5 About this product
5.1 Performance description
The Marex ECS Actuator is used to set mechanically the engine
speed and transmission direction of ship propulsion systems. It
receives control commands from the Marex ECS Control Unit via
the PROPULSION cable. The electric signals from the control
unit are converted into motion of the actuator’s lever. The lever
operates a push/pull cable which acts on throttle and gearbox.
A teach-in-function is provided to store lever positions for
defined engine speeds and gear box settings within a lever
travel of 76 mm.
In addition, the lever of the Marex ECS Actuator can be used as
an emergency handle.
The Marex ECS Actuator is designed for the operation with
Marex ECS. Depending on the software some of the functions
which are described in these assembly instructions may not be
supported. Refer to the operating instructions of the complete
system for the available functions before starting Marex ECS up
in order to prevent operating errors.
