2 General information
This manual contains the general guidelines and information required for installing MTU Monitoring and
Control Systems. The information is of a general nature and does not deal with particular problems involved
in installation.
The control consoles in which MTU Monitoring and Control Systems are installed are defined as follows:
The assemblies installed in the main control console are for centralized display and operation. The equip-
ment is generally intended for installation in a console and is unsuitable for installation in exposed control
consoles unless otherwise stated.
Auxiliary control consoles are intended for additional monitoring and control. Additional control consoles may
be installed depending on the Monitoring and Control System concerned. Assemblies and equipment inten-
ded for installation in auxiliary control consoles are generally designed for console installation. The assem-
blies are only suitable for installation in exposed control consoles to a certain extent. Additional steps can be
taken to increase the degree of protection.
The assemblies required in the immediate vicinity of the engine are installed in the engine room. They are
prepared for wall-mounting on flexible mounts.
Every MTU delivery includes the diagrams and drawings to allow the customer to plan installation and wiring
of the equipment (the scope of diagrams and drawings depends on the order).
These MTU drawings are organized as follows:
¯ Cover sheet
- Title
- Drawing number

Cabling
The cable types stated in the schematic ship wiring diagram are recommended by MTU. Should the custo-
mer wish to use other types of cable, the maximum permissible external cable diameter at the connectors
must be taken into consideration.
The electrical properties of cables selected by the customer must be comparable with the specifications of
cable types recommended by MTU. Pay particular attention to the degree of shielding and the capacitance
and inductance per unit length to ensure that the electrical equipment functions correctly. Mechanical
strength, resistance to oil and acid and the longitudinal water tightness of the cables must be ensured.
Note: MTU is in no way responsible for malfunctions, faults or damage resulting from the use of
unsuitable cables.
In addition to the cables represented in the schematic ship wiring diagram, the following information is
included:
These are standard circuit diagrams (see fig. 3) conforming with DIN 40 719, part 3, not related to any parti-
cular order. They are not specifically customized for a particular order. Information and designations in the

about all measuring and control signals including measuring range, alarm function, delay time etc.
3 Installation
This chapter includes general information about the installation of all monitoring and control components and
is not specifically related to a particular order. Important general information for mounting, installation and
connection to other components is provided for each device.
The configuration of devices in the control consoles must take general ergonomic factors into account (see
documentation: Ergonomic guidelines for console design, Part 2). Make sure that the units can be operated
easily.
Ensure that devices installed in the engine room are fitted as directed. The devices should be arranged in
such a way as to allow visual contact with the engine when they are being operated.
Note: Pay particular attention to the required degree of waterproofing. Particular care is required when
installing devices in consoles and on flying bridges to ensure that the operating side of the
devices are not splashed with water. The installation notes in the following sections apply in
individual cases.
Installation work carried out by the customer must be executed correctly. MTU shall in no way be respon-
sible for malfunctions, faults and damage resulting from incorrect installation of the devices, caused particu-
larly by dust, drillings, paint mist etc. during construction. Pay attention to the following information:
Notes on wiring
¯ The systems must be wired up and installed in accordance with the specifications in the MTU
wiring diagrams.
¯ Use the grounding inserts supplied for connecting shields on cable entries.
¯ Never attempt to shorten prefabricated connecting cables with integral connectors supplied by
MTU. Contact MTU in good time if shorter or longer connecting cables are required (delivery
time approx. 10 – 12 weeks).
¯ MTU can also supply connecting cables specifically suited to meet customer requirements on
request during the planning phase.
Installation notes
¯ Devices must be installed as intended and delivered. Never remove protective housings.
¯ Degrees of protection and fixing points stated in the installation drawings are binding.
¯ Devices must be adequately protected against the ingress of water. Consult MTU in case of
doubt.
¯ Modifications to devices and the installation of additional facilities require our approval.
Plug connections
¯ MTU always supplies the appropriate mating connectors and parts for plug connections.
¯ A sufficient number of spare pins are supplied by MTU for wiring plug connections. Always
insert a pin even when not in use. Spaces in the sealing insert must be fitted with filler pins to
prevent the ingress of water into the connector.
¯ The customer may only seal shrink-fit parts on connectors after they have been checked by
MTU inspection personnel.
4 Assembly wiring
MTU supplies prefabricated cables for wiring the monitoring and control components in the main and auxi-
liary control consoles. These cables are fitted with suitable connectors and have a standard length of 4
meters unless otherwise stated.
Note: Never attempt to shorten a prefabricated cable to avoid impairing operational reliability.
MTU can also supply cables of different lengths. They must, however, be ordered from MTU in good time
(see chap. 3, “Notes on wiring”). The following information is required:
A standard cable of a similar length is supplied as a rule. Cable lengths which are not included in the MTU
program are charged at extra cost.
Types of cable recommended in the ship wiring diagram are to be used for wiring the monitoring and control
components. If other, equivalent types of cable are used, pay particular attention to the maximum permis-
sible outer diameter. If cables other than those specified by MTU are to be used, we strongly recommend
consulting the MTU project department (fax: 7541 – 90 – 6123) to avoid impairing operational reliability.
The shield must be grounded at both ends. Fit wire end ferrules to the ends of cables intended for terminal
connection (screw terminals). Use metal cable entries only to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.
Cable routing
¯ Signal cables must be divided into categories and routed in separate conduits. All signal lines
for MTU Monitoring and Control Systems must be divided into the categories “Insusceptible,
susceptible”.
¯ Route cables such that they are not subjected to vibration, particularly cables which are routed
to the engine and gear.
¯ When laying cables, make sure that they are not kinked beyond admissible limits. The bending
radius must not be less than 10 x the cable diameter.
r
r ≧ 10 x d
¯ Route the cables such that they are not subjected to chafing.
¯ Route the cables such that neither the cables nor their connections are subjected to strain.
Provide strain relief if necessary.
¯ Maintain a suitable distance to exhaust pipes or other components which give off heat. Insulate
suitably if necessary.
¯ Protect cables by means of suitable cable ducts or covers in places where there is a risk of
damage.
¯ Never route cables around areas which are still hot from welding.
Wire cross-sections
The wire cross-sections for signal cables are stated in the schematic ship wiring diagram (SM). Cross-
sections smaller than the specified values are inadmissible.
The required cross-sections for cables to the starter, alternator and batteries are stated in the diagrams in
MTU drawing no. 500 001 05 99.

Contact cavities which are not assigned must be fitted with appropriate contacts or dummy plugs.
If no dummy plugs are available, wires can also be crimped in the contacts which are not required. The wires
are then cut out of the insulation at the point of exit. This ensures the necessary sealing and strain relief of
the individual wires.

Do not use wire end ferrules for spring terminals. The connections are not established by screws, they are
clamped and secured by a spring. The spring ensures consistent contact quality. Voltage drop at the con-
tacts is low.
It is not necessary to change systems which have been delivered with wire end ferrules already fitted provi-
ding that the wire end ferrules have been properly secured with a crimping tool. However, no wire end
ferrules should be fitted on new installations.
Strip the appropriate wires by 8 mm – 10 mm before establishing a connection with a spring terminal.
The large-surface clamp of the CAGE CLAMP spring presses against the conductor without damaging it. This
also applies to wires which are connected and disconnected several times.
Ship cables are routed into closed housings using cable glands according to DIN 89 280 when connectors
are not used. MTU supplies these cable glands. They prevent the ingress of splashwater and dirt into the
housing.
Nut
Select the size of cable gland appropriate to the outer diameter of the cable. The diameter of the bore in the
housing panel depends on the size of cable gland selected. The table below provides an overview of the
possible cable glands:

All cable glands supplied are suitable for the recommended types of cable.
Note: If cables other than those recommended by MTU are used, the cable glands and the correspon-
ding sealing rings and grounding inserts must be selected on the basis of the outer diameter of
the cable.
The glands differ only internally. Cable glands for shielded cables are provided with two grounding inserts for
shield connection inside the screw fixture.
The table below shows the relationship between cable dimensions and the cable glands and grounding
inserts to be used.
Select the seal so it encloses the outer sheath of the cable as tightly as possible.
Note: When assembling cable glands ensure that the cable gland, seal and grounding inserts are
appropriate to the cable used.
Note: Steps 5, 6 and 7 are only necessary when using shielded ship cables.
approx. 30 mm
HSK cable glands are used by MTU for leading through cables. They feature a patented anti-vibration and
anti-rotation element.
Cable glands with metric threads are used. The EMC version is used to establish contact between the cable
shielding braid and the housing.
HSK cable glands with metric threads fulfill DIN 40 050 protection index IP 68 up to 10 bar and are resistant
to oil and petrol.
Note: Use HSK cable glands with EMC if a cable shield is to be connected to the housing, see chap.

6 Interference suppression
6.1 Introduction
On-board high intensity radio interference represents a major source of disturbance for devices and
systems. It is also of little significance whether the devices and systems concerned involve low-level signal
electronics, or are used for the processing of information or power electronics involving control and auxiliary
electronic systems.
Furthermore, malfunctions or even failure of devices or component parts may result if cables are routed
incorrectly or poorly leading to interference.

Frame
6.2 Grounding
Devices are grounded on the one hand to ensure personal safety by avoiding hazardous currents. On the
other hand, grounding is necessary for reasons of EMC to allow induced, radio-frequency interference cur-
rents in shields and housings to be grounded.
Monitoring and control components, cable shielding and the radio system must not have a common ground.
This also applies to sonar system grounding.
The individual devices must be grounded at the intended grounding connections. The grounding lines should
be kept as short as possible and have an adequate cross-section.
Particular attention must be paid to planning and realizing the grounding system on ships with non-metallic
hulls. The grounding plates must have a surface area of at least 1.5 m2 and be attached on each side of the
keel. They must be interconnected using a conductor with a minimum cross-section of 100 mm2. Separate
grounding systems must be provided for antennae and transmitters and for sonar, Monitoring and Control

All the grounding lines on each deck are star-connected to a distributing plate. The connection of distributing
plates between decks and to the grounding plates must be established with an adequately dimensioned
cross-section.

6.3 Shielding
All shielded cables must be carefully grounded. Always ground the shields to the housing potential. Shielding
on one side is only acceptable in exceptional cases. The shields must be grounded at the intended shielding
inserts of the metallic or metal-plated cable entries or connectors (see chap. 4, page 18).
So-called “pig-tail grounding” of a shield is unacceptable. “Pig-tail grounding” means that the shield is con-
nected to a grounding terminal or stud via a wire “pig-tail”. When a shield is connected via a “pig-tail”, the
shield is generally inserted into the area to be protected additionally violating the concept of complete shiel-
ding or sheathing. This results in a part of the cable or line being unshielded. Furthermore, the “pig-tail”
represents a higher shield resistance which considerably reduces the shielding effect and increases the ten-
dency of the shield to emit radio interference.
Internal shields are intended to prevent line feedover within a cable. Internal shields are usually connected to
the reference potential of the circuit which they cover. If the transmission path is electrically isolated on one
side, the internal shields are usually only connected to circuit ground on the transmitter side, i.e. on the side
with the higher signal energy. Internal shields can often only be connected via a “pig-tail”. Make sure that the
unshielded part of the conductor is as short as posssible.
Internal and external shields must be carefully separated and must not be in electrical contact. The shields
are usually of different potential which may result in undesirable malfunctions or faults in the circuits in case
of an electrical connection between the shields.
Route data and signal cables away from supply or power cables. Avoid laying cables in parallel next to each
other. The distance between these lines should be at least 30 cm.
Data and signal cables may only cross disturbing cables or lines at an angle of 90°.
Cable and grounding bar paths must always be kept as short as possible. All lines for the grounding of
antennae and transmitters must be routed at a suitable distance from all other lines (at least 2 m). These
cables or lines must be crossed at an angle of 90°.
