The Steering Gears are also designed according to requirements by the following classification
societies:
A Class Certificate is issued for each Steering gear in accordance with the Class of the vessel.
The power pack consists of two pump units which may be operated together or separately. Each
pump unit will provide oil with sufficient flow to develop the specified rudder angle. When cruising at
sea, only one pump unit is normally in operation, while the other is acting as a stand-by unit, but
when the shortest possible steering time is required, it is possible to run both pump units
simultaneously and thereby doubling the turning rate.
The pump units are for normal operation remotely controlled, but for emergency situations they
may be operated manually from the steering gear room.

Do not mix oils
Note!
The performance of a steering gear is highly dependent on the viscosity of the hydraulic oil.
When choosing oil for the hydraulic equipment, it is important that the temperature
conditions where the equipment is to be operating are considered.
o
Oil temperature should be limited to 70 C.
2
For vessels operating worldwide, we recommend oil according to ISO-VG 68 mm /s (cSt)
o
at 40 C. Index of minimum 110.
The following hydraulic oils are approved and recommended by Rolls Royce Marine:
The oil must be checked regularly for contamination, and the oil companies’
recommendation for change of oil to be followed.
Change the oil when laboratory tests show:
Note!
The paint system Top Coat consists of a single component alkyd. This means that any
touch-up or repainting after delivery must be done with alkyd based paintings. Technical
data sheets for the paint systems are available at; http://www.international-pc.com
All machined surfaces not treated with primer are to be cleaned prior to painting with
degreasing detergent to remove all contamination. Finish with high pressure washing with
fresh water.
Preparation before coating must adhere to the following specifications:
Specification Applies to
ISO 8502-3 Dust-free testing before painting
ISO 8502-4 Climatic conditions during painting
Warning
If any malfunction is detected when operating the Rolls-Royce Steering Gear, the
malfunction must be investigated and remedied. Operating a Rolls-Royce Steering
Gear with a malfunction in the control system or hydraulic system may cause
personal injury or equipment damage. Similarly, any malfunction that might occur
in the systems when the Rolls-Royce Steering Gear is in operation must be
remedied or the Steering gear taken out of service.
Caution!
Before operating the equipment, please see Chapter 2 for the General Statement, Safety and
Warnings instructions, and ensure that:
6.1.1 Start

green lamp will be turned on.
1. Stop one pump at the time from the bridge, by pushing the Stop Pump push button [2]. The red
lamp will be turned on.
3. Stop the power supply to the Steering gear by switching of the main switch.
Warning
Note!
Only one of the pumps to be running
6.2.1 Start
1. Connect power with the main switch located on the motor controllers, and ensure that power is
available.
2. Set the selector switch located on the motor controller to position 3 ―Local control‖
1. The steering gear can now be operated manually from the steering gear compartment, by
using the red and green handles as illustrated.
6.2.3 Stop
2. Stop the power supply to the steering gear by switching of the main switch
2. Push the ―ACK‖ button once more. If the alarm condition is still present, the local alarm lamps
go from flashing to steady light. If not, it is turned off.
Note!
If an alarm (other than low or low low oil level alarm) occurs for one of the pump systems,
the stand-by pump unit will be started automatically. The Auto Start indication light on the
control panel is turned on for about 3 seconds. The faulty pump system must be stopped
manually.
If both pumps are running, and an alarm (other than low or low low oil level alarm) occur on
both pump systems. Stop pump 1. If no response start pump 1 and stop pump 2. If still no
response, emergency steering to be performed from Steering Gear compartment.
When a pump has started due to automatic start, it is not possible to stop this pump before
the auto-start alarm light is turned off. If necessary the pump can be stopped by using the
selector switch on the starter in the steering gear room.
Warning
Never work alone when installing heavy components, even when using
secure lifting equipment such as lockable block and tackle. Most lifting
devices require two people, one to oversee to the lifting device and the
other to ensure that the components do not get caught and damaged.
Always wear protective goggles if there is a risk of splinters, grinding
sparks and splashes from acid or other chemicals. Eyes are extremely
sensitive and an injury to them can result in loss of sight.
Using hydraulic oil other than the one specified in this manual may cause
malfunctions when operating the equipment. This may cause personal
injury and equipment damage
Caution!
Most chemicals intended for the product (engine and gearbox oils, glycol, gasoline and
diesel), or the workshop (degreasing agent, paints and solvents) can be harmful to your
health. Read the instructions on packaging carefully! Always follow protective measures
such as using a protective mask, goggles, gloves etc. Ensure that other personnel are not
unknowingly exposed to harmful substances in the air that they breathe; ensure adequate
ventilation. Dispose used and excess chemicals according to instructions.
Ensure that the warning or information labels on the product are always visible. Replace
labels that are damaged or painted over.
Take care of the hydraulic oil when replacing parts in the hydraulic system. Any oil spillage,
even a small one, will cause environmental damage. Used filter elements and worn out
hydraulic oil should be disposed safely.
Note!
To avoid unexpected stops, we will emphasize the importance to maintain the equipment
on a regular basis.
Use spare parts supplied by Rolls-Royce Marine. Use of other than Rolls-Royce marine
approved spare parts will void the warranty and may result in system failure or reduced
lifetime.
For scheduled class survey, general overhaul or repair we advise to use Rolls-Royce
service engineers. This will limit the time of repair to a minimum and ensure continuous
safe operation.
It is requested that any failures or maintenance work on the equipment shall be reported to
Rolls Royce Marine – Steering Gears Hagavik. By reporting failures and maintenance
work, an accurate equipment history can be maintained by Rolls-Royce. This history will be
continuously monitored and compared to other vessels with similar equipment. With this
information, we can provide better service, faster delivery of spare parts, and guidance for
preventive maintenance.

*If a filter alarm or the filter indicator is in the red zone replace the filter element at the first possible occasion
Note!
Throughout the whole procedure; do not give any steering signal when the pump is started
It is important that the oil bottle used for oil sampling is chemically pure, and that the
procedure is performed according to oil company's procedure.
12. Again start the pump unit and let it run for at least one
minute. This will make sure that any trapped air will
evacuate through the filter and into the tank.
13. Manually move the rudder by using the red and green
steering gear handles as illustrated. If any noise or
steering problems are presented perform the venting
procedure as described in chapter 7.5.
14. Mark the bottle with AQM type and number, date, oil
type, sample taken by and how long used.
16. Compare the oil sample with new oil. If color or smell
has significantly changed or there are impurities in
the oil, change the oil.
Note!
Check that the power supply from the main switchboard to each motor controller is correct
and each electric motor is connected for the correct supply.
2. Open the breathing filter [1] and fill oil into the oil tank.

Note!
Check that the power supply from the main switchboard to each motor controller is correct
and each electric motor is connected for the correct supply. Also check that the turning
direction of the electric motor is correct.
18. Start the pump unit not connected to the leakage pipe
by turning the selector switch on the corresponding
motor controller to position 3 ―local control‖.
19. While the pump is idling, open the venting plugs [1]
one at a time and evacuate all air. Close the plugs
when oil is coming out.

Do not open the venting plugs more than 2-3 rotations
21. Loosen the leakage pipe coupling [2] and fill the pipe
connector with oil while turning the rudder.
22. While the pump is idling, open the venting plugs one
at a time and evacuate all air. Close the plugs when
oil is coming out.
Note!
Do not open the venting plugs more than 2-3 rotations
Note!
The system shall now operate smoothly without noise. If
noise still exists, repeat the venting procedure.
Filter None
Note!
After the first 200 hours running, the oil filters shall be opened for inspection and the filter element
changed if necessary. If any impurities are found, the element must be replaced at short intervals
until it stays clean. From now on, replace the relevant filter element if the filter indicator is in the
RED zone. If none signs of clogged filters, replace the filter elements at yearly intervals.
Note!
Be aware of spring-loaded cover [3]
Clogging will reduce the heat transfer capacity of the Water/Oil cooler. Methods for
establishing clogging :
Check water inlet and outlet temperature. Clogging results in reduced difference in
water inlet and outlet temperatures and a rise in oil temperature.
Check for pressure drop across the cooler. Clogged and narrow passages will cause
acceleration in flow rate and increased pressure drop.
1. Clean the water oil cooler by removing all minor deposits by back flushing the cooler with
water.
2. Use 5% phosphoric acid or, when cleaned frequently, 5% oxalic acid or similar light
organic acid.
Note!
Make sure all acid are removed before restarting the system.
3. Set the Steering Gear mode to ―non follow up‖ (as an alternative one can stop the power
packs after setting the rudder at a given angle)
4. Set the rudder angle to 20 port. Read and note the pressure.
5. If it seems that the rudder creeps at an unacceptable rate, measure how many seconds it
takes for the rudder to creep from 20 to 15

IMO
SOLAS
The Steering gears are also designed according to requirements by the following classification
societies:
RINA
A Class Certificate is issued for each Steering gear in accordance with the Class of the vessel.
The most common system for large vessels is based on conventional pump units with continuously
running pumps and direction signals carried out by ordinary control valves. Typical motor
controllers for this system are: DOL (direct on line), star-delta and autotransformers.
The AS02 alarm system is designed to meet the regulations of the classification societies,
SOLAS and IMO for a ships steering gear system. One alarm system AS02 can monitor two
pumps.
Alarm panels
CAN bus
Note!
Note!
The auto start signal is a 3 sec. pulse only.
Stop (maintenance).
The alarm ―Power failure control‖ will be activated in position "stop" and "local control" as an
information to the crew on the bridge that remote control is out of function.
Solenoid driver:
The driver has been developed to avoid the problems with switching of high inductive current
solenoids. The two main problems are:
Voltage drop on the supply lines due to long distance between bridge and steering gear
compartment.
Welding and heavy wear of relay- and switch contacts due to high inductive of the solenoids.
Function:
The driver is a dual electronic power relay with the following features:
Low input current. The input resistance of the relay is 1k which gives an input current of 24 mA
at 24 V supply. This current is high enough to ensure reliable contact function of mechanical
switches, and low enough to avoid problems with wear and welding of contacts. Besides, the
current is purely resistive.
Input filter. The input signal is low pass filtered through a RC-circuit to avoid noise from trigging
the output transistor.
Threshold limit. To make the output transistor turn on, the input signal has to exceed 15 V. This
is accomplished by means of a zener diode in the signal line and helps shut out false signals.
Protected output. A zener diode protects the output transistor from over voltage due to kickback
from the solenoid.
Choice of polarity. Connection to the appropriate input terminals give the user a choice of
common plus or common minus to suit the polarity at the output of the control system.
The drive shaft follows the turning of the rudder stock and
transfer the movement to the transmitters [1] and the
tripping releaser for the limit switches [2].
The supply for the control system is powered from corresponding motor controller. The two
systems are therefore both hydraulically and electrically separate and independent.
The pump control card can be used as a separate control system or together with Aux. steering
unit. The pump control card can be interfaced to different steering modes and external equipment.

Warning
The following warnings and cautions are for your safety, for the prevention of injury from electric
shock and for a safe operation of the equipment. Also see chapter 2.
While performing maintenance tasks, always position the equipment (and yourself) on a stable
and safe surface.
Ensure that all accessible cables cannot be walked on, tripped over or damaged by
transportable items.
If a device is damaged or fails to function correctly, disconnect it from the power source. Refer
to the system drawings to locate the nearest fuse/circuit breaker, see chapter 12 Design
Drawings.
Do not attempt to repair any sub-component yourself – consult a qualified Rolls-Royce service
technician.
A serious electrical shock hazard exists within the covers of some components (i.e. displays)
and on marked locations inside the cabinets (marked with 220 VAC or 24 VDC).
Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION!
It is very important that you are connected to ground before touching any electronic components or
printed circuit boards.
The life span of electronics can be affected by damage caused by electrostatic discharge. This can
happen if a charged tool or person touches a component.
Therefore it is very important that all tools and personnel are discharged by touching a grounded
point before the printed circuit board or any of the components are touched. It is equally important
to discharge the package with the new component before opening it.
A person walking on a carpet can be charged with up to fifteen thousand volt (15000 V). In worst
case, some sensitive components can be destroyed when discharged with about 100 V.
In connection with scheduled class survey, general overhaul or repair we advise to use engineers
from our factory or factory trained engineers from our service representatives in different countries.
This will limit the time of repair to a minimum and ensure continuous safe operation.
