Identication of Instruments
The instruments and sensors are identied by a
position number which is made up of a combina-
tion of letters and an identication number:
Measured variables
First letters:

PDI Pressure difference indication, local
PDS Pressure difference switch
PDT Pressure difference transmitter
PI Pressure indication, local
PS Pressure switch
PT Pressure transmitter
ST Speed transmitter
TC Thermo couple (NiCrNi)

Functions
Secondary letters:
A Alarm
AH Alarm, high
AL Alarm, low
C Control
H High
I Indication
L Low
R Recording
S Switching
X Unclassied function
Y Slow down
Z Shut down
Repeated signals
Signals which are repeated for example for each cylin-
der or turbocharger are provided with a sufx number
indicating the location, ‘’ for cylinder , etc.
If redundant sensors are applied for the same measur-
ing point, the sufx is a letter: A, B, C, etc.
Examples:
TI 8005 indicates a local temperature indication (ther-
mometer) in the fuel oil system.
ZS 2A C and ZS 2B C indicate that there are
two position switches in the manoeuvring system, A
and B for control of the main starting air valve position.
PT 850 I AL Y indicates a pressure transmitter locat
-
ed in the control air supply for remote indication, alarm
for low pressure and slow down for low pressure.
