<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH<br />
The control system and its components has to be installed and<br />
put into service in accordance with the instructions of this user’s<br />
manual only.<br />
The system is designed for the control of Diesel engines. If gas<br />
engines are applied, the system components must be located<br />
away from areas with danger of explosion. The regulations<br />
regarding dangerous explosive areas have to be followed.<br />
For operating the remote control a separate ‘emergency stop’<br />
push button at each station is an absolute requirement.<br />
Cables belonging to the system and in accordance with the<br />
instructions of this user’s manual may be used only.<br />
The power supply has to be turned OFF before installation work is<br />
started. In this case the supply voltage has to be secured against<br />
turning ON again.<br />
During operation prevention against reaching inside the actuator<br />
and putting in objects has to be provided, there is an injury<br />
danger.<br />
The supply voltage must correspond to the details on the type<br />
plates of actuator and supply unit.<br />
The admissible cable length between battery and supply unit must<br />
not exceed 10m, if wire size 2,5mm² is used.<br />
Locked motors caused by misadjusted push-pull cables might<br />
burn out the DC motors and makes the control system fail.

2 Control Panel<br />
When mounting the control panel, provide enough space below the console to be accessible for<br />
plugging the electrical cable connections. Space is also needed to secure the cable externally using<br />
tie wraps.<br />
The control panel mounted on the console surface has to be secured with the enclosed hex nuts M5<br />
and flat washers.<br />
46<br />
The electronic board of the control panel must be protected from<br />
contact with other parts below the console. Otherwise damages<br />
to the circuit board or malfunctions may cause.<br />
For installation of the control panel the mounting surface must<br />
not exceed 40 mm thickness.<br />
If the mounting surface is less then 12 mm thick, the enclosed<br />
intermediate pieces are to be used to prevent damages to the<br />
electronic board during installation.<br />
M5<br />
To prevent water getting between console surface and control panel, a circulating form seal is fixed<br />
on the underside of the control panel.<br />

3 Actuator and Supply Unit<br />
Actuator and supply unit should be installed close together. Watch the length of the supply cable to the<br />
actuator - 1,5m.<br />
The actuator and supply unit are fastened with 4 mounting screws each. Mounting holes and outline<br />
dimensions of the components are shown overleaf. Bulkhead mounting with the cable connections and<br />
push-pull cables directed downwards is preferred according to the drawing below.<br />
The devices should be installed in the engine room to a location that will ensure poor vibration. Also<br />
they should be located away from direct engine heat ( admissible temperature range 248K...333K /<br />
corresponding to -25°C...+60°C ), but so that the push-pull cable have a moderate length and easy<br />
bends.<br />

4.2 Installation to Throttle - and Gear Lever<br />
For connecting the push-pull cables to engine throttle - and reversing gear lever a mounting kit, Pc.No.<br />

For each cable one ( 1 ) connection kit is needed.<br />
The max. travel for throttle and gear shift movements is 70mm. Any position for ‘Idle speed, Full<br />
speed, Ahead, Astern, Neutral’ can be adjusted electrically within this travel stroke independent of each<br />
other.<br />
Recommended is a travel of approx. 60 mm. Longer travel<br />
reduces the adjustment possibilities, shorter travel decreases the<br />
control accuracy.<br />
For installation the push-pull cables use the mounting stencil enclosed to the actuator.<br />
Connect ball head of the ball joint to the throttle and gear shift lever and watch the lever movement "s"<br />
(approx. 60mm) between the end positions (Idle ↔ Full speed / Ahead ↔ Astern). It must be centrally<br />
within the adjustable range ( hatched range of mounting stencil ).<br />

Locate the anchor device ( cable clamp, shim ) so that the push-pull cable forms a right angle ( 90° ) to<br />
the central axis of the travel stroke. Mark the distance to the fastening of the anchor device according<br />
to the mounting stencil, or measure the distance 188mm - see drawing below.<br />
Take care that during the arched travel the joint tube is swerved<br />
out of the cable’s axle direction as even as possiblemax.<br />
admissible swerve angle ± 8°<br />
Greater swerve angles may cause function failures of the<br />

The control system operates from 10V up to 32Volt, DC and draws 30A (shortly), 10A (continuously).<br />
6 Grounding<br />
Actuator and supply unit have to be grounded according to the actualities on-the-spot.<br />
The actuator and supply unit have to be grounded directly to one of the four mounting screws of each<br />
device. If a direct grounding (connection to ship’s mass) is not possible, the grounding has to be<br />
carried out by means of flexible earth leads or earth strips ( see tables below ).<br />

The above said goes also for data cables, e.g. ‘start interlock’ or ‘RPM pick-up’ specially marked in the<br />
operating manual and diagrams.<br />
7 Arrangement of Actuator Sockets<br />
A long-lasting good grounding contact has to be ensured.<br />
For twin engine systems a sufficient potential equalisation<br />
between both propulsions plants has to be provided.<br />
The following figures show the socket arrangement and their assignment of the various actuators.<br />
Not used sockets must be sealed by means of the included protective plugs. Otherwise the<br />
actuators´s protection will be dimished.<br />

8.1 Start Interlock<br />
( Not delivered by <strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman )<br />
The supply unit provides a potential-free relay contact (terminals 103 and 104) to be used for a start<br />
interlock that requires the control system to be in definite conditions. The engine can be started under<br />
the following conditions only:<br />
→The remote control must be ON.<br />
→One control station must have taken command.<br />
→The transmitter in command must be in Neutral or Warming-up position.<br />
If the starting requirements are not fulfilled, the relay contact interrupts the connection between key<br />
start ( key switch, start push button, or others ) and start solenoid relay.<br />

11.1 RPM Pick-up<br />
( For twin engine propulsion including synchronization option only )<br />
( Not delivered by <strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH )<br />
For each engine one RPM pick-up is needed to give a speed signal to the actuator.<br />
As RPM pick-ups may be used electric tachometers as well as pulse generators. In many cases the<br />
speed signal taken from the dynamo terminal "W" meets the technical requirements and a separate<br />
RPM pick-up is not necessary.<br />
Technical requirements:<br />
Because of slip in the dynamo drive synchronization is less<br />
precise, if dynamo terminal „W“ is used - compared with<br />
synchronization based on inductive speed sensoring.<br />

DIP-switch II-6 T3: Delay time before reversing<br />
DIP-switch II-7 ����<br />
For a reversing maneuver AHEAD ↔ ASTERN or coming out of a drive position into NEUTRAL the<br />
adjusted „delay time T3“ is activated automatically. The pause delays the clutch disengagement.<br />
Example:<br />
The transmitter lever is moved from AHEAD to ASTERN ( or reversed). Immediately the throttle setting<br />
drops to idle speed, but the gear remains engaged AHEAD ( or ASTERN ) according to the adjusted<br />
delay time. This allows to decrease the vessel speed before reversing takes place and speed is built<br />
up again.<br />
The real delay time ( delay of disengagement ) is depending on:<br />
→ the adjusted „delay time T3“<br />
→ value and duration of engine speed prior to the reversing maneuver<br />
→ cruising direction<br />
The maximum pause on a straight „Crash Reversing“ is achieved, if the control position was set for<br />
more than five (5) times the adjusted „delay time“. With a command period less than five (5) times the<br />
adjusted automatically„delay time“, as well as with a decreased engine speed the pause will be<br />
shortened by the control. For reversing with idle speed the pause is zero. The delay time from<br />
ASTERN to AHEAD in principle is half that for reversing from AHEAD to ASTERN.<br />
The „maximum delay time T3“ is adjustable between 0 and 10.5 seconds by means<br />
of the DIP-switches II-5, II-6 and II-7.<br />

page 30 ADJUSTMENTS AND FUNCTIONS<br />
During a later sea trial the most favourable „reversing time T3“ according to the vessel and propulsion<br />
system may be found out and adjusted as follows.<br />
1. Move transmitter lever in AHEAD detent position (idle).<br />
2. Move lever in FULL AHEAD position and take the time the engine attains<br />
two thirds of its maximum speed.<br />
3. Set the measured time by means of the DIP-switches II-5, II-6 and II-7.<br />
4. Do some more reversals over the complete speed range and determine<br />
the most favourable reversing time for propulsion and ship.<br />
DIP-switch II-8: power boost NO / YES<br />
Power boost NO: DIP-switch II-8 in OFF position<br />
Power boost YES: DIP-switch II-8 in ON position<br />
Begin the reversals always with low speed and increase the<br />
speed easily. Reset and adapt the „delay time T3“ A „crash<br />
maneuver“ with a reversing time too short may cause damages to<br />
clutch, gear, and engine.<br />
The setting „power boost YES" activates the following functions and are processed by the control. If<br />
„power boost NO“ is set, these functions are not taken in account by the control, even if delay times<br />
have been set..<br />
→T1: Holding time of power boost before clutch engagement ( DIP-switch II-1 and II-2 )<br />
→T2: Holding time of power boost after clutch engagement( DIP-switch II-3 and II-4 )<br />
→Second idle speed ( will be set later together with the speed adjustments )<br />
The combination of these three (3) functions shall be explained with the following example.<br />
Example:<br />
The transmitter lever is moved from NEUTRAL to the AHEAD detent position ( idle ). The control runs<br />
the following steps:<br />
1. Power boost<br />
The engine speed increases up to the adjusted value of the „second idle speed“.<br />
2. Holding time T1<br />
The adjusted holding time T1 insures that the increased engine speed (second idle speed.) is built up<br />
before clutch engagement.<br />
3. Clutch engagement<br />
At the end of holding time T1 the AHEAD clutch is engaged.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
ADJUSTMENTS AND FUNCTIONS page 31<br />
4. Holding time T2<br />
The adjusted holding time T2 insures a safe clutch engagement absorbing the propeller’s back torque<br />
by means of the increased speed (second idle speed ).<br />
5. Idle speed<br />
At the end of holding time T2 the engine speed is set back to idle. In case the transmitter lever was<br />
moved to a position with a higher nominal speed value preset, the engine speed is released to that<br />
value without dropping to idle before.<br />
14 Stroke Adjustment<br />
If the holding times T1 and/or T2 are needed without power<br />
boosting, the second idle speed may be adjusted to the idle value<br />
making the power boost ineffective.<br />
By means of the function switch-III and the potentiometer P1 and P2 the following<br />
gear shift positions are adjusted<br />
� Ahead<br />
� Neutral<br />
� Astern<br />
Also the throttle positions<br />
� min. speed ( Idle )<br />
� max. speed ( Full )<br />
� second idle speed<br />
For adjustments the engine must be stopped. Possible<br />
misadjustments may cause uncontrolled commands. Danger of<br />
damages to propulsion system and ship.<br />
For a free movement during adjustment works the throttle and<br />
gear shift cables must be disconnected. The push-pull cables<br />
must move in and out without any obstruction. Cable blocking<br />
may cause function failures and possible damages to cable,<br />
shift levers or actuator.<br />
To do any adjustment, first turn ON the control and take over command at control station 1<br />

control is described in section „operating instructions on page 48.<br />
Before turning ON the control, it has to be checked that the<br />

4.) 5.)<br />
Adjust the wanted position approximately Adjust the wanted position exactly<br />
by means of pot P1 ( coarse adjustment ) by means of pot P2 ( fine adjustment )<br />
By means of the potentiometers all positions to be adjusted can be displaced over the total travel<br />
range. The position „minimum speed“ ( Idle ) can be shifted from the retracted to the extracted actuator<br />
drive position, and the position „maximum speed“ ( Full speed ) then is set to the retracted actuator<br />
drive position (reversal of travel direction). In the same way the positions „Gear AHEAD“ and „ Gear<br />
ASTERN“ may be interchanged.<br />
Before each adjustment the pots should be set to its mid-position.<br />
This will allow sufficient adjustment for both directions.<br />
In case the pot’ s adjustment range is not sufficient for getting the<br />
wanted travel position, the adjustment procedure has to be<br />
interrupted ( DIP-switch-1 on OFF ). After the potentiometer is set<br />
back and alternated to adjustment mode ( DIP-switch-1 in ON<br />
position ), the adjustment may be continued. Do not change the<br />
other DIP switches.<br />
Both potentiometers have a mechanical stop. Don’t overwind<br />
the potentiometers. In consequence they will be damaged.<br />

15 Transmitter Alignment<br />
and Release of Control Stations<br />
This feature is used to align the lever positions<br />
� Detent „Idle / AHEAD“<br />
F Stop „Full speed / AHEAD“<br />
� Detent „Idle / ASTERN“<br />
F Stop „Full speed / AHEAD“<br />
Transmitter alignment and release must be carried out!<br />
Only after alignment and release the control does<br />
acknowledge the connected signal transmitters and clears<br />
them for operation!!!!<br />
The release of the signal transmitters occurs automatically<br />
Before transmitter alignment is carried out, turn OFF the engine<br />
to provide uncontrolled maneuvering.<br />
between transmitter and actuator. Because of manufacturing tolerances "Full speed" of one transmitter<br />
can be positioned at the lever travel stop, whereas the transmitter on another station signals "Full<br />
speed" some before the stop. Corresponding goes for the other positions.<br />
The alignment ensures that “Full speed” is always positioned at the lever travel stop and “idle speed” in<br />
the corresponding detents. This feature helps continuous speed setting without dead lever travel.<br />

Procedure of transmitter alignment<br />
ADJUSTMENTS AND FUNCTIONS page 37<br />
Action: Turn ON the control. Align twin engine systems separately, i.e. turn ON one control<br />
at a time.<br />
Move transmitter lever at all stations into NEUTRAL position.<br />
Take over command at control station 1.<br />
Set actuator DIP-switch I-7 in ON position ( transmitter alignment ).<br />
Result: An steady buzzer tone sounds at all stations.<br />
Transmitter to be aligned.<br />
The lighting of all transmitters blinks with low repetition.<br />
Action: Move transmitter lever to NEUTRAL”.<br />
Push “station transfer" button for approx. 3 seconds.<br />
Result: Buzzer tone at all stations stops.<br />
Lighting of the transmitter to be aligned flashes with high repetition, the lighting of all<br />
the other transmitters blinks with low repetition.<br />
Action: Move transmitter lever in the position to be aligned ( “Idle / Ahead detent”, "Full speed<br />
/ Ahead”, “Idle / Astern detent”, “Full speed / Astern”<br />
Push always “station transfer" button.<br />
Result: If the alignment was successful, after 3 seconds the buzzer will sound once.<br />
If the alignment wasn't successful, after 3 seconds the buzzer will sound 3 times.<br />
Repeat the alignment procedure.<br />
Action: Align all the other lever positions in the same way.<br />
If there are more remote stations connected, align them as well.<br />
Action Move to the next control station and depress „station transfer“ button for 3 seconds<br />
until the lighting is flashing with high repetition.<br />
(For the alignment the transmitters must be positioned in NEUTRAL again.)<br />
In the following carry out the alignment procedure as described above.<br />
Completion of transmitter alignment:<br />
Action: Set actuator DIP switch I-7 back to OFF ( operation ).<br />
See also page 27.<br />
Only with setting DIP switch I-7 back to OFF the carried out alignment is<br />
stored. If the control was turned off before, the complete alignment procedure has to<br />
be repeated.<br />
Result: The remote control has to be initiated again.<br />
The command of control has to be taken over again<br />

16 Tests with the Ship secured to the Dock<br />
Before sea trials all control functions have to be re-checked and with running engines the throttle<br />
positions “Idle” and “second Idle speed” to be adjusted on its precise value.<br />
16.1 <strong>System</strong> Check<br />
To avoid unforced and uncontrolled operations, the throttle and<br />
gear cables must be disconnected.<br />
After the cables are disconnected, turn ON the control and take over command at one remote station.<br />
Then carry out the following control operations:<br />
� “Gear Neutral”<br />
� Detent “Gear Ahead”<br />
� Move from “Idle-Ahead” to “Full-Ahead”<br />
� “Gear Neutral ”<br />
� Detent “Gear Astern<br />
� Move from “Idle-Astern” to “Full-Astern”<br />
� “Gear Neutral”<br />
� “Warming UP” feature for “Ahead” and “Astern”<br />
Check that the push-pull cable movements are done accordingly to the operation commands. Check<br />
that cable positions and directions are identical with the adjusted values.<br />
Do the checks in the same way at each existing control station.<br />
16.2 Correction: <strong>Mini</strong>mum Speed - Idle<br />
Second Idle Speed<br />
Disconnect the gear shift cable. To avoid unforced and<br />
uncontrolled operations, check that the gear shift lever is<br />
positioned in “Neutral”. Move transmitter lever into “Neutral”<br />
position and connect the throttle cable. Start the engine.<br />
If required, minimum speed ( Idle ) and second idle speed can be adjusted with the aid of a rev<br />
counter. Within twin engine systems the adjustments for both engines must match. For the adjustment<br />
procedure see „section 14 stroke adjustment”.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
17 Tests during Sea Trial<br />
TESTS page 39<br />
For the final adjustments during sea trial open water is necessary.<br />
Operate carefully and start slowly to learn the features of the<br />
control.<br />
Connect the gear cables to the shift lever in “Neutral” position.<br />
If required, during sea trial the rated speed ( full speed ) is brought into line and the “delay times” ( if<br />
wanted ) are set. The optional feature “Synchronization” ( if available ) has to be adjusted and checked.<br />
17.1 Correction: Full Speed- Rated Speed<br />
For the tests during sea trial at least one assisting person is<br />
needed.<br />
In most cases a correction of the rated speed ( Full ) is not necessary, if the corresponding position<br />
was adjusted carefully during basic adjustments ( maximum throttle travel ).<br />
The rated speed of the engine can't be exceeded by the control,<br />
but can only let move the throttle lever in its maximum position.<br />
Further attempts to increase the speed would cause blocking of<br />
the actuator drive. Realise that the rev counter at the control<br />
station may show inaccuracies caused by manufacturing<br />
tolerances.<br />
If however the speed must be modified nevertheless, the engine has to be turned OFF before. For the<br />
wanted correction follow the advises in " section 14 stroke adjustment.<br />
17.2 Special Feature "Synchronization“<br />
After correction, the throttle lever must not move against the<br />
mechanical stop. Function failures, danger of fire.<br />
For twin engine systems with the special feature "synchronization" some exceptionals have to be<br />
followed.<br />
Because in synchronization mode the "Master" engine ( see page 26 / DIP-switch I-1 ) has the lead in<br />
speed setting for the "Slave" engine, both controls have to be adjusted so that the "Slave" engine is<br />
always able to follow the "master" engine speed<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
page 40 TESTS<br />
Example:<br />
The rated (full) speed of the "Master" engine is 2500 RPMs and the rated speed of the "Slave" engine<br />
is only 2450 RPMs. The control tries to synchronize both engines at "Full Speed", but because of the<br />
lower rated speed of the "Slave" engine, it is not possible to attain the "Master" engine speed. An active<br />
speed control (synchronization) is not possible any more.<br />
If the “Slave” engine does not attain the speed value of the “Master” engine within 20 seconds, the<br />
control will cancel the active speed control ( synchronization ) and both engines will follow the speed<br />
setting by means of the "Master“ transmitter lever only, i.e. Full Speed of „Master“ engine is 2500<br />
RPMs; Full Speed of „Slave“ engine is 2450 RPMs. Indication is given at the control station by means<br />
of the quick blinking push button “special features” ( on 0,2sec / off 0,2sec ).<br />
Remedial action:<br />
There are three possibilities to take remedial action:<br />
1. Increase rated speed of „Slave“ engine:<br />
If the travel limit of the actuator drive can’t be exceeded, the speed of the „Slave“ engine may<br />
be increased correspondingly. But because the throttle lever then is moved very often against<br />
the mechanical stop, in most cases the speed increase is not possible.<br />
2. Decrease rated speed of „Master“ engine:<br />
The rated speed of the „Master“ engine should be adjusted some revs below or identical to the<br />
rated speed of the Slave engine.<br />
3. Status change of „Master“ and „Slave“:<br />
This is the most simple action. For both control systems the “Master/Slave” adjustment<br />
(actuator DIP-switch I-1/ page 26) has to be changed. Now the slower „Slave“ engine<br />
becomes lead status and the faster „Master“ engine becomes following status.<br />
17.3 Delay Times<br />
Both propulsion systems have to be adjusted that the “Slave”<br />
engine is always able to follow the “Master” engine speed. This<br />
goes also for the “minimum - idle speed".<br />
Otherwise the control will quit the active speed control.<br />
If the delay times T1 and T2 ( holding times of power boost before/after clutch engagement ) were<br />
adjusted, these delay times now can be checked and readjusted, if needed.<br />
During sea trial now the most favourable „reversing time T3“ according to the vessel and propulsion<br />
system may be determined and adjusted as follows.<br />
1. Move transmitter lever in „Ahead“ detent position (idle).<br />
2. Move lever in „Full Ahead“ position and take the time the vessel attains two thirds of its<br />
maximum speed.<br />
3. Set this time with the DIP-switches II-5, II-6, and II-7.<br />
4. Do some more reversals over the complete speed range and determine the most<br />
favourable „reversing time T3“ for propulsion and ship.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
TESTS page 41<br />
Begin the reversals always with low speed and increase the<br />
speed easily. Reset and adapt the „delay time T3“, if necessary. A<br />
crash maneuver with a reversing time too short may cause<br />
damages to clutch, gear, or engine.<br />

This option allows warming up a cold engine by speed setting through the total speed range without<br />
engaging the clutch in lever position 2.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
page 44 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Activate “Warming Up” option:<br />
The “Warming Up” option can be activated with the transmitter in<br />
command and with the lever in “Neutral 1 ” position only.<br />
1. Move transmitter lever to position “1 Neutral”.<br />
2. Depress and hold down push button "Station Transfer".<br />
3. Move transmitter lever into detent position “2 Gear Ahead/Astern”<br />
"Warming UP" is indicated by means of a short „double beep“ tone and short-termed<br />
rhythmical extinguishing transmitter lighting<br />
4. Release push button "Station Transfer".<br />
The engine is idling while the clutch is remaining disengaged. Now the transmitter lever can be moved<br />
up to position “3 Full speed” for speed setting through the total range between the positions 2 and 3.<br />
Cancel “Warming Up” option:<br />
Within twin engine propulsion systems each engine can be<br />
operated separately.<br />
To exit „Warming up“, return the transmitter lever to position “1 Neutral. The normal „beep“ tone<br />
indicates "Neutral-Position". The transmitter lighting changes to steady. The „Warming up“ feature is<br />
cancelled.<br />
19.1.2 Feature „Muting Acoustic Alarm“<br />
In “Warming Up” mode do not move the transmitter lever from<br />
Ahead to Astern or revers. The “Warming Up” mode would be<br />
cancelled, when the lever passes the position “1 Neutral” and the<br />
opposite clutch would be engaged, when it gets to position<br />
“2 Gear Ahead/Astern”.<br />
The buzzer activated for some alarms may be switched off at the corresponding control panel by<br />
depressing push button "Station Transfer".<br />
The alarm will not be cleared by muting the buzzer!<br />

19.2 Push Button „Alarm / Lamp Test“ ( lighted button -red- )<br />
Push button with two functions<br />
1. Alarm lamp:<br />
This indicating device is located at each control station, one for each control system, i.e. for twin<br />
engine systems two ( one for Port / one for Stbd. ).<br />
In case of a failure the alarm lamp will show a red steady light .<br />
2. Lamp test:<br />
After the control is turned ON, the alarm lamp also shows a<br />
steady light, but it is turned off after taking over control.<br />
for this function the push buttons has to be depressed permanently testing the transmitter lighting as<br />
well as all lighted lamps and push buttons ( except „Dimmer“ button / lighted version available from<br />
middle 1997 ) of the operating panel. As soon as the button is released, the normal condition will<br />

darker lighting ( night light ).<br />
Depress push button „Dimmer“ one time � night light<br />
Depress push button again � day light<br />
Depress push button again � night light<br />
ect.<br />
In night light mode the brightness may be dimmed continuously and the push button is lighted as well.<br />
Depress and hold down push button "Dimmer". The total range of brightness is run through. As soon<br />
as the wanted brightness shows up release the push button. If the control was switched off ( supply<br />
voltage was turned off ), the wanted brightness has to be adjusted again.<br />
.<br />
Alarm lamp and buzzer are not affected by the dimmer.<br />

19.4 Push Button „Special Feature“ ( lighted button -yellow )<br />
By means of this push button a special feature established before can be activated and deactivated.<br />
Requirement is the installation of actuators comprising the corresponding software for the options<br />
questioned. A later system extension by a special feature is not possible.<br />
For corresponding applications the various actuators including the options "trolling", "modulation" or<br />
"synchronization" are available. The special features "trolling" and "modulation" are described in<br />
additional manuals and are not subject of this manual.<br />
19.4.1 Synchronization ( for twin engine propulsion only):<br />
If actuators including the special feature "synchronization" are applied, within twin engine propulsion<br />
systems the engine speed of both engines may be synchronized. For the synchronization a speed<br />
signal ( RPM pick-up ) from each engine given to the actuator is required.<br />
Pushing the button will alternately set the option „synchronization“ back and forth between<br />
synchronization and normal. As long as the option is effective the push button shows a<br />
blinking light.<br />
„Synchronization“ can be activated only, when both transmitter<br />
levers are in cruise position „Ahead“ or the option „Warming-Up“<br />
is in operation. Switch off synchronization before leaving the<br />
Ahead range or warming-up mode. As soon as one of both<br />
transmitters is moved out of the range without having cancelled<br />
synchronization before, the control will do it automatically. Push<br />
button lighting „special feature“ blinks quickly ( on 0,2sec / off<br />
0,2sec ) and an steady buzzer tone sounds at the operating<br />
control station.<br />
To clear the warning condition, move the other transmitter lever to<br />
NEUTRAL position. So long the warning is effective, the<br />
corresponding engine will stay at idle speed.<br />
In synchronization mode the engine speed of both engines together can be controlled by the „Master“<br />
transmitter only ( see „section 17.2 special feature synchronization“ / page 39 ). In case of a station<br />
transfer the activated „synchronization“ function will be transferred also.<br />

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS page 47<br />
19.5 Indicator Lamp „Remote Control ON“ ( green )<br />
For twin engine systems only<br />
Two of these indicator lamps are included in control panels for twin engine propulsion systems, one for<br />
the Port control and one for Stbd. The indicator lamp shows that the corresponding control is ON. The<br />
lamp does not indicate which transmitter has the command at a time.<br />
19.6 Buzzer<br />
One buzzer for each control is located underneath the control panel ( one at single engine panels, at<br />
twin engine panels one for Port and one for Starboard).<br />
The buzzer supports the visual indicating of transmitter lighting and alarm lamp by acoustic tones. Also<br />
each time the transmitter has taken up „Neutral“ position it indicates it with a short „beep“. If the<br />
"Warming up" option has been called up, a short "double beep"-tone is produced.<br />
19.7 Transmitter Lighting ( green )<br />
The transmitter lighting is carried out as a green point on the transmitter scale at „Neutral“.<br />
Steady light indicates which transmitter has the command at a time. The transmitter lighting at the<br />
other station is OFF. The transmitter lighting blinks when station transfer is requested.<br />
If the transmitter is in "Warming up" mode, this is indicated by means of a short-termed rhythmical<br />
extinguishing transmitter lighting.<br />

�For twin engine systems only: indicator lamp „Remote Control ON“ (green)<br />
shows steady light at all stations.<br />
2. Requesting control:<br />
Remote control may be requested at each remote station. The transmitter lever must be placed in<br />
„Neutral“ before.<br />
Action: �Move transmitter lever to „Neutral“ .<br />
�Depress push button „station transfer“ (white) once.<br />
Result: �Indicator lamp „Alarm“ (red) remains steady at all stations.<br />
�Push button „station transfer“ (white) shows steady light at all stations.<br />
�Buzzer sounds with high repetition at all stations.<br />
�For twin engine systems only: indicator lamp „Remote Control ON“ (green)<br />
shows steady light at all stations.<br />
�Transmitter lighting (green) blinks with high repetition.<br />
3. Taking over control:<br />
If there is still a low repetition lighting and buzzer tone, mostly the<br />
transmitter lever is not placed in „Neutral“.<br />
Action: �Depress push button „station transfer“ (white) a second time.<br />
Result: �Indicator lamp „Alarm“ (red) at all stations is OFF.<br />
�Push button „station transfer“ (white) shows steady light.<br />
�Buzzer tone at all station stops.<br />
�For twin engine systems only: indicator lamp „Remote Control ON“ (green)<br />
shows steady light at all stations.<br />
�Lighting (green) of transmitter in command becomes steady. The lighting of all<br />
the other transmitters is OFF<br />
The lighted transmitter now has the command. The control is set into service.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
21 Station Transfer<br />
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS page 49<br />
The control offers two options for station transfer ( interlocked or free ) to be selected by means of<br />
DIP-switch I-2 ( see page 26 ) on the actuator circuit board. Within twin engine systems both controls<br />
must have identical adjustments.<br />
21.1 Interlocked Station Transfer<br />
The control compares the lever position of the transmitters involved in the station transfer. To transfer<br />
the command from one station to another, the transmitter lever at the station gaining command<br />
must be in „Neutral“ position or placed facing in the same direction ( Ahead or Astern ) as the lever at<br />
the station in command.<br />
The transfer proceeds in two steps.<br />
1. Step: Requesting for command<br />
Action: �Move transmitter lever into the transfer position ( Neutral or same direction as lever<br />
in command).<br />
�Depress push button „Station transfer“ (white) once.<br />
Result: �Buzzer sounds with high repetition.<br />
�Transmitter lighting blinks with high repetition<br />
The command now is requested at this new station and the control has released the take over of<br />
command shown by light and tone with high repetition.<br />
2. Step: Take over command<br />
If there is a low repetition lighting and tone, the station transfer will<br />
not be executed. In this case check that the transmitter levers are<br />
placed in the right position. Or there is a control failure.<br />
Action: � Depress push button „station transfer“ (white) one more time.<br />
Result: �Buzzer tone stops.<br />
�Transmitter lighting becomes steady.<br />
The station transfer is completed. The lighted transmitter has the command.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
page 50 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS<br />
21.2 Free Station Transfer<br />
With this option, on request the station transfer takes place disregarding the lever positions of the<br />
transmitters involved. The transfer proceeds in one step only.<br />
Taking over command.<br />
Action: �Depress push button „Station transfer“ (white) once.<br />
Result: Transmitter lighting becomes steady immediately.<br />
The station transfer is completed and the control carries out immediately the set lever position of the<br />
transmitter just has taken over the command.<br />
With this option carelessness may cause an unintentional<br />
crash reversal<br />
Example: The lever of the transmitter in command is in „Full<br />
Ahead“ position, whereas the lever of the transmitter gaining<br />
command is in „Full Astern“ position. In case of a station transfer<br />
now an immediate straight reversing maneuver would take place.<br />

Diagnostic of Faults<br />
DIAGNOSTIC OF FAULTS page 62<br />
The <strong>Mini</strong>-<strong>Marex</strong> control comprises an extensive fault analysis program for identification, evaluation,<br />
and indication of faults. A fault realised by the control is indicated via the alarm lamp at the station<br />
in command. In some cases the visual alarm is supported by means of the buzzer.<br />
The type of fault is indicated by five (5) LEDs arranged on the circuit board which is located inside<br />
the actuator cover. They are visible through a cut-out in the circuit board’s protective plate, after the<br />
actuator has been opened. The exact location of the LEDs is shown in the figure below.<br />
Via the LEDs all faults realised by the control are indicated as fault No. in binary code. The table<br />
below assists converting the binary code into decimal fault Nos.<br />
To each LED a definite valence is assigned, the valence sum of the lighted LED‘s results in the<br />
fault No.<br />
Examples:<br />
LED 1 2 3 4 5<br />
Valence 1 2 4 8 16<br />
LED 1 and LED 4 are ON<br />
1 (valence of LED 1) + 8 (valence of LED 4) = 9 (fault No.)<br />
LED 2, LED 3 and LED 5 are ON<br />
2 (valence of LED 2) + 4 (valence of LED 3) + 16 (valence of LED 5) = 22 (fault No.)<br />
The fault indication is active only as long as the fault condition lasts. As soon as the<br />
fault is cleared the LED will be OFF. The possible cause of fault then can’t be recalled<br />
any more.<br />
<strong>Rexroth</strong> Mecman GmbH
page 63 DIAGNOSTIC OF FAULTS<br />
All faults the <strong>Mini</strong>-<strong>Marex</strong> control is able to realise are described on the following pages in the order<br />
of their fault Nos.<br />
In case several faults arise at the same time, always the fault with the highest fault No. is indicated,<br />
until all faults have been cleared.<br />
The buzzer activated by some alarm reports may be stopped by pushing the „station transfer“<br />
button at the corresponding control station. But because of this the alarm is not cancelled.<br />

LED 1 2 3 4 5<br />
� � \ � \<br />
alarm lamp: steady light<br />
Cause of fault: false gear operation has been adjusted<br />
although actuator has solenoid operated gear shifting device, DIP-switch I-5 is set<br />
in OFF position (mechanical gear shifting)<br />
Consequence: synchronization OFF; speed setting OFF; gear shifting OFF;<br />
within twin engine systems intercommunication is interlocked, this keeps the other<br />
control operating<br />
Delay: none<br />
Fault exit: set DIP-switch I-5 in ON position (electrical operated); initiate control again<br />
