and requires no adjustment -
anti-condensation stand-still
heating is standard.
Control of the capstans can be
through a number of methods. The most
common being a plug-in wanderlead
controller or a pedestal controller.
The plug-in wanderlead gives the
advantage that the controller is
not left out on the deck to sustain
continuous weathering when the
capstan is not in use. Additionally
the operator may stand in different
positions to allow for safe operation
of the capstan.
The alternative pedestal controller
is a simple to operate, single
lever unit which provides speed and
direction control for heave and veer.
It is equipped with an integral anti-
condensation stand-still heater and
an emergency stop button.
Starter Panel
Installation and interface with
the ship’s systems is via a totally
enclosed, bulkhead mounted starter
panel.
The panel houses direct on line
contactors, relays and protection
fuses for the unit. The panel door
incorporates an interlocked and
lockable safety supply isolator.
