SYSTEM OPERATION – Power Up
Page 44 of 80
When the hydraulic pump is turned back on the switched power supply will
return to the DSC. When the switch power supply returns, the solenoid
outputs will be turned on, the last selected station and mode (flashing
indicator) will be re-selected, changing the indicator to steady and the
station transfer function, if provided, will remain engaged. If the audio
output is still on it will be turned off at this time. If, while the pump was
stopped, the operator selected STANDBY/MANUAL mode the system will
simply remain in STANDBY/MANUAL.
3.2 STATION TRANSFER
The selection of steering modes and transfer of steering control between
stations is performed through the use of the various steering mode
buttons, the station transfer button and the station lock out indicator. Only
one steering station and mode can be in operation at any given time.
When a mode of steering control is selected at an active steering station
that station’s mode indicator will be on steady. Changing the mode of
steering control is done by pressing the button for the mode of steering
control desired. If no stations are set up as secured stations then
operators are free to take control at any station at any time.
Individual steering stations can be set up to include a station lock out
function in order to ensure that steering control is not inadvertently
transferred to an unauthorized station. Secured stations will have a
LOCKED OUT indicator which will show when control is not available at
that station.
When the operator wishes to transfer steering control from an active
station to a secured station, the TRANSFER button at the active station
must first be pressed. Upon pressing the active station’s TRANSFER
button, all LOCKED OUT indicators at secured stations will turn off and all
TRANSFER indicators will flash three times accompanied by three beeps
of the audio indicator. While the station transfer function is engaged
steering control remains with the active steering mode until such time that
another steering mode button is pressed.
To take steering control while the transfer function is engaged, the
operator must push the desired steering mode button at the desire control
station. Once a station takes over steering control the TRANSFER
indicators will turn off and all LOCKED OUT indicators at secured stations
will turn on except at the active station. If the operator initiates the transfer
function, it can be cancel from the active station by re-selecting a steering
mode at that station.
