Emergency Accumulator operation
In case of main power supply failure to the electro motor, a bladder back-up accumulator
contains enough oil to operate the door three movements (close-open-close). In normal
operation, the pressure in the accumulator is constantly monitored and filled, ready for use.
Optional: Remote power operation
By master mode switch from the wheelhouse panel. The main control in the wheelhouse is
executed with a “master mode” switch with two modes of control. The ‘doors closed’ mode
automatically re-closes the doors after they have been opened locally (pre-warning of 5-10
seconds according to SOLAS is provided). The ‘local control’ mode allows the doors to be opened locally without automatic reclosure.
Optional: Emergency remote operation
Emergency operation by a hand pump, above freeboard deck, closing only.
Alarm/indication signals
Locally, two audible alarms (sounder) are combined with a visual alarm (flash light). At the remote emergency station, a visual indication (red/green lights) is present. The wheelhouse panel shows the location of the doors and is equipped with indication lights for open/close indication and alarm signaling, including buzzer when main, control power supply or accumulator pressure is lost.
