick the field ‘’Max. interv’’ and set the maximum time with the scroll arrows of the keyboard.
