Immediate Precautions when entering the Liferaft

Cut the painter, using the knife placed on the upper tube. Use the paddles to get away from
ship.
Look out for and pick up other survivors using the rescue line and quoit.
Throw out the drogue. If not streamed automatically.
Safety valve whistling
Close the safety valve with the rubber plug, as soon as the overpressure has declined. For
the position of the safety valve.
Further Instructions
Emergency Pack and First Aid Equipment
The emergency pack is attached to buoyancy tubes and the floor of one side of the raft. The
emergency pack contains, among other things, first aid kit with instructions for use.
Paddles have been attached to the top of the emergency pack, and at the sides there are
bags with bellows and repair kit.
Assembly of survival craft
During rescues involving several rafts, these shall be interconnected when possible. The
distance between rafts should be at least 12 m.
Dry The Life Raft
(Inflate Bottom and Canopy)
Bale out alt bottom water as fast as possible. Use the bailer to bale out as much as possible.
After this, use the sponge (in the emergency pack) to dry up the remaining water.
It is important to inflate both the bottom and the canopy since this provides proper insulation
against the cold. The double bottom and canopy of the raft are inflated manually with the
bellows lying in a bag by the emergency pack. Inflation valves mounted at the bottom and at
the canopy of the raft are connected to the filling hose of the bellows. After inflation -which
should not be excessive - the caps (covers) are screwed on. If the survivors have become
wet, their clothes should be taken off at once, first down to the waist. Wring it thoroughly - wet
clothes are better than none at all.
Drogue and line
The drogue and line, which is secured to the lower buoyancy tube should be set immediately
(the release cord/ painter being cut first). The drogue stabilizes the raft, thus reducing the risk
of capsizing. It a/so reduces drifting from the position which may have been stated over the
radio. The emergency pack contains a spare drogue and line.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

Closing Entrances and Checking Top Lights

Close the entrances (see instructions mounted to the canopy at the entrances inside the raft).
A light (top light) has been mounted outside at the top of the life raft, another has been placed
inside the raft. Both lights switch on automatically when the raft is inflated and comes into
contact with water. If one or both lights are out of operation, try to locate the fault if possible.
Inside the raft, close by the light, there is an on/off switch so you may put out the light and
save power by daylight.
Re-filling
After a longer stay in the raft, you may have to fill up the two buoyancy tubes and the arch
tubes since they may get soft.
The inflation valves are inside the raft, one at each buoyancy tube and one at the arch tubes.
Connect the bellows hose to the valves and inflate so much that you can feel that the inflation
and the arch tubes have become hard. After completing the filling, the caps (covers) are put
on.

If you observe a man overboard - shout as loud as
possible Man over board!!! Starboard/Port side!
Throw out a lifebuoy at once and give the alarm to the
bridge. There is hope that the man overboard will get hold
of the lifebuoy and at the same time the man
overboard-place has been marked and this facilitates the
search. Throw several lifebuoys, if necessary!

2. At quay or at anchor
A lifebuoy with a line must always be ready near the
gangway.

3. When embarking or disembarking the pilot

A lifebuoy with a line must always be ready near the
pilot's ladder.

Be always aware of the location of Lifebuoys

and the various attachments - and how they work!

SART PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Fitting of a SART enables a survival craft to show up on a search vessel's radar display as an
easily recognized series of dots.
RADAR (radio detection and ranging) is a device carried by most ships which is used to
determine the presence and location of an object by measuring the time for the echo of a
radio wave to return from it, and the direction from which it returns.
A typical ship's radar will transmit a stream of high power pulses on a fixed frequency
anywhere between 9.2GHz and 9.5GHz. It will collect the echoes received on the same
frequency using a display known as a Plan Position Indicator (PPI), which shows the ship
itself at the centre of the screen, with the echoes dotted around it. Echoes further from the
centre of the screen are thus further from the ship and the relative or true bearing of each
echo can be easily seen.
The SART operates by receiving a pulse from the search radar and sending back a series of
pulses in response, which the radar will then display as if they were normal echoes. The first
return pulse, if it sent back immediately, will appear in the same place on the PPI as a normal
echo would have done. Subsequent pulses, being slightly delayed, appear to the radar like
echoes from objects further away. A series of dots is therefore shown, leading away from the
position of the SART. This distinctive pattern is much easier to spot than a single echo such
as from a radar reflector. Moreover, the fact that the SART is actually a transmitter means
that the return pulses can be as strong as echoes received from much larger objects.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAILOR SART is designed for survivor location during search and rescue operations.

CARRY-OFF SART
Supplied as one integral unit. On abandoning to a survival craft the SART can be carried in
one hand and mounted through a port in the canopy using the attached telescopic mast
mount. The main external components of the SART are of high visibility orange thermoplastic,
joined by stainless steel screws and sealed against water ingress by 0-rings.
Operation is by a push button switch after a security label has been broken. A press-to-test
feature is provided to check that the unit is operational. Lithium battery is fitted with fuse
protection to prevent overload and it has a five year storage life. A latching connector is
provided to link the battery assembly to the circuit and facilitate battery replacement.
Each SAILOR SART carries a serial number on the centre label.

PURPOSE
An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is used to alert search and rescue
services in the event of an emergency. It does this by transmitting a coded message on the
406 MHz distress frequency. This message is relayed via satellite and earth station to the
nearest rescue co-ordination centre.
The Sailor EPIRB works with the Cospas-Sarsat polar orbiting satellite system which provides
true global coverage. The system has an alert delay of typically 45 minutes dependant on
when the satellites come into view on the horizon.
The satellite can determine the position of your Sailor EPIRB to within 5km (3 miles) and the
coded message identifies the exact vessel to which the Sailor EPIRB was registered. This
information allows the rescue services to eliminate false alerts and launch an appropriate
rescue.
The Sailor EPIRB also has a secondary distress transmitter. This transmits on 121.5 MHz and
is used for "homing" purposes. When the rescue services get close, this allows them to
direction find on the signal. To cater for searches at night, the Sailor EPIRB has a bright
flashing light that aids final visual location.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
The Sailor EPIRB is a powerful self-contained distress transmitter. It is powered by a light
weight Lithium battery that has a replacement interval of 5 years. An EPIRB is intended to be
a one-shot device, once activated it can operate for 48 hours. It operates best while floating in
water, but it can also be operated while onboard.
Referring to the previous figure, the key components of your Sailor EPIRB are :-

ANTENNA - This is a flexible whip. It must be near vertical when operating. If the antenna
gets bent, gently straighten it out.

STROBE LIGHT - This is the glass U-tube visible through the clear lens dome. When the
Sailor EPIRB is activated this will flash every few seconds.

RED LAMP -Visible through the clear lens dome at the rear of the Sailor EPIRB. This stays
on or flashes to show you which mode you are in.

PROGRAM POINT - A dimple in the clear dome, through which your supplier can optically
input the coded message unique to your Sailor EPIRB. You must register the coded message
with local authorities.

READY BUTTON - Press this key once to de-activate the Sailor EPIRB. Hold it down to
run the built-in self-test, which checks basic operation.

ON BUTTON - Press this key to manually activate the Sailor EPIRB. The key is protected
by a sliding door, which is fitted with a tamper seal.

SEA SWITCH - The two screw heads below the keys are sea switch contacts. Submerge
these in water to automatically activate the EPIRB.

LANYARD - Pull the lanyard spool down to free it. Use the cord to tether the EPIRB to a
survival craft. Never tie the Sailor EPIRB to your vessel.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

Automatic release sequence.

1) As the vessel sinks, the enclosure fills with water. The HRU contains a blade which is
released due to water pressure acting on a diaphragm. Before it reaches a depth of 4 meters,
the HRU will operate and cut the plastic rod, releasing the coil spring.

2} The spring pushes the Sailor EPIRB and the enclosure lid outwards. As the lid pivots
off it disengages from the screw head that helped hold it in place. The lid is weighted so it
rolls over and falls away.

3) As the Sailor EPIRB floats away from the lid, it moves out of range of the magnet. Once
away from the magnet its sea switch becomes armed.

4) The sea switch activates. The EPIRB then floats on the surface with its strobe light
flashing. After SO seconds it makes its first distress transmission.

If you need to manually activate your Sailor EPIRB, it can be freed from the enclosure simply
by pulling out the R-shaped retaining pin and removing the lid.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

CONTROLS
ON button
This is hidden behind a sliding door, which protects it from accidental activation. The sliding
door has a tamper seal to show if the EPIRB has been activated before.
The Sailor EPIRB can be manually activated by sliding the door to the left (breaking the seal)
and then momentarily pressing the ON button.
When activated the Sailor EPIRB will start to flash immediately. It will not make any distress
transmissions for the first 50 seconds. This gives you a chance to turn it off, if you activated it
accidentally. During the first 50 seconds the red lamp comes on continuously. When the red
lamp starts to flash, the 50 seconds is over and distress transmissions have started.

READY button
This button can de-activate and test the Sailor EPIRB.
Ready Pressing and releasing this button quickly will de-activate the Sailor EPIRB and
return it to its "ready" state. When the button is released the strobe and the red lamp will stop
flashing.
Self-test Pressing and holding the ready button (for about 10 seconds) will allow the built-in
self-test to run. When the button is held down the red lamp will come on for 4 seconds, then
go off. During this time both the 121.5MHz homer and the 406MHz satellite transmitter make
"safe" transmissions. If both of these test transmissions arrive at the antenna with sufficient
power then the strobe light will flash 3 times to tell you that all is well. If the strobe light does
not flash within 10 seconds then there is a fault and the ready button can be released.

It is important to realize that the only time the Sailor EPIRB is completely off is when it is fitted
In its mounting bracket. As soon as you take it out of its bracket a magnetic switch activates
and puts the Sailor EPIRB into its "ready" state. It will not drain the battery in this state, but it
will turn on automatically if the sea switch contacts are bridged by water. The sea contacts
are the two exposed screw heads beside the rear switches.
Although you can manually control the Sailor EPIRB with the READY and ON switches, the
sea switch overrides any manual settings. For the manual switches to operate properly the
EPIRB must first be dry so that the sea switch is de-activated.
To ensure the sea switch operates properly in rough seas, it has a built-in time delay. It has to
be wet for at least 2 seconds before it will activate and it has to be dry for at least 8 seconds
before it will de-activate.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

Sinking
If you have a category 1 "float-free" enclosure (see marking on enclosure label), then if your
vessel sinks, the Sailor EPIRB will automatically release itself from its enclosure before it
reaches a depth of 4 meters. The Sailor EPIRB will float to the surface and start to operate
because its sea switch is activated.
If possible, the EPIRB should be recovered and tied (using its lanyard) to one of the liferafts.
An EPIRB is meant to mark survivors, not the accident scene. For best operation leave the
Sailor EPIRB floating in the sea near the liferaft.

Abandon ship
If the vessel is sinking and there is time to fetch the EPIRB then this should always be done.
Release the Sailor EPIRB from its mounting bracket as described in section
4.3 or 4.4 and carry it to one of the liferafts. Once the liferafl is in the water, uncoil the lanyard
and tie it to the liferaft, then throw the EPIRB overboard so that it floats next to the liferaft. The
Sailor EPIRB will operate because its sea switch will activate.

Releasing Sailor EPIRB from an enclosure

If your Sailor EPIRB is fitted inside a full enclosure then follow the instructions below to
manually release it from its enclosure...
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

Manual activation
If the vessel is not sinking, but there is imminent danger, then remove the Sailor EPIRB from
its bracket and manually activate it as shown below. Note that once activated it will flash
immediately, but it will not transmit a distress call for 50 seconds. This gives you a chance to
turn it off, if you activated it in error.
Slide cover to left Breaking tamper seal
Once activated the Sailor EPIRB must have its antenna near upright and it must have a clear
view of the sky for proper operation. Lying it on its side or placing it next to a metal wall will
impair its range and may fail to alert the rescue services. Avoid handling the antenna, as this
will also impair performance.

De-activation
If the Sailor EPIRB was activated by mistake or if the emergency ends then the EPIRB can be
reset back to its "ready" state as follows...
• Remove EPIRB from any water and dry its sea switch contacts.
Wait 8 seconds for sea switch to turn off. If EPIRB is still flashing then it must have been
turned on manually...
• Slide switch cover fully to the right
• Press and release READY button
If EPIRB is still flashing then it has a fault. Refer to section 5 on "False alarms".
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

Battery condition
If your Sailor EPIRB has been activated for a cumulative period in excess of 2 hours then its
battery will need replacing. This is necessary to ensure that the next time it gets used it will
operate for the full 48 hours required by government regulations.

Re-fitting Sailor EPIRB into enclosure

• Offer Sailor EPIRB into back plate with switches facing outwards.
• Engage base of Sailor EPIRB into D shaped metal prongs.
• Antenna rests either to left or right of release pin.
• Check EPIRB is fully engaged in metal prongs and resting on foam pad.
• Refit cover by first locating release pin through hole in cover.
• Locate cover onto back plate, then snap down over locating lug.
• Refit R-clip through hole in end of release pin.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

FALSE ALARMS
False alarms are a serious problem for the rescue services. About 90% of EPIRB initiated
distress alerts turn out to be false alarms. If your EPIRB should cause a false alarm, follow
the instructions below...

De-activate the EPIRB

If the Sailor EPIRB was activated by mistake, then de-activation is simple...
• Remove the Sailor EPIRB from any water and dry its sea switch contacts.
• Wait about 8 seconds for the sea switch to de-activate.
• If the EPIRB is still flashing then it must have been turned on manually...
• Slide the switch cover fully to the right.
• Press and release the READY button.
• The Sailor EPIRB should now stop flashing.
• Refit the Sailor EPIRB into its mounting bracket (correctly).
Modern EPIRBs have sea switches and it is not uncommon for the sea switch to activate in
rough seas or heavy rain, simply because the EPIRB has been badly fitted in its mounting
bracket. The Sailor EPIRB bracket has a hidden magnet to hold the EPIRB in an off state. If
the Sailor EPIRB is wrongly fitted the magnet does not do its job and heavy seas may activate
the sea switch. The simple cure is to ensure the EPIRB is correctly fitted.

Dealing with a transmitting Sailor EPIRB

In the unlikely event that your Sailor EPIRB develops a fault and will not turn off, then prevent
its signal from reaching the satellite using one of the following methods...
• Remove the antenna. Wrap the Sailor EPIRB in metal foil and take it below decks.
• Remove the antenna and place the Sailor EPIRB in a metal container or locker.
Leave it in this condition for 3 days until its battery is dead.

General description
The VSP Amplified Batteryless Telephone System is designed for safe, loud and clear
communication and as a replacement of the traditional Sound Powered Telephones.
The traditional facilities are retained and an low power consumption amplifier with capacity or
battery ensures an excellent communication. By use of dynamic microphone- and receiver-
inserts, 4 times louder speech and listening level are obtained compared to the Sound
Powered Telephones. The VSP system is independent of the vessels power supply and fulfills
the demands for emergency communication between vital positions onboard.
The VSP system described in this manual is a system consisting of up to 20 main stations
with selector switches for selective calling between all connected stations.
The VSP system can also be connected to a 24V DC power supply and work as a
Common Battery Telephone System.

Keys
1 Selection Keys and LEDs
10 selection keys with corresponding LEDs are provided, depending on the individual paging
station model. The selection keys are used to pre-select areas or groups for the reproduction
of messages, gong or alarm signals, vocal messages, or to assign programs (first press ON,
subsequent press OFF). The LEDs indicate the momentary selection status (also refer to the
paragraph "indications"). It is lso possible to assign special functions or no function at all (no
function assigned) to the selection keys. Assigning functions is performed during the
configuration procedure via PC.
2 ALL-key and LED
The All-key allows the selection of all programmed areas at once for the transmission of
messages, gong or alarm signals, vocal messages, or to assign programs. One time pressing
selects all areas; the corresponding LEDs and the ALL-LED are lit. Subsequent pressing
cancels the selection.
3 CLEAR-key
This key has different functions, depending on the operation or mode, e. g. canceling the call-
pattern or canceling a program assignment. Which function is carried out at times is explained
in detail in the paragraph OPERATION.
4 CHIME-key (ESC) and LED
Pressing this key starts a gong signal which is being transmitted into the pre-selected areas
or groups. The CHIME-LED is lit or blinks during the transmission of a gong signal. What kind
of gong signal is being transmitted is defined during the configuration procedure. Pressing the
STOP-key cancels the reproduction of the gong signal.
5 TEXT-key (v) and LED
Pressing the TEXT-key starts a prerecorded message (optional voice reproduction) which is
transmitted into the pre-selected areas or groups. The TEXT-LED is lit or blinks during the
transmission of a prerecorded message. The desired text message is selected during the
configuration procedure. Pressing the STOP-key cancels the reproduction of a text massage.
6 TALK-key and BUSY-LED
The STORE-key activates a message for pre-selected areas or groups. While a message is
being transmitted, the BUSY-LED is lit. The TALK-key has to be pressed until the end of a
message. The BUSY-LED blinks when one or several areas are busy or when an event with
higher priority setting interrupts the outgoing message (see paragraph indications). In the
latter it is necessary to repeat the message.
7 ON-key (<) and LED
This key turns the system's power on or off. Turning the power on can take several seconds.
The ON-LED blinks while the system boots. The ON-LED lights steadily when the system is
operational. To prevent inadvertent erroneous operation, it is necessary to press the key for at
least 1 second when turning the power off. It is also possible to 'block' the operation of the
ON-key during the configuration procedure.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________
8 STOP-key (L)
Pressing the STOP-key cancels an outgoing alarm signal or text message. An alarm signal
can also be terminated by subsequently pressing the ALARM-key. Only events that were
triggered from a specific paging station can be stopped from the exact terminal with the
exception of the directing station. This terminal allows canceling all signals.
9 PROGRAM-key (>) and LED
Pressing the PROGRAM-key selects the program assign mode. The selection keys are used
in this mode to assign a program (background music) to the desired areas or groups. The
PROGRAM-LED is lit while you are in the program assign mode. In this case the selection-
LEDs signal in what areas / groups the program is being transmitted. Keeping this key
pressed and simultaneously pressing the STOP-key selects the setup-mode and the
PROGRAM-LED starts blinking.
10 ALARM-key and Indicator
Pressing the ALARM-key starts an alarm signal that is transmitted into all areas. The alarm
indicator lights when the alarm is being launched. Pressing the STOP-key or subsequently
pressing the ALARM-key terminates the alarm signal. What kind of alarm signal is being
transmitted is pre-defined during the configuration procedure of the PROMATRIX system.
11 Optional Key-slots
These slots allow the retrofitting of an additional covered key and a key-locked switch. The
front panel is already prepared for the installation of two 18 mm pushbuttons / switches. You
only have to cut suitable holes into the front panel foil. Internal fittings and cables are also
already prepared. The newly installed switches' functions are assigned during the
configuration procedure via PC; e. g.: second alarm-pushbutton for transmitting an alarm
signal into specific areas (selective alarm), or assigning the system ON / OFF
function to the key-locked switch..
12 Microphone
After pressing the TALK-button and after the BUSY-LED lights, it is possible to make
announcements in pre-selected areas or groups via the integrated gooseneck microphone.
The optimum distance from the microphone is approximately 20 to 35 cm. The microphone
pre-amplifier embodies a limiter to control signal peaks and protect the system against
overdrive. A second microphone with TALK-button can be connected to the extension socket
(EXT). Assigning the function (area, group) of the external microphone is performed during
the configuration via PC.
13 Display
The LCD display with 2 lines and 16 characters, each shows, depending on the actual
operational status of the system, information on time, operation mode, user notes, setting up,
fault messages incl. precise device / module specification, etc.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________

OPERATION
Selective Call
The user can launch calls or announcements into freely selectable areas or groups.
Pressing a single or several selection keys defines the areas or groups a call is launched into.
The individual corresponding LEDs will light. By pressing the key of an already pre-selected
line once again deactivates that line again and the corresponding LED goes out.
After you have made your selection, the call is ignited by pressing the TALK-button. Prior to
that you can check via the BUSY-LED whether all lines and the paging station input are
actually free. If single lines or the terminal input are busy with lower priority transmissions, the
BUSY-LED will blink slowly. Whilst an announcement is possible, it will interrupt the other
transmitted event. If single lines or the terminal input are busy with higher priority signals, the
BUSY-LED will vastly blink and the calling attempt is being ignored (also refer to the
description of indications). The BUSY-LED lights during an announcement. The TALK-button
has to be pressed during the whole message. Until the user makes any changes, the defined
selection stays memorized even after releasing the TALK-button. Pressing the CANCEL-key
deselects the entire selection.
Additionally and in case of a pre-gong signal has previously been programmed, the GONG-
LED will light during the transmission of the pre-gong signal.
Collective Call
The announcement is launched into all areas of the entire installation.
The procedure is similar to making a selective call. First, all areas of the installation are
selected by pressing the ALL-key. Pressing the TALK-button activates the collective call.
During the outgoing call all area and/or group LEDs as well as the ALL-LED will light (also
refer to the paragraph "indications"). The TALK-button has to be pressed down until the end
of the announcement. BUSY-LED indication and the pre-gong signal are equivalent to the
selective call.
Direct Call
Principally it is possible to assign a direct call to any selection key (area key, group key, ALL-
key) via PC configuration.
This allows making an announcement directly by pressing the desired selection key – without
the need of pressing the TALK-key. For direct calls the BUSY-LED also signals the status of
correspondent areas (free, busy with lower priority signal, busy with higher priority signal; see
"indications"). When shipped, there is no factory pre-set direct call programmed.
Gong Signal. A gong signal can be transmitted into any selectable area or group of the entire
installation.
First, the desired areas / groups have to be selected; either by use of the selection keys
(selective gong) with the ALL-key (general gong). Pressing the GONG-key releases the gong
signal. While the gong signal is being transmitted, the GONG-LED lights continuously or
blinks (also refer to indications). The gong's priority can be set to 6 or 7. Therefore it has
priority over announcements from any paging station, except for the directing terminal (priority
10).Pressing the STOP-key cancels the transmission of a gong signal.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________
Vocal Message
A text message recorded on the optional message module or on an external
recording/playback device can be transmitted into any selectable area or group of the entire
installation.
First, the desired areas / groups have to be selected; either by use of the selection keys with
the ALL-key.
Pressing the TEXT-key starts the reproduction of the prerecorded message that had been
assigned during configuration. While the text message is being transmitted, the TEXT-LED
lights steadily or blinks (also refer to indications). The text message priority can be set to
values between 2 and 8.
Pressing the STOP-key cancels the transmission of a text message.
General Alarm
A general alarm signal is always transmitted to all lines of the entire installation.
Pressing the covered ALARM-key launches the integrated alarm. The key is lit while the
alarm signal is being transmitted. The priority of the alarm can be set between 7 and 9 and
therefore it has priority over any announcement or other event, except for those that were
ignited from the directing paging station (priority 10).
Pressing the STOP-key or subsequently pressing the ALARM-key cancels the alarm.
Selective Alarm
When a paging station is equipped with a second ALARM-key providing the option for
selective alarms, it is possible to transmit alarm signals into selected lines.
Equivalent to the procedure for making a selective call you first have to select the areas /
groups to which the alarm signal shall be transmitted. Afterwards you have to press the
covered ALARM-key to start the selective alarm. The key is lit during an outgoing alarm. You
can now already enter the lines for the following alarm. Pressing the STOP-key or
subsequently pressing the ALARM-key cancels the alarm.
Note: Launching an alarm is not related to the priority setting of the paging station it has been
activated from. An alarm can be launched from any microphone terminal at any time, even
when the system is in stand-by mode. A running alarm is optically and occasionally also
acoustically indicated at every paging station.
Canceling Signals
Pressing the STOP-key cancels alarms, gong signals and text message transmissions.
Events can only be terminated at the paging station they were launched from with the
exception of the directing terminal (paging tation with the highest priority possible 10).
Through the directing station it is possible to cancel any signal in progress.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW
_________________________________________________________
System ON / OFF
The ON-key switches a PROMATRIX system ON or OFF. Mostly, it is not intended that any
paging station is provided with the possibility to do so. Thus, this function can be programmed
via PC-configuration.
When the system is in stand-by mode, the ON-LED is off. Pressing the ON-key turns the
PROMATRIX system's over on which can take up to 10 seconds while the ON-LED is
blinking. Once the system is ready for operation, the ON-LED lights continuously (which also
applies for all paging stations of the entire installation).
To switch the system OFF, you have to press the ON-key for approximately 1 second. This
feature is provided to prevent inadvertently turning off the system.
Pressing an ALARM-key or igniting an alarm sequence at external terminals automatically
switches the PROMATRIX system's power on and boots the system.
Program Assignment
When this feature has been activated during the PC-configuration procedure, it is possible to
assign programs o individual areas and groups of the entire installation.
First, by pressing the PROGRAM-key, the paging station has to be set to the program-assign
mode. Pressing a single or several selection keys assigns the outputted program (background
music) to the selected areas and groups. The corresponding LEDs are lit. Program
transmission has always the lowest priority (1). The signal level is determined during system
configuration. The assignment stays memorized until the selection keys are pressed again.
Pressing the CANCEL-key erases the entire assignment-pattern.
Subsequently pressing the PROGRAM-key or any other function key cancels the program-
assign mode. It is also automatically canceled after approximately 15 seconds.
In single-program configuration the music reproduction in all areas of the installation is
attenuated for the time of an announcement. In double-program configuration it is possible to
transmit the background music program into rooms that are not part of an actual
announcement selection unaltered. If every line incorporates its own F-output and separate
power amplifiers, it is possible to mix announcements and background programs in any way.
Special Functions
Generally, it is possible to assign a function to each selection key. This allows to utilize a
paging station to control the lighting, door openers, blinds, etc.; even controlling volume
settings is possible through the use of the UP / DOWN keys.
How to program and assign special functions is explained in detail in the PROMATRIX user
handbook. When shipped, there are no special functions assigned.

General description
SAE-JIN Emergency Towing System – ETS – is designed to meet the requirements of
IMO’S resolution MSC. 35(63) May 1. 1994 and supplementary requirements given by the
classification societies.

The main reason for having the Emergency Towing System installed onboard in a tanker,
is to have the possibility to make a safe and quick connection through a permanent
installed towing wire, to a tugboat, if an emergency situation should occur.

y The pick-up gear can easily be deployed by one man within 15minutes.
y The two separate buoys with flashing lights make the pick-up gear easy to find and
pick up by the tugboat.
y The arrangements should at all times be capable of rapid deployment in the absence
of main power on the ship to be towed and easy connection to the towing vessel.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION OF AFT ETS
Emergency procedure
SAE-JIN’S Emergency Towing System is always ready for deployment at any time when
properly installed and maintained.
For safe operation, follow the procedure below :
1. Go to pick up gear container.
2. Grip the releaser lever (sea side of container) and lift it free from the fly bolt.
3. Pull the release lever to open cover.
4. Make sure the whole pick-up gear is falling freely into the water after releasing the
lever.

Note!
To avoid injury to the operator, keep away from the free falling rope/wire.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW

_______________________________________________________

5. As soon as the pick-up gear is in the water, it can be picked up by a tugboat. When
the tugboat has made fast connection, it can start pulling out the towing wire. The
weak link on the storage drum will break at a pull of approximately 3.5 tons. Then
the towing wire will fall out by its own weight, controlled by the centrifugal brake
fitted to the drum.

Note! “WARNING”
The tug boat should never pull out the towing wire by using full engine power. After
breaking the weak link in the securing device the tug boat should let the wire run out
by its own weight until the end socket is resting against the strong point. Then full
engine power can be used.

Retrieval procedure.

Steering Gear Room Air Motor Connection box for Air Motor
1. Remove the cover on the end of the centrifugal brake on the storage drum and
install the air motor.
2. Spool the retrieval wire on the smallest storage part of the drum.
 LNG/C BERGE ARZEW

_____________________________________________________
3. When the end socket of the wire is resting properly on the drum, guide the towing
wire through the split flange to the largest storage side of the drum.
Spool the towing wire on the drum and monitor that correct spooling is obtained.
Rinse the towing wire with fresh water while it’s being retrieved.
When spooling, check for damage to the wires. Of any, we strongly recommend to
replace the wire with a new one.
4. Retrieve the pick-up gear on deck by hand or by means of wearing head on a
mooring winch.

Note!
The weight of the wet pick-up gear is heavy. If hand retrieved, it can slip and
cause injury to the operator.
