SERVICES
End-to-end technical support — from first consultation to dockside delivery and beyond.
TropicShield doesn't just sell hardware. We provide a complete technical service from vessel assessment through installation oversight and ongoing maintenance. Every engagement is backed by our Nassau-based team — no overseas support queues, no mail-order friction.
Dockside Helm Assessment
The right hardware starts with the right diagnosis.
We come to your vessel. Our technician reviews your existing helm layout, measures available dash space, evaluates ambient light conditions, and documents your current video sources and navigation equipment. The result is a precise specification — exact display sizes, brightness requirements, mounting approach, and input configuration — before any purchase is made.
- ✓Helm layout diagram with display placement
- ✓Brightness and optical bonding recommendation
- ✓Input source inventory (radar, chartplotter, FLIR, AIS)
- ✓Mounting and cabling route plan
- ✓Formal itemized quotation
Bench Testing & Configuration
Every unit tested before it touches your vessel.
All hardware undergoes a minimum 24-hour bench test at our Nassau staging facility before delivery. We verify display brightness, touch calibration, input switching, power supply stability, and firmware version. For marine computers, we pre-install and configure the operating system, TimeZero charting software, and any required drivers — so the unit is ready to connect on arrival.
- ✓24-hour burn-in test with full load
- ✓Brightness and uniformity verification
- ✓Input source switching test
- ✓Firmware update to current stable release
- ✓OS and software pre-installation (TZ computers)
Installation Oversight
Professional integration, not just delivery.
For complex installations — multi-display bridge builds, tactical vessel fit-outs, or superyacht glass bridge retrofits — we provide on-site installation oversight. Our technician works alongside your vessel's electrician or yard team to ensure correct mounting, proper cable management, correct power supply sizing, and full system integration testing.
- ✓On-site technical supervision
- ✓Power supply sizing and wiring verification
- ✓Display mounting and cable management
- ✓Full system integration test (all sources)
- ✓Crew handover and operational training
