‰ 

Only competent vessel operator may carry the vessel operation work 

1.2 W

ARNINGS

 

1.2.1 T

HRUST AT PROPULSOR

 

During this test can propulsor give thrust. 

1.2.2 H

YDRAULIC PRESSURE

 

There can be pressure at propulsor lubrication system. Give the pressure come out 
before you open plugs totally. 

1.2.3 O

IL LEAKAGE

 

Do not open the protection tube, because then the oil can come out from propulsor. 

1.2.4 H

OT WATER

 

Be careful with hot water. 

1.2.5 R

OTATING OR MOVING MACHINERY

 

‰ 

Coming into contact with this machinery is extremely dangerous and may cause 
death or severe injury. 

1.2.6 AC

 AND AUXILIARY POWER CIRCUITS

 

‰ 

The components of the AC and power circuits and terminals are live, when the 
equipment is connected to supply potential. Coming into contact with this 
voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury. 

‰ 

The motor control unit SMU has one motor supply.  

‰ 

The motor terminals and brake terminals are live when the frequency converter 
is connected to mains, even if the motor is not running. 

‰ 

The frequency converter has a large capacitive leakage current. 

1.2.7 L

OW VOLTAGE CONTROL CIRCUITS

 

‰ 

The control I/O terminals are isolated from the AC control or power circuits. 
However, the relay outputs and other I/O terminals may have a dangerous 
control voltage present even the equipment is disconnected from the AC control 
or power supply.

AFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

2.1 I

NSTALLATION

 

‰ 

The equipment and machinery is meant for fixed installation. 

2.2 C

ONNECTION

 

‰ 

Do all connections only when there is no voltage supply on! 

‰ 

Do not do any temporary connections! 

‰ 

Before connecting the supply voltage on, be sure the units are clean and dry! 

‰ 

Take care that nobody is working or touching the electric connections, when 
you connect the supply voltage, open the circuit breakers before you connect 
the shipside supply! 

2.3 M

EASUREMENTS

 

‰ 

Do not perform any measurements when the equipment is connected to AC 
control or power circuits supply potential. 

‰ 

After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains, wait until the fan 
stops and indicators on the keypad go out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing 
any work on power or AC side connections. Do not even open the cover before 
this time has expired. 

‰ 

Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of the frequency 
converter. This test should be made special procedure. 

‰ 

Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, disconnect the motor 
cable from frequency converter. 

‰ 

Do not touch the IC or other electronic circuits on circuit boards. Static voltage 
discharge may damage the components. 

‰ 

Before connecting the AC control or power circuits supply potential, make sure, 
that all covers and cabinet doors are closed. 

2.4 E

ARTHING

 

‰ 

All equipment bodies or frames should be always earthed with an earthing 
conductor connected to the earthing terminal.

UBRICATION OIL TEMPERATURE ALARM TEST

 

This test will be started with a propulsor, which voltage supplies are on, then the 
voltage supply switch SS01 is on and local control SC01 is switched to remote control 
also electric supplies for pumps and steering gears are on. 

The vessel alarm and automation systems are running.

EST PROCEDURE

 

‰ 

Open the transmitter element fastening nut 
from protection tube with pairs of 27 mm key. 

‰ 

Draw the temperature element out from tube. 

‰ 

Put the element into can of hot water (>75 
deg C) (do not put the cable into can, 
because it can disturb). Or use separate 
heater to heat the sensor over 75 deg C. 

‰ 

Oil temperature alarm will appear. 

‰ 

Let the water (heater) cool down slowly and 
follow the meter. 

‰ 

At 70…75 deg C the alarm will disappear. 

‰ 

You can follow the temperature at SED

NDING THE TEST

 

‰ 

Dry the sensor and put it back to protection tube and tight the nut. 

‰ 

Stroke the element lightly with grease 

‰ 

Put the element back to protection tube 

‰ 

Tighten the nuts smoothly with pairs of 27 mm key

UBRICATION OIL LEVEL ALARM TEST

 

The user is responsible for periodically carrying out a functional test or a visual check. 
The function of the contacts can be tested with the unit in situ or removed, by moving 
the float manually or by filling the container. Care must be taken to ensure that the 
functional test does not trigger any process operations. 

A visual check is made of components in the unit that are exposed to the liquid stored 
in the tank, its vapors or condensate to ascertain whether any signs of corrosion exist. 
This inspection can only be carried out from inside the storage tank or after the unit has 
been removed. 

This test will be started with a propulsor, which voltage 
supplies are on, then the voltage supply switch SS01 is on 
and local control SC01 is switched to remote control also 
electric supplies for pumps are on. 

The vessel alarm and automation systems are running. 

This test procedure includes lubrication oil level alarm tests 
for propulsor. The lubrication oil level switch is located on 
the rear end of the propulsor. The oil control unit has plug 
for testing the level switches.
