A Savelyev DYNAMIC POSITIONING SYSTEM

POWER APPLICATION

SWITCH ON

To switch the IVCS 2000 on, independently press the Power pushbuttons on the Main Control Panels of both consoles. After that a voltage is applied to all system components and the computers are started. In a few seconds, the IVCS 2000 loads and the Main Screen appears.

NOTE: The console which was loaded first is Master. If both systems start, last station in command is master.

THE MAIN SCREEN

Select the Real Mode option on the Master console to start the IVCS 2000 operation in Real Mode. Select the Simulator Mode option on the Master console to start the IVCS 2000 operation in

Simulator Mode.

Select the Services option on the Master (or Hot Standby) console to load the Services Window The Hours indicator shows total operating time (running hours).

SHUT DOWN

There are two ways to switch off the IVCS 2000 and shut down the computer, correctly. In any case, at first, it is necessary to switch the system to the Bridge Mode before shutting down. It is recommended to transfer the system into Standby Mode before switching to Bridge.

Basic method (automatic):

Transfer the system into the Bridge Mode.

Hold the Power Pushbutton on the Hot Standby console for 2 seconds. Then, the IVCS 2000 Hot Standby console will be unloaded and the computer will be shut down. Then, the LCD &Touch

- 1 -

Screen power and Control Panels power is switched off immediately and all other system components power will automatically be switched off in 3 (three) minutes.

Hold the Power Pushbutton on the Master console for 2 seconds. Then, the IVCS 2000 will be completely switched off in 3 minutes.

Additional method (manual):

Transfer the system into the Bridge Mode.

Exit an operational mode of the IVCS 2000 using Exit Key .

Select Shut Down option in the Main Screen of the Hot Standby console. Then, the computer will be shut down.

Hold the Power Pushbutton of the Hot Standby console for 2 seconds and power will automatically be switched off in 3 minutes.

Select Shut Down option in the Main Screen of the Master console. Then, the computer will be shut down. Hold the Power Pushbutton

of the Master console for 2 seconds and power will automatically be switched off in 3 minutes. Emergency method - Used only in emergency situation when it is impossible to switch the system into the Bridge Mode:

Hold the Power Pushbutton on the Hot Standby console for 10 seconds. Then, the

IVCS 2000 Hot Standby console will be unloaded and the computer will be shut down. Then, the LCD &Touch Screen power and Control Panels power is switched off immediately and all other system components power will automatically be switched off in 3 (three) minutes. Hold the Power Pushbutton on the Master console for 10 seconds. Then, the IVCS 2000 will be completely switched off in 3 minutes.

NOTE: During the shut down process the following inscription is displayed on the LCD: System is automatically shut down.

Power off request is received.

SYSTEM INITIALIZATION

Thrusters Selected - It is possible at any moment of the IVCS 2000 operation (and also before the control transfer from the Bridge Mode to the IVCS 2000), to switch On/Off actuators in Auto Mode operation in the Auto or Manual Thruster Windows, using Actuator Control Buttons. When an actuator is disabled from Auto Mode operation, it is controlled manually. It is recommended not to switch more than one actuator off from the Auto Mode. This can result in insufficient thrusts. Sensors Initialization - When transferring control from the Bridge Mode to the IVCS 2000, make sure that the data being received from external sensors is correct and that proper processing results. Red color of the circle means failure of data or data processing.

BRIDGE CONTROL MODE

This mode provides Vessel Control from the Bridge Control Station, using conventional levers, bow thruster control levers and steering levers or wheel. The IVCS 2000 is in operation and is ready for control acceptance.

ACTUATOR SYNCHRONIZATION

Before transferring control from the Bridge Mode to the IVCS 2000, it is recommended to perform the following actuator synchronization using the Manual Actuator Softkeys.

- 2 -

For Thrusters - Set thruster in a neutral position both in the IVCS 2000 (using the Manual Thruster Window) and on the vessel’s console (using thruster levers) in order to avoid jumps at the moment of transferring.

For Rudders and Propellers - Set Rudder and Propeller values for the IVCS 2000 equal to actual values of real vessel actuators, in order to avoid jumps at the moment of transfer. Otherwise, at the moment of transfer the system will set the actual values of real vessel actuators as the Actuator Set Value.

STAND BY CONTROL MODE

This mode provides Vessel Control through the IVCS 2000. It is impossible to control from the Bridge Control Station. Manual independent control of all vessel actuators is provided in the Standby Control mode. The system is ready to pass the control to the JDP Mode or to Autopilot Mode at any moment.

JOYSTICK AND KNOB SYNCHRONIZATION

To avoid sudden and large thruster movements, it is necessary to perform the Joystick and/or Knob synchronization upon receipt of the synchronizing alarm message and voice announcement. Red color of Knob Match and/or Joystick Match indicators, on active Control Panel, also indicates the necessity to synchronize.

To synchronize the Joystick and/or Knob, move the Joystick lever and/or rotate the Knob in the direction pointed by red arrows of Knob Match and/or Joystick Match until they become dim. It is also possible to achieve synchronization by matching of the Joystick and/or Knob position with the end of Actual Control Force Vector and/or Actual Control Moment accordingly in the Hold Plot Window.

MANUAL ACTUATORS CONTROL

Manual Actuator Control can be provided in:

Stand By mode: for all vessel actuators.

Autopilot Mode: for rudders.

J/DP Mode: for actuators, disabled from automatic control.

To change an Actuator Set Value use Manual Actuator Control Softkeys (◄►) in the Manual Thruster Window.

CONTROL TRANSFER

TRANSFER BETWEEN BRIDGE AND THE IVCS 2000

To transfer the control from the Bridge to the IVCS 2000, switch the Steering Selector into the DP position. Then, the IVCS 2000 is ready for operation in Stand By Mode.

NOTE: In this case, control is transferred to the active Control Panel.

- 3 -

To transfer the control from the IVCS 2000 to the Bridge, switch the Steering Selector into the Bridge position. It is recommended to transfer the system into Standby Mode before switching to Bridge for actuator manual synchronizing.

CONTROL TRANSFER BETWEEN THE MASTER AND HOT STANDBY CONSOLE

For control transfer between The Master and Hot Standby consoles, the Accept Control Pushbutton is used. A green LED Indicator in the Accept Control Pushbutton indicates that console is in control.

When first switching the IVCS 2000 on, the Main Control panel of the Master Console becomes active.

The Control Transfer Procedure between Master and Hot Standby consoles is - press the Accept Control button on the Operator Console, where control is to be transferred to, and hold it for two seconds. Control is then transferred to this console, its LED indicator becomes illuminated, and the one on the previous console becomes extinguished.

TRANSFER BETWEEN THE MAIN AND PORTABLE CP

The Control Transfer Procedure between Main Control and Portable Control Panels of the Master Console is the same as described above.

NOTE: If the Portable CP is connected to the Hot Standby Main CP, the Control Transfer Procedure is the same. In this case, the Hot Standby Console becomes the Master.

NOTE: On transferring control from the Bridge Mode to the IVCS 2000, control is transferred to the active Control Panel.
