Keyswitch panel overview

The keyswitch panel shown in figure 4 is used in
conjunction with the digital panel. The switches are
protected from the entry of water, but if the control
panel is in an exposed location, it should be protected
by a cover when not in use.
Below is a description of the lamps and switches on
the keyswitch panel.
1. Engine crank - turns the engine over.
2. Warning lamp - indicates a problem.
3. Diagnostic lamp - indicates active diagnostics
codes.
4. Engine stop switch - stops the engine.
5. Panel on/off switch - energises the panel.
Caution: If the audible warning device operates, the
warning light(s) on the panel will indicate the engine
affected. Reduce the speed of the engine affected to
idle and, if necessary, stop the engine.
Throttle synchronization and slow
vessel mode panel
The function of this switch in figure 5 is to have one of
the throttles designated as the master throttle.
1. Engine selection switch.
2. Slow vessel mode switch.
3. Spare switch location.
When the switch is not activated, each engine will
respond to the appropriate throttle. When activated,
all the engines will respond to the master throttle.

Slow vessel mode operation

This reduces the low idle of the engine to 600rpm.
This allows the operation of the vessel at slow speeds
with engines in gear for manoeuvring.
