vetus® Electronic engine remote control
3.4 Synchro mode
It is possible to command both engines at the same speed and direction with only one lever. This function can be activat-
ed only by the station which has the command.
With both levers in neutral position, press at the same time for 1,5 seconds the two “engine” push-buttons. The command
of both engines is now on the right lever. In Synchro operation mode, the LEDs “Warm/Sync” and “Command” are lighted
on.
From “Synchro” operation mode, if you position both levers in neutral, and press contemporaneously for 1,5 seconds the
two “Engine” push buttons, the command of each engine is again assigned to the respective lever and LED “Warm/Sync”
is switched off.
Synchronisation or de-synchronisation can be performed on the station which has the command, in case the RPMs be-
tween the two engines don’t differ more than 10%.
3.5 Fast Start-up Mode
This function is available on the first command station as described in section 7.6of this manual. When the configuration
FSM (Fast Start-up Mode) is enabled, the station with the FSM enabled, takes automatically the command at the power
on, only if both its levers are in neutral position.
If the station is not in neutral position, it will take the command as soon the neutral position will be reached by both its
levers.
3.6 Emergency lever
In case of emergency, the electronic system can be switched off quickly and the engines and gearboxes can be operated
directly by the mechanical emergency levers. If you have the connector panel in front of you, the right emergency lever
is for gearbox, the left emergency lever is for engine.
Emergency levers are fitted on the
control box. During the normal
functioning, the indexing plunger
device “A” is positioned as shown in
the picture on the left. In emergen-
cy situation, to unlock the mecha-
nism it is enough to rotate of 180°
the plunger “A” from its working
position. After this operation, the
mechanism (and the related push-
pull cable) can be operated manu-
ally using lever (B).
In order to engage again the system you must:
1. Rotate or assure that the mechanical indexing plunger device “A” is in lock position (like in the picture)
2. Place the emergency lever “B” in the centre of stroke and move it back and forward until you hear a “click”.
3.
Verify that after the “click” the lever is engaged (you cannot move it freely by hand). In case the emergency lever is still
free, repeat operations from point 1 to 3.
