1 Structure and Function

1.1 Structure of Engine Telegraph Stations
1.1.1 Design Features of Engine Telegraph Stations
The engine telegraph station consists of microprocessor controlled electronics, built in a stan-
dard aluminium casing for panel mounting ( plug-in unit ) with 16-pole plug connector on the re-
ar side of the unit, where all electrical connections are carried out.
All operating push buttons and indications of the telegraph station are applied on the front plate
with special tropic resistant front foil.
The rear side of the unit consists of all HEX- and DIP-switches for adjustment of the telegraph
station as well as plug connector for electrical connections and plug connectors for printer resp.
printer interfaces.
The engine telegraph stations are available with text engravings for different languages.
For wall mounting, the engine telegraph station is also available in a ready wired cabinet with
terminal list for connection of external ships cable.
Each telegraph station is provided with two outputs for order and fault alarm. These outputs are
realised by relays with potentialfree change-over contacts.
Optional recording of telegraph order, RPM and clutch position is available by Data Transmitting
Interface Units MPI-5Z / MPI-5/Px, connected by serial data bus to the telegraph stations. Print
out may be provided on Order Printer PPB-2 as well as on common Log Printer or on additional
Order Printer controlled from the Engine Monitoring and Control System MCS-5.
1.1.2 Configuration of engine telegraph stations
The engine telegraph station are always configured via DIP-switch adjustment on rear side of
the station.
Following definitions of telegraph stations are possible with corresponding functions :
MASTER : - Works as transmitter or receiver.

- Switching on and off of power supply ( 24 V DC )
for the whole system.
- Transmitts order of rate of speed or acknowledge order of rate
of speed.
- On a system with station selection button :
Selection of telegraph station, which shall transmitt order of rate of
speed and telegraph station, which shall receive and acknowledge
order of rate of speed.
- Order of rate of speed and acknowledge order of rate of speed.
SUBMASTER : - Works as receiver or transmitter.

- Acknowledge order of rate of speed or transmitt order of rate of speed.
SLAVE : - Works as receiver.

- Only receives and acknowledge order of rate of speed.
DISPLAY : - Only display of ordered rate rate of speed and the acknowledged rate
of speed.

Part 1
1.2 Structure of a MTS-5 System
1.2.1 General information
The telegraph system MTS-5 is designed as an engine telegraph or emergency engine tele-
graph system for display and order transmission of rate of speed for one propulsion engine.
The system consists of at least two display and control stations, which are installed in different
ship spaces ( e.g. wheelhouse and engine control room ). The telegraph stations are linked to-
gether by means of data bus interfaces RS-485 and are defined with different functions as MA-
STER, SUBMASTER, SLAVE or DISPLAY station.
In general, there are two versions of engine telegraph system MTS-5, which are different in the
design of the front foil and in the DIP-switch setting. One version is without station selection but-
tons, the other consists of always 4 telegraph station selection buttons with custom designed
text field ( for insertion in front foil ). By means of these buttons, the operator can define, which
telegraph station is allowed to order rates of speed and which telegraph station can acknowled-
ge the rate of speed order.
1.2.2 Engine telegraph system MTS-5
This system comprises engine telegraph stations without station selection buttons and may con-
sist of :
- 1 MASTER, 1 SUBMASTER and up to 6 DISPLAYS

or
- 1 MASTER, 1 SLAVE and up to 6 DISPLAYS.
Within this configuration, the MASTER can switch the whole system on and off, transmitt order
rate of speed and acknowledge orders for rate of speed.
The SUBMASTER can also transmitt order rate of speed and acknowledge orders for rate of
speed.
The SLAVE can only acknowledge orders for rate of speed.
The DISPLAY can only display ordered rate of speed and acknowledged orders for rate of
speed.
1.2.3 Engine telegraph system MTS-5/4
This system comprises engine telegraph stations with station selection buttons and may consist
of :
- 1 MASTER, several SUBMASTERS, SLAVES and DISPLAYS ( max. 8 stations )
Within this configuration, the MASTER can switch the whole system on and off, transmit order
rate of speed and acknowledge orders for rate of speed.
Additionally the MASTER can define by means of operation of station selection buttons, which
telegraph station can order rate of speed and which telegraph station can acknowledge orders
for rate of speed ( To select communicating stations, the buttons of these two stations have to
be pushed simultaneously ).
If the SUBMASTER is selected from the MASTER, it can also transmit order rate of speed and
acknowledge orders for rate of speed.
If the SLAVE is selected from the MASTER, it can only acknowledge orders for rate of speed.
The DISPLAY can only display ordered rate of speed and acknowledged orders for rate of
speed.

2.2 Setting to work
All further information refer to "Default"-setting of the system

( refer to chapter 3.2 : Adjustment of the system ).
The setting to work of a system without station selection push-button
CAUTION differs from systems with station selection push-button.
2.2.1 Setting to work of system ( MTS-5 ) without station selection
Switching on of the system is only carried out by means of push-button "ON" on the MASTER
station with the resulting actions on the system :
- The 24 V DC power supply connected to the MASTER is switched on, checked by the
MASTER for proper condition and then internally switched for power supply of all further
connected telegraph stations.
- All connected telegraph stations carry out an internal function test.

During this test, also a lamp test is performed, where all LED and also the push button
illumination are shortly activated. The internal buzzer sounds and the serial interface
connections with the correct number of distributed telegraph stations of the whole system
are tested by the MASTER unit.
After successful function test, following condition is presented on all connected

telegraph stations :
- The LED "ON" is activated

- The LED "FAULT" is deactivated
- The relay "FAULT" is operated ( indicating normal condition )
- The relay "ALARM" is operated
- The internal buzzer is activated
- Rate of speed "STAND BY" is ordered, that means
the LED "STAND BY" is blinking.
In case that a fault condition is detected during the function test, the LED "FAULT" is activated
either with steady or blinking light ( refer to chapter 3.4 : Fault messages ).
Presumed that the function test was carried out successfully the alarm signalling and the auto-
matically selected rate of speed "STAND BY" is acknowledged for the whole system by single
operation of push-button "STAND BY" at the MASTER station ( transmitter ).
After that operation, the LED "STAND BY" turns to steady light and the internal buzzer switches
off on all stations for indication of acknowledgement and the system is ready for further order
transmitting.
If above "STAND BY" acknowledgement is carried out at SUBMASTER ( receiver and transmit-
ter ) or SLAVE station ( receiver ) only the internal buzzer of this station will be deactivated. The
ordered rate of speed "STAND BY" is not acknowledged by that, that means, the LED "STAND
BY" is still blinking.
E531931/01E - 11.2004 - © MTU

Part 2
Page 14 Operation
After acknowledgement of ordered rate of speed "STAND BY" at the MASTER station, the sy-
stem presents following condition on all connected telegraph stations :

- The relay "FAULT" is operated
- The relay "ALARM" is not operated
- The internal buzzer is deactivated
- Rate of speed "STAND BY" is acknowledged, that means
the LED "STAND BY" is activated with steady light.
At this stage the system is ready for transmission of further order entries ( refer to
chapter 2.4 : Ordering rate of speed ).
2.2.2 Setting to work of system ( MTS-5/4 ) with station selection
Switching on of the system is carried out only by means of push-button "ON" on the MASTER
station with the resulting actions on the system :
- The 24 V DC power supply connected to the MASTER is switched on, checked by the
MASTER for proper condition and then internally switched for power supply of all further
connected telegraph stations.
- All connected telegraph stations carry out an internal function test.

During this test, also a lamp test is performed, where all LED and also the push button
illumination are shortly activated. The internal buzzer sounds and the serial interface
connections with the correct number of distributed telegraph stations of the whole system
are tested.
After successful function test, following condition is presented on all connected

telegraph stations :

- The relay "FAULT" is operated ( indicating normal condition )
- The relay "ALARM" is operated
- Rate of speed "STAND BY" is ordered, that means
the LED "STAND BY" is blinking.
- All LED´s for station selection are deactivated
In case that a fault condition is detected during the function test, the LED "FAULT" is activated
either with steady or blinking light ( refer to chapter 3.4 : Fault messages ).
Presumed that the function test was carried out successfully the alarm signalling and the auto-
matically selected rate of speed "STAND BY" is acknowledged for the whole system by single
operation of push-button "STAND BY" at the MASTER station ( transmitter ).
After that operation, the LED "STAND BY" turns to steady light and the internal buzzer switches
off on all telegraph stations for indication of acknowledgement and the system is ready for furt-
her required adjustments of station selection. This configuration of the system is carried out by
station selection push-buttons on MASTER station only ( refer to chapter 2.3 : Configuration of
station push-buttons ).

Operation Page 15
If a "STAND BY" acknowledgement take place only at SUBMASTER ( receiver or transmitter )

or SLAVE station ( receiver ) only the internal buzzer of this telegraph station will be deactivat-
ed. The ordered rate of speed "STAND BY" is not acknowledged by that, that means, the LED
"STAND BY" is still blinking.
After acknowledgement of ordered rate of speed "STAND BY" at the MASTER station, the sy-
stem presents following condition on all connected telegraph stations :

- The relay "FAULT" is operated
- The internal buzzer is deactivated
- Rate of speed "STAND BY" is acknowledged, that means
the LED "STAND BY" is activated with steady light.
- All LED´s for station selection are deactivated
At this stage the system is ready for selection of system configuration by means of station selec-
tion push-button at MASTER station only.
i
Note : - Even before a selection of system configuration is carried out, a new rate of
speed might be ordered at the MASTER station. The new rate of speed is in-
dicated by blinking LED of concerning rate of speed and activation of alarm
relay on all units.
Acknowledgement of preselected order of rate of speed is only possible after
configuration of station push-button by selection at MASTER station and its
following acknowledgement at concerning receiver station.
2.3 Setting of station push-buttons
The configuration of a system can only be selected, if the system consists of telegraph stations
with station selection push-buttons ( e.g. MTS-5/4 ).
The configuration of the system is carried out by station selection push-buttons on MASTER
station ( only MASTER is allowed for setting and changing of configurations ). By configuring the
system, the operator defines, which telegraph station may order rates of speed ( transmitter )
and which station (receiver ) may acknowledge these orders.
Rates of speed can only be ordered after the operator has selected a configuration for the sy-
stem and its following acknowledgement at concerning receiver station.
The selection of a configuration is carried out on the MASTER station by pressing the two desi-
red station selection push-buttons simultaneously. When the configuration is carried out once
after setting to work of the system, the operator can select another configuration from the MA-
STER by pressing of two different station selection push-buttons simultaneously. A selection of
system configuration is always possible at MASTER station even with unacknowledged previ-
ous selection of configuration or order for rate of speed.
After pressing the selected two station push-buttons, the ordered station selection LED´s on all
connected telegraph stations are blinking. An alarm ( internal buzzer and relay "ALARM" ) is on-
ly activated on selected telegraph stations.
E531931/01E - 11.2004 - © MTU

Part 2
Page 16 Operation
The selected configuration must be acknowledged on both telegraph stations in question by

pressing the concerning station selection push-button besides the blinking LED once. Only after
acknowledgement on both telegraph stations, the internal buzzer and the "ALARM" relay are
deactivated and the station selection LED´s are turned to steady light.
Special functions :
- If one of the selected stations is the MASTER station, the selection is acknowledged
at once by the MASTER. That means, the concerning station selection LED turns im-
mediately to steady light and the "ALARM" is not activated at MASTER station.
- A selection of system configuration at MASTER station can only be acknowledged at

the concerning receiver station.
- The MASTER station is allowed to change the configuration order before the previously
ordered configuration is acknowledged by the corresponding telegraph stations.
- If two SLAVE stations are ordered by the operator, the selection will be ignored.
- Non-selected telegraph stations can not acknowledge the ordered configuration.
- The adjusted rate of speed remains while changing the configuration of the system.
- A new rate of speed can always be ordered even with unacknowledged selection of con-
figuration or previous order of rate of speed, but acknowledgement of this order is only
possible at receiver station after selection of configuration has been acknowledged.
- Operation of undefined station selection push-buttons are ignored.

2.4 Ordering rate of speed
A new rate of speed can only be ordered if
• the telegraph station is defined as MASTER or SUBMASTER.
• within a system with station selection push-buttons, the telegraph station is one of
the two selected stations within the configuration.
For ordering the rate of speed, the desired push-button has to be pressed once by the operator
with following results in the system :
- The corresponding LED beside the push-button and text-field for ordered rate of
speed is blinking.
- The relay "ALARM" is activated.
- The internal buzzer is activated.
( this is valid for all telegraph stations )
Special functions :
- The rate of speed "STAND BY" can only be ordered if either "STOP" or "FINISH WITH
ENGINE" was ordered and acknowledged before.
- The rate of speed "FINISH WITH ENGINE" can only be ordered if either "STOP" or
"STAND BY" was ordered and acknowledged before.
- The telegraph stations MASTER and/or SUBMASTER may order rates of speed but
they can not acknowledge these orders by themselves. The acknowledgement must
always be carried out at the concerning receiver station.
2.5 Acknowledgement of rate of speed
A new ordered rate of speed can only be acknowledged if
• the telegraph station is defined as receiver station.
• within a system with station selection push-buttons, the telegraph station is one of
the two selected stations within the configuration.
For acknowledgement the order of rate of speed, the push-button beside the blinking LED has
to be pressed once by the operator with following results in the system :
- The corresponding LED beside the push-button and text-field for ordered rate of
speed is turning to steady light.
- The relay "ALARM" is deactivated.
- The internal buzzer is deactivated.
( this is valid for all telegraph stations )

Part 2
Page 18 Operation
2.6 Illumination control
The brightness of LED as well as brightness of push-button iand text-field llumination can be
controlled. Therefore each telegraph station is provided with a light-sensitive sensor which ad-
justs the basic brightness of illumination automatically in dependence of ambient brightness.
The range of controlled illumination can be predefined by the operator. By pressing the push-
button "DIMM", first of all a lamp test is carried out.
Lamp test : All LED and push-button illuminations are activated for appr. 3 seconds.
By that, the operator can check the function of illumination.
If the push-button "DIMM" is pressed for more than 3 seconds, the function "Dimming" is perfor-
med. With this function, the illumination is turned first of all to "dark" position. After reaching the
"darkest" position, the illumination is getting brighter again cyclic. The operator can choose the
desired brightness of illumination for the actual ambient condition by releasing the push-button.
The digital value of the actual adjustment of brightness and the corresponding value from the
light-sensitive sensor are stored then in the internal EEPROM of the telegraph station. Illumina-
tion control is then carried out in dependence from these values. The darker it is in the ambien-
ce, the darker also the illumination of the telegraph station is adjusted until the minimum value is
reached. The brighter the ambience, the brighter also the illumination of the telegraph station is
adjusted until the maximum value is reached.
Special case :
For the ambient brightness, a maximum limit is predetermined internally in the telegraph
station software. If this value is exceeded by the light-sensitive sensor, the illumination of
the push-buttons and all text-fields is switched off and all active or futher on released sig-
nal LED are turned to maximum brightness.
In this case, no further illumination control is carried out unless the measured value of
ambience drops below this limit again.
This function is introduced to extend the lifetime of the illumination. The condition can be
realised while pressing the "DIMM" push-button only results in a lamp test but no further
changes of brightness. At daylight, the limit normally is exceeded and therefore the tele-
graph station is not dimmed and text-field illumination is switched off.
i
Note : - In order to obtain a wide range of illumination control, the adjustment of
illumination should be carried out with dark ambience. In this case, the
operator adjust the desired "dark" brightness of the telegraph station by
releasing the "DIMM" push-button.
At dark ambience it is ensured, that the light-sensitive sensor is at minimum
level and therefore the whole sensor value range is available for illumination
control.

Safety requirements for service, maintenance and repair

Decisive for the permanent readiness and reliability of the system is the observance of the
preventive maintenance schedule in due time and the exact performance of maintenance and
repair works.
Each time before starting with maintenance and repair works, respectively before switching off
the required system parts, the responsible operations staff has to be called for allowance.
In case of works at system components supplied with high, middle or low voltage, the corre-
sponding power supply has to be switched off and protected against unauthorized operation.
If power supply is required for the execution of the maintenance work, a special remark is given
in the documentation.
The personnel ordered for the maintenance and repair work has to carry out the work according
to the instruction mentionend in the documentation.
For maintenance and repair work, suitable tools and expendable material have to be used.
Only original spare parts have to be used in case of replacement of defective components. For
damages, which result of the usage of other spare parts, all responsibility of the manufacturer is
excluded. In addition, the guarantee of manufacturer is expired.
Spare parts have to be stored appropriate before the replacement, specially protected against
humidity. Defective electronic components have to be packed appropriate for transport for
repair, that means specially protected against humidity, shock proof and with antistatic foil,
if required.
On damages, which may not be cleared by the personnel, the MTU service or its representative
has to be informed for further assistance.
Arbitrary reconstructions or changes of the system will result in loss of responsibility and gua-
rantee of the manufacturer.
After each repair, a function test of the corresponding device or plant has to be carried out.
A separate function test of the repaired component without test of effected system parts is
not sufficient.
The electronic components have not to be polluted.
For the cleaning of foil key pad and display, only solvent free, non scraping and non acid
cleaners have to be used.

Adjustments with HEX-switches
• Hex-switch "SYSTEM"
Available setting range : 0 - 7 ( Setting 9 : see chapter 3.2.3 )

Default setting : 0
By means of this switch, the system is defined to which the station is connected to. Actual set-
ting is always "0" ( Default setting ). The adjustment of the system number is required in pro-
jects, where several engine telegraph systems ( more than one propulsion engine ) are connec-
ted to one printer unit. In order to differ from event and alarm printouts of different systems, the
system number is required.
• Hex-switch "UNIT ADDRESS"
Available setting range : 0 - 7

Default setting : depending on project specification,
different for all units within a system
By means of this switch, the network address of the concerning telegraph station within a sy-
stem is defined. A maximum of 8 telegraph stations can be linked together in a system.
i Note - It is not allowed to use identical "Unit Address"-settings for different telegraph
stations in a system.
Adjustments with DIP-switch
The DIP-switch is provided with 9 micro-switches ( On/Off-switches ), which are used to adjust
different special functions for the concerning telegraph station. The corresponding function is
printed beside the micro-switches on the rear plate of the telegraph station.
• Switches "STATION SELECT 1 - 4"
The function of the switches "Station Select 1 - 4" is described in chapter 3.2.2
• Switch "TX/RX"
ON : The concerning station is defined as transmitter ( TX ) and can order rate of

speed as well as acknowledge orders of rate of speed.
OFF : The concerning station is defined as receiver ( RX ) and can acknowledge

orders of rate of speed but cannot order rates of speed.
© MTU - 11.2004 - E531931/01E

• Switch "SOUND"
ON : At concerning telegraph station the relay "ALARM" and the internal buzzer
are activated at any order of rate of speed. If the order is acknowledged,
buzzer and alarm relay are turned off.
OFF : At concerning station ( transmitter ), the relay "ALARM" and the internal buz-
zer are not activated at order of rate of speed from this station. If another sta-
tion is defined as a transmitter and the order of rate of speed is carried out
there, the buzzer and alarm relay are always turned on at order and off at
acknowledgment of rate of speed at this concerning station ( receiver ).
i
Note - The adjustment of switch "Sound" is ignored, if the switch "TX/RX" on the
same telegraph station is set to "OFF"-position. That means, that the alarm
relay and the internal buzzer are always activated in case of any order of rate
speed, if this telegraph station is selected as receiver unit.
• Switch "DISPLAY"
ON : The concerning telegraph station is only operating as a display station.

Ordering rates of speed and acknowledgement of orders of rate of speed is
not possible.
In case of order of rate of speed from other station, the relay "ALARM" and
the internal buzzer are not activated.
By selection of this adjustment, the settings of switches "TX/RX" and
"SOUND" are ignored.
OFF : The telegraph station is operated according to adjustment of switches

"TX/RX" and "SOUND".
• Switch "OPTION"
For function see description 3.2.3 "Programming of quantity of telegraph

stations connected and communicating within a system"
• Switch "MASTER"
ON : At concerning telegraph station, the pressing of push-button "ON" switches on

( or "OFF" ) the power supply of the whole system presumed that the
connection of 24 V DC power supply for this station is connected to terminals
"24 V (in)" and "GND".
Only this station is allowed to carry out a system configuration.
OFF : At concerning telegraph station, the pressing of push-button "ON" is ignored.

3.2.2 Adjustment of station selection push-buttons
By means of switches "Station Select 1 - 4" the station selection push-buttons are free selecta-
ble on each telegraph station.
i
Note - The switches "Station Select 1 - 4" must always be adjusted to OFF-position in
systems without station selection push-buttons. It is not allowed to use identical
"Station Select x"-settings for different telegraph stations in a system. Only one of
these switches may be switched to ON-position.
Attachment of station selection push-buttons :
Station Select 1 : upper station selection push-button

Station Select 2 : below upper station selection push-button
Station Select 3 : above lower station selection push-button
Station Select 4 : lower station selection push-button
On telegraph station which is defined for concerning station selection push-button, also the cor-
responding "Station Select" switch has to be adjusted to "ON"-position.
Example :
Inscription of Number of Telegraph station

Station Selection Buttons Station Selection Button
Bridge 1 MASTER
MCR 2 SUBMASTER
ER 3 SLAVE
( empty ) 4 ( n.n. )
Following "Station Select" switches have to be adjusted on the different telegraph stations :
Telegraph station Adjustment of "Station Select" switch
MASTER Station Select 1 : ON

Station Select 2 : OFF
SUBMASTER Station Select 1 : OFF

Station Select 2 : ON
SLAVE Station Select 1 : OFF

Station Select 3 : ON
The MASTER recognizes the following incorrect adjustments of switches "Station Select" :
• on all telegraph stations except MASTER station, all "Station Select" switches are set to
"OFF"-position. The MASTER is the the only station, where a "Station Select" switch is
adjusted to "ON"-position.
• on a further station the "Station Select" switches are adjusted identically to the
MASTER setting.
© MTU - 11.2004 - E531931/01E

3.2.3 Programming of quantity of telegraph stations within the system
At setting to work of the system, the MASTER station is testing the correct function of all further
telegraph stations within the system. To ensure a reliable test for all connected stations, the
MASTER station must be adjusted and programmed for the correct quantity of connected tele-
graph stations within the system.
This adjustment procedure is normally carried out already by the manufacturer with order-spe-
cific settings. For readjustment of the system ( telegraph stations added or deleted or replace-
ment of stations in case of failures ) the following procedure must be carried out.
i
Note - The adjustment procedure must be absolutely carried out on the MASTER station
of the system. All other remaining stations might be configured as mentioned
above.
1. Switch off the system at MASTER station.
2. Set switch "OPTION" to "ON"-position
3. Adjust Hex-switch "SYSTEM" to position "9"

( Note down previous adjustment )
4. Adjust Hex-switch "UNIT ADDRESS" to the number for quantity of telegraph stations with
in the system ( e.g. system with three telegraph stations : "3" ).
( Note down previous adjustment )
5. Switch on the system again at MASTER station.
6. The station indicates the correct setting of "quantity of telegraph stations within the
system" by activation of LED´s for rate of speed, beginning from bottom to top
( e.g. system with three telegraph stations : LED´s for FULL, HALF and SLOW are
activated on ASTERN direction ).
7. Switch off the system at MASTER station.
9. Set switch "OPTION" to "OFF"-position
10. Adjust Hex-switch "SYSTEM" to previous position ( see note )
11. Adjust Hex-switch "UNIT ADDRESS" to previous position ( see note )
12. Switch on the system again at MASTER station.
E531931/01E - 11.2004 - © MTU

3.3 Function of relays
Relay "ALARM" : The relay "ALARM" is activated, if a rate of speed is ordered.

It is deactivated after acknowledgement of order of rate of speed.
Relay "FAULT" : After switching on the system from MASTER station, all connected telegraph
stations are carrying out an internal self test. If this test shows no faults, the
relay "FAULT" is activated which indicates a normal condition of the station.
In case of a fault, the relay is deactivated.
i
Note - The relay "FAULT" is deactivated in all fault conditions of the system and remains
deactivated as long as the fault condition is present.
The concerning "FAULT" output should therefore not be used directly for control of
external acoustical alarm devices ( normally , the output is used for fault alarm
message to monitoring system ).
3.4 Fault messages
Each telegraph station can indicate a fault condition on the station by means of LED "FAULT",
by relay "FAULT" and activation of internal buzzer at the station. The following fault conditions
are monitored by the system :
• Breakage in serial data line connection between telegraph stations.
After setting to work of the system, the MASTER station is testing the connection to all telegraph
stations within the system and stores internally the corresponding unit-addresses of these sta-
tions. During operation, the MASTER is checking appr. each 3 seconds the correct interconnec-
tion between all telegraph stations.
- Fault at setting to work of system with station selection push-buttons
The communication fault in a system with station selection push-buttons is presented at the dif-
ferent telegraph stations as follows.
Example : The following description refers to the following system configuration :
Telegraph station Unit No. Station Selection Button
MASTER ( Bridge ) 0 1
SUBMASTER ( ECR ) 1 2
SLAVE ( ER 1 ) 2 3
SLAVE ( ER 2 ) 3 4
Fault condition : The serial data communication line between SUBMASTER ( Engine
Control Room, ECR ) and SLAVE ( Engine Room 1, ER 1 ) is broken.
The 24 V DC power supply to all 4 telegraph stations is still present.
After setting to work of the system, all telegraph stations are indicating a fault as follows :
MASTER Station ( Bridge ) and SUBMASTER ( ECR ) :
- The LED "FAULT" shows pulsating light

- The LED "ER 1" and "ER 2" showing pulsating light
- The relay "FAULT" is deactivated ( indicating abnormal condition )
© MTU - 11.2004 - E531931/01E

SLAVE Station ( ER 1 ) :

- The LED "ER 1" shows pulsating light
- The relay "FAULT" is deactivated
SLAVE Station ( ER 2 ) :

- The LED "ER 2" shows pulsating light
The pulsating station LED indications are indicating the telegraph stations, to which the
MASTER can not establish a data communication.
i
Note - Telegraph stations without connection to the MASTER station present missing
data communication by pulsating LED indication of their own station selection
push-button.
Acknowledgement of fault message :
The fault can only be acknowledged at the MASTER station by pressing the concerning station
selection push-buttons ( example : "ER 1" and "ER 2" ). Each other telegraph station may
acknowledge the internal alarm buzzer by pressing the station selection push-button with pulsat-
ing LED indication.
The fault at telegraph stations remaining within the data communication ( Example : "Bridge"
and "ECR" ) is now switched to "SILENT ALARM" condition, which means, that the LED
"FAULT" is turned to steady light, the internal buzzer is deactivated, but the relay "FAULT"
remains deactivated (abnormal condition).
i
Note - Due to this possible telegraph operation of the remaining stations under
"SILENT ALARM" condition, the relay „FAULT” should not be connected to
e.g. sounders, hooters or flash lights!
It is therefore recommended to monitor the relay „FAULT” by the engine alarm and
monitoring system.
The system is now back to normal operation, but only with the remaining telegraph stations. The
relay "ALARM" will be operated and internal buzzer is activated again because of order of rate
of speed "STAND BY".
At MASTER station, the system configuration ( Example : "Bridge" - "ECR" ) can now be selec-
ted, but selections for telegraph stations with missing data communication are ignored.
These disconnected stations ( Example : "ER 1" and "ER 2" ) may only acknowledge the
internal buzzer by pressing the station selection push-button for their own telegraph station
( indicated by pulsating light ), but not acknowledge the fault ( the relay "FAULT" remains
deactivated at these stations ).
Special case : The MASTER station can not establish any data communication to
further telegraph stations.
In this case, the fault can not be acknowledged, the "SILENT ALARM" condition can not be ob-
tained. The system must be switched off and after a short while on again at MASTER station to
carry out a system cold-start.
E531931/01E - 11.2004 - © MTU

If the fault has been cleared, the "SILENT ALARM" condition is automatically switched off and
the system is working in normal operation. If the fault remains, all alarms and indications will
occur again as described above.
- Fault at operation of system with station selection push-buttons
The telegraph system will react as already described above for fault at setting to work.
After fault acknowledgement, the remaining telegraph stations will be set into the same condi-
tion which was present before the failure has occured. The selected rate of speed and the sys-
tem configuration are indicated again.
- Failure of telegraph station selected at system configuration
If a telegraph station fails which was selected by station selection push-button ( transmitter, re-
ceiver ), the selected configuration is deleted, that means, the concerning LED´s for the station
selection turn dark. The selected rate of speed is not effected. At MASTER station, a new selec-
tion of system configuration must be carried out, which is only possible for telegraph stations
which are working normal without faults.
If the MASTER station itself fails, a further operation of the system is not possible and the fault
has to be cleared in order to obtain normal operation again.
- Fault at setting to work and operation of system without station

selection push-buttons
Because of missing station selection push-buttons in the system, the fault can not be acknowl-
edged. If the fault occurs at setting to work or within operation of the system, always the follow-
ing condition will be presented on all telegraph stations :

The fault can only be cleared by reestablishment of data communication within the system.
Possible fault reasons Remedies
- Wire breakage in connection line Check of cabling and connection

terminals of 485A, 485B, 485A´, 485B´
and power supply 24 V DC
- EMC troubles ( fault may occur Check of cabling and connection

sporadically ) terminals, specially screening of cables
- Concerning telegraph station is defective Check of complete system required
- Wrong programming of quantity Correct adjustment according to proce-

of telegraph stations within the system dure described in chapter 3.2.3.
After clearance of the fault, the system turns back to operating condition before occurrence of
the fault.
© MTU - 11.2004 - E531931/01E

• Internal fault
If an internal fault is detected, the LED "FAULT" is activated with steady light indication.
Possible fault reasons Remedies
- Internal fault on RAM or ROM Telegraph station is defective and must

be returned to manufacturer for repair
- Fault while writing data on internal Telegraph station is defective and must
EEPROM be returned to manufacturer for repair
- DIP-switch adjustment not correct Check of DIP-switch setting
If a fault has occurred, all telegraph stations will turn to following operating condition :

- The LED "FAULT" is blinking or showing steady light
- The relay "FAULT" is not operated
- All LED´s "Rate of Speed" are turned off.
In this stage, it is not possible to order any rate of speed or to acknowledge an order of rate of
speed. On systems with station selection push-buttons, it is not possible to carry out a configu-
ration selection.
Further possible faults :
• A further fault is indicated by cyclic switching on and off of the system with a period of
appr. 1.6 seconds. The operating condition of the telegraph stations ( Relays, LED´s ) is
undefined in this case.
Each telegraph station is monitored internally by a watch-dog function. This watch-dog

has to be served each 1.6 seconds by the program. If this does not happen, the
watch-dog automatically releases a system reset at the station.
Following reasons may release a watch-dog reset :
- Internal defect of a station

- External interferences are causing a program trouble
• The MASTER station detects a fault condition, if it can not detect at least two
telegraph stations in the system during setting to work procedure.
This fault is indicated by a blinking "FAULT"-LED.
If a fault in the system is not cleared automatically within 10 seconds, the system should be
switched off and on again after a short moment.
The system is then operating without the defective telegraph station. This operating condition is
only possible, if the defective station is not the MASTER.

• Power supply 24 V DC
The external power supply source 24 V DC has always to be connected to the MASTER station
of the system ( terminal 24 V (in) and GND ). The MASTER is the only station, which is enabled
to switch on and off the system and before setting the whole system to work, the MASTER is
checking the correct condition of the 24 V DC power supply.
All other telegraph stations are connected to 24 V DC output terminals ( 24 V and GND )
in series with the MASTER.

5. Illustrated Part Catalog
5.1 Introduction
The illustrated parts catalogue provides the user with a basis for ordering spare parts.
When ordering spare parts the catalog script Nr. (e.g. E531931/01E) with FIG. identification
number and ITEM number besides TYPE and DESIGNATION, as well as the PART NUMBER
form the rear side of device, must be specified.
Parts listed without these identification numbers cannot be delivered.
The drawings may also be used as a guidance at service and repair works as they show the in-
dividual assembly of concerning parts. For this reason, the drawings include also single parts for
which no spare parts provision has been made.
Each illustration shown in this catalog is accompanied by a descriptive section with the same
figure number. The item numbers in the figures permit a unique identification of all parts.
In some cases, a component item number comprises several part items, where the component
is not shown in the figure as a complete build group. Then the figure is presenting a list of item
numbers, which belong to the item number of the build group.
Illustration and table :
FIG. Identification number of the illustration shown in the parts catalog with refe-
rence to the descriptive section, which follows the illustration.
ITEM : The item numbers in the figures provide a link between the parts shown in
the illustrations and the descriptive sections with the same figure number,
where the parts are described with all required details for ordering.
DESIGNATION : This is the exact description, which must be specified when ordering parts.
TYPE : This is the exact type designation, which must be specified when ordering
parts.
PART NUMBER : This is the part identification number form the rear side of the unit, which
must be specified when ordering parts.
Q/U : Quantity incorporated in unit. The specified quantities refer to the amount of
installed assemblies.
M: Maintenance level.
Category to be referred to by the personnel, who must carry out the mainte-
nance activity, based on the following criteria :
- Degree of difficulty of the work
- Qualification of the repair personnel
R: Repairable on site
Work performed by the trained operating or specialist personnel
either by onboard or depot repair.
N: Not repairable
Part is not repairable either from customer personnel or factory.
Replacement required.
F: Factory return
Part has to be replaced by trained personnel from stock and
sent to manufacturer for repair.
REMARK : Important notes relating to a particular item.

Part 5
Modification service :
Adaption and modification of part numbers will not be recorded after final production of the illu-
strated parts catalog. We therefore recommend that changes in part numbers should be noted
down in the parts catalog. This information is included in the order confirmation and on labels at-
tached to the spare parts.
Ordering of spare parts :
The following particulars are required for the processing of spare part orders :
• Customer Order number
• Script number of the spare part catalog ( e.g. E531931/01E )
• FIGURE number from the spare part catalog
• ITEM number from the spare part catalog
• TYPE number of the spare part
• DESIGNATION of the spare part
• Part number from rear side of device
• Quantity of parts and unit of measure
• Length of cables, if not specified with designation of component

( In this cases, the type designation is presented like XGE-1/10-x ( or "-xx" or "-xxx"),
where "x" indicates the undefined cable length in decimetre.
• Version- and revision number with spare part order for Eproms.
( In the spare part catalog, the revision number is marked with "yy" )
Adjustable spare parts are delivered unadjusted from the manufacturer. An exchange of defecti-
ve parts requires the regard of adjustment instructions for the concerning parts, respectively the
adjustments have to be taken from the defective unit.
Sending parts to MTU for repair :
Parts which are sent to MTU Friedrichshafen for repair must be clearly identified with the
order number, FIGURE, ITEM, part number and serial number of device if applied.
The label with imprinted serial No. is to find on the rear side of device lateral at the „CPU”
marked socket for the cable connection plug.
