1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is generated through the configuration tool called
Seamate. The manual is therefore customised for each system
delivery.
The intention with this manual is to explain the functionality for
each mayor component and the total system as it’s configured
for each delivery.
How to operate the system is described in a manner where we
assume that the system is in operation and that normal
operations shall be carried out. This manual is not made for
advanced troubleshooting.
The manual contains five chapters

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Remote Control System Functional

Description
The Kongsberg Maritime C20 Marine Automation system
consists of, among others the AutoChief® C20 Propulsion
Control System. Modular design allows flexibility in
configuring the system to individual requirements, covering the
whole range from standard propulsion configurations to highly
advanced twin or quadruple engine installations with high,
medium or low speed engines connected to reduction, reversing
gear or variable pitch propellers. This system may be a part of a
total integrated ship control system consisting of other sub.
Systems such as:
• Alarm and monitoring system.
• Auxiliary control system.
• Power management system.
• Ballast automation system.
• HVAC (air conditioning).
• Management support
The system is based on Kongsberg Maritime unified automation

concept, where each individual ship configuration is built up
using standard modules communicating on CAN- and local area
networks. The C20 system is configurable for all ship types.
The AutoChief® C20 Propulsion Control System is designed for
remote control of the main engine from the combined telegraph
and manoeuvring lever in the wheelhouse. By moving this lever,
the system will automatically start, reverse, stop and speed-set
the main engine.

313736a 35
2.8 Remote control system functions

2.8.1 Start interlock
As long as any of the below mentioned conditions is active the
engine is inhibited for starting.
2.8.1.1 Start air pressure low

To secure a safe starting of the main engine a minimum starting
air pressure is required. The value for minimum starting air
pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the remote control
system. If the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is
activated.
2.8.1.2 Turning gear engaged

The turning gear is mechanically engaged to the flywheel. The
main engine is therefore inhibited from starting.
2.8.1.3 RPM detector failure

RPM monitoring is critical for starting and running of the
engine, so if the RPM measuring system is experiencing a
redundant detector failure the engine is inhibited for starting.
2.8.1.4 Safety Stop

Engine has tripped because of a shut down detected and created
by the safety system.
Details to be found in the alarm list on the Safety system mimic
pages.
2.8.1.5 Slow Turning Failed

Slow turning is intended to be performed within a pre-set time.
The engine is assumed to turn one complete revolution during
this time. If it fails to turn one revolution “slow turning failed”
will be announced.
2.8.1.6 Plant Interlock

The Plant interlock input may contain a various amount of start
interlocks, but it is not specified which signals to be
implemented, This is for the owner or shipyard to decide, If
however this input is active the actual items in the plant
interlock circuit has to be cancelled before a start can take place.
36 313736a
2.8.2 Start Failure

2.8.2.1 3 start attempts failed.
If the engine fails to run on the first start attempt, a total of 2
repeated starts will be performed by the control system. If three
start attempts are made and the engine didn’t start the message
“3 Start attempts Failed” will be announced. To reset this
function the manoeuvre lever has to be set to “Stop”
2.8.2.2 Start time limit

When the engine shall be started it’s estimated that it shall reach
a certain rpm level just after fuel is supplied. If this rpm level is
not reached within a pre-defined time “Start time limit” will be
announced.
2.8.2.3 Brake time limit.

When the engine is running and the direction of rotation shall be
changed (reversed), the control system will brake the engines
rotation ahead by activating starting air for start in the opposite
direction. If, for any reason, the rpm does not reach a preset
level within the value defined in the “Brake time limit” the
brake air will be shut off, and “Brake time limit” will be
announced.
313736a 37
2.8.3 Alarms
2.8.3.1 Slow turning Failure
If it is detected a failure when or during the slow turning
sequence is active, this alarm will be announced.
2.8.3.2 Remote Control Fail

This indicates that there is observed a failure in the remote
control system. It normally detects failure on connected sensors
and deviating measurements on sensors which should read the
same value. Examples are the two charge air transmitters and the
two load indicator transmitters.
2.8.3.3 RCS Passive Fail

This indicates that a passive failure is detected, it monitors rpm
detectors, reversing valves, cut-off valve, start and stop valve.
2.8.3.4 All aux. blower Failure

Prior to start, at least one of the auxiliary blowers has to be in
operation. If no one has started because failure, the message
“All Aux. blower failure” will be announced. Start is
interlocked.
2.8.3.5 VIT Fail

This indicates that a failure is detected with one or two of the
VIT actuators. Normally the failures will be positioning failures
due to feedback measuring failures.
2.8.3.6 Speed Control Fail.

This indicates that the speed control unit is no longer able to
control the main engine speed.
38 313736a
2.8.4 Starting the main engine

The engine is started automatically in ahead (or astern) direction
from bridge (if the engine is prepared for start), simply by
setting the bridge handle from stop to any position in ahead (or
astern) direction
2.8.4.1 Cylinder pre/post lubrication

A cylinder pre-lubrication function is provided in the system. A
soft-key in the ACP mimic is provided for this function. This
soft-key activates a solenoid valve which allows the lubrication
oil pump to be driven by the crosshead bearing oil, this giving
cylinder pre-lubrication for an adjustable time (30 sec.). This
function can either be automatic together with slow turning, or it
can be manually initiated from the control room ACP.
2.8.4.2 Slow turning

If the engine has been stopped for a certain time (normally 30
minutes), the slow turning indicator lamp, ”Request Slow Turn”
will be lit. This means the operator has to perform slow turning
prior to start of the main engine. This is done by activating the
slow turning soft-key in the “Engine Modes” mimic. When the
sequence is started the slow turning valve will be activated, and
a limited amount of starting air will be supplied to the main
engine, the engine will rotate slowly on starting air.
When one revolution is completed, the engine may be started

according to normal procedure. If one revolution with slow
turning is not accomplished within the correct time, the alarm
”SLOW TURNING FAILURE” is released in control room and
bridge.
313736a 39
2.8.4.3 Normal start

If start is not interlocked as listed above start of main engine is
activated when the manoeuvring lever is put out of stop position,
into any position in ahead or astern direction. The system will
open for start air by the Start Valve, and close the start air by
means of the Start Cut off Valve when the start speed is reached.
If the start attempt fails, the system will repeat the start sequence
two more times. Bye means of de-energizing the Start Cut Off
Valve. The additional start attempts will be carried out with
increased start set-point (heavy start), if all three start attempts
fails, 3 failed starts alarm will be activated.
2.8.4.4 Repeated start

If the engine fails to start (run on fuel) after the starting air is
switched off, the system will automatically try to restart the
engine. Indication for "repeated starts" will show on bridge and
ECR. If the second start also fails, the system will try once
more. After 3 starting attempts, “3 start failures” alarm will be
released.
2.8.4.5 Starting failure

Starting failure is detected when one of the following conditions
occurs, and is indicated on ECR and Bridge ACP.
3 failed starts
Start time limit
Max slow turning time
"Start time limit" means engine is unable to reach the start-rpm

level within a specific time period.
Start failures are reset by setting the manoeuvring lever to stop
40 313736a
2.8.5 Speed limiters

For protecting the engine against thermal stress and destruction
some fixed RPM Limiters are included in the system.
2.8.5.1 Slow Down

A slow down is caused by a input signal detected by the slow
down module. If such a signal is detected, the safety system will
send a speed reduction request to the remote control system. The
speed set-point will after a pre-warning time is reduced to the
predefined slow down level.
RPM
SLD RPM
Level
Time
SLD Active
During pre-warning time an alarm "slow down cancellable" or

"slow down none cancellable" will be displayed on the ACP.
2.8.5.2 Start set-point Limit

When start is activated from the remote control system the
governor will preset the fuel pumps to a fixed pump index to
secure a safe start. The fuel start set-point is deactivated as soon
as the engine passes a preset rpm level.
313736a 41
2.8.5.3 Chief Limit

This function is also called manual RPM Limit. It’s a parameter
in the remote control system, initiated by the ACP for pre-
setting maximum allowed RPM for ahead or astern running. If
the RPM command is set higher, the command will be limited to
the value inserted in this parameter.

2.8.5.5 Speed program

When setting the bridge handle to Navigation Full position, load
program will be activated. This will be indicated as "load up
program active" on the ACP. The purpose of this function is to
prevent engine temperature from increasing too fast when higher
load is applied.
When MCR is obtained (in 45 minutes) the “load up program
active” indication will disappear.
The same function may also apply for the opposite purpose.
When reducing speed from Navigation Full to full ahead the
load down function is activated, slowly decreasing the speed to
allow the engine to cool down (normally 15-20 minutes).
If the bridge lever is set to a position below "full ahead" before

the load down program is finished, the program will
automatically be cancelled.

2.8.5.7 Critical speed set point limiter
Critical speed avoidance

In order to avoid operation of the main engine in critical (barred)
speed areas, there is provided a command limiter function. If
bridge command is within this area, the "critical RPM limit" on
bridge and in control room ACP will turn up.
The system will during acceleration keep the engine running at
the lower critical speed until command has reached the upper
limit, during de-acceleration it will keep the engine running at
the upper limit until command has reached the lower limit.
Critical speed alarm

If the engine RPM run within the critical (or barred) speed
ranges too long time, indication for "critical RPM" will be
shown on the ACP.
There are two critical RPM zones available.

FQS (Fuel Quality Setting) is included in accordance with the
Denis-6 specification. The purpose of the VIT+FQS is to keep
the firing pressure at 100% in the upper load range. The FQS is
a manual adjustment facility to cope with varying fuel qualities.
The diagram below shows the principles for the control system.
The system uses the charge air pressure and the engine speed as
input signals to this control function, in order to control the
VIT+FQS actuator placed on the main engine in accordance
with curves specified in the Denis-6 specification.

2.8.7 Operation modes

2.8.7.1 Rough sea mode
The rough sea mode is optionally provided in order to avoid
over-speed trip during rough sea conditions.
Selecting rough-sea mode is to be done from the ACP menu.
When rough sea mode is selected, and over-speed is detected,
the following sequence will take place.
• When the engine speed reaches the over-speed level, the

fuel will be cut-off, the engine speed will decrease.
• When the engine speed reaches reset level, fuel will be
supplied, and the engine will be running at this level.
• To reset, move speed-set lever back to reset level and
move handle to desired RPM.
There is an upper speed limit for this function (adjustable). The

upper limit is provided to avoid fluctuation between over-speed,
and stop.

2.8.7.3 Constant fuel mode

This function is used when the governor system is made by
another maker than Kongsberg Maritime AS
The RPM is continuously measured and when the RPM has
remained constant for a predefined time a signal hardwired to a
solenoid valve in the Governor system. The governor will then
lock the fuel actuator output to a fixed fuel index. When the
Fuel index is locked the RPM will fluctuate. Anyhow this
function is required in some cases i.e. when indicator diagrams
shall be made and similar. During this sequence the RPM is
continuously monitored and compared with a upper and lower
RPM deviation parameter. If the RPM fluctuates above or below
these limits, the fuel actuator output will be unlocked and the
RPM is governed back to the set-point requested from the
remote control system.
It is also limiters for which rpm areas this function may be used.
I.e. it’s not allowed in low rpm areas where the engine may stop
if the fuel amount is not controlled continuously or, in high rpm
areas where the engine may increase to over speed rpm level.

2.8.7.4 Shaft Generator control mode

When shaft generator (PTO) is provided an optional function in
the remote control system is available in order to avoid black out
during speed reduction and slow down.
An input signal from the main switchboard "shaft generator in
service" should be connected to the remote control system. The
remote control system will give out signal "request for diesel
generator starting & disconnection of shaft generator".
When shaft generator is connected to the switchboard, the
engine speed should be above a certain level. If the speed
command is ordered below the lowest working level for shaft
generator, from the bridge handle, or because of slow down, the
following sequence take place:
• "RPM holding" indication in bridge and control room

ACP
• Signal "request for diesel generator starting &
disconnection of shaft generator" will be given to the
main switchboard.
• Speed will be kept at the shaft generator minimum
working level until signal "shaft generator in service"
goes off, or maximum 60 seconds (adjustable).
• After the signal "shaft generator in service" extinguish,
the speed will be reduced to the required level (bridge
handle requirements or slow down level).
• The same sequence applies when STOP or CRASH
MANOEUVRING order are given.
For shut down and emergency stop, the system will immediately
stop the engine, resulting in a black-out.

2.8.8.1 Reversing
The engine is reversed automatically to ahead (or astern)
direction from bridge by setting the bridge handle from stop to
any position in ahead (or astern) direction.
Reversing sequence will be carried out prior to the starting
sequence.
If the engine is running above the brake air level, brake air will
be supplied when engine has reached the brake air rpm level, in
order to perform the reversing sequence as fast as possible.
2.8.8.2 Crash Astern

Crash manoeuvring means quick reversing of the engine from
ahead to astern. It’s used in emergency situation, when the
bridge lever is moved from full ahead to full astern position.
• Move the bridge lever from full ahead to full astern

position.
• "crash astern" indication on bridge and control room ACP.
• Stop signal will be given to the main engine.
• Engine speed will reduce to brake air level
• Engine will be reversed, and start air will be supplied
• Heavy start and cancel limiters signals will be given to the
speed control system.
• When the speed reaches the fuel/start air change level in
astern direction, the start air will be switched off, and fuel
will be supplied.
2.8.9 Stopping the main engine

The engine is stopped simply by setting the lever in control to
STOP position. The fuel zero order signal is activated to the
governor to set the fuel rack in zero position. As a back up for
the stop function, emergency stop switch is provided on the
telegraph panel in bridge and control room (and on the local
control panel), which are hardwired directly to the safety
system.

remote control system. The auxiliary blowers will automatically
be set to Auto “Pre-Select” and “OFF” by the AC-C20. Alarm
for "all aux. blower failure" is included in the remote control
system. I.e. if all aux. blowers fail to start, during start, the “All
Aux. Blow, Failure alarm is released and the start sequence is
interrupted, waiting for aux. blowers to start. The auxiliary
blower will automatically be set to Auto when start is ordered.
Pressure switches will start and stop Aux. blowers (When
turbochargers feeds enough charge air for running the engine.
aux. blowers is stopped by the pressure switch).
2.8.10.2 Cylinder lubrication CLU 3

The cylinder lubrication is controlled by the AC-C20 remote
control system. The system is designed to control the CLU 3
cylinder lubrication unit for Sulzer RTA engines. The operation
modes are as follows:
• Dynamic load dependence of cylinder lubrication.
• Running in of all cylinders with fixed lubrication
Quantity.
• Emergency cylinder lubrication.
The lubrication pump is controlled by means of speed. The
speed command is calculated on behalf of the mode selected and
the actual engine load.

2.9.1.1 Shut Down Function (1 – 6)
Then engine will automatically shut down (stop), if any of the
shut down sensors is activated. The emergency stop solenoid
valve will be activated, and the fuel rack to zero order is given
to the governor. The engine will then stop. The following inputs
for shut down sensors are provided:
Shut down 1: (Fixed as over-speed)

Shut down 2-6: (To be project specified for the actual
project)
Custom Shut down 1-5 (To be project specified for the actual
project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The shut downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will stop the engine
immediately.
Shut down is reset (after the sensor is de-activated) by setting
the manoeuvring lever at the control stand in control to stop
position. The engine may then be restarted.
2.9.1.2 Cancellable Shut Down

It will be possible, during the time delay, to cancel the shut
down by pressing the "Cancel SHD" pushbutton on the ACP
unit.
There will be time delay on the cancellable shut downs. The
delay time may be adjusted individually for each sensor. The
cancellable shut-downs may be cancelled individually from the
ACP in control room, regardless of control position active, it
will additionally be possible to cancel all shut-downs from
bridge while in bridge control, control room in control room
control and from engine side while in emergency control. The
indications mentioned will be shown on the LCD display of the
ACP unit.
313736a 53
2.9.1.3 Emergency Stop function

Safety System has possibility for total 5 emergency stop push
buttons
Normally 3 emergency stop pushbuttons will be used:
Bridge Pushbutton with light with integrated
in bridge LTU.
Bridge Wings Pushbutton with light with cover
(Option) integrated in the BWU
Control Room Pushbutton with light with cover
integrated in the ECR LTU
Local Control: Pushbutton with light with cover
integrated in emergency control PBT.
Emergency stop solenoid valve is directly activated through the

ESU when one of the pushbuttons is activated. Stop signal is
sent to the RCS and fuel rack to zero order is given to the
governor. The engine will stop, and an alarm "emergency stop",
emergency stop valve activated", and information of which of
the emergency stop pushbutton is activated will be shown on the
ACP.
Emergency stop may be activated from all control stands at all
time, regardless of the control position. Emergency stop is
simply deactivated when the pushbutton are pressed once more.
2.9.1.4 Over speed Shut Down

Over speed is detected by the RPM detection system, from tacho
pick-ups which are mounted towards engine fly-wheel, when the
engine revolution exceeds the over speed level (107% of MCR,
adjustable).
A hardwired signal from the RPM detection system is connected
to a shut down input on the ESU for direct activation of
emergency stop solenoid valve.
And the RPM detection system will by dual redundant CAN
order shut down of engine to RCS, Safety System and Governor
System. This will cause the emergency stop solenoid valve to be
activated and the fuel rack position moved to zero.
54 313736a
The engine will stop and the alarm "over speed" will be shown
on the ACP.
Over speed is reset by setting the manoeuvring lever at the
control stand to stop position. The engine may then be restarted.
2.9.2 Safety function Slow Down

2.9.2.1 Slow Down Function (1 – 20)
The engine will automatically reduce the speed corresponding to
slow (adjustable) if any of the slow down sensors is activated.
Slow down signal will be sent to the remote control system
and/or the governor, which takes action. Slow down is indicated
on the ACP. The inputs for slow down sensors are as follows:
Slow down 1-20: (To be project specified for the actual

project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.
The slow downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will reduce the engine
speed immediately; while there will be time delay on the
cancellable ones. The delay time may be adjusted individually
for each sensor. The cancellable slow-downs may be cancelled
individually from the ACP in control room, regardless of control
position, it will additionally be possible to cancel all slow-
downs from bridge while in bridge control, control room in
control room control and from engine side while in emergency
control.
Slow down is automatically reset after the sensor is de-activated,
alternatively it is reset when the sensor is de-activated, and the
bridge handle is set below the slow down level.
A none cancellable slowdown will activate speed reduction

immediately after the time delay has run out.
Slow down action is performed as follows:
Bridge Control Automatically by the remote control

system.
Control Room Contr. Automatically by the governor or
manually by the operator
Local Control: Manually by the local speed device.

4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to keep the system in good working
order and what to do if the system fails.
The following subjects are covered:
• Overview
• Unit replacement
• Preventive maintenance
• Troubleshooting of all parts of the system
4.2 Overview
This maintenance chapter is intended for trained maintenance
technicians or engineers with experience of electronic and
digital circuits, computers and electro mechanical design. The
level of information is based on Kongsberg Maritime
maintenance philosophy: The onboard technical personnel shall,
with the help of the documentation and the system’s built-in test
functions, be able to identify malfunctions, locate the fault, and
replace major parts, modules and components on a “Line
Replaceable Unit” (LRU) level. He/she will however not
attempt to repair the LRUs.
Note Cleaning with abrasive material or strong chemical cleaning
solutions is not recommended as these may damage the system.
4.3 Unit replacement

Warning Turn power off before replacing any parts!
Note AutoChief C20 units are not field repairable. Any attempt will
void the warranty.
Package faulty units using the box from the replacement unit
and send it to Kongsberg Maritime for repair.
Refer to page NO TAG for information on how to get in touch with us.
120 313736a
4.3.1 Recommended tools

Installation drawings.
Digital multimeter.
Sensor simulator.
Screwdriver for wire terminals: Flat 3 x 0.7 mm.
Screwdriver for screen termination board: Flat 7 x 1.0 mm.
Screwdriver Pozidrive: POZI #1.
Cable ties.
4.4 Preventive maintenance
4.4.1 General
Kongsberg Maritime recommends the following preventive
maintenance routine for the AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control
system with process control and power management:
Weekly: Clean all operator panels, and run the on-line lamp
and unit function tests. Clean all filters for units
equipped with fans.
3-Monthly: Check rpm pickups
6-Monthly: Check cables and cable entrances, electrical screw-
terminals, fuse connections and plug connections.
Yearly: Check and if necessary calibrate the input sensors
and output actuators according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The Classification Societies and/or the Ship’s Maintenance Plan

(or Site’s Maintenance Plan) should be referred to for obtaining
a recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system.
Kongsberg Maritime recommends that the operation of each unit
and its functions is checked after any major maintenance. By
major maintenance is understood the removing, testing,
calibrating and re-installing or replacement of pressure sensors,
temperature sensors etc. After this type of maintenance, we
recommend each unit to be re-commissioned according to the
instruction given in this manual.
313736a 121
4.4.2 Weekly maintenance

This maintenance routine applies to units equipped with lamp
and/or function test buttons. Pushing function test buttons will
not interrupt normal system operation.
AutoChief Control Panel (ACP), Lever Telegraph Unit (LTU),

Push-button Telegraph (PBT), Multiple Purpose Panel (MPP)
and the multiple Purpose display (MPD)
Each week do the following for each of these Units:
1 Clean the surface of the units. Wipe the surfaces with a
clean damp cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a clean, damp
cloth which has been dipped in a solution of a mild dish
detergent and water. Wring out firmly before wiping the
unit. Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit or
alcohol.
2 Push "LAMP TEST".
− All LED’s should be lit for about five seconds.
− if the test fails, refer to the trouble shooting section.
4.4.2.1 Distributed Processing Units

The distributed processing units do not require weekly
maintenance.
4.4.3 3-monthly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. For rpm pick-ups :
Remove dirt and check distance, while engine is stopped
4.4.4 6-monthly maintenance

Where applicable; check the following parts of the system each
6-month period:
1 Check cables and cable entrances for damage to the cable.
2 Tighten all electrical screw-terminals.
3 Tighten all plug connections.
122 313736a
4.4.5 Yearly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. Each year, check and
if necessary calibrate the input sensors and output actuators
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In general, it is not
necessary to re-calibrate sensors if the input signal is correct.
Compare the input signal to this system, with the input signals
on other systems or local gauges.
Refer to the Classification Societies and/or the Ship’s

Maintenance Plan (or Site’s Maintenance Plan) for obtaining a
recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system. The societies normally
recommend a 3-monthly to 6-monthly schedule.
