ENGLISH
If the preset thresholds are exceeded a malfunction is detected, and
this is signalled by light-up of the indicator (9 figure on page 14).
Two different light-up modes indicate respectively:
Flashing
- Normal limit exceeded by a limited amount; the helmsman
will not notice any difference in the way the engine runs.
On fixed
- Normal limit exceeded by an amount that requires the
maximum performance of the engine to be restricted in order to
protect it from damage; the helmsman may notice a drop in engine
performance.
Accelerator electronic circuit malfunction
When the Electronic Unit controlling the engine recognises certain
malfunctions in the accelerator electric circuit, it becomes impossible
to increase the engine speed from the bridge.
In this case it will be possible to proceed at speeds higher than the
minimum, managing acceleration and deceleration as illustrated in the
section MANAGING THE ENGINE FROM THE RELAY BOX.
Should this be necessary, always comply with the accident pre-
vention rules provided in the section CONTROLS AND MAINTE-
NANCE.
CAUTION!
Management of the engine from the “Relay box” involves
inhibition of the bridge controls; as a result of this, when
running the vessel from the bridge, the only way to
stop propeller thrust inthe engine quickly is using
the marine gear disengagement lever.
CAUTION!
The engine electronic control unit can adopt safety strate-
gies at any time during navigation, should any condition
arise that is considered to put the engine at risk.
When conditions of this kind occur, proceed with the
greatest possible care and attention, first making sure that
all those on board are secure and holding on to safe hand-
holds.
