Introduction
The Alphatronic 2000 Propulsion Control
System - AT2000 PCS Is used for remote
control of the ships propulsion line, including
a diesel engine connected to a controllable
pitch propeller (CPP) through an optional reduction gearbox, with optional clutch control
for the main engine clutch. The system may
also be interfaced to a shaft generator.
The AT2000 PCS is operated by means of

setpoint handles and standard AT2000 PCS
panels with build in four lines display.
The overall structure of the system can be
seen on fig 1.

The AT2000 PCS may be serially connected
to the engine mounted system called Alphatronic 2000 LMCS (Local Monitoring, Control and Safety system). This system is
transferring information about shut down
conditions to the PCS. Values from sensors
for load reduction are also transferred via
the serial connection.
Main engine load reduction

Combinator control from a single
handle in the ECR and on the bridge
Controllable pitch propeller (CPP) setpoint (combinator curves)
Control transfer between the bridge
and the ECR
Alternative hard-wired or serial connection

to the engines safety system may apply.
Propulsion mode selection (combinator, constant rpm and separate mode)
The AT2000 PCS will take care of the following functions:
Clutch engage and disengage (if a

clutch is fitted)
Main engine start and stop
Main engine setpoint (combinator,

constant rpm and separate mode)
Main engine load control (load control

limitations)
Interface to PTO connected shaft generator

Manoeuvring panels for remote control of engine

and propeller
For operation of the ships propulsion line,
the PCS is connected to PCS operator panels on the bridge and in the engine control
room (ECR). The manoeuvring panels include a handle for thrust commands, the
propulsion control panel (PCP), instruments
for propeller rpm and pitch indication and in
addition an emergency stop push button.

The instruments showing propeller rpm and
pitch are independent of the remote control
system.
A light dimmer is fitted in the instrument unit.
This will control the intensity of the illumination inside the manoeuvring handle, the instruments and the push buttons below the
manoeuvring handle.
The emergency stop push button will immediately stop the main engine. This way of

Manoeuvring handle panel operations
General operation at the propulsion control panels
Once the engine is running and clutched in,

a movement of the manoeuvring handle will
result in a corresponding thrust on the ship.
The propulsion control panel (PCP) is the

operator's interface when interacting with
the engine, the clutch and the propeller.
Normally, the propeller pitch is controlled via

the remote control system (Alphatronic
2000 PCS), and thereby offering an optimized propulsion using different combinator
curves and limitation functions.
A normal sequence before sailing, would be

that the engine staff will prepare the engine
for operation, start the engine and then
transfer the responsibility to the operator on
the bridge. The operator on the bridge will
then clutch-in the propeller and move the
manoeuvring handle in orderte start moving
the ship.
However, should the remote control system

be out of order, it will still be possible for the
operator on the bridge to control the propeller thrust by pushing the push button
"BACK-UP CONTROL ON/OFF". This will
immediately by-pass the remote control
system, without a significant change in the
propeller thrust. The control can be given
back to the remote control system by pushing the same push button again.
Starting of the engine can be done by two

keystrokes. First activate "MACHINERY
CONTROL" and then the soft-key "START
ENGINE". If the engine does not start, this
may be caused by a start blocking, preventing the engine from starting if not all condition are fulfilled to start. The engineer will
then investigate the problem, using the display and the keys of the PCP. For operations
possible at the PCP, please refer to the following chapter.

AT2000 PCS operator panel

The PCS operation from ECR and bridge
panels is similar, and made by means of
softkeys, where the function is displayed on
the 4-line display, and operated by means
of four keys [ S1 ] - [ S2 ] - [ S3 ] - [ S4 ].
Control right for PCS control functions
It is always possible to view the information
on the display, independent of the present
control location.
The softkeys on the different PCS control
functions are only working on the PCS panels, which are in control. Activation of the
softkeys, for a PCS control function on a
panel, which is not in control, will activate the
buzzer for a short time, to tell the operator
that the operation, which he is trying to execute, is not allowed at the moment.
Basic mode overview display on PCS
panel
The basic mode overview display shows the
status for the available, requested and
actual power, for the propulsion system.
Basic mode is the display selected, when
the [ESC] key is pressed one or more times
from another display, until the outermost
level is reached.
Line 3:
Indicating actual power output to the propeller. Bargraph and digital value.
Line 4:
Showing the oldest unacknowledged alarm,
or the number of alarms when all are acknowledged. In addition showing if any
alarm channels are suppressed.
Setpoint system alignment
When the operators are changing the control position between ECR and bridge, this
bargraph display for aligning the setpoint
levers is automatically displayed.

Service intervals
Inspection of shaft seal
The intervals for inspection and replacement of wear

parts vary greatiy with the properties of the pumped
Uqiiid and can only be determined by experience.
Pumping liquid which contairis abrasive materials,
or liquid that is corrosive, wiU significantly reduce
service life and call for shorter service intervals.
Wear will normally show as unnormal:
Vibration
Noise
Loss of capacity
Reduction in flow/pressure
Leakage
Excessively leaking shaft seals (more than 10 drops

per hour) should be changed without delay, as the
leakage normally wiU grow worse and cause additional damage.
In installations where unplanned shut downs must
be avoided, it is advisable to dismantle the ptunp for
a thorough inspection and thereby change out shaft
seal and ball bearing, every three years as a max
period.
It is recommended always to have the spares included in minor spare part kit available.
If the pumps operating temperature exceeds
let the pimip cool off before any service,

A 60C
maintenance or dismantling work is commenced to avoid bum injury.
Inspection of rotors
A quick inspection of the idler rotors can be made
simply by removing the rear cover. Note that the
driver must be deenergized and the pump hydraulically isolated before the rear cover is removed.
If a more thorough investigation is needed, proceed
as under "Dismantling/Reassembly".

SHAFT EARTHING DEVICE

Without Amplifier
This system is a precautionary measure installed in
order to reduce the electrical potential between the
propeller shaft and hull to below 80 mV, and thus
prevent spark erosion damage to the main bearings
and journals of the main engine. (A reading
between 5 and 50 mV is considered as normal).
1. The system consists of the following main
components:
On haft noK, vlu*i

sanV
On haft nensat Tvla. a-8.V
,>>*-'-K<;^
A. A silver alloy slip ring is mounted on the

intermediate shaft.
B. Brush holders with silver/graphite brushes.

C. Grounding wire and grounding plate.
D. Monitoring box with mV-meter and alarm
output (optional).
The silver/graphite brushes are running on the slip
ring. The two earthing brushes are connected to the
hull through the grounding wire and the grounding
plate welded to the hull. The monitoring brush is
connected to the monitoring box.
2. Functioning and checking of the
earthing/measuring device.
The meter normally reads 150 mV atfixllscale. If
readings are above 150 mV, push the bottom on
the front of the meter. The meter will now read
1500mV atfiillscale.
The meter is at rest. When the shaft is turning at
sea, a readings of between 5 and 80 mV indicates
proper grounding, although readings below 50
mV should be obtained with clean and properly
contoured brushes.

SHAFT EARTHING DEVICE

Readings of "0" when the shaft is turning at sea,
indicates a defective millivoltmeter or loose or broken
cable connections.
Checking the earthing device must be done when the
shaft is rotating at sea and should be carried out once a
month.
Release the earthing brushes from their contact with
the slip ring, this should give high pulsating voltages
of 100-400 mV reading on the meter. This indicates
that the measuring circuit is in order. When the
brushes are brought back to contact with the slip ring,
the reading should fall below the 80 mV limit. You
can also read the result on the computer
It is impotant that the silver/graphite brushes are
moving correctly in the brush holders with a spring
load of 500-600 gr.
In some cases the copper lead on the brush will
corrode, so it is recommendable to coat this lead with
grease.
It is recommended that the readings of the
millivoltmeter be recorded once a day in the engine
logbook.

SLIP RING SYSTEM

General Data:
Detailed description:
A. Slip ring.
Silver alloy band, 63,5 mm wide and approx. 100 mm longer that the circumference of the shaft.
B. Holding straps.
The permanent holding straps are made of Stainless Steel.
C. Brush holder.
The cast bronze brush holder is designed to support the brushes at the right angle to the shaft.
D. Brush.
The brushes are made of Silver/Graphite.
Installation instructions.
A. The slip ring usually located about 450 mm in front of the shaft coupling.
B. Draw a line around the periphery of the shaft.
Install the two holding straps. Strap "A" next to and parallel to the scribe line and strap "B" 125
mm away and parallel to the first.
C. Sand the area on the shaft between the two straps, until a bright steel surface appears.
D. Starting with the 45 end, wrap the silver band around the shaft so that the excess overlaps the 45"
angle. Mark the edges, scribe a line between them and cut.
E. Secure the silver band loosely on the shaft, utilizing strap "C" in the center on the band. Before
tightening the clamp, put a small piece of vinyl tape under the screw clamp for protection of the
surface. Place the vinyl tape on both edges of the silver band, using the outside edge as guide.
F. Install strap "A" and "B" on the vinyl tape and tighten with a screwdriver. Remove strap "C" and
the vinyl tape from the center of the band. Apply two layers pressure sensitivity tape on each strap,
leaving an 2 'A cm wide uncovered area of silver band.
G. Construct a rigid foundation to support the brush holder shaft.
H. Assemble the brush holders and connect the wires.
I. The total resistance of the cable from the brush holder to the hull must not exceed 0,005 ohm.
MAINTENANCE OF SHAFT-GROUNDING SYSTEMS
1. Always keep the system clear of dust, grease and water.

2. When cleaning the silver bands of grease and dust, an Electrocleaner should be used.
3. When polishing the silver bands, use the glass brush, which is delivered with the system.
Never use abrasive cloth, file or other abrasives.
4. Once a month (or when needed) clean the brushes and brush boxes of dust, because the
dust can cause the brushes to stick in the brush box and thereby cause a bad connection
between the silver band and the brush.
5. The spring pressure of the brushes should be 500-600 gr.
6. Make sure that there is always a good electrical contact at all screw- and boltconnections.
7. Make sure that the earthing plate is in welded connection with the hull all the times.

INSTAUATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Silver alloy band to be mounted, away from bearings, and not
exposed to water, and where it is easy to service.
3. The shaft is grinded to a clean surface, and degreased, so that the
electrical resistance is minimized as much as possible.
3. The silver alloy band is degreased on the rear aide and laid on.
4. The grounding plate is welded on the hull as close to the
brush holders as possible.
5. The shaft for brush holders is welded on, in such a way, that
the least vibrations possible will occur, and so that it is
arranged In parallel with the propeller shaft.
6. The distance between the brush holders and the silver band
alloy should be 2 - 3 mm.
7. The spring pressure on the brushes is 500-600 g.
8. The projecting ends of the shaft can be cut of.

STANDARD SHAFT GROUNDING ASSEMBLY
This system forms connection between shaft and hull without any kind of monitoring, which
means that there is no possibility of knowing if the connection and safety of the system is
functioning correctly.
BAC NO: 539550

SHAFT GROUNDING ASSEMBLY FOR COMPUTER CONTROL
This system is identically with BAC Standard Shaft Grounding assembly, though this system
has a silver brush, which can be used for connection to an alarm computer or a measuring
instrument.
BAC NO: 539500
SHAFT GROUNDING ASSEMBLY WITH mV- METER FOR MONITORING
This system is identically with BAC Shaft Grounding for computer control, though this
system consists of a steel box with instrument for monitoring.
BAC recommends you this, as it is our most sold system.
BAC NO: 539600
SHAFT GROUNDING ASSEMBLY WITH mV- METER AND AMPLIFIER
FOR ALARM OUTPUTS
This system is identically with BAC Shaft Grounding assembly with mV-meter for
monitoring, though this system is extended with an isolation amplifier. This makes it possible
to connect the system directly to the alarm computer in the ship with a signal on 4-20 mA or it
can be used with a signal on 0-20 mA.
BAC NO: 539700
SHAFT GROUNDING ASSEMBLY WITH mV- METER AND AMP.
METER MOUNTED IN A MONITORING BOX.
This system is identically with BAC Shaft Grounding assembly with mV-meter for
monitoring but it consists of a monitoring box where voltage and current can be read.
14
Please note following:

When you order a BAC Shaft Grounding system the price of the silver band is depending on
the size of the shaft, and therefore the cost of the silverband will be quoted separately. Please
contact BAC, we can help you with commercial terms and calculations.
It is very important that the Shaft Grounding system is equipped with a kind of measuring
instrument, which can show the fimction of the system.
BAC is able to update the different BAC Shaft Grounding systems. For instance with a mVmeter for monitoring or amplifier for alarm output giving you a better and precisely measure
of the system.
BAC can further more offer you an alarm system to ensure that the connection between the
shaft and hull is according to BAC standard specifications.
