Ship Remote Control System Repair Kits

Which Safety Steps To Consider For Remote Maneuvering System Of A Ship's Engine?

The remote control maneuvering system is of huge importance for deck officers and ship engineers. With its help, it is possible to steer the ship, without any issues. Consider using quality ship remote control system repair kits from a renowned South China-based marine equipment company for troubleshooting the ship remote system.

Whenever you are handling, maintaining, or operating the remote control system to maneuver a ship's engine, be sure to take these 9most essential safety steps.

1) When operating the remote control components, never open any cover or door or touch any machinery part as it can not only be dangerous but can also lead to malfunction.

2) To avoid the entry of foreign material or dust, put a cover or close the door on the devices, once the maintenance is performed on them.

3) Due to automatic slowdown or shutdown, if the main engine is stopped, then first move the maneuvering handle to the stop position, after which, continue troubleshooting before restarting the engine.

4) Before leaving or entering the port, make sure to check on all the remote control operations in the engine control room, from the maneuvering handle.

5) Make sure to switch off the supply, before you do maintenance of the remote control system's electrical circuit.

6) Make sure to check the electrical system's drawings before you work on it. As deposits and loose contacts are the most common causes of malfunction in the remote control maneuvering's electrical system, never skip the contact cleaning routine.

7) Make sure to turn off the power supply switches of the remote control system if the shore power is being connected to the ship in dry dock or lay up. This is required as voltage drop during the transfer of power supply can affect the remote control system, thus resulting in its failure of the operation.

8) Be sure to shut the air supply, draining the air inside the piping system, before going for any maintenance work in the remote control system's pneumatic part.

9) Never apply sealant or seal tape to the screws or to the pipe-fitting, when assembling the pipe-fitting to a pneumatic device. This will ensure that the detached parts don't fall into the piping or device.
