When HFO is used for maneuvering, the fuel must be heated sufficiently. This keeps
the viscosity at the fuel pump inlets in the range given in 0710−1, Fig. 1
Viscosity-Temperature Diagram.
The heating of the fuel oil system must stay set to on. Keep the temperature of the
cooling media as close as possible to the higher limits given for usual service (see
0250−1 Operating Data Sheet).
Because different remote controls can be connected to the engine controls, data
about the operation from the manoeuvring stand in the control room is not given here.
For this operation, see the documentation of the remote control manufacturers.
3. Usual Operation
3.1 Local Control Panel
See 4618−1 Local Control Panel and 4003−1 Engine Control.
3.2 Transfer and Accept Control from ECR Remote to Local
For the mode transfer from the remote control (REMOTE AUTO CONTROL) to the
local control (LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL), do the steps that follow:
1) At the control room console, push the button LOCAL MANUAL CONTROL.
2) At the WECS−9520 manual control panel (see 4618−1), push the button LOCAL
MANUAL CONTROL to get control.
3) Push the button FUEL CONTROL MODE.
Use this operation mode for long periods only when necessary e.g. until defects in the
speed control system, or other defects in the remote control can be repaired.
In installations with controllable pitch propellers or clutch couplings, more precautions
are necessary. There must be good communication between the bridge and the local
manoeuvring stand.
Note: An engineer must stay at the local manoeuvring stand. The engineer can
then make changes immediately if necessary.
