Safety-related precautions, etc., described in this manual are summarized as follows (related page to each item is in parentheses). (1)__Warnings regarding general cautions for use of this system (See page 1-1.) ZA WARNING @improper operations caused by failure of this system or malfunctions caused by operator's misunderstanding may cause distress such as collision and grounding, and may result in property damages and environmental pollutions. Further, death ot serious injury may happen. @Full attention should be paid on use of this system by understanding limitations in performance or characteristics of this system and by familiarizing with operating methods. (2) Warnings regarding operating method (See page 3-1.) Z\ WARNING ‘@There are matters to be attended in starting of this system and operations during running. These matters are described in each related item in this chapter with CAUTION or WARNING, etc., which should always be observed. @Read the operator's manual of the automatic steering system carefully preparing for occurrence of trouble or alarm in this system, and the emergency steering method should be well understood to treat such matters smoothly. (3) Warning regarding maintenance + check (See page 5-1.) ZAWARNING ‘@When carrying out maintenance and check, even if the main POWER switch of this system is tured OFF, the ship's power is supplied to the system distribution board, and touching internal parts may cause electric shock. Do not touch internal parts such as internal terminal boards and the power supply unit, etc. Disconnect power supply to this system from the distribution board if necessary. The following warning label is attached to the dangerous position of this system. ZAWARNING Main power can cause electric| |. shock. Do not touch terminal boards, etc., even if unit power OFF. @(4) _Waming regarding use of this system (See page 1-1.) ZA CAUTION ‘@This system displays gyro-compass bearing and outputs the bearing information fo the outside. Although the safety design such as the alarm function against failure, etc., are provided, there is no complete safety design at the present time. In addition, as this system has many important functions, it is hard to say that anyone can use this system without failure, Failures or malfunctions of this system may cause distress, and full attention should be paid on use of this system. The user's responsibility and obligation in insuring safe navigation and the proper exercise of navigational techniques is in no way reduced by the use of this equipment. The following cautions should be observed. 1. Always perform daily check to maintain normal system condition. 2. When anomalies are detected in the result of daily check, investigate and repair at ‘once to recover to normal conditions and request advice of TOKYOKEIKI service engineer. 3. When the alarm system operates during use, always check to confirm the cause and recover the troubled point. (5) __Waming regarding bearing signal output function (See page 1-2, 3-14.) ZA CAUTION ‘@When alarms related to GPS (error code E-c or E-d) generates and the tue bearing is: not determined the bearing signal having error may be output to the outside (repeater signal and serial signal). Turn the automatic steering system steering mode to [MANUAL] or [ Non Follow Up] and determine the true bearing. (6) _ Warning regarding repeater signal output function (See page 1-2, 4-7.) Z\ CAUTION ‘@in this system, repeaters cannot be operated with the emergency ship's supply. Provided that the equipment having the repeater back up function by special specification can operate up to three repeater circuits even in running with the emergency power supply. (7)__Waming regarding package of components and delivery (See page 2-1.) A\CAUTION ‘@When this system is assembled in the automatic steering sysiem stand (autopilot built- in), the master compass and each unit of the control box are assembled in the steering stand and the sensitive element only is separately packaged. @(8) _Waming regarding operating method (See page 3-1.) Z\ CAUTION (@The operating method and alarms shown in this chapier are described when this sysiem is combined with TOKYOKEIKI PR-6000 autopilot and TOKYOKEIKI TCA/TMC6 magnetic compass system. (9) _ Warning regarding starting (See page 3-5.) Z\CAUTION @Start this system in other modes than [AUTO] of the automatic steering system. (10) Waring regarding latitude input « change (See page 3-6, 3-11.) Z\CAUTION ‘@Change of the latitude input system or a large change of latitude may cause a large change of the true bearing. In automatic steering, to prevent a large course changing, the steering mode should be changed to [MANUAL] or [NON-FOLLOW UP] steering mode once. After confirming safety of surrounding of own ship turn [AUTO] steering ON again. (11)_Waming regarding latitude setting (See page 3-6.) Z\CAUTION @In automatic steering, beware that a large latitude change may cause a large change oF true course, (12) Waming regarding bearing signal output function (See page 3-6, 3-7.) A\ CAUTION ‘@When alarms related to GPS generate (error code E-c or E-d is displayed) the tue bearing should be defined as follows. Change the speed / latitude input system setting and match the display item LED ( with the true bearing with the display switch (2) and press the input switch @ to fix the flashing bearing. ‘The bearing having error is output until the input switch @) is pressed. (13) Warning regarding automatic update of latitude (See page 3-7.) Z\CAUTION ‘@When the latitude input system is in [GYRO], the latitude is automatically updated with the ship's speed and true bearing. (Except when the speed input system is in [MANUAL}.) Confirm that the own ship actual latitude coincides with the displayed latitude during operation, ©(14) Waming regarding completeness of setting (See page 3-7, 3-8, 3-9.) Z\CAUTION @Always press the input switch © after completeness of setting. If the input switch @ is not pressed after completeness of setting, the changed setting cannot be received. (15)_Waing regarding ship's speed input change (See page 3-7, 3-12.) ZA CAUTION ‘@Change of the ship's speed input system or a large change of ship's speed may cause a large change of true bearing. In automatic steering, to prevent a large angle course change the steering mode should be changed to [MANUAL] or [NON-FOLLOW UP] steering mode once. After confirming safety of surrounding of own ship, turn [AUTO] steering ON again. (16) Warning regarding restarting (See page 3-7.) ZA CAUTION @The speed input system is stored (when [MANUAL] the setting value, 100), and the speed system starts with the previously setting value when restarting. When the ship's power is cut after stopping the ship, set the speed value at 0 knot before cutting the power. When the ship stops in [GPS] mode, restart the system after confirming that GPS is normally operating. (17)_Warning regarding resetting master bearing (See page 3-9.) Z\ CAUTION ‘@When the master bearing is reset, the repeater display value and the tue bearing oF serial signal change by the change angle of the master bearing. In automatic steering, to prevent a large angle course change, the steering mode should be changed to [MANUAL] once, After confirming safety of surrounding of own ship, tum [AUTO] steering ON again. (18)_Waming regarding setting GPS signal format (See page 3-9.) ZA CAUTION ‘@The format for receiving GPS signal should be changed only when itis instructed by the TOKIMEC service engineer and according to the means instructed. (19)_Waming regarding change of speed and latitude input (See page 3-11.) ZA CAUTION ‘@Change of speed, latitude input systems and a large change of speed and latitude may cause a large change of true bearing. In automatic steering, to prevent a large angle course change, the steering mode should be changed to [MANUAL] steering mode once. After confirming safety of surrounding of own ship, turn [AUTO] steering ON again. ©
