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.

5.2 Product description
