Local Control Panel
1. General
The local control panel is attached to the engine at the free end and has the
components necessary for engine operation (see Fig. 1). Because the remote control
manufacturer supplies the local control panel, some components can look different
from those shown in Fig 2.
Some instructions for manoeuvring from the local control panel are given on the
nameplate for LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL (for more data, see 4003−1 Engine local
control and 0260−1 Maneuvering).
The WECS−9520 supplies electrical power to the manual control panels, which
operate independently from the remote control system. The data shown on the
manual control panels is always the same.
There are two manual control panels. One manual control panel is installed in the
local control panel (1, Fig. 1). The other manual control panel is installed in a console
in the engine control room (ECR).
Note: You can only use the function buttons on the manual control panel that
has control.
2. Installed Components
The local control panel has the components that follow:
D Rotary knob
D ME tachometer
D Emergency stop button
D Telegraph
D WECS−9520 manual control panel (for data, see paragraph 2.2).
You use the rotary knob to adjust the speed / fuel settings.
The ME tachometer shows the engine speed in the ahead or astern directions.
When you operate the emergency stop button, the engine stops immediately. The fuel
shutdown pilot valve 3.08 releases the pressure in the fuel rail. At the same time, the
fuel pump supply decreases to 0 (zero).
The telegraph system is part of the propulsion control system.
