5.5.2 Throttle
The throttle is a system designed to control the revolutions of the engines
and the speeds to the gear boxes by means of an electric signal.
The throttle have following performance features and functions.
• Sequence setting of gear box with engine speed.
• Start interlocking.
• Low/high idle run.
• Synchronization of engines for several propellers.
• Trolling solenoids control.
• Emergency control against back run.
• Gear box oil pressure interlocking (optional).
These features and operations facilitate the use of the throttles.
• Helm station indicator.
• Six two-coloured LEDs indicating the status and operation mode of con-
trol system.
• Acoustic transducer for indication of system status.
Advanced control modes
The throttle provides different advanced control modes:
• EASIDOCK: mode giving the answer for a safe action of the gear box
and ensuring a easy and accurate manoeuvrability during mooring phas-
es with limited room.
• AUTOTROLL: mode keeping the propeller revs per minute constant
when a complete range of shaft speed controls is available.
• WARM UP: heating mode increasing the engine rpm when the transmis-
sion is stalling on idle.
• ONE LEVER: one-lever mode which allows activating more propellers
with gear shift and acceleration by means of a single lever control.
