    When opening the covers of Marex 3D components you may be exposed to dangerous voltages or other risks. Only the cover of the Marex 3D Controller may be opened. Do not open any other covers for service or inspection. Do not attempt to repair a damaged component yourself.

    Guide. see also chapter 1.2, Required and additional documentation, on page 6. 10.2 Marex 3D Marex 3D provides a separate control unit. If the 3D Controller detects a failure, it will trigger an alarm which will be signaled at the joystick.

  • Page 95: 10.3 Alarm Signals

    Errors will be signaled via the system error indicator at the joystick. The indicator is visible only when lit. An error can be originated in the Marex 3D-system, but it can also be relayed from the MarexOSor ECS system. This ensures that the operator is informed on the condition of the overall system at all times.

  • Page 96: 10.4 Possible Alarm Causes And Impact

    If there is no indication related to the thrusters, check the error display at the 3D Controller for further information. – For errors in Marex 3D, refer to the next chapter. – For errors caused by MarexOSIII proceed as described in the MarexOSIII Service Manual.

    Normally, this would cause unwanted movement towards ahead or astern. In such case, Marex 3D will interrupt the actuation of the thrusters and limit the operability of the joystick to longitudinal movements. You can move the ship ahead or astern and have a remaining function on the joystick to stop the ship for example.

    There will be no heading compensation. There will be no restriction for maneuvers to ahead or astern. Be aware that Marex 3D cannot detect if all drives function suitably for 3D-mode. Always observe thoroughly if the ship behaves as expected when maneuvering in 3D-mode. If you state deviations from the normal operation, release the joystick so that the driving units are not longer actuated.
