High voltage safetywarning

The voltages used to power this equipment arepotentially lethal. Even 110 volts can kill.

Whenever possible, the following precautionarymeasures should be taken before any work iscarried out inside the equipment:

• Switch off all high-voltage power supplies.

• Check the operation of any door interlocksand any other safety devices.

• Completely discharge all high-voltagecapacitors.

It should be noted that interlocks and safetydevices are normally located only at regularaccess points, and high voltages may be exposedduring dismantling.

NEVER WORK ALONE ONHIGH-VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT!

FIRST AID IN THE EVENT OFELECTRIC SHOCK

Normally, even a high voltage electric shock will

not kill instantly. The victim can still be revived

even when his breathing and heart-beat have

ceased.

Could YOU save someone’s life? In the event of

electric shock, the correct actions, performed

quickly may well save the victim’s life. Makesure you know what to do!

Immediate action

While shouting for help, remove the source of

power from the victim. Switch off the supply ifpossible, or using a dry, non-conductive material

(rubber gloves, broom handle etc.) to insulate

yourself, separate the victim from the source. Ifthe voltage exceeds 1000 volts, switch off thesupply and be ready to catch the victim. Takecare- do not become a victim yourself.

Commence first aid on the spot. Continue to shoutfor assistance till someone arrives.

1 Lay the victim flat on his back and loosenany tight clothing (collar, tie, belt etc.).

2 Open his mouth and check for and removeany false teeth, chewing gum etc.

3 Check if the victim is breathing. If not,check if his heart is beating. The pulse isnormally easily found in the main arteries of theneck, either side of the throat, up under the chin.

If his heart is beating but he is not breathing,commence ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. If the

victim’s heart is not beating, commence

EXTERNAL CARDIAC MASSAGE (ECM).Continue to shout for assistance till someone

arrives.

EXTERNAL CARDIAC MASSAGE

1 Kneel beside the victim. Place the heel ofone hand in the centre of his chest, at a positionhalf way between the notch between thecollar-bones at the top of his chest, and the dip inthe breast-bone at the base of his rib cage. Placethe other hand on top of the first.

2 Keeping the arms straight and using yourentire weight, press down rapidly so that thebreast bone is depressed four- five cm, thenrelease the pressure. Repeat rhythmically at a rateof one cycle per second. This will be hard work,

but keep going. His life depends on YOU. Do notworry about breaking his ribs - these will heal ifhe survives.

Page 6: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION1 Kneel besides the victim’s head. Place onehand under his neck and lift, allowing his head tofall back. This will lift his tongue and open the airpassage in his throat.

2 Place the palm of the hand on his foreheadto maintain the ”chin-up” position.

3 Using the index finger and thumb of thesame hand, pinch the victim’s nostrils closed.Open his mouth.

4 Take a deep breath and cover his mouthwith yours. Blow steadily into his lungs to expandhis chest. Remove your mouth from his to allowthe air to escape from his chest. You should beable to see his chest deflate.

5 Repeat the ”inflation-deflation” cycle at arate of about 12 cycles per minute till the victimbegins to breath normally again.

COMBINING EMC AND ARTIFICIALRESPIRATIONIf you are alone, perform ONE cycle of artificial

respiration for every FIVE cycles of EMC. This

will be hard work, but keep going. His lifedepends on YOU!

If there are other people available to help, one

should perform the EMC while one performs theartificial respiration for every five cycles of EMC.

It will be much more efficient with two people.

Once the victim’s heart is beating and he is

breathing, roll him onto his side and support him

in that position. As consciousness returns he mayvomit, and this will allow any liquid to drain out

of his mouth.

Remove the victim to a hospital as soon as

possible, but do not interrupt the artificial

respiration and EMC cycles till his heart beat andbreathing returns.

If started quickly and performed correctly, the

resuscitation methods described will keep a

sufficient volume of oxygenated blood flowingtrough the victims body to allow full recovery.

Proficiency in the resuscitation methods can onlybe achieved trough training. All personnel

concerned should attend courses on a regular

basis. Remember, someone’s life could depend onyou.

1.3 Design principles

1.3.1 General

Alarm groups

All alarms and monitored values are divided into alarm groups.Any alarm can only be part of one group. Each alarm group has adedicated button on the operator control panel. If only standardpersonal computer keyboard is provided the operator control panelis displayed on the colour graphics display and works in the sameway as the physical panel. Active alarms are indicated by a flashinglight (unacknowledged alarm) or steady light (acknowledgedalarm).

Alarm types

Alarm detection for analogue signals

The following functions are included:

• Instrument failure alarms.

• Low-low process alarms with or without action (slow-down).

• Low process alarms.

• High process alarms.

• High-high process alarms with or without action (slow-down).

• Return to normal detection with dead-band to avoid alarmfluctuations.

• Adjustable filter factors to filter fluctuations in the incomingsignals.

• Time delay of alarm triggering and return to normal messages.

Alarm detection for on/off (two state) signals

The following functions are included:

• High process alarms (open or closed).

• Return to normal detection.

• Time delay of alarm triggering and return to normal messages.

Alarm detection for on/off signals with line check

The following functions are included:

• High process alarms (open or closed).

• Line broken alarm.

Some alarms are conditional and will be inhibited when a specifiedcondition is present. This function is accomplished by defining asignal as an inhibit source for a specified alarm or a specified groupof alarms. An adjustable time delay is available to extend theinhibit situation for each signal.

Alarm indication

The four last alarms detected by the system will be indicated in thelower right corner of the colour graphics display. The alarm tag,description and state will be displayed. The following states areused by the system.

• On/off signal open contact alarm: OPEN

• On/off signal closed contact alarm: CLOSED

• On/off signal broken alarm: BROKEN

• On/off signal short alarm: SHORT

• Analogue signal instrument failure, signal value outside lowrange: IFL (Instrument Failure Low)

• Analogue signal instrument failure, signal value outsidehigh range: IFH (Instrument Failure High)

• Analogue signal high alarm: HIGH

• Analogue signal low alarm: LOW

• Analogue signal high-high alarm: HI-HI

• Analogue signal low-low alarm: LO-LO

• On/off or analogue sensor taken out of scanning: OFFSC

• On/off or analogue signal return from alarm: RETURN

To visually distinguish between the alarm states different colourshave been used. The meaning of the different colours are listedbelow:

• Normal state: GREEN

• Alarm state, not acknowledged: RED with asterisk (*)

• State changed from not acknowledged to normal: RED

• Alarm state, acknowledged: YELLOW

1.3.2 Building blocksThe DataChief C20 is a modular system that allows us to meetindividual ship owners requirements using standard modules. Themain building blocks of the DataChief C20 are:

• Distributed Processing Units: Their main functions are tomonitor analogue or digital sensors and to provide analogue anddigital output to different devices. A number of differentDistributed Processing Units are available to meet specificcontrol and monitoring applications.

• Remote Operator Stations: Their main functions are toreceive alarms and to allow monitoring and control of thesystem. They can display mimic diagrams, allow control of theWatch Calling System and printing of various logs. They alsoenable the operator access to Distributed Processing Units forinspection of variables, local operation of equipmentadjustment of parameters etc.

• Local Operator Stations: Their main functions are to enablethe operator local access to Distributed Processing Units forinspection of variables, local operation of equipmentadjustment of parameters etc.

• Watch Bridge Units: Their main functions are to indicateengine room alarms on the bridge while in bridge control andto accept the transfer of machine watch responsibility to andfrom the bridge.

• Watch Cabin Units: Their main functions are to indicateengine room alarms in the engineer on duty’s cabin and in thepublic quarters while in bridge control.

• Dual redundant Local Area Network: Used forcommunication between the Remote Operator Stations andother PC based equipment. Each unit is connected to twocompletely separate Local Area Networks (LAN) formaximum redundancy.

• Dual redundant CAN-bus: Used for communication betweenthe Distributed Processing Units. Each unit is connected to twocompletely separate CAN-buses (CAN - Control AreaNetwork) for maximum redundancy.

• Dual Process Segment Controller: The dPSC is a dual twochannel CAN gateway. In most cases the two channels areworking in parallel on redundant CAN lines. The mainfunctions are to process messages from the a local CAN-bussegment and send them on the global process bus, where theyare available for other dPSC’s and System Gateways.

• Process Segment Starcoupler: Used to segment the CAN-busso that a short circuit or broken line in one segment will notaffect the functions in the other segments.

• System Gateway: Connects two CAN lines to two Local AreaNetwork lines. The main purpose is to receive messages fromthe two process buses running CAN, and update the RemoteOperator Station database.

Different selections of these units are used to configure eachindividual system. DataChief C20 is a fullymicroprocessor-based system. It is decentralised for safety andease of installation but operation is centralised using RemoteOperator Stations (ROS). Each or a group of DistributedProcessing Units can be connected to a Local Operator Station(LOS) containing display and keyboard for back-up/localoperation.

1.3.3 Decentralised system architecture

The heart of the system is a small family of different intelligent I/Ounits called Distributed Processing Units. These communicatewith each other on a redundant high capacity process-bus. Allmonitoring and automation functions are carried out by theDistributed Processing Units, while the centralised RemoteOperator Stations provide the Human Machine Interface.

Each Distributed Processing Unit type has a specific capacity innumber and type of analogue or digital input and output channels.The number of channels varies from 8 to 32.

Page 25: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

7AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

To configure the tasks for a specific Distributed Processing Unitthe appropriate software and parameters are downloaded into theunit. This allows some Distributed Processing Units to performalarm functions, some control functions, some safety, or anycombination of these. This makes it easy to separate automationsystem functions.

The process-bus used for communication between the DistributedProcessing Units in the DataChief C20 is the Controller AreaNetwork (CAN) bus. The CAN-bus has a very high reliability. Forsystems with a high number of Distributed Processing Units or forother design reasons, System Gateways (SGW) may be added tothe CAN network. These units provide the necessary segregationof the automation system between for instance the differentsections of an alarm and monitoring system. The System Gatewaysdo not lower system performance or limit the possibilities forlocating operator stations.

The DataChief C20 is designed to accept both a “grounded” ora “floating” earth installation. The latter installation method isrequired by SOLAS Regulation 45 for some vessels types.Floating earth allows coexistence with other systems, and groundleakage detection.

DataChief C20 / Instruction manual

8 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

The Distributed Processing Units have been designed forimmunity against single failures. Each Distributed Processing Unithas an internal three way galvanic isolation between power,communication and input/output channels. If a unit fails this willnot affect the power source, communication bus or damage thesensors. The Built In System Test will detect the error and warn theoperator. Failures to the process-bus, cabling or connected sensorswill also be detected by the Built In System Test.

Exchange of a faulty Distributed Processing Unit can be donewithout turning the power off the DataChief C20. The procedureis simply to disconnect and remove the faulty unit and then mountand connect a replacement. The operator then requests the systemto replace the module, software is automatically downloaded andthe Distributed Processing Unit starts operating.

All Distributed Processing Unit types have been qualifiedaccording to the latest revision of the IACS E10 test procedure,satisfying the requirements for placement in the most demandinglocations. All Distributed Processing Units can be mounteddirectly on diesel engines or similar locations without shockabsorbers. Only Ingress Protection (IP) may be needed. TheDistributed Processing Units are CE marked as required for someEuropean Union flagstate vessels. They also meet therequirements to use the “Wheel Mark” defined by the EuropeanUnion Maritime Directive (EMD), satisfying all the newElectromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements.

1.3.4 Centralised operation

DataChiefC20 is operated through a number of Remote OperatorStations. These are normally located in the Engine Control Room.Additional stations may be located in the wheelhouse, cargocontrol room, damage control room, ship’s office or other parts ofthe vessel. The Remote Operator Stations are normally connectedto the Distributed Processing Units trough a Dual RedundantControl Area Network.

The Remote Operator Stations are fitted with colour graphicdisplays and are operated either using a standard PC keyboard andmouse or through a purpose built Operator Control Panel.

The Remote Operator Stations provides the operator with anumber of standard display pictures containing information aboutthe engine and surrounding equipment. Control of any of theDistributed Processing Units can be performed from the RemoteOperator Stations. Full monitoring and alarm facilities areprovided in both machinery space and Engine Control Room.

Page 27: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

9AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Advanced facilities can also be provided for unmanned machineryspace, and the watch-calling system allows automatic calling ofduty engineers. This allows both machinery space and enginecontrol room to be safely left unmanned, while the machinerywatch is carried out from the bridge.

All Remote Operator Stations are Windows based personalcomputers; type approved for maritime use. They work in parallel;none of them acts as master. All are interconnected via dualredundant local area network. Although every Remote OperatorStation is identical, access to vital functions may be configureddifferently. The control availability is defined by extensive use ofsoftware password access. Some Remote Operator Stations suchas units located in the ship office are normally used for monitoringonly. These units will not allow acknowledgement of alarms orexecution of control commands. All general information such asmonitoring of alarms, trends and graphics are available forinspection.

Changing a limit or parameter on one Remote Operator Stationwill automatically update all other stations. All operator actionssuch as the starting or stopping of a pump or the changing of analarm limit are logged and time tagged (optional).

When ever a variable or state changes significantly the DistributedProcessing Units updates the database in each of the RemoteOperator Stations. This means that data displayed at any RemoteOperator Station is always up-to-date. There is no need to requestdata each time the operator wishes to inspect a variable. As a resultof this, the data traffic on the process bus and the Local AreaNetwork is kept to a minimum, giving extremely fast data access.

The Remote Operator Station serves as the database host forprocess data, engineering data and software. Software for RemoteOperator Stations and the different Distributed Processing Unitsare stored here. They include functions for automatic downloading of parameters to the Distributed Processing Units atcommissioning time or when a Distributed Processing Unit isreplaced.

Configuration control of DataChief C20 systems is taken care ofby an automatic version update at any change of the engineeringdatabase or the application software. The system logs all changesmade. Version numbers and additional information can at any timebe individually inspected for each DataChief C20, as required bythe major classification societies. Our commissioning editor“Tools” is used to configure or modify the functionality of theDataChief C20 and is used to generate ”as built documentation”.

1.4.1 Remote Operator Station

Figure 5 Remote Operator Station (ROS)

The Remote Operator Station is a type approved personalcomputer, connected to a colour graphics display and a printer.Operator input is either done through a standard personal computerkeyboard or through our custom made Operator Control Panel.

The Operator Control Panel is a specially designed keyboard thatprovides easy access to the different operator functions. It isdivided into separate function areas. Buttons are combined withlamps to indicate alarms, status of the Extended Alarm System andto indicate main system functions. The Operator Control Panel isin many cases connected to an external ”sound off” button.

The Remote Operator Station can be supplied with a printer (foron demand printing), an alarm printer, log printer or colour hardcopy unit. When a Distributed Process Unit detects an alarmcondition, the alarm is identified by a flashing indicator on theOperator Control Panel. The alarm is also displayed on the colourgraphics display, a buzzer is turned on and the Alarm Printerautomatically prints the alarm. By pressing the button associatedwith the flashing indicator more detailed alarm information isdisplayed on the colour graphics display.

Page 31: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

13AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Detailed sensor information for any Distributed Process Unit, suchas alarm or normal status data, can also be shown on the colourgraphics display, or printed on demand. Analogue sensor data canbe presented as a bargraph or a trend curve. Selected sensor datamay be printed automatically at fixed intervals. The system candisplay the latest alarms for each alarm group individually or allactive alarms.

The logging printer and the colour graphics display records allstatus changes, such as alarm acknowledgements and alarmcondition cleared. When all alarm conditions are cleared, thesystem returns to normal.

Alarm limits and delays are adjustable from the Operator ControlPanel. A counter function keeps track of running hours for engines,pumps and related items. This function can also accumulate flow.Counter values are shown on the colour graphics display or maybe printed.

The Remote Operator Station is used when transferring machinerywatch responsibility between bridge and engine control room.Selecting the engineer for watch-call duty is carried out from here,and all available engineers, whether on duty or not, may be calledto the engine control room in the case of an emergency.

1.4.4 Watch Bridge Unit

Figure 8 Watch Bridge Unit (WBU), LCD type.

Two different types of Watch Bridge Units exist, an LED and aLCD type. Both are used to indicate and accept the transfer ofmachine watch responsibility between bridge and engine controlroom. The LED type has more alarm indicators and the LCD typehas a display to show alarms in clear text.

Figure 9 Watch Bridge Unit (WBU), LED type.

Page 35: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

17AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

When the bridge has the machinery watch responsibility, one ormore engineers must be on call. A general alarm signal will callthem to the engine control room if an alarm condition arises. Thealarm indication on the Watch Bridge Unit is that a buzzer soundsand a single or group alarm lamp is flashing. When an alarm isacknowledged in the engine control room, or the situation iscleared, appropriate indications are given on the Watch BridgeUnit.

The DataChief C20 prevents the bridge from assuming watchresponsibility if no engineers are assigned to on call duty. Thebridge personnel may call the engineers on-duty in their quartersat any time, for consultation etc. Acknowledgement of such callsare provided.

Alarm indication can be provided when the bridge is not having themachinery watch. Indicators show when an alarm has beenacknowledged in the engine control room but the buzzer is notsounded.

1.4.5 Watch Cabin Unit

Figure 10 Watch Cabin Unit (WBU), LCD type.

Two different types of Watch Cabin Units exist, an LED and aLCD version. Both are used to indicate engine room alarms. Theyare placed in the engineers cabins and in public areas. The LEDtype has more alarm indicators and the LCD type has a display toshow alarms in clear text.

To set the machinery watch responsibility system to bridge modeone or more engineers must be on call. When an alarm conditionarise a general alarm signal is sounded in the duty engineers cabinsand in the public areas. The visual alarm indication on the WatchCabin Unit consists of single or group alarm lamps.

18 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Figure 11 Watch Cabin Unit (WCU), LED type.

When the bridge has the machinery watch responsibility, one ormore engineers must be on call. When an alarm situation occur thealarm signal will be given, both in the duty-engineers cabin and inthe public areas. The visual alarm indication on the Watch CabinUnits are that a buzzer sounds and a single or group alarm lamp isflashing. The engineer will then normally go to the engine controlroom to find the cause of the alarm. When the alarm isacknowledged in the engine control room, or the situation iscleared, the alarm condition is cleared from the Watch Cabin Units.If the engineer does not acknowledge within a specified period oftime, the alarm signal is repeated in the engineers’ quarters, and onthe bridge, until it is acknowledged. The system can also be usedto call an engineer to the bridge or the engine control room withoutan alarm condition. Alarm indication without sounding the buzzeris configurable when the Watch Calling System is in off-dutymode.

• Sensor excitation power overload.

CAN net status, error handling.

Process Segment Starcoupler

The CAN line is vulnerable against short circuit and unterminatedlines. A short-circuit or a broken line will disable the entire CANsegment. The Process Segment Starcoupler protects two sectionsof a CAN segment from each other.

Each terminal on the Process Segment Starcoupler is based on theISO 11898 standard, with optical isolation. The Process SegmentStarcoupler also protects the terminals against dominant bits thatare not part of a CAN message. Thus short-circuit or malfunctionon one CAN terminal does not affect the other CAN terminals.

The maximum length of one CAN segment at 125kBaud is 530m.A segment going through a Process Star Coupler is limited to515m. This length is the maximum line length between any twonodes in the CAN segment. For that reason it is advised to use theProcess Segment Starcoupler to split two sections of a processsegment, where the segment is running through roughenvironment or fire zones.

Voltage converter controller (VCC)

The VCC-440 module is designed for use in main switchboards.The module secures the installation of the power management andgenerator protection system, by transforming the higher voltagesto low and safe levels. The VCC-440 module is equipped with sixvoltage transformers to transform from 440 to 24 VAC. Themodule handles three major tasks:

• Supply the C3 generator protection module with AC voltagefrom the measured three phase generator bus bars, L1-L2,L1-L3 and L2-L3, derated from 440 to 24 VAC.

• Supply the C3 generator protection module with 24VDC power(1A), using the generator busbar (L2-L3) as source.

• Supply the C4 power management module with a single phaseAC voltage from the generator busbar L1-L2 and theswitchboard busbar L1-L2, derated from 440 to 24 VAC.

As an option, the VCC module can be equipped with transformersfor 690 VAC.

1.4.8 Gateways

General

Two types of gateways are available.

Page 45: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

27AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

• The System Gateway: Used as a redundant gateway betweenCAN-bus and Local Area Network.

• The dual Processing System Controller: Used as a redundantgateway between two CAN segments (sections of theCAN-bus).

The main purposes of both units are to provide galvanic isolationbetween different parts of the network and to segregate process bustraffic in large systems. Messages are then converted between thenetwork parts, while maintaining redundancy.

Both units provide a service to protect all nodes (DistributedProcessing Units, Watch Bridge Unit, Watch Cabin Units andLocal Operator panels) connected to the CAN-bus. If thecommunication with one node fails, the gateways will generate asystem failure message identifying the node and the failure. TheDual Process System Controller may also be equipped withsupervisory control logic for particularly demanding tasks.

The System Gateway – SGW

The System Gateway is a four channel CAN-bus to dual LocalArea Network gateway. Its main task is to receive messages fromthe two CAN-buses, and update the Remote Operator Stations.Handling of operator commands and downloading of parametersand software from the Remote Operator Stations to the nodes(Distributed Processing Units and Local Operator Stations) arehandled as well.

The System Gateway will route global CAN-bus messagesbetween the four CAN-buses. Global messages are data messagesneeded in more than one bus segment, typically messages forinhibiting or blocking alarms during start-up or shut-down.

The System Gateway functions as an intelligent message convertersending and receiving data between any of its CAN channels andunits having Process Data Segment located on the Local AreaNetwork. The converter function will pre-process CAN messagesand load them into a local database for distribution. The other waythe converter will convert messages from Process Data Segmentand route them to the relevant node (Distributed Processing Units,or Local Operator panels).

All necessary configuration and software installation is donethrough the Local Area Network. The Simple NetworkManagement Protocol is implemented to gain access via the LocalArea Network to System Gateway and CAN diagnostic databases.Galvanic isolation is provided between the 24V power input andthe System Gateway interfaces.

28 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Dual Process Segment Controller (dPSC)

The dual Process Segment Controller is a dual two channel CANgateway. It consist of two processors, each with two CANinterfaces. The two processors have separate power connections,and they share information via dual port memory.

In this way the two processors are able to run in parallel andprovide redundancy both for CAN-bus communication and forlogic functions. The main function is to process messages from thelocal CAN-bus segment and send them on the global CAN bus,where they are available for other dual Process SegmentControllers and System Gateways. It handles operator commandsand downloading of parameters and software from any SystemGateway or Remote Operator Station to the Distributed ProcessingUnits connected to the local CAN-bus.

When the dual Process Segment Controller is controlling a set ofDistributed Processing Units, both processors are working inparallel running the same process algorithm. In this function thedual Process Segment Controller operate as a running back-up.

The dual Process Segment Controller is equipped with a dual serialinterface (RS422/485), primarily designated to communicate withother manufacturers equipment. Galvanic isolation is providedbetween the power connections and the CAN-bus, and between thetwo CAN-buses. The main features are:

• Dual two channel CAN gateway with separate and galvanicisolated processors.

• Possible to power the two processors from separate powersupplies.

• High speed data-link between the two processors.

• A node with CANopen master capability on all four CANchannels.

• Redundant routing of messages between local and global CANsegments.

• Dual serial interface, galvanic isolated, RS422/485 tocommunicate with other vendors equipment.

• Various redundant application process control logic. When thetwo processors in the dual Process Segment Controller iscontrolling the same Distributed Processing Units they areworking in parallel running the same process algorithm.

DataChief C20 / Instruction manual

32 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

1.5.2 System functions

Alarm block

Some of the alarms are conditional and will be blocked when aspecified condition is present. For instance when the main engineis stopped the lubrication oil pressure falls and should normallyhave triggered an alarm condition. Since this is quite normal thealarm is blocked. This function is started by defining a signal as aninhibit signal for a specified alarm or a specified group of alarms.An adjustable time delay for each signal is available to extend theblocking situation.

Alarm acknowledge

It is possible to acknowledge alarms while a mimic window, alarmgroup or alarm summary is displayed. Alarm acknowledgementfor separate or group alarms displayed on the screen is donethrough a single push of the same pushbutton.

Engine exhaust gas temperature monitoring

The DataChief C20 exhaust gas monitoring system calculates thedeviation between the individual cylinders and the average valueof all cylinders. An alarm is given if the deviation exceeds theacceptable limit. Alarm limits are continuously calculated basedon the engine load. The deadband is set narrower as the engine loadincreases. Individual variations due to different exhaust piping andsensor locations for each cylinder are taken into account.

Individual calculations for each cylinder bank are when relevantmade. The maximum number of cylinder for each engine orcylinder bank is 12. As the average temperature is used as referencefor the deviations, it is necessary to correct the temperature of eachcylinder, to get the same temperature in all cylinders as reference.This correction is done when running the engine at full load. Whenthe average temperature is below a preset value, the deviationalarm is blocked.

Trend monitor

The DataChief C20 automatically records selectedmeasurements, and store them for use in the trend monitoringsystem. This system can present recorded data for all variables ascurves. The trend monitor is part of the Remote Operator Station.Two functions are available; “Select Trend” and “Display Trend”.

The “Select Trend” function assigns the display of trend curves tospecified variables. The operator can specify five different trenddisplays with eight variables each, giving a total of forty recordedvariables display.

Page 51: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

33AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

The “Display Trend” function displays the selected trend ascontinuous curves. The present value is at the right hand side of thedisplay window while the previous values are displayed towardsthe left. Each curve has an assigned colour.

The trend display gives tag name, tag description and thenumerical actual value of eight variables at a time.

Fuel performance system (optional)

The fuel economising system is a tool to monitor fuel consumptionand assess the efficiency of the propulsion machinery. To studyperformance parameters momentary values are available.Accumulated fuel consumption and propeller shaft power such asfor a voyage can be displayed and printed for reporting.

Calculations are based on the Distributed Processing Units makingcontinuous measurements. The following sensor data are required:

• Fuel oil flow for each propulsion engine.

• Both input and output flow must be measured.

• Fuel oil temperature for all input and output flows.

• Running signal for each propulsion engine.

• Shaft power (torque) for each propeller shaft.

• Ship speed.

Based on these measurements the following performanceparameters are calculated:

• Momentary fuel consumption for each engine in kg/hrs.

• Total momentary fuel consumption in kg/hrs.

• Hull efficiency in kg/nm.

• Engine efficiency for each engine in g/kWh.

• Shaft power for each shaft in MW.

• Total shaft power in MW.

Fuel consumption and power output is calculated over the voyageperiod. Accumulated data includes:

• Duration of voyage in hours.

Page 52: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

DataChief C20 / Instruction manual

34 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Accumulated values can be reset by the operator. When doing so,the accumulated values are printed (a post voyage report). All fueleconomising measurements and calculations are available as adisplay window on any of the Remote Operator Stations.

Running hours & counters

To improve the maintenance plan and to decide which componentsneeds overhauling, it is important to know the running hours foreach component. The DataChief C20 running hours functionkeeps track of the running hours for selected pumps, fans,compressors, purifiers & generators etc., and present the result tothe operator on demand.

Any status signal interfaced to the DataChief C20 can be used tocount running hours. Two separate counter functions are available:

• Counter for total active running hour.

• Lap counter.

A table containing all parameters and their running hour valuescanbe printed on demand. Values can be manually reset when unitshave been overhauled. When required, adjustments can be madeto the total running hour or lap counter for any unit.

1.5.3 Process control functionsAll data acquisition, signal conditioning, signal scaling andprocess control is performed by each individual DistributedProcessing Unit. This solution guarantees that local operation isavailable even if the Remote Operator Stations are not functioning.

Stand by pumps

General

Pump control is located in the Distributed Processing Unit’s.Remote control is available from the Remote Operator Stations intwo ways:

• Through the stand by pump mimic diagrams.

• Through a mimic diagram included in the monitoring andcontrol system.

Stand by start at low pressure

When the pressure drops below the set limit the stand by pumpautomatically starts. The limit may be adjusted if an analoguesensor is used.

Inhibit stand by start

Starting of the stand by pump is blocked after a blackout or at agroup start, until the pressure has built up. The stand by logic canalso be inhibited by an external condition, such as “main enginestopped”, “aux engine stopped” or a similar condition.

Restart after blackout

Some units have to be automatically restarted after a blackout.These units are included in a start sequence. The delay time definedin the Distributed Processing Units pump logic determines the startsequence. The operator can adjust the sequence timing.

Group start of pumps

Remote controlled pumps can be started in sequence.

Alarms from the stand by pump logic

1.5.4 Power management system

Introduction

The power management system controls the power generation anddistribution on board the vessel. It includes all the automaticfunctions necessary for safe and economic operation of the powerplant.

The basic system consists of one Distributed Processing Unit perconnected genearator unit. Each perform the power managementfunctions of the connected generator unit. The system is suitablefor electrical generators driven by a diesel engine, a steam turbineor by the propeller shaft. The Distributed Processing Units havedifferent configurations and control strategies depending on thetype of drive. The Distributed Processing Units are connected toRemote Operator Station (Remote Operator Station) which allowsthe operator to initiate the same monitoring and control functionsthat can be performed locally.

For complex Power management Systems an additionalDistributed Processing Unit, the dPSC, is used for mode controletc. This is a unit giving redundancy both in function andcommunication, and allows separation of local PMS CANprocessbus data traffic from other the global CAN-network of theDataChief C20 system.

The power management system will be adapted to the specificconfiguration of power generators and bus bars on the ship. Inorder to comply with the latest rules of separation of functions foralarm, control and safety, these functions have been addressed toseparate Distributed Processing Unit’s like this:

• Complex logic: A Dual Process Segment Gateway (whenneeded).

• PMS control logic: A Distributed Processing Unit RiO C1 foreach generator.

• Diesel generator Safety system: A separate DistributedProcessing Unit RiO C1.

• Bus-tie Control: A Distributed Processing Unit RiO C1 foreach Bustie.

• Alarms: To Rai-16 or Rdi-32 Units.

Note: These units interact on a dual redundant CAN-bus.

Generator Control Functions

Synchronizing

The power management system automatically selects andsynchronizes generators to the net as required. A DistributedProcessing Unit controls speed, deviation of voltage/frequencyand breaker.

Frequency Control/Loadsharing

When automatic mode is selected, one of the DistributedProcessing Units must be defined as Master. The DistributedProcessing Unit designated as “ No.1 Stand-By “ willautomatically be master if no other master selection is made. Thebus bar frequency and voltage values from the main switchboardare available in all the Distributed Processing Units. The Mastermode Distributed Processing Unit is the reference for frequencyand voltage values. It maintains a constant bus frequency bycontrolling its engine’s speed. The Master mode DistributedProcessing Unit controls the bus frequency while the stand-byDistributed Processing Units controls the load-sharing.

Asymmetric Loadsharing

The Distributed Processing Unit has an asymmetric or unbalancedload-sharing function that will force one generator to run at almostmaximum load for a pre-defined period, while the secondgenerator is operating at minimal load and fuel consumption. Atthe expiration of the defined period, the generators swap loads.

Symmetric Loadsharing

If two or more generators are running and asymmetricload--sharing has not been requested, the load is shared equallybetween the generators.

Load-dependent Start/Stop of the Stand-by Generators

Each stand-by Distributed Processing Unit will automaticallystart, synchronise and connect its generator according to itsassigned order-of-priority and whenever it receives one of thefollowing requests:

• Switch-on request from the heavy consumer(s) if the generatorsin operation cannot provide enough power.

• A start request from another Distributed Processing Unit whenits operating generator has developed a fault, which prevents itfrom maintaining its share of the load.

• A start request from another Distributed Processing Unit whenits operating generator is approaching the point of overload.

Page 59: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

41AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

It is possible to override or block the low load auto-stop feature.Whenever blocked, the stand-by generator will keep on running,independent of the load parameters. This feature is especiallyuseful when a heavy consumer (e.g. a ship’s bow thruster) isrequired to be started instantaneously at irregular intervals.

Automatic Start-and-Connect After a Power Blackout.The powerblackout logic is triggered when the power management systemdetects that all breakers are disconnected and that the line voltageis low. (<10% of normal). In a power blackout situation, all of thegenerators controlled by each stand-by Distributed ProcessingUnit will start and connect to the bus.

Supervision of Heavy Consumer Switch-on

Each Distributed Processing Unit is able to supervise the switch-oncontrol heavy consumers to ensure that a switch-on will not causea power blackout. If the demand for power exceeds the capacity ofthe operating generators, the power management system will startup and connect a stand-by generator to ensure that sufficientcapacity is available before the request for switch-on is granted.

Power Management Functions with ShaftGeneratorMain Functions

One Distributed Processing Unit control the Shaft GeneratorDistributed Processing Unit, whereas other Distributed ProcessingUnits control the bus tie breaker and the other auxiliary generators.The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit logic is adaptableto various switch board configuration.

The following functions are available:

• Control of the shaft generator circuit breaker and the bus tiebreaker with automatic synchronisation.

• Control of the connection and disconnection of bow- and sternthruster.

• Overall control of the Distributed Processing Units that controlthe auxiliary generator sets.

Operational Modes/Mode Control

The power management system allows many different modes ofoperation. The following standard modes are provided, anexample with 1 SG, two DG’s, two busties and a bowthruster:

• Harbour: Both DG’s running. Both busties closed. This modeallows the bow thruster to be started. If load is low, andbowthruster not running the standby DG will automatically bedisconnected and stopped. This is blocked if the thruster isrunning or the STOP BLOCK switch in the Diesel GeneratorDistributed Processing Unit is activated.

Page 60: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

DataChief C20 / Instruction manual

42 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

• At sea: The SG is running. Both busties closed. The bowthruster is blocked for starting. Both DG’s are stopped andstandby ready for start.

• Cargo handling: Bustie 2 is open. One or two DG’s powerconsumers on port busbar. The shaft generator is poweringheavy consumers on stand-by busbar. The bow thruster isblocked for starting.

• Manoeuvre: Bustie 1 is open. One or two DG’s powerconsumers on port busbar. The shaft generator power the bowthruster only.

Transition between these modes is possible in two ways:

• Mode control: Selection of one of the predefined operationalmode, leading to a set of actions which the operator has toperform in order to put the Power Generating System into thatmode.

• One-Touch Mode Control: Selection of one of the predefinedoperational mode, leading to a sequence of automatic events toput the Power Generating system into that mode. Thisone-touch control to be made from the Remote OperatorStation.

Always when changing mode from shaft generator powering thenet to auxiliary generators powering the net or to split netoperation, the Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit willgive a start and connect command to at least two auxiliarygenerators. Upon reception of this command, the powermanagement system will only start one diesel at a time.

Shaft Generator OverloadThe Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit will check foroverload of the shaft generator. If overloaded for more than apredefined period of time, a request for split net is generated.

Shaft- And Auxiliary Generator In ParallelThere is an adjustable time limit for parallel load sharing betweenshaft- and auxiliary generators. The bus-tie will automatically bedisconnected when parallel load sharing exceeds this time limit.

Shaft Generator Control FunctionsThe shaft generator is interfaced to the integrated control andalarm/monitoring system via the Shaft Generator DistributedProcessing Unit. The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unithas facilities for remote start and stop. A speed drop functionversus load enable the shaft generator to be run in parallel withdiesel generators.

When the controller is set to remote operation mode, the followingfunctions are available:

Page 61: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Functional description

43AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

• Manual start from keyboard and mimic diagrams

• Manual stop from keyboard and mimic diagrams

• Automatic stop in case of alarms on main engine or the shaftgenerator itself

• Monitoring of critical parameters when the shaft generator isrunning. (Additional function to controller, with its own safetyfunctions for the shaft generator)

When the shaft generator is connected, the master DistributedProcessing Unit will do loadsharing on the diesel generator inparallel with the shaft generator. The frequency on the busbar is aresult of the ME speed. Parallel load sharing between shaftgenerator and diesel generators are limited in time, controlled fromthe Power Management System.

The Shaft Generator Distributed Processing Unit and theDistributed Processing Units perform the functions for the PowerManagement System completely independent of the Alarm- andMonitoring System.

4.3 Remote Operator Station

4.3.1 How to operate a pump starter

Pump starter functions

To control pumps the following functions and features areavailable:

• Start and stop sequence for two speeds and two differentdirections.

• Alarm reporting for start and stop failure.

• Alarm reporting for tripping or started without commanded.

• Auto & manual control.

• Automatic timedelayedrestartwhenrecovering fromblackout.

• Blocking from operation when Local switch is active or duringblackout.

• Automatic shut down.

• Optional time stamping of every change of operation, allowingthe system to record time of starting, running and stopping.

Pump starter types

The following types of pumps can be operated:

• Single speed: One speed control in one direction.

• Two speed: Two speed in the same direction.

• Two directional: One speed in two directions.

• All speed: Two speed in two directions.

• Single acting: One speed with steady relay control.

Pump symbols

Different pump symbols are used to indicate different types ofpumps.

Pump symbol colours

Pump symbols have colours according to the state they are in:

Arrow outline colour

- Green: Running

- Grey: Stopped

Arrow fill colour

For two-speed pumps only:

- Arrow fill green: Full speed

- Arrow outline green: Low speed

Circle colour

- Green: Running and remote

- Grey: Stopped and remote

- Blue: Blocked

- Red: Alarm

- White: Local - not ready

- Yellow: Standby

Parameters

Timeout: Time out for start and stop commands.

Waitchangedirection:Wait timewhenchanging speeddirection.

Pulse on: Pulse duration for start and stop commands.

Blackout restart time: The time the equipment is blocked fromauto restarting after a blackout.

Page 171: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Process control system

153AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Stopped time: Stand still time when changing speed with stoppulse

Alarm and event enable

Parameters for enabling and disabling alarms and events areavailable. Some alarms must be enabled at all times due toclassification society requirements. Start fail and trip alarms areamong these. The following conditions will result in alarms, andthe starter will be set to manual:

• Trip

• Start failure

• Stop failure

• Started without commanded

Modes

The starter can be operated in two different modes; auto andmanual.

- Auto: A unit can be automatically started and stopped.

- Manual: Only manual start and stop is possible.

Restart after blackout applies to both auto and manual modes. Thefunction is activated when the timer is set to a value larger thanzero, and the blackout detector is referred to by the tag reference.The shut down and start block functions are active both in auto andmanual modes.

Single acting control

A relay is used to start and stop the controlled unit. The relay isclosed as long as the unit is meant to be running, and opened whenthe unit is meant to be stopped. This functionality applies to oneway, one speed units only.

If the the controlled unit does not include a sensor to know if it itrunning, the starter will generate the feedback signal internally. Inthis way, the event information sent from the starter includes thecurrent running information.

Blackout

Some equipment starters (provided by some manufacturers) havethe local/remote switch connected serially with the power failureswitch. On a blackout, the starter will lose the remote signal. It isimportant that the starter detects the blackout before it is set tolocal, and that the remote signal is back before the starter receivesrecover from blackout. To solve this set the delay to off at therunning and remote feedback, and the delay to on for the systemblackout signal.

Figure 93 Leader follower compressor system.

Priorities

For automatic operation, the compressor starter must be set to automode. The compressor starter assigns different start and stoppriorities as follows:

• Leader

• 1.st follower

• 2.nd follower

• 3.rd follower

A compressor can only have one priority at a time. The prioritydefines in which order thecompressorswill start and stop.Thestartsetting for the 1.st follower must be lower or equal to the leaderstart setting and the stop setting for the first follower must be loweror equal to the leader stop setting. All followers are stopped whenthe leader stop setting is reached. For systems with analoguepressure sensors all followers are stopped when reaching thealarmhigh high limit.

Pressure tags

Command timeout: The time the starter will wait beforesignalling command timeout.

Pressure filter:The length of time thepressuremay stay belowthestart limit before the compressor is started.

Wait pressure at start: When a compressor is starting, a newcompressor is started if the pressure has not increased to above thestart limit when this timer has expired.

Blackout recover: The time the compressors are blocked fromauto restarting after a blackout.

Start/stop conditions

Start and stop conditions are adjustable by changing parameters.

Start

Systems using both binary and analogue pressure sensors haveseparate start settings for each priority. Start conditions are:

• Pressure lower than the start limit.

• When a compressor is starting, a new compressor is started ifthe pressure has not increased to above the start limit when a settime has expired.

Stop

The stop limit can be the same for all compressors, or individual.When analogue pressure sensors are used, each priority hasseparate stop settings. When binary pressure sensors are used,separate sensors can be used to define the stop limit for eachpriority. A common stop sensor can also be used. All priorities arestopped by the stop leader setting. Stop conditions are:

• Pressure higher than the stop limit.

• Stop leader signal is active.

• High-high pressure.

Auto

Two modes exist, auto and manual. Select auto mode to set thecompressor automation functionality in operation. Auto modeoperation requires that the starter is not blocked, or in any waydisabled from operating.

The following gives different examples for start and stopcondition:

Leader control

The leader compressor has its own start and stop limits.

5 POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

5.1 IntroductionThis chapter teaches you how to use the power managementsystem of the DataChiefC20. It is intended for personnel familiarwith the “Getting Started” and “Alarm and Monitoring” sectionsof this manual. The following subjects are covered:

- About the power management system

- Remote Operator Station process control

- Midi Operator Station process control

187AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

5.2 About the power management system

Changeover functionality

Any alarm for the generator set can be configured to have changeover functionality. When any of these alarms are given, a standbydiesel generator starts and connects. The failing generator will thenunload and disconnect. After the generator is disconnected thediesel may continue running, cool down and stop or stop directly,dependent on the configuration.

Automatic start and connect on blackout

When a main switchboard blackout occurs, the 1.st. standby dieselgenerator will start and connect. If it fails to start or connect, thenext standby diesel generator will start and connect. It is possibleto configure the system to start more than one standby generatoron blackout.

Load dependent start and stop of standbygenerators

When a high load occurs on on the connected generator(s), the 1.ststandby generator will start and connect. When the load decreasesenough to let a generator disconnect without overloading theremaining, the 1.st to stop generator will disconnect and stop.

Control of heavy consumers start request andstart granted

When a heavy consumer start request is received, the powermanagement system will check for available power.

* If enough power is available and a predefined number ofgenerators are connected, the power management systemgives a “start granted” to the consumer.

* If enough power is not available, the standby generator(s)will automatically start and connect. When enough poweris available, a “start granted” is given to the consumer.

* When more than one heavy consumer sends a “request forstart”, only one is granted at a time. The powermanagement system remembers all start requests andenables them in sequence.

Some of the parameters are further explained below.

Enable alarms and events

Alarms may be enabled or disabled by altering the value of theenable parameters. Select YES for enable, NO for disable.

Gradient parameters

The gradient calculation uses the filtered value as input. In orderto make the gradient more robust against noise, it is calculatedbased on a moving average over the three last samples of thefiltered value. When the process value falls below the Block limitthe gradient alarm will be blocked. Above this process value, thegradient alarm is activated if the calculated gradient value exceedsthe Gradient Limit.

• Block limit: A process value below this limit inhibits thegradient alarm.

• Gradient Limit: The gradient alarm is activated if the gradientvalue in [units/sec] exceeds this limit.

6.3.2 Alarm and event limitsAlarm and event limits are entered in technical units. Each alarm& event limit has it’s own enable flag. If the enable flag is set, thealarm/event status will be updated. If the enable flag is not set thecorresponding status is cleared.

Page 237: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

Reference guide

219AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

The filtered process value is compared with four alarm and fourevent limits. The alarm and event status is updated as follows (ifthe enable flag is set):

1 LL= on, if Filtered_value < alarm_LL limit.

2 L = on, if Filtered_value < alarm_L limit.

3 H = on, if Filtered_value > alarm_H limit.

4 HH = on, if Filtered_value > alarm_HH limit.

5 Ev_1 = on, if Filtered_value > event_1 limit.

6 Ev_2 = on, if Filtered_value > event_2 limit.

7 Ev_3 = on, if Filtered_value > event_3 limit.

8 Ev_4 = on, if Filtered_value > event_4 limit.

The LL, L, H and HH alarms are activated as soon as the alarmdelays has expired.

6.3.3 Filter time

The filter function is a 2nd order Butterworth filter. The scaledprocess value is filtered with a user defined filter time constant,which defines thecut-off frequency for the filter.The timeconstantresolution is 0.1 seconds. A time constant = 0 disables the filter,hence the lowest cut-off frequency is 10 Hz with the time constantset to 0.1 seconds.

6.3.4 Dynamic deadband

The dynamic dead band is entered in engineering units with thesame number of decimals as specified for the process value. Thedynamic dead band parameter is only in use if the external tagparameter is set to YES.This parameter is used for dynamicupdateof the process value for external tag users. When the process valuebecomes greater/less than the last sent value with more than thedynamic dead-band, a new value is sent.

6.3.5 Scaling parameters

The scaling parameters are given in corresponding pairs oftechnical values and measured values read from the analogue todigital converter.

The technical sensor range is: Eng.Units High – Eng.Units Low.

The instrument range is: Counts High – Counts Low.

1 The RTD elements are automatically calculated based oninterpolation with values fetched from a predefined table.The scaling parameters are therefore not adjustable.

2 The potentiometer signal types are automatically calculatedbased on a conversion algorithm. The counts scalingparameters is therefore not adjustable.

The Raw Value for a channel is the result of the sampling of theanalogue to digital converter. By using the scaling parameters theScaled Value is calculated, and from this value the raw percentvalue is calculated ( ± 100.00). The Scaled Value is used as inputto the 2 nd order butterworth filter to produce the Filtered Value.

Mean Temp block/Dev. Temp. high/Dev. Temp. Low

If the mean temperature falls below the mean temperature blocklimit, all deviation alarms are inhibited. The Dev. Temp. low limitdefines the maximum allowed deviation from the meantemperature for each cylinder when the mean temperature is equalto the mean temperature block limit. The Dev. Temp high limitdefines the maximum allowed deviation from the meantemperature for each cylinder when the mean temperature is equalto the mean temperature high alarm limit. The actual deviationalarm limit is a dynamical calculated alarm limit that each cylinderuses for deviation alarm detection. The figure below gives agraphical illustration of the different parameters.

Number Yes This temperature tag-number ref.

Normalizedtemp

Number No Measured temperature+ temperature correc-tion

There has to be one exhaust deviation tag item for each cylinder.This tag item checks the normalised cylinder temperature againstthe deviation alarm limit calculated by the exhaust meantemperature tag item and activates the exhaust deviation alarm ifthe normalised temperature is outside the legal deviation range.

Exhaust deviation parameters

Correction temperature

Each cylinder’s correction temperature is calculated only onrequest from the operator. This is normally done when the engineis running in steady state at 100% load. The reason for using acorrection temperature is that all cylinders have their own normaloperating temperatures, which mostly are not equal to the enginemean temperature. By Adding the correction temperature to thereal cylinder temperature, the cylinder temperature is normalisedso that the deviation alarm limits are valid for all cylinders. Thecorrection temperature is calculated in the following way:

Correction_temperature = Meantemp -RealCylindertemp

Cylinder temperature reference

The cylinder temperature ref. parameter is a tag number referenceto the cylinders temperature.

Normalised Temp

The Normalised temperature is calculated in the following way:Cylinder_normalised_temp = RealCylindertemp +Correction_temp

This normalised cylinder temperature is again used for checkingagainst the deviation limits to generate the deviation alarm.

7.9.2 How to replace Watch Callingunits

There are two types of Watch Bridge Units and two types of WatchCabin Units. For each type all panels are identical exept for thelabels inside the pushbuttons. It is recommended to orderreplacement panels with the labels for your configuration alreadyinstalled. In your order specify the ship name or yard and hullnumber.

It ispossible to remove the labels fromthedefectiveunit and installthem in the new unit, but as this is difficult we do not recommendit.

Each On Duty engineer has a group of panels defined as“belonging” to that engineer-position. These are the panels inhis/her cabin, office and in public areas. When an engineer is Onduty, each of these panels are in On Duty active mode.

Replacement

1 Remove the mounting screws.

2 Lift the panel up.

3 Unscrew and remove the left side cover plate.

4 Slide the top panel out.

5 Disconnect the cable.

6 Note down the LMT address for both the old and the newunit.

- Each watch calling panel has a unique ID, called an LMTaddress. This address is either found on a label placed on theside of the panel and looks like this:

Figure 141 Label with LMT address

- The LMT address is placed at the bottom of the label, in thiscase NORCTRLWCPANEL00000000008453.

- If this label is missing, there should be a smaller label placedon the bottom of the panel or inside the panel looking likethis:

Page 278: Alarm Monitoring Control and Power Management

DataChief C20 / Instruction manual

260 AD-0377 / Rev C 13.02.2003

Figure 142 Label with last part of LMT address

- The number written at the bottom of the label is last part ofthe LMT address, in this case 8453, indicating that the LMTaddress is NORCTRLWCPANEL00000000008453.

- If you have a watch calling panel with an LCD display, youcan also find the LMT address by pushing LAMP TEST(power must be connected). The LMT address is displayedin line 3 on the LCD display.

7 Connect the cable for the new unit.

8 Slide it into place - be careful not to dammage the cable.

9 Mount the side cover and screws securely.
