1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. SYSTEM SUMMARY
Bjørge Marine Automation “Integrated Automation System” monitors the vessel's

main engine and auxiliary equipment and gives alarms if abnormal conditions occur.
In addition, when the system is configured as a process control system, it controls
valves, pumps and fans through easy to use graphic pictures.
The system from Bjørge Marine Automation is called SMART®Chief II, and is a fully
distributed system meaning that it will eliminate extensive interface cabling. Requires
only 2 twisted pair between the controller nodes.
The system consists of separated alarm panels with LCD display (group alarm
panels) installed on bridge and accommodation.
The alarm system is equipped with monitors and printers. The monitors can either be
connected directly up to respective workstations or via the main bus system,
Ethernet. The printer will normally be connected to respective workstation.
The communication between bridge alarm panels and the alarm panels mounted in
accommodation and SMART®Chief II workstation is done via serial line.
All alarm panels work independently, a fault on one panel does not affect the other
panels.
The control and monitoring of valves and pumps are integrated in the system.
Valves and pumps can be remote operated from SMART®Chief II workstations with
status indication on relevant monitors.
Selection of stand-by pumps (unit) can be made from workstation dedicated for this
purposes and with status indication on relevant monitor.
All workstations are connected to high-speed dual redundant data communication

network based on Ethernet.
It is possible to replace any of the I/O modules without affecting any other parts of the
system and without switching off the active station.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.2. USER INTERFACE

3.1 CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
3.1.1. Introduction
The Channel Configuration function gives you the possibility to change several
parameters for the sensor, such as alarm delay, alarm limits, block alarms and
calibrate the sensor-input. To activate the Channel Configuration page just click on
one of the values on the Group Status Report page ( login as Chief ). The Channel
Configuration page will then be displayed on top of the Group Status Report page.
If one sensor is repeatedly giving alarms and you have checked that there is no real
alarm condition in the process, you can check the alarm limits, maybe they are wrong
or too near the working value. It is also possible that the delay time must be
changed. If the sensor is defect, you can use the Alarm Block function.

The following chapter explains how to change the configuration parameters for each
channel.
3.2. ALARM EDIT - LIMITS
The Alarm Edit Limits page list information regarding alarm limits, alarm delay,
system group and alarm block setting.
To adjust one of the alarm limits (High High, High, Low or Low Low limits) key in the

4.1. INTRODUCTION
Figure 4.1: Alarm Panel.
The SMART®Chief II EAS (Extension Alarm System) is an optional package supplied

with the SMART®Chief II main alarm system that supplies bridge personnel and
engine room personnel with alarm information when the engine room is left
unattended. Alarms are displayed on bridge and in the accommodation when the
engine room is unattended. Buzzers will sound on the bridge, mess/dayroom and in
the cabin of the engineer on duty. Additionally, when the engine room is attended,
alarms will be displayed on all panels, though without Buzzers.
Only the workstation(s) in the engine control room is configured to transfer the engine
room watch duty to the engineers.
All alarm channels connected to the SMART®Chief II are divided into alarm groups
(bridge groups). These alarm groups are organized according to the levels of the
individual alarms. The priority given by the system to the individual alarms are
programmed at the factory and cannot be altered without using a special
programming device. Information regarding the alarm groups and their priority is
described in the Alarm List (I/O List).

4.2. ECR WATCH DUTY
On vessels with EAS (Extension Alarm System) this function is used to transfer the
watch duty between the engineers. This function is only available from
workstation(s) in the engine control room.
A few examples will show how this function is used:
Example 1: How to go from Attended to Unattended.
You have to press Silence (F11) before you are able to change the watch duty.
The engine room is attended. To transfer the engine room watch duty to the Chief
Engineer, press the Select button in the Status Area.
The Watch Responsibility Setting page is then be displayd.

To transfer the engine room watch duty to the Chief Engineer just click on the
“CHIEF” button.
The “UNATTENDED” lamp will start flashing on all EAS panels and a buzzer will
sound on the bridge panel.
For acceptance of the transfer to unattended the “ACK / ENTER” key is pressed on
the bridge panel, the sound is muted and the red flashing text on the workstation
changes to solid black text.
The “UNATTENDED” lamp is now changed to solid green and the “ON DUTY” lamp
is lit on the “Chief Engineer” panel. To get a steady light in the “ON DUTY” lamp on
the “Chief Engineer” panel just push the “ACK / ENTER” button on this panel.
All new alarms triggered in system will now generate a sound in the buzzer on the
bridge panel, in the panel in the Chief Engineer’s cabin, and in the panel(s) in the
mess/dayroom(s).
All EAS-panels will give the same information. The difference is which panels that
are sounding.
Example 2: How to go from one engineer on duty unattended to attended
You have to press Silence (F11) before you are able to change the watch duty.
The Chief Engineer is on duty. To transfer the duty to attended , just click on the
“ECR Attended” button in the Watch Responsibility Setting page.
The “unattended” lamp in all panels will now be switch off. No sound will appear in
the buzzers in attended mode, but all alarms will be present in the display.
To change duty from one engineer to another in unattended mode, you first have to
change to attended (Example2) and then change to the specific engineer (Example1)

4.3. EAS OPERATION
Regardless of whether the engine room is attended or not, all alarms will be
displayed on the EAS panels. Depending on whether the engine room is attended or
not, the following operating procedures are followed.
Engine Room Attended
1. If the main alarm system has detected an abnormal condition on one of the
alarm channels, an alarm is triggered and the siren and rotating light in the
engine room is activated. The red lamp in the respective alarm group

2. The alarm is acknowledged in the engine control room by pressing Silence

and then Alarm Ack (Silence mutes the siren, and Alarm Ack switches off
the rotating light). The lamp in the EAS panels stops flashing, but lights
continuously until the alarm is acknowledged.
Engine Room Unattended
1. If the main alarm system has detected an abnormal condition on one of the
alarm channels, an alarm is generated. The red lamp in the respective
alarm group (bridge group) in all EAS panels starts flashing A buzzer in the
bridge panel, in the ECR, in the mess/dayroom panels and in the engineer
on duty’s cabin panel sounds, together with the siren in the engine room.
2. When the engineer on duty has pressed Silence on his panel, the sound in
the mess/dayroom panels will mute
3. By pressing the Silence key on other panels, the buzzers in the respective
panels are silenced locally.
4. When the Silence key on the keyboard in the engine control room is
pressed, the siren in the engine room is deactivated. The red light in the
alarm group (bridge group) lamp stops flashing, but lights continuously
until the alarm is acknowledged. The silence from ECR will also mute all
EAS-panels if they are not muted locally, while the rotating light in the
engine room will be on until the alarm(s) is acknowledged.
5. If the system is supplied with a Deadman system, this will automatically be

switched on when alarms occur in the unattended mode.

4.3.1. Description of Panel Operation
The alarm panel is divided into four parts. The upper part consists of a LCD display,
below the display there is a row with system indication, the lower left part have twelve
alarm groups and the lower right part have some function keys for operating the
panel.
1. The LCD display used is a 8 x 40 characters graphic display with el. backlight.
The backlight is controlled from the light and dimmer key on the keyboard part,
and the contrast must be adjusted by a potentiometer with a small screwdriver.
The potentiometer is located below the front plate on the right side of the
panels casing.
2. The system indication row, consist of five LED’s with corresponding text to the
function. The red “Alarm” LED is lit for each alarm indicated in the display and
fault alarms from the alarm panel. The red “Engineer Alarm” LED is lit when
this function has been activated from the system, or this function has been
activated from the local panel.
The “Deadman” LED has two colours, green and red, and is lit green when the
“Deadman” system has been turned “on”, flashing green when the “Deadman
Warning” has been activated and flashing red when the timer has elapsed and

the “Deadman Alarm” has been activated.
The “Unattended” LED is lit green when the watch duty has been changed by
the engineer from “Attended mode” to “Unattended mode”.
The “On Duty” LED is flashing green on cabin panel for the engineer on duty
until the engineer has accepted by pressing the Ack. / Enter key, then you get
steady green light.
3. There are twelve alarm groups on the panel, each with a red LED and with
corresponding text field with backlight. The red LED will be activated if there is
an alarm in the corresponding alarm group. The backlight is controlled by the
dimmer and light key.
4. There are twelve function keys on the panel, four of them are arrows for
controlling the cursor in the display.
The “Menu” key is used to get status information about the panel. To get this,
keep the “Menu” key down for three seconds.
The F1 and F2 key are not in use.
The “Ack. / Enter” key is used for acknowledge of watch duty on the bridge panel
and in the cabin panel.
The “Call” key will activate the Engineer Alarm if you keep this key down for more
than three seconds.
The “Light” key turns on the backlight in the display. The backlight switches
automatically off by a timer. By pressing this key for more than three seconds you
will get a lamp test on the display.
The “Dimmer” key is used to decrease or increase the intensity on all lamps and
backlight in the display, this key must be pressed until desired light intensity have
been obtained.

The “Silence” key resets the buzzer locally and sends a message to the alarm
central that the key is pressed. If the engineer “on duty” is pressing this key on his
panel, this will also silence other accommodation panels.
The alarm panel has five plugs for connections, X1 to X5.

X1: Main 24VDC supply.
X2: Backup 24VDC supply.
X3: External buzzer.
X4: Network connection left loop.
X5: Network connection right loop.
See drawings for more connection details.

The alarm panel also has an address dipswitch, where you in a binary code are able
to set the alarm panels node address. Information about node addresses will be in
the drawings and in the technical information.
4.4. HARBOUR MODE
When the engineer is transferring the watch duty from attended to unattended engine
room, the bridge must acknowledge, as described in the chapter 4.2.
When the ship is in a harbour, there is no one on duty on the bridge, and therefore
nobody to acknowledge the transfer of the duty. The function "HARBOUR MODE"
solves this problem.
Then a text "Harbour Mode ON" in the Status Window will be displayed, and the
operator can change the watch duty to the cabins without any need of acknowledge
from the bridge. The light "Harbour Mode" at all the EAS-panels will light as long as
the system is in harbour mode.

5.1. INTRODUCTION
The Deadman alarm system is designed to improve the safety of engine room
personnel. The system is activated by any personnel that are entering the engine
room or by the SMART®Chief II System whenever an alarm is activated in
Unattended mode. Once the system is activated, a reset button has to be pressed
within a predetermined time period, usually 30 minutes, to indicate that everything is
well with the personnel in the engine room. If the reset button is not pressed within a
time period of 27 minutes, the siren will give a warning. The personnel will now have
3 minutes to press “Reset button” if not, an alarm will be sent to the SMART®Chief II
System which in turn will activate an Deadman Alarm to get emergency help to the
personnel in the engine room.
5.2. DAILY USE
Deadman system operator interface consists of on/off push buttons to activate the
system and reset buttons to give an «everything is OK» acknowledge to the system.
The on/off pushbuttons have built in a lamp that is lit when the Deadman system is
ON.
When someone enters the engine room, the person must press the on/off push-
button to activate the system. A green light in the button indicates that the system is
activated. The person may now start working in the engine room. When Deadman -
system is turned on, the sign “Deadman“ on the Alarm panel (EAS panel) will light
green. “Deadman ON” will also be indicated on the workstation(s). It will show how
much time you have left before the timer expires and gives a warning. After a
predetermined time, usually 27 minutes, has passed, siren pulsing will indicate that a
reset of the Deadman timer is necessary. Pressing any of the reset push buttons in
the engine room carries out the reset. This has to be done within 3 minutes,
otherwise an Deadman Alarm will be carried out to get emergency help to the
personnel in the engine room.

When the reset is carried out, the personnel can resume his work for another time
period.
If a Deadman Alarm has been activated in the alarm system, it can be acknowledged
by the “Silence” button on the workstations in the ECR or by the Deadman system
push buttons.
The Deadman system is deactivated by pressing the on/off pushbutton. The green
light in the button will be switched off indicating that the system has been turned off.
You have to press Silence (F11) before you are able to switch off the Deadman
system.
When the Deadman system is activated, the remaining Deadman-timer will be

displayed in the workstations.

5.2.1. Step-by-step Instructions
There are three ways to activate the Deadman system:
1. When entering the engine room:

Push the green on / off pushbutton by the engine room entry.
2. In unattended mode:
The Deadman system is activated automatically if an alarm is triggered.
3. In ECR, use the menu on the workstation.

When the system is activated, it works as follow:
1. It starts to count down from the predetermined time (normally 30 minutes).
2. A green light in the on / off button indicates that the system is activated.
The workstations will indicate “Deadman ON” and the Alarm panels will have a
steady green light in the Deadman lamp.
3. When the time has counted down to 3 minutes, the siren starts to pulse to
indicate that a reset of the Deadman timer is necessary. This is called the
“Deadman Warning”. The workstations will indicate “Deadman Warning” and
the Alarm panels will flash Green in the Deadman lamp.
4. Within 3 minutes, you will have to press the reset button in the engine room,
otherwise an Deadman Alarm will be carried out on the EAS system to get
emergency help to the personnel in the engine room. This alarm can be reset
pressing the “Silence” button on the workstation in the ECR, or by pressing the
Deadman system push buttons.
5. If the reset-button is pressed within the predetermined time, normally 30

minutes, a new countdown will start.
6. If an accident has occurred in the engine room then nobody are able to press
the reset button. An Deadman Alarm will then be activated and emergency
help should be directed to the engine room to check upon the personnel
working there.
7. The Deadman system is deactivated when the engine room is left unattended
by pushing the green on/off push button by the Engine room entrance and by
the menu on the workstation in the ECR.
You have to press Silence (F11) before you are able to switch off the
Deadman system.

Due to local requirements some systems are configured to always have the
Deadman system on when running in Attended mode. The rest of the functions
are equal to the description on last page.
