Lubrication instruction for open gears with Klber lubricant:

It is of highly importance that the personnel installing and operating
the winch reads and follows this instruction carefully. Any deviation
might lead to severe damage to the gears.

Chapter 1:
Preservation at winch factory and installation at yard:
1.1
All tooth flanks are washed and covered by 50 micron of Primer
Interzink 72 and 120 micron of Klbertop KB 118 when they are
delivered from the winch factory. This will give sufficient
preservation for the gears for an installation period of six months.
For longer storage period than six months, please contact Rolls-Royce
Marine, Dep.: Deck Machinery - Brattvaag for long time preservation
procedure.
1.2
Those areas, which need to be cleaned for alignment checks during
installation, must be repainted with Klbertop KB 118 to avoid
corrosion.
1.3
After installation and before the winch is rotated and lubricated, the
gear covers must be removed. All tooth flanks shall be carefully
cleaned to remove any contamination. The Klbertop KB 118 does
not need to be removed. However, if there is the slightest doubt about
cleanness, the Klbertop KB 118 has also to be removed.
1.4
Do not run the winch under load with Klbertop KB 118 only, or
without lubricant at all.

Chapter 2:
Running in period:
2.1
To smooth out the tooth surfaces after machining, the gears have to go
through a running in period. Grafloscon B-SG 00 Ultra has the
characteristic to polish the teeth and improve the contact ratio for the
engagements.
2.2
Grafloscon B-SG 00 Ultra is soft and needs to be applied continuously
during the running in period. We recommend applying the lubricant
by a spray gun for manual lubricated winches. For automatic
lubricated winches, make sure that the lubrication system is adjusted
to give correct quantity. Do not use Grafloscon B-SG 00 Ultra to
other purposes than gear wheel lubrication.
2.3
For running in lubrication, apply the type of lubricant and at least the
quantity stated in table and calculation below:

The quantity in cm3/min is found by multiplying the number in the

table by the width of the teeth in cm. 1 cm3 corresponds to 1 gram.
Example:
Width of teeth 35 cm, lubrication wheels, ambient temperature below
+30 oC: Quantity = 35 x 0,060 = 2.10 cm3/min
2.4
It is of highly importance to check the gear to verify that the lubricant
covers the gear flanks completely.
2.5
If the winch has been out of operation for some time, the gears have to
be re-lubricated before continuing.
2.6
If the winch shall be parked for a longer period, the gears have to be
properly lubricated to avoid corrosion.
2.7
During the running in period, the gears have to be checked before and
after each job to make sure that the process is working well. The
surfaces shall get smoother and the contact area increase.
2.8
In this period, small damages might appear because the contact ratio is
not yet fully developed. Pay special attention to the tooth tops. A
sharp edge might develop. The edge can cause damage to the gears.
If damages are found, observe them. In case they grow in size, please
contact Rolls-Royce Marine, Dep.: Deck Machinery - Brattvaag for
consultance.

For the first 20 working hours, it is recommended to run the winch
with reduced loads. The running in period is normally completed after
100 working hours. The tooth surfaces shall be checked to verify that
it has been smoothen out as intended. If not, the running in period
shall be extended.

Example:
Width of teeth 35 cm, lubrication wheels, ambient temperature +5 to
+30 oC: Quantity = 35 x 0,041 = 1,44 cm3/min
3.2
For manual lubricated winches, we recommend to apply the lubricant
by use of a spray gun.
3.3
For automatic lubrication systems with spray nozzles, the spray
pattern must be frequently checked and nozzles adjusted to ensure that
the flanks are completely covered with lubricant. The spray pattern
can be checked by putting a paper on to a tooth before spraying.
3.4
For automatic lubrication system with lubrication wheels, the tooth
flanks must be checked to verify that a thin layer of lubricant covers
them.
3.5
IT IS THE CREWS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE PROPER
LUBRICATION OF THE GEARS. MAKE FREQUENTLY
CHECKS TO MONITOR THE GEARS.
REMEMBER; ALL AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS CAN FAIL.

Degaussing button
This is an special electronic feature built into the monitor which allows the operator to
demagnetize the screen, this because over prolonged periods of use the screen will
magnetize itself and the result is that the image on the screen could be slightly blurred , which
is caused by the colors tendency to bleed into each other . The monitor degausses itself at
each power on , so this effect will be avoided if the screen is regularly switched off. For

2.8.5 Cleaning the screen

Monitors need to be cleaned for dust and fingerprints at regular.
If the monitor is fitted with a touchscreen one can obviously not touch the screen without the
risk of changing parameter and statuses unintentionally, therfore it has to be turned off first.
The screen should be cleaned with special CRT cleaning towlettes or a cloth moistend with
weak soapwater.
Never use any strong solvents for cleaning the screen!

OPERATION
Like so many other systems that surround us today, the monitoring and control system is
based on computer technology. The operator will usually identify the control system with the
Monitor and the Trackball, which hell use in his daily work. All communication between the
operator and the control system will almost without exception be confined to these two units.
This is what often is called the MMI; the Man Machine Interface. There are several possible
options to choose from when selecting the MMI units, hence the configuration described in
this manual may not be equal to the one of your system. The two units used for MMI are a
Trackball and/or a monitor with built-in Touch-screen facility. Your system may include
either options, or only a trackball and an ordinary monitor. If your system includes both
options, they will both be usable at the same time.

Using Trackball
If you are familiar to using a PC you may most likely have used a trackball before,
or youll pretty soon find out by yourself how it works.
However, if you are new to using this type of equipment, here are some hints :
Move
Cursor
Click
Look at the picture on the monitor, and try to find the Cursor.
Keep an eye on the cursor and at the same time rotate the ball on the Trackball.
You should now see the cursor moving on your screen.
Try to move the cursor to and from definite places on the picture to get used to its
movements.
Now move the cursor to the top of the screen and place it on one of the tabs.
Press the left key on the Trackball. The picture on your screen will now change according to

works. This is what is called a click
Move the cursor to the lower right corner and place it on the Clock-panel.
Press the left key on the trackball rapidly two times.
This is what is called double-click
Your screen should now contain a panel with the heading Adjust Time.
Move the cursor to the OK-button and press the left key once more. The panel disappears.
Try this a number of times to get used to click and double-click
3.2
Using a Touchscreen
You have probably been using a touch-screen quite a lot of times without even thinking about
what is behind the surface. What is common for all types of touchscreens is that they all
display some kind of buttons on a monitor screen. The most familiar is maybe the type you
find on some ATMs and Infosystems at various airports. In the way of use, they are all the
same: simply press your finger on the button on the screen.
However, if you are new to using this type of equipment, here are some hints :
Move
Cursor
Look at the picture on the monitor, and try to find the Cursor.
Keep an eye on the cursor and tap your finger somewhere else on the screen. Not on a
button this time. Notice that when you withdraw your hand the cursor has now moved to
where you tapped your finger. Try to move the cursor to and from definite places on the
picture to get used to its movements. Be careful not to hit one of the buttons.
Now press your finger on the cursor and move it upwards while keeping a light pressure on
the screen, then move down an around the screen. Be careful not to cross one of the
buttons. Notice that the cursor now follows your fingertip and when you withdraw your
hand it remains where you last touched the screen.
Click
DoubleClick
Tap your finger on one of the tabsor labels at the top of the screen, the picture on your
screen will now imideately change according to your selection.
.Try to change between the different pictures to get the feel of how this works. This is what

Move the cursor to the lower right corner and place it on the Clock-panel by touching the
screen at that point. Tap on the panel rapidly two times. You may also tap two times on the
panel at once. This is what is called double-click when operating the touchscreen.
Your screen should now contain a panel with the heading Adjust Time.
Tap with your finger on the OK-button. The panel disappears.

3.3 Screen Elements

This section will explain briefly about the different elements youll find on the monitor
pictures. The monitor is not only used to display information; it is in fact more like a control
console. As described in earlier the monitor is the systems most important
MMI-element. Getting familiar with the MMI and the several picture elements is essential to
the comprehension of how to use the system. It is advisable to study this part of the manual
before proceeding to the more advanced functions.
3.3.1
Folders, Tabs and Panels

Unlike many other systems this system has no pulldown menus. This means that you never
need to change from one picture to another just to get access to the one you really wanted.
Your monitor screen may be compared to a file cabinet with an open drawer. Just click on
one of the tabs at the top of the picture, and the folder you have selected will display its
contents on the screen. You may open any folder at any time just by one click on its tab.
Every monitor picture is made up of numerous elements. Youll see that the picture is divided
into separate parts, called Panels. Each panel have its own special function; and some panels
are even pop-ups that presents itself to you only when it is needed..

3.3.2 System Panel

The System Panel occupies a narrow section across the lower part of all pictures, and is
mainly intended to display the Systems condition. If some serious faults should occur in the
electronic systems, there will be a message on the middle part of the panel. Normally youll
never see any of these messages, and they are only useful for service engineers.
At the left end of this panel, there are 16 small, pillar-shaped rectangles. Each of these
indicates one electronic unit that may be connected to the bus-system. How many units that
are in fact connected may vary on different installations.
A grey rectangle indicates that no electronic unit has occupied that special bus address.
A green rectangle indicates a unit that is connected,
operating normally and is communicating on the bus.
A blue rectangle indicates that a unit is detected,
has received all its messages, and is ready to communication the bus.
A yellow rectangle indicates that a unit is detected,
but it is at the moment in initiallization mode, possibly waiting for data .
A red rectangle indicates that a unit has previously been detected,
but has been lost. In other words it is either malfunctioning or lost its power.
Next to the bus-indicators there is a small box with a text like 12 MPS . The digit will
vary according to the traffic on the bus. A low value will indicate that the traffic at the
moment is moderate. Thatll be typical when winches are not used. The value may be very
low (1-4 MPS) if no operations has been executed for a long time. When hoisting heavy
loads in rough weather, with wire tension constantly changing, the bus traffic pick up and he
value in the traffic indicator window will then be considerably higher. This indicator is only
useful for service engineers.
On the right part of the System Panel there is a box displaying a clock.
The clock may be adjusted at any time to synchronise with other systems.
Next to the clock, at the left; there is a box displaying a numeral of several digits. This
indicates how much free memory that is available on the system. The value displayed will
normally be changing, but variation should be insignificant. Normal variation is less than 100.
This indicator is only useful for service engineers.

Buttons and Lamps

As described earlier in this manual the monitor screen is the main part of TOWCONs MMI
system. The pictures on the screen are more like control panels rather than just illustrations.
Graphic techniques are used to make it look like the screen contains real push-buttons and
indicator lamps. To activate a Button you should click on it as described in section 1.3.3
and 1.3.4. Buttons may have several different shapes, but they all have in common that youll
see some kind of alternation when you activate them. Some buttons will change appearance
permanently as you activate or deactivate them, while others will go back to their original
look as soon as you release the left key on the trackball. ( or moves your finger away from the
touchscreen ). It may seem difficult to discern between Lamps and Buttons. This doesnt
really matter, because nothing will happen if you click on a lamp. Lamps are only used to
display changes in some kind of operation, and have no influence on the winch control.
3.3.4
Digital Displays
Some pictures introduce important information in Digital Displays. This is boxes of different
extent displaying a digital value of some measured and calculated indicator signal. Typical
use is presentation of oil temperature, motor pressure/RPM and wire length. If there is defined
an alarm limit related to the topical measuring result, the displays background colour will
change if calculated value is too high ( or too low ).

3.3.5 Bargraphs
On other pictures, measuring results may be displayed as Bar Graphs. This is boxes of
different extent, containing a coloured bar with adjacent scale lines and dimension text.
Typical use is presentation of oil temperature, motor pressure/RPM and wire length. If there is
defined an alarm limit related to the topical measuring result, the bars colour will change if
calculated value is too high ( or too low ).
3.3.6 Meters
Some measuring results will even be displayed as Panel Meters. This is images having an
appearance more or less like those good, old-fashioned circular dial instruments that were
used on control panels some years ago. Typical use is presentation of oil temperature, motor
pressure/RPM and wire length. The dial plate may be divided in sectors with different
colours,
indicating for instance low-values, normal operation and high-values.
3.3.7 Sliders
Both Bar Graphs, Trend Displays and Meters may have attached Sliders. A Slider is an
image that may be moved in certain directions along a specified path, typical along the outer
circle of a meter. How to drag sliders is explained in chapter 1.3.3 / 1.3.4. As a slider is
moved, the appurtenant meter/bars appearance will change. As an example the size of the
sectors on a meter may be adjusted in this way. As long as the slider is moving, therell also
be a digital value displayed to show its position at the moment.
On these examples is shown how it

looks like when a slider is being
moved on a Meter and on a Bar
Graph. Notice the black cursors
and the digital values.
It is also indicated by cursors in
other colours where cursor must be
placed to get a grip on the other
sliders.
Hint :
If you think its difficult to get a
grip of the slider you want to
move, try to place the cursor on the
bar-area and move it towards the
limit you want to change.

3.3.8
Popup Menus and Keypad

To be able to adjust wire lengths, wire diameters, or maybe just correct the system clock,
a keypad is needed. The keypad is a pop-up thatll be accessible by double-clicking on the
right elements on certain monitor pictures. What may be adjusted by use of the numeric
keypad is described in other sections of this manual. Notice that the pop-up menu for
correcting the system clock is made special for this purpose, and dont look exactly like the
numeric keypad.
Nevertheless, they are quite similar in the way they are used.
Keypad is only accessible on monitor pictures showing system parameters such as mentioned
above. These parameters are normally displayed on special pictures, and are most easily
recognised as a text followed by a small, black on white digital display, and behind that some
unit of measure. These picture imagess will in this manual be referred to as executing
elements. When opening the keypad, place the cursor on the executing element on screen and
double-click on it. The keypad will then open and be accessible until you click on the enterbutton.
Illustration shows keypad
opened to correct value
for Wire Length.
Notice that keypad
becomes accessible both
when double-clicking on
the text-line and on the
digital display box,
because they are both
executing elements for
this winch parameter.
To get access to the keypad, double-click on one of the lines or its topical digital
display.
On this clip you can see the text-cursor in the display box for Wire Length. This is
the only mark that for sure is indicating what digital value you are about to adjust.
Click on the Cancel-button if you have opened the wrong digital display,
or if you after all decide not to change the value.
Keypad will then close, and the digital valuell remain unchanged.
To adjust a value, click on the CLR-button until you have deleted what was wrong
and then write in the correct value by using the number-buttons. As you clear faulty
digits or write in the correct ones youll see the contents of the digital display change.
When you have changed the value and can see in the digital display box that its
correct, just click ENTER and the keypadll close. The correct value is now stored
in the system.

4.1.2 Preparing Operation

Before starting any pumps, one should always make sure that brakes are engaged,
and that there are no open valves, filters etc due to maintenance work or other, and that all
personnel are alarmed against the danger of getting injured in chains, wires etc. because of
winches is now being used. Further information is to be found in Users Instructions for
Remote Control. Take special notice of all procedures concerning safety of crew and craft.
4.1.3 Start of Hydraulic Pumps & Servo Units
On most vessels were TOWCON is the winch monitoring system, remote start of Servo Units
and Hydraulic Pump Units is only executed by this system. Of course all pumps still may be
started by operating switches on the starter cabinets, and the Emergency Stop system will
always be in function.
Start and stop of pumps is done by clicking on buttons on the monitor pictures. Some pumps
may deliver oil to one or another winch dependent on use of change over valves. If pumps are
running, but oil is not supplied to topical winch, this will be indicated on monitor. Oil supply
to this winch may be claimed by clicking start-button belonging to the topical winch. Please
study example below.
Example shows part of monitoring picture for a
Special Handling Drum
Example shows that pump 17b is in service, and
that oil from this pump unit is available for the
Special H. Winch.
Pump 17a is also running, but oil from this pump
is at the moment not available for use on the
Special H. Winch.
If the oil supplied from pump 17a is requested for
use on the Special H. Winch, this may be achieved
simply by clicking on the start-button. The grey
NO OIL -lamp will then change to a green
AVAILABLE-lamp, and change over valves
will be operated automatically to make oil flow
from pump 17a to the Special H. Winch.
Most TOWCON Systems include a special monitor picture for control of pump units. By
operation of buttons on this picture, normally all pump units can be started and stopped, and
if there is Change Over Valves these may also be overrided by On/Off buttons. Override of
change over valves should not be carried out unless for function testing, because valves will
automatically be activated to make oil flow to the requested winch.
On examples of monitor pictures below, notice that pump 17a is monitored as running on 2
panels on the PUMPS picture and on 1 panel on the SPECIAL H picture. This may in
the beginning seem a little confusing, but is in fact very easy to operate. Control of pumps
Start/Stop from the panel Manual Pump Control will do nothing else but starting or
stopping pumps. All appurtenant running indicators to a special pump will change at the same
time on all panels as the pump is stopped or started. When clicking on the Start-button on a
panel belonging to a certain winch, also change over valves will be operated at the same time

vary according to position of change over valves. Requesting oil from one certain pump to a
dedicated winch is always done by clicking the pumps start-button on panel belonging to
that winch. If the pump is already running, only change over valves will be operated. If the
pump is stopped, it will also be started

4.1.4 Manual pay-out --- Wire Length Limit

Before starting to pay out wire or chain, operations as described in section 1.4.3 must be
carried out. Shooting may be done in two different ways; either lowering by use of the speed
control, or by reducing motors stalling force by the tension control until winch is rendering.
Please study users instructions for the remote control to get more information about this.
Often when paying out wire it is decided on beforehand what the wire-length is to be when
payout is completed. Of course the operator may look after this by constantly watching the
length bar graph and digital display on the monitor, but there is also a more pleasant way to
do this. By giving TOWCON the right information, the operator may get a warning when a
special wire length is reached, and thus do not have to pay too much attention to the monitor
screen during this operation.
EXAMPLE :
Wire length is to be 2550 metres when pay-out is completed, and
towing operation is to be carried out at that length.
Operator is preparing to pay out wire by use of the tension control. (
or speed control ) Because hell not be constantly watching the
monitor during pay-out of almost 900 metres of wire, he is now
adjusting the wire length alarm limit to 2550 m.
This is done by placing the cursor on the scale line between green
and red on the Length Bar; and then drag the limit to the new
alarm value. This narrow part of the length bar is also referred to as
the length limit bar in this manual.
Then hell adjust the tension control until winch starts to render, and
when the length limit is reached hell get an audible alarm from
TOWCON in time to concentrate merely on the winch before the
determined towing length is exceeded.
The length bar will now be red,
because the alarm limit is exceeded.
When towing length is reached, hell once again adjust the length
alarm limit to get a warning if the winch pays out too much during
towing operation.

4.1.5 Keeping the Towing Length --- Wire Length Limit

During towing operation it is most often preferable to keep the brake disengaged and let the
winch motors supply the holding power. In this way one will derive advantage from the lowpressure hydraulics special quality of being a strain restrictive braking device. If pressure in
hydraulic motors exceeds a certain limit the winch will render, and in this way it is possible to
take special care about how powerful strain is possible to get on wire. However there is
always a small leakage in hydraulic motors, causing that winch will render quite slowly. Even
though the rendering because of hydraulic creep is rather imperceptible, thisll still make the
wire length paid out to increase with some metres every hour. If it is very important not
letting the wire length exceed a certain limit, the operator may get a warning from TOWCON.
By adjusting the Wire Length Limit, an audible alarm will be heard when this special wire
length is reached. In this way the winch operator dont have to pay too much attention to the
monitor screen during towing operations.
EXAMPLE :
Wire length is to be 2800 metres when pay-out is completed, and
towing operation is to be carried out at that length.
Wire length is not allowed to exceed 3000m.
Operator has already paid out wire. Because he dont want to be
constantly watching the monitor during endless hours of towing
operation, hell take benefits of using the TOWCON system to help
him keeping an eye on the wire length.
Hell now adjust the wire length alarm limit to 2950 metres.
This is done by placing the cursor on the scale line
between green and red on the Length Limit Bar;
and then drag the limit to the new alarm value.
Then hell adjust the tension control until winch just starts to render to
find the minimum necessary pressure, before he makes the final
adjustment of the towing pressure; which may vary according to
weather conditions, wire length and load.
When the length limit is reached hell get an audible alarm from
TOWCON in time to concentrate merely on the winch before the
determined towing length is exceeded.
On his monitor screen the Length Bar Graph
will have changed to red colour.
Hint : Drag
Want a warning also when pulling in ?

Its possible to adjust even an alarm limit for a minimum length. Do as
described for adjusting the maximum length, and the lower part of the
scale will change to yellow colour. When length get shorter than this
limit, even the Length Bar will change colour to yellow. OOPS ! Youll
get no audible warning.

4.1.6 Monitor motor pressure --- Max Pressure Limit- Pmax

During towing operation with disengaged brake one will derive advantage from the low-pressure
hydraulics special quality of being a strain restrictive braking device. If pressure in hydraulic motors
exceeds a certain limit the winch will render, and in this way it is possible to control how powerful
the winch should be. However, it may be convenient to know if the pressure is frequently exceeding
the adjusted level. By adjusting the alarm limit for high pressure this may be achieved. See also the
users manual for remote control for more information about how to operate tension control.
EXAMPLE :
Wire length is to be 2800 metres when pay-out is completed, and towing
operation is to be carried out at that length.
Operator dont want to be constantly
watching the monitor during endless
hours of towing operation, but will
take benefits of using the TOWCON
system to help him keeping an eye on
the wire length. He has already
adjusted the wire length limit, and
will now adjust the tension needed to
hold the load. He wants the winch to
pay out smoothly if tension in wire
suddenly increases, and do not want
the winch to hold more than just
what is necessary.
First step should be to adjust the tension control until winch just starts to render to find the
minimum necessary pressure. Then, to secure that the winch is capable of holding the load
without rendering, the tension adjustment should be increased a little.
How much extra power to be calculated must be decided by the winch operator as a result of his
experience and know-how, regarding to the present towing conditions. As a default setting may
be used the measured pressure plus 15%.
In our example lets say that the winch renders at about 25 Bar, and that pressure variation is
between 20 and 30 Bar. Operator estimates 32 Bar to be passable. The maximum pressure in our
example system is 48 Bar. So, roughly calculated the adjustment on tension knob, which has a
scale 1 10, should be somewhere between 6 and 7 is set to a little above 6.
When this is done, an alarm limit for motor pressure may be adjusted to get a warning each time
this limit is exceeded.
This is done by placing the cursor on the UP-button for Pmax on the right side of the circular
Pressure Instrument; and then click the limit to the new alarm value. One click will decrease the
value by one bar. As this is done the uppermost part of the scale ,in red colour, will grove
correspondingly . To increase the limit value (= decrease the red scale area) just click on the
DOWN-button.

4.1.7 Monitor wire tension --- Tension Alarm

During towing operation with engaged brake, the winch has no other strain restriction than
what is in the brake itself. Adjusting towing force must than be done by operation of the
vessel. The TOWCON system offers however the possibility of setting an alarm limit at a
certain load. An alarm will be given also if load exceeds this limit when brake is disengaged.
Example :
Vessel is supposed to be towing with fixed wire length.
Tension in wire is not allowed to exceed 280 tonnes.
Winch operator has adjusted wire length to agreed value and
engaged the brake. He wants TOWCON to give him a
warning if wire tension approaches the allowed maximum
limit of 280 tonnes. To have some safety margin he decides
to set the alarm limit at 265 tonnes.
This is done by placing the cursor on the scale line between
green and red on the Tension Bar; and then drag the limit to
the new alarm value.
This narrow part of the tension bar is also referred to as the
tension limit bar in this manual.

4.1.8 Releasing the brake check Tension Control adjustment.

During towing operation with an engaged brake, the winch has no other strain restriction than
what is in the brake. When releasing, the brake wire load is being transferred from the brake
arrangement to the hydraulic motor unit, and maximum holding power is thus dependent on
the adjustment of the Tension Control. It is of great importance to check tension adjustments
beforehand to secure that winch will not render unintentionally when the brake is released.
One advantage of TOWCONs system is that the operator is able to adjust the tension control
to approximate requisite pressure to hold the load before releasing the brake.
Example :
Vessel is towing with fixed wire length at 800m and
brake engaged. Tension in wire is not allowed to exceed
180 tonnes, and must not be less than 120 tonnes. Wire
length is to be increased to 1000m.
Wire speed during this adjustment should not exceed
about 15 m/min.
Winch operator has to release brake to increase wire
length, and has to make sure that the winch will not
render to rapidly when the brake unloads. To be able to
control the pay-out speed he has decided to let the winch
render by use of the tension control, rather than paying
out by the speed control.
To secure a smooth start he adjusts the tension controller
until the dynamic tension limit indicator on the Tension
Bar is just above the present load. Hell see the indicator
moving as he adjusts the tension controller. As long as
the tension control is being adjusted therell even be a
digital value on the indicator. In this way he can securely
release the brake, in assurance that the winch will not
render uncontrolled.
He will then adjust tension firmly as he watches the Wire Speed Display to control the payout speed.
On the Wire Length Display he will get exact information about the increasing wire length,
and by increasing tension hes able to stop the pay-out at precisely the right value.
The Tension Display will show the present tension, so that this can be easily watched over at
the same time. If preferable, it is also possible to get an alarm if the tension exceeds the
maximum allowed limit. See section 4.1.7 for more info.

Notice that the Tension Controller Indicator will move up and down on the Tension Bar Scale according to more than
one factor : Calculated maximum rendering force is dependent on wire-length, motor-pressure and maybe even of how
many motors being connected to the topic drum at the time
Please study Users Instructions for Remote Control for info. about Tension Control
4.1.9 Trend Monitoring --- What happened some minutes ago ?

During long lasting towing operations, winch operator will of course have other things to do
than just gawping at the TOWCON monitor. Even in this situations when the operator has to
concentrate on other duties for some minutes, the TOWCON system will come to his
assistance. Trend Displays will give a rather good picture of what has happened during the
last minutes. Winch data is constantly being stored in log-files, and the events just happened
can be reviewed on the monitor.
Scale used on vertical axis on Tension Trend is always in Tonnes,

while scale used on vertical axis on Pressure Trend is always in Bar.
Scale on horisontal axis is always minutes.
Notice that alarm limits ( red area of the narrow Bar Graph to the left of Trend Display ) may
be adjusted both on Trend Displays and on other Bar Graphs or Meters. Adjusting limit on
one of these devices will cause the limit to be corrected also on all the others.
Hints : Bar Graphs , Trend Displays , drag , Sliders
See section 3.3.7 to brush up on how to adjust limits on Bar Graphs,
review use of Trend Displays and how to drag an alarm limit.

Example :
Vessel has been towing for a periode with brake engaged to keep the wire length fixed.
Now the winch operator is told to concentrate on avoiding heavy jerks in wire.
It is however not necessary to keep the length fixed any longer.
During towing operation with disengaged brake one will derive advantage from the low
pressure hydraulics special quality of being a strain restrictive braking device.
If pressure in hydraulic motors exceeds a certain limit the winch will render,
and in this way its possible to control how powerful the winch should be.
Winch operator may then look at the trend display showing how the tension has varied the
last minutes to get an idea of the holding power the winch motors will have to cope with.
Hell then be able to adjust tension according to this before releasing the brake.
4.1.10
Keep an eye on Oil Temperature.

During long lasting winch operation hydraulic oil will sometimes get rather warm, and to
avoid further heating action will have to be taken. Some vessels have automatic cooling
systems, while on other crafts the crew will have to look after this. Anyway, the winch
operator should always keep an eye on the oil temperature, because severe damages may arise
in motors and pumps if oil gets too hot. TOWCON has some kind of oil temperature
presentation on all the monitor pictures used during normal operation. Alarm limit is pre-set
at 65 deg. Celsius, but may be adjusted to a lower value if preferable.
Too quick variation in oil temperature may also harm motors and pumps; and should be
avoided. On the monitor picture for control of pumps is to be found a Trend Display showing
course of events in heating and cooling of the oil. If the monitored trend reveals dramatic
changes in temperature; actions must be taken to stabilise this as soon as possible. A typical
problem is that temperature drops too fast when water is being let into a water/oil cooler,
which may cause that cold oil pour into a rather warm hydraulic motor. An even more serious
problem is that hot oil my be guided into a cold motor by operation of a change over valve.
If this cant be avoided oil should be allowed to just flow through the manouver valve for a
short time befor rotating the winch. Heat from oil will then spread to the motor.
Example:
Winch operator wants to indicate a part of the
temperature scale to be the ideal range.
Recommended temperature is about 40
deg.Celsisus.
Operator has adjusted the lower scale indication to
abot 35C, and is about adjusting the upper scale
indication to 55C. Notice the digital value visisble
as long as limit is being adjusted. Alarm limit can
not be adjusted higher than 75C.

4.1.11 Avoid motor breakdown -- Overspeed Protection

Although the remote control system has a built-in overspeed protection facility to prevent
hydraulic motors being damaged by too high revolution speed, its absolutely advisable to
keep in mind RPM-values when operating the winches. Especially when lowering or letting
the winch pay out by rendering this should be carefully watched. TOWCON will take action
if too high revolution speed is detected. If the automatic overspeed protection comes into
force the winch motors will be stopped, motor pressure will be adjusted to maximum and
finally the brake will be engaged. To get a warning in time to take action to recline rotation
speed, the winch operator may adjust TOWCON to give an alarm at a lower RPM-value than
what is in fact the guaranteed maximum limit. Adjusting the alarm limit doesnt influence on
the limit on which the overspeed protection will be activated.
Example :
Vessel is to set an anchor,
and will have to lower about 1800m.
Hint : Drag
See section 3.3.7 to brush up on how
to operate sliders
Wondering whats the max RPMlimit
on your winch ?
Just try to adjust alarm limit to max
on scale, and itll automatically
be reset to max RPM-limit.
Winch operator has adjusted tension and the winch is

rendering at acceptable speed. As wire is paid out the
necessary load to make the winch render will increase.
To compensate this tension control will have to be continuous
adjusted during the pay-out. At the same time load on wire
caused by the vessels propulsion may vary, and will also
influence on the necessary rendering force on winch. As a
result of this, the tension control may accidentally be adjusted
to low, and the rendering speed may exceed the maximum
limit.
If the overspeed protection system is activated its not a
special pleasant event, because it may cause a rather severe
yank in the towing line.
To get a warning to take action while theres still time, the
winch operator decides to adjust the RPM alarm limit a little
lower than the maximum value, which is 130 RPM in this
example. Operator wants to be warned when rotation speed
exceeds 120 RPM.
This is done by placing the cursor on red area on RPM-scale;
and then drag the limit to the new alarm value.

4.1.12 What went wrong? ---- Alarm monitoring

No matter how proficient and experienced the winch operator is, accidents may still occur.
Its than valuable to have the opportunity to subsequently get detailed information from TOWCON
about what actually happened. All alarms will be stored in a log-file, and be available later on, so that
winch operator can concentrate fully on solving the problem instead of spending time on trying to
read alarm-texts before they possibly disappears.
When an alarm is activated, the sound will not go off unless someone click the Alarm Reset
button on the monitor. The Alarm-Reset button is to be found only on the ALARM-picture. A
text line on this monitor picture will give detailed information about whats wrong. Alarm texts will
not be deleted from list even if the reason to the alarm given is clarified. As alarms may be given
from time to time, new lines will be written on top of the list while old ones will finally disappear at
the bottom. All monitor pictures has an alarm-indicator that turns red when an alarm is activated and
not yet acknowledged by pressing Reset Alarm-button.
The reason why an alarm is activated is often quite obvious and easy to identify even without looking
for the explaining text-line on the Alarm-picture, because its also clearly indicated on other pictures.
As an example the colour in the Digital Display showing wire length will turn to red if the adjusted
wire length limit is exceeded. Otherwise, there may also be given alarms not detectable no other
place than on the ALARM picture; such as Emergency Stop or Low Level in expansion tank.
Example :
Vessel is to keep a specified distance to the object its towing,and the winch operator has engaged the
brake.
Suddenly a hose on the brake cylinder blows, servo oil is flushed out on deck; and level in oil
reservoir on servo unit decreases in a short time to a minimum.
Because the hose blew, servo pump couldnt maintain pressure in servo system. TOWCON detected
this and activated the audible alarm. Winch operator changed to the picture
ALARMS to see what was wrong, and pressed Alarm Reset button. He found the message LOW
BRAKE PRESSURE, but didnt stop servo pump unit. Then he got a new alarm, LOW OIL LEVEL
- MAIN SERVO. Hed had to press the Alarm Reset button once more to get rid off the audible
alarm given because of the oil level. Before so is done, the explaining textll be red. On the monitor
picture in our example we can see that there also was an alarm earlier the same day, because someone
activated Emergency Stop. That situation has obviously been clarified, because the text has turned to
grey.

4.1.13 Get the progress on paper ---- Print-Outs

Some times its essential to be able to document how things progressed during a certain operation or
time period. The best way to do this is most often simply to get statistical data presented on paper.
Normally thisll be easy understandable and may be studied continuously while event is progressing.
TOWCON offers print-out to be executed at adjustable intervals.
In addition to this all monitor pictures includes a PRINT-button. By clicking this button, each
print-out line will be printed once. Keeping the button pressed will cause continuos printing off all
print-out lines until button is released.
Print-out interval may be set to values from 1 to 9999 seconds, in step by 1;
lowest possible is 1 second. Selecting values higher than 9999 will cause printing to stop. It is not
possible to adjust decimal numerals. While printing by using the Print-button print delay will
always be 1 second between each line, which is about the quickest the printer is capable of
performing. It is not advisable to use shorter print interval than number of lines to be printed.
As an example, if there are 4 drums, and also 4 lines to be printed, print interval should not be shorter
than 4 seconds. If printer doesnt cope with the data its supposed to print each second, its memory
buffer will eventually be overfilled and data will be lost.

4.1.14 Measuring wire length.

All calculations TOWCON executes are dependent on the few basic parameters concerning
wire data. These parameters may be individual for wire on each drum, and they are available
by selecting monitor picture PARAMETERS.
Its of coarse no problem to adjust all parameters needed to calculate wire length correct when
they are known. But what is to be done when you dont know the wire length? Entering a
faulty value as wire length will most likely have influence also on tension calculations.
Following example will give some hints of how to deal with such problems.
Example :
Vessel has to take onboard an unknown length of wire, which later on is to be paid out again
when placing a buoy. All thats known about wire is that diameter is 76mm, and that length
cant possibly be more than 2400 metres. Most likely length is something between 2000 and
2300 metres. First part of wire is already spooled up on Stb Common-Handling Drum. About
5 turns on first layer is now on drum.
Winch operator decides to measure length of wire as its pulled in.
First thing to be done is to adjust wire data, so he selects monitor picture PARAMETERS.
First-layer diameter: 1390 mm

On drum: 5 turns
5turns= 1,3903,145=21,8m
Wire length out:
3000m-21,8m=2978,2metres
Remember
to click Reset Length
each time Length Out
has been corrected.
As the Stb CH picture

shows up on the monitor
screen he can see that wire
length display indicates 22
metres. Pull in of wire can
now be started.
Wire diameter is known to be 76 mm, so thats no problem.

Assuming that wire is much shorter than this, he adjusts
Wire length to 3000 metres.
How much wire thats still to be pulled in must than be the
difference between whats already on drum and the fictious total
length of 3000 metres.
Hell have to calculate this and put the value into the Wire
length out-box.
Calculation must be based on the diameter of drum on first layer
and the 5 turns of wire thats already on drum. Drum diameter on
lst-layer is found on data sheets in the Users Manual for Remote
Control, and is 1390 mm.
Knowing this winch operator is able to calculate length of wire on
drum fairly accurate to be 21,8 metres; and hence Wire length
out must be 2978,2 metres. Operator enters this wire data and
clicks on RESET LENGTH before selecting monitor picture for
Stb Common Handling Drum.

All wire is pulled in .

When all wire is pulled in Length Display still indicates that
theres 978 metres left. This only shows that the winch operator
was right when assuming that the wire was quite a lot shorter than
3000m.
Now he has to select the PARAMETER-picture once more and readjust the wire parameters. Wire length is 3000m minus the 978
978m should be left, but end

of wire still lays on deck.
Estimated wire-length: 3000m

Still indicated, end on deck:
978m
Actual length=3000-978=2022m
Dont forget to click

Out
When wire now later on is paid out, length will be displayed correctly
as contents on drum shrinks. Digital display and Length Bar will
indicate length of wire paid out.
Hint :
Remember how to use the keypad ?
If you want to refresh, study section 3.3.8
As the Stb CH picture shows up on

the monitor screen he can see that
wire length display indicates 0
metres. This is correct because all
wire now is spooled up on the drum
Please observe:
TOWCON doesnt know anything about the outer
diameter of the drums. This means that the estimated
wire length may be adjusted much longer than what
the drum actually can take.
So you dont have to estimate length very carefully,
just decide on a length that you are sure is too long.

When touchscreen or trackball has not been used for at least 5 minutes, the Security Lock will
be activated. This is made like this to prevent faulty operations to be executed because
someone accidentally touches surface of monitor screen ( if its a Touch-Screen )
or the Left Key on trackball. Security Lock will be presented on monitor picture as a red hand
in the upper right corner. As long as this image is visible its not possible to execute any other
operation from neither touch-screen nor trackball than just unlocking the system. You can still
move cursor around, but trying to execute some kind of operation by clicking on one of the
images on the picture will not have any effect.
Illustration to the left shows how it looks

like when Security Lock is activated.
Unlock like this :

Place cursor on Red Hand and click on it.
Red Hand will now move to left upper
corner.
Now complete the unlock operation by
placing cursor on the left Red Hand and
click on it.
The left Red Hand disappears, and
system is ready for use.
Hint : placing Cursor & Click
See section 3.1 / 3.2 to brush up on how to move cursor
around on monitor pictures and activating operations by
clicking on picture images.
Thinking its mucky to need to click on two Red Hands ?
Click on the first one as soon as it appears.
Then just one click on the left Red Hand is needed to get
you online !
However, take care; youve already lowered the security
precautions.

Automatic Operations
4.2.1 Preparing Automatic Operations

This section will explain briefly what to be done before winch operations are executed.
Before starting any pumps, one should always make sure that brakes are engaged,
and that there are no open valves, filters etc due to maintenance work or other, and that all
personnel are alarmed against the danger of getting injured in chains, wires etc. because of
winches is now being used. Further information is to be found in Users Instructions for
Remote Control. Take special notice of all procedures concerning safety of crew and craft.
Be aware that there are certain restrictions attended with accessibility to automatic operations.
Detailed explanations about this are to be found in document section
describing the topical operation.
Do also pay attention to the limits for wire lengths possibly needed to be adjusted.
Select monitor picture PARAMETER to get access to these settings.
These parameters should always be checked before starting any automatic function.
All automatic operations may at any time be stopped

by clicking on MANUAL-button.
Hint : Auto/Manual-limit

Please observe that indicator on MANUAL-button is green when this mode is selected,
while indicator on Auto-buttons is red. This is not because automatic operations are to be
considered as dangerous, but still a reminder is given so that operator shall not forget that
winch may suddenly rotate without him having even touched the speed control lever.
All automatic operations may at any time be stopped by clicking on MANUALbutton.
In this part of manual adjustments of the pressure limits is essential. Please find more
information about use of the limits in the following examples. Illustration beneath indicates
adjustment of Pmax.
Click the UP-arrow-button on the right side of the circular Pressure Instrument to
decrease Pmax One click will decrease the value by one bar. As this is done the uppermost
part of the scale ,in red colour, will grove correspondingly . To increase the limit value (=
decrease the red scale area) just click on the DOWN-arrow-button.
In the opposite way clicking on the UP-arrow for Pmin will increase the Pmin limit.
Common for Pmin and Pmax is that clicking the UP-arrow will make the yellow (or red)
area grow bigger and clicking on the DOWN-arrow will make the same areas of scale
smaller.
Adjusting Towing Pressure is done simply by clicking the +/- buttons. Towing Pressure is
indicated on scale as a black dot.
Notice that a digital value

according to the limit will
appear as the limit is being
adjusted. After a short while
without changes the digital
value will disappear.

4.2.2 Automatic Pay-Out

Automatic Pay-Out is introduced to take off the winch operators hands the unpleasant job of
lowering maybe several hundred metres of wire. This might of course be done in the
traditional, manual way but why not let TOWCON take care of it ?
Remember that to get access to this function, wire must on beforehand be paid out to a length
at least equal to whats set as Auto / Manual Limit for the current drum.
Please study both the example below and the frequently asked questions on next page.
Example :
Vessel is to pay out 700m of wire.
Auto/Manual limit is set to 140m.
Length = 150
Winch operator manually pays out 150m by lowering with

speed control to get clear off the Manual/Auto Limit. Then he
lets go off the speed control lever and turns his attention to the
TOWCON monitor. First of all he takes a look at the present
motor pressure and estimates how the pressure limits should
be adjusted. He adjust tension controller firmly counter-clock
until winch starts rendering. The pressure is then about 22 Bar,
and he adjusts tension controller to maximum.
Check rendering pressure
Knowing that the winch will get increased rendering force as

wire is paid out, he adjust Pay-Out pressure P-min a little
lower than this; at about 18 Bar.
When TOWCON has finished the automatic pay-out itll swap
to the automatic function Towing. As wire length is increasing
to the Brake Length Limit; TOWCON will prepare stopping
the pay-out at the exact wanted towing length. During the last
part of the pay-out TOWCON will gradual increase pressure to
Towing Pressure. Winch operator has to estimate how much
pressure the motors will need to hold the load without
rendering. He estimates this to be about 24 Bar, and adjusts
this on the tension meter on monitor screen.
Adjust wanted
Towing Length Before activating Pay-Out hell have to tell TOWCON the new
wanted Towing Length. This is done by adjustment on the
700 m
length bar graph on monitor screen.
Adjust Pay-Out pressure,

Pmin
Adjust Towing Pressure
Now everything is prepared, and winch operator starts the

automatic pay-out by clicking the PAY-OUT button.
Observe :
Operator may at any time stop the automatic function,
simply by clicking on MANUAL.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS : AUTOMATIC PAY-OUT
Why am I not allowed to select PAY-OUT ?

Check actual wire length on length bar graph or digital display, and also what is set as
Manual/Auto Limit on the monitor picture PARAMETERS. If the actual displayed wire length is
shorter than Manual/Auto Limit youll be denied selecting automatic PAY-OUT.
Please re-adjust Auto/Manual Limit or manually pay out more wire.
Why does the winch stop so often during automatic PAY-OUT ?
You may have adjusted Pay-Out Pressure too low. If this is so, winch will render too rapid, and the
maximum limit for motor revolution may have been exceeded. In this case TOWCON will take
action by activating the Overspeed Protection.
Check/adjust Pay-Out Pressure.
Why isnt TOWCON able to stop at the length, and winch continues to pay out ?
You may have adjusted Towing Pressure too low, and if also maximum allowed pressure Pmax is too
low, winch dont have enough power to pull in.
Check/adjust Towing Pressure and Pmax.

4.2.3 Automatic Dynamic Towing

In section 4.1.5 is described the advantages of dynamic towing compared to towing with
brake engaged. However, the winch operator doesnt have to look after the towing length
himself as he has TOWCON. By giving TOWCON the right instructions itll do the job for
him.
On a set limit the system itself will start hoisting until wire length once more is at the
requested value. Like as for the automatic function PAY-OUT the automatic TOWINGfunction is not either accessible unless wire length is at minimum equal to the Manual / Auto
Limit. As already mentioned in previous section, TOWCON may have swapped to automatic
TOWING because automatic payout has just been completed. However it is also possible to
select TOWING if system is in MANUAL-mode, the only condition is that wire length
must not exceed last adjusted Towing Length plus last adjusted Tow/Hoist Limit.
Please study both the example below and the frequently asked questions on next page.
Example :
Vessel is to tow a barge for several hours.
Distance between vessel and barge is not allowed to exceed 400m.
Winch operator manually pays out 350m by lowering with speed control.. Then he lets go off the
speed control lever and turns his attention to the TOWCON monitor. First of all he takes a look
at the present motor pressure and estimates how the pressure should be adjusted. He wants a
smooth towing operation, but at the same time he dont want the winch to render too rapidly. In
our example winch renders continuously when pressure is about 25 bar, so he reckons 30 bar to
be a suitable towing pressure. Hell also have to estimate how high pressure the motors will need
to pull in wire. To be sure the winch has enough power for hoisting, he sets the maximum
allowed pressure to 35 bar.
Actual pressure = 27 Bar
After having adjusted the tension controller, he decides to let TOWCON take care of watching
the wire length.
On the Length Bar Graph he adjusts the Towing Length to 350m.
Then he selects the monitor picture PARAMETERS, and adjusts the parameter Tow/Hoist Limit
to 45m before swapping back to the monitor picture for towing drum. Now he clicks on the
TOWING-button and TOWCON takes the job watching the wire length off his hands.
When winch has rendered until wirelength has exceeded
Towing Length ( 350m ) + Tow/Hoist Limit ( 45m ) = 395m, TOWCON takes action.
Manoeuvre valves on hydraulic motors will be adjusted to hoist position and tension is at the
same time adjusted to maximum allowed pressure Pmax. Then winch will hoist until wire length
is back on towing length. At correct length winch stops and tension is once more reduced to
towing pressure.
This sequences will be repeated again and again as necessary until operator decides to stop the
automatic towing.

Pmax is too low, winch dont have enough power to pull in.
Check/adjust Towing Pressure and Pmax.
Why does the winch so often pull in during automatic TOWING ?
You may have adjusted Towing Pressure too low. If this is so, winch will render too rapid,
and the allowed limit is soon exceeded. You may also have adjusted the Towing Limit too
short.
If this is the case the allowed length limit will also be too soon exceeded, and the winch will

4.2.4 Automatic Hoist

In other sections of this manual are described the great advantages TOWCON can offer
during towing and anchor-handling operations. Not mentioned in any other section is the
possibility of getting help when wire is to be pulled in. In fact, TOWCON can take care of the
hoisting operation on its own. Just tell the system what the new length should be, click the
HOIST-button and consider the job as done. Notice that theres still a certain limitation:
you are not allowed to let the system hoist automatically unless theres more than 100 metres
of wire remaining to be pulled in. System will stop hoisting when the Auto/Manual Limit is
reached;
and its not possible to adjust this limit to values lower than 100 m. In fact the automatic hoist
operation will always be stopped at the Auto/Manual Limit, so you may stop at any length you
wish, just by adjusting this limit.
Please study section 4.1 to learn more about limits- and parameter-settings.
Example :
Vessel has paid out a lot of wire during a towing operation, and all
this wire must now be spooled back on drum.
The present wire length is almost 2400 metres. Brake is not
engaged, and pressure in hydraulic motors is about 28 Bar.
Winch operator considers the spooling of wire to be the main thing
to concentrate on rather than holding the speed controller in hoistposition, so he decides to let TOWCON take care of the pull-in.
Anyway, he wants to take full control of all winch operations when
theres less than
250 metres left to be pulled in.
Pressure is about 28 Bar
Knowing that the winch will need more pressure to pull in the
same load as the drum is filled with wire, he adjusts the maximum
allowed pressure Pmax high enough to compensate for this. He
estimates that 35 Bars should do.
After having adjusted the hoisting pressure, he select the picture
PARAMETERS on monitor, and adjust the setting of Auto/Manual
Limit to 250 metres.
Length is almost
2400 metres as
HOIST is selected
Now he once more selects the Towing-Drum picture on monitor,

and clicks on the HOIST-button.
TOWCON now adjusts pressure regulation valves to let pressure
increase to maximum allowed, which operator decided to be 35
Bar, firmly adjusts manoeuvre-valves on winch motors to hoistposition and the pull-in operation has started.
Maximum pressure Pmax

must be adjusted to secure
enough pull-in force
When length of wire remaining to be pulled in is only 250 metres,

TOWCON stops the winch, and system swaps to MANUALmode.

4.2.5 Adjusting PARAMETERS for automatic functions

In prior sections in this part of reference guide are described the use of some parameters that
TOWCON will need to do a proper job. This section will explain more in detail what these
parameters are used for, and hints of how they should be adjusted.
Auto / Manual limit:
This is a wire length that TOWCON will use to decide if its legal to choose an automatic
function or not. Value is to be entered in metres. If the limit is adjusted to high, itll exclude
all auto-functions. The limit is meant to stop hoisting automatically the last few metres of
wire, as well as preventing automatic pay-out to be started by an accident when theres
possibly wire handling work carried out on deck. But even though the limit is meant to secure
that there must be a human controlling the winch when end of wire is onboard or very near to
the vessel, it may even be used to lock all access to automatic functions completely. Its not
possibly to adjust this limit to values lower than 100 metres.
Pay-out brake length:
This parameter decides how firmly the winch will stop when wire is paid out to a certain
length automatically by the PAY-OUT function. Value is to be entered in metres.
A long braking length will give a very firm stop, but itll take some more time. Too short
braking length may however give a rather brutal stop, especially if pay-out speed is high.
TOWCON will use the braking length to increase pressure from being the pay-out pressure
Pmin to being the on beforehand-adjusted Towing Pressure. Adjustment of this value must be
based on experience and skills of the crew.
Tow / Hoist limit:
This parameter is only used during automatic TOWING. Parameter is to be entered in
metres and is used to describe how big deviation is tolerated to the wanted towing length
unless it has to be corrected. As soon as deviation to Towing Length exceeds this limit,
TOWCON will try to pull in wire to get length back on wanted value.
Adjusting this limit to very small values will make the winch keep the length very tight up to
the wanted Towing Length, but at the same time thisll also make the towing operation a lot
more noisy as the winch will start and stop very often. Of cause this depends on both weather
conditions and wire tension as well as other circumstances. Again, it must be said that
adjustment of this value should be based on experience and skills of the crew.
Hint : Pop-Up-menu & Keypad
Find more about how to adjust values/
parameters by use of the keypad
in section 3.3.8
Notice that on this example illustration
the Auto / Man limit is adjusted to
minimum possible value. If you adjust a
lower value and click on enter, the
value will change to 100m as soon as the
keypad disappears.

Using Cable Lifters

When handling rig-chain TOWCON will give almost the same advantages as described for
dealing with wire operations, although not all topics mentioned are equally relevant.
However the monitoring functions like length, tension, motor pressure and so on are available
just like they are when dealing with wire. All alarm limits may also be adjusted like described
earlier in this reference guide. Just remember to click the CABLE LIFTER-button, and
dont forget to choose the right pitch diameter and to reset the length. Do also remember that
when using cable lifters there are certain load limitations that must not be exceeded !
Please study the Users Instructions for Remote Control and/or information board in
wheelhouse for further details.
Example 1 :
Vessel is to pull in a 100 mm rig chain. Its essential to know how much chain thats being
pulled in. Cable Lifter is already mounted on Stb Common-handling drum and the first few
links has been pulled in.
Before starting to pull in and meassure the rig chain operatorll have to choose the rigth pitch
diameter and enter this in the parameter settings for the topical winch.
First of all the winch operator selects the monitor picture for Stb CH Drum and clicks on the
CAB-button. Then he selects the monitor picture PARAMETERS to adjust the pitch
diameter. He finds the pitch diameter in the table on the Rig Chain Data-panel, and enters
this into the Cable lifter diam-box belonging to the Stb CH Winch. Next step is to enter 0
(zero) in the Wire Length box and in the Wire Length Out box. Then RESET
LENGTH must be clicked to tell TOWCON to start using the new values.
( Wire diameter will now not be used, so whats ever displayed in this box doesnt matter )
Select CAB
( cable lifter ).

When this is done hell have to estimate

How nuch chain has already been pulled
in. The first few chain links has just
reached the bottom of the chain locker,
and he reckons the length to be about 15m
from there and through the chain pipes to
the cable lifter. He makes a note of this to
have it available later on

During this measuring period therell be no visible
changes on the Length Bar, but in the digital display,
now related to chain length, therell be a (minus) in
front of the digits.
When pull-in of chain stops, the digital display shows
345m.
Operator swaps to PARAMETER picture and re-adjusts the

Wire Length value and the Wire length out value.
To enter the correct length operator now has to add the first part
of chain ( 15m ) that were pulled in before measuring started.

on monitor screen will show how much chain is
paid out.
This is the reason why theres still no Length Bar
visible at once when the STB CH picture is
selected. Some chain will have to be paid out to get
something to display.

Example 2 :
Vessel is to pull in an anchor attached to a 100 mm rig chain.
Cable Lifter is mounted, correct pitch diameter is selected and length is reset
before starting to pull in. Some chain is pulled in when operation has to be
stopped.
Anchor is obviously stuck in something on sea bed. Brake is now engaged.
Winch operator is aware of the limitation on this special winch to be just 370
Tonnes when operating with this chain dimension.
To be on the safe side he wants an alarm if tension of any reason should approach
to even levels far beneath this. In fact he dont expect tension to exceed 250
tonnes, so he decides to adjust the tension alarm to just 230 tonnes.
If this limit is exceeded hell get an audible alarm as well as the Tension Bar
being red on his monitor picture.
Hint : Tension Alarm

See section 4.1.7 to brush up on how to adjust tension alarm.
See section 3.3.7 to refresh how you should operate sliders.
General when using Cable Lifter :

All limits related to length, RPM, tension, and pressure is applicable,
and may be used as explained in other sections of this reference guide.
Pay special attention to whats discussed in the section MANUAL OPERATION,
but dont forget that even Automatic Functions are available.
Special caution has to be performed if automatic functions are executed.
Tension alarm limit should be used consistently to give an alarm at a value safely below what is
described as maximum allowed for the topical cable lifter. Do remember that
when using cable lifters there are certain load limitations that must not be exceeded !

Yellow alarms are acknowledged by user but the situation is not resolved.
Gray alarms are acknowledged by the user and is no longer valid.
All alarms recorded and kept on the screen until they disappear at the bottom of the alarm
window.
In addition to the alarms mentioned in the following chapters a Towcon system may have
several customer specific alarms.
4.5.1 Alarm Reset button

By pressing the ALARM RESET button at the bottom right corner of the screen the user
resets the audible alarm ( if any ) and signals to the system that he is aware of the situation. if
alarm is still active ( Valid ) it will turn Yellow othervise it will turn Black.
In other words this button resets all current alarms.

The alarm lamp turns Red as soon as an alarm situation has occurred. And switches to Green
as soon as the operator have pressed the reset alarm button. This is basically to inform the
operator that there is an new alarmsituation that needs his attention.
4.5.3 Maxvalue logging

The system is also equipped with an internal logging system that keep track of the maximum
pressures ,speeds and temperatures of the systems winches. The last registered value is
visible in the four display windows ( one for each winch ) just below the alarmwindow.
4.5.4 Emergency stop
If one or more of the emergency stop switches has been pressed the system responds by
setting off both visual and audible alarm.
4.5.5 Overspeed
Indicates that a specific motor are running faster than its RPM limit, which is set at 100, 130,
150 or 245 RPM depending on the motortye used in the system. When trigged it gives a
visual warning as well as an audible alarm.
4.5.6 High oil temperature
Indicates that one or more of the oil temperature sensors are reading temperatures higher than
the oil temperature limit , which is fixed at 75 C. When trigged it gives both visual and
audible warning.
4.5.7 High oilpressure
If the oilpressure has exceeded the system pressure + 10% an alarm will be trigged. When
trigged it gives both visual and audible warning.
4.5.8
High Tension
The high tension alarm is activated if the tension exceeds the limit set in the tension bar.
4.5.9 Low pressure expansion system

Indicates that the pressure in the oil expansion tank has dropped below the set limit , and both
an visual and audible alarm is set off.
4.5.10 Low level expansion system
Indicates that the oil level in the expansion tank has sunken below the set limit , and both an
visual and audible alarm is set off.
4.5.11 Low brake pressure
This alarm is activated if the pressure in the servo unit goes below a certain value. Check the
servo unit and accumulators.
4.5.12 Rotating drum
This alarm is activated if the drum starts moving while the brake is activated.
4.5.13 Bitter end
Is active at all times and informs the operation that he is within a 100 meters from the end of
the wire, and is likely to loose it if he continues to pay out. The alarm is both visual and
audible.

4.5.14 Node nn lost

Informs the operator that the operator station has lost communication with one of the system
nodes ( distributed control units).
4.5.15 Bus warning
Informs the operator that there has been registered an abnormal amout of communication
errors.
4.5.16 Tension setpoint alarm
Informs the operator that the tension is close to the tension setpoint alarm limit. The alarm
limit may be adjusted to 50% - 150% of adjusted tension.
Ex.
Alarm limit set to 90% and tension adjusted to 100 tonnes will trigger the alarm at 90 tonnes.
The alarm limit will automatically adjust it self to different tension settings.

OPTIONS
The system can be delivered in several configurations and options.
5.1
Isolation Transformer
It is always wise to protect the electronics from noise, and one common source of such is the
ships mains supply. This noise usually appears as 'spikes' of high voltage, generated by large
inductive loads such as large motors - the hydraulic pumps for example. These 'spikes' may
cause electronics containing microprocessors to reset or in serious cases to halt completly.
The control unit is microprocessor based and is as such susceptibel to this kind of noise.
5.2
Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)

In more critical systems one may wish to ensure that the system is functional even during a
blackout situation, and then the solution is an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). These
supplies will during normal operation constantly charge its batteries, which is contained
within the unit itself, and when the ships mains power fails use these to generate power for
the control unit. Depending on load the UPS will be able to deliver for 15 - 30 minutes, and
that should in most cases be sufficient to secure the equipment and halt the system in a
controlled manner. The UPS will also protect the system from noise pulses in the line.
5.3
Slave monitor
The slave monitor produces an duplicate of the main monitor picture and has the same
functionality. I is intended used where there is need for a second operator station with the
possibilities for changing parameters and selecting pictures. The slave unit may be placed as
far as 30 meters (cord length) from the main control. In a system with slave monitor both
master and slave have the same priority, so if someone presses a button at a slave the system
it will react as if it came from the main unit.
5.4
Additional workstations
In one system there may be as many as 8 workstations , and each is totally independent from
the others, which is the difference between a workstation and a slave monitor even if they
looks the same from the outside. The difference is that a workstation has its own separate
control computer , a slave monitor has not it simply uses the same computer as the main

monitorb. In addition a workstation may be connected at any point on the communication

network (max 500m total network length).
If there is a need for displaying different pictures at different monitors at the same time, an
additional workstation is needed , not an slave monitor.

Preparing operation.
Before starting any pumps, one should always make sure that brakes are engaged, and that there are no
open valves, filters etc due to maintenance work or other, and that all personnel are alarmed against
the danger of getting injured in chains, wires etc. because of winches is now being used.
Start of Pumps.
Before starting any pump or servo unit, make sure that no work is being carried out on winch motors,
pipes, valves or other part of the hydraulic systems!
All hydraulic pumps and servo units may be started and stopped by switches on starter cabinets, but
normal operation is remote controlled from bridge, by use of Touch Screen on monitor included in the
TOWCON NT Monitoring & Control System. Please study instruction for operating as described in
manual 815-015.
Release Brake.
This vessel has got Band Brakes on the A.H. Drum and the Towing Drum that may be remote operated
from the Main Control Panel. These brakes may also be manually operated at the winch, but that
opportunity is normally not used under ordinary circumstances. Please study instructions for emergency
use of brakes on the name plate on Emergency Brake Pump on winch. In case of leakage in servo pipes
brakes on Tow/AH Winches will be engaged by a accumulator on the Emergency Brake Unit, securing a
minimum of brake force.
Please spend some time to study how the emergency systems works before releasing brakes by use of
remote control. Before releasing any brake, be sure about the precautions mentioned in chapter 1
concerning security of crew is carried out.

Releasing or Engaging a brake is controlled by a set of selector switch with attached control lamps, one
set for each drum. Release brake by turning the selector to position Brake Off. The green lamp above the
selector will now start blinking, and after a few seconds it will light continuously to indicate that the
brake now is completely released.
When engaging the brake again, turn the selector to position Brake On.
Continuous light appears in control lamp Brake On indicating engaged brake.
NOTICE !
It is inadvisable to release brake when drum is not connected to motor unit !
CAUTION !
Do always evaluate load on winch before releasing brake !
Long Time Towing.
This vessel may from time to time use one of the main winches only for holding the load/tow tensioned
without rotating, and with brakes engaged. In this occasions it would be convenient to stop the servo
pump to prevent the servo oil getting overheated, save fuel and reduce noise. However, the brakes are
depending on continuously servo oil pressure, and because of a small leakage in valves etc the servo
pump would even in this occasions had to been started from time to time to maintain high enough
pressure. To make this start/stop sequence of servo automatic, the servo unit is equipped with facilities
to take care of this job of its own, if so is wanted.
The automatic start/stop function is called Long Time Towing, and is remote controlled from the Main
Control Panel on bridge. Look for the selector and control lamps marked Long Time Towing.
If the automatic function is wanted, turn the selector to position ON, and the lamp to the right will be
illuminated to indicate that the function is activated. Start and Stop of servo unit will be possible as
normal when Long Time Towing is activated, and the control lamp on the Control Panel will even
show when the automatic system is running the pump.

CAUTION !
When Long time Towing is active the servo unit will start automatically when pressure is below
limit for start, regardless of buttons pressed on screen or on control panel. Keep this in mind
when maintaining the servo system.
Limitation of Maximum Pull.
It is possible to control the power on the AH-Drum and Towing Drum by limiting the oil pressure in
their hydraulic motors. Pressure is controlled by Tension Control knob. To limit the pressure, turn the
knob counter-clock. To allow higher pressure, turn the knob clockwise. Maximum pressure is 45 Bar.
Please notice that you may not see the pressure increase on panel meters or bar graphs etc even if you
adjust the knob. This is so because the pressure will never exceed what is necessary to cope with the
present torque on hydraulic motors.
Please notice that it is necessary to have the Servo Pump in service to operate as described in this
chapter.

Connecting Drums to the Motor Units.
Select drums by operating selector switches on the Main Control Panel. There are two types of selector
switches, one for the port motor unit and one for the STB motor unit.
A.H. Drum Coupling - STB Motor Unit, and Tow Drum Couplings - Port Motor Unit
Selection is done by a rocker switch on the Main Control Panel.
Operate by switching the selector to wanted position.
When the coupling position selector is turned, one of the adjacent control lamps will start blinking.
When the coupling is in right position, the control lamp will light continuously.

Double Drive Coupling

The operator may choose to use both motor units on the same drum, giving the drum double hoisting
power. Selection is done by a rocker switch on the Main Control Panel.
Operate by switching the selector to wanted position. When coupling position selector is turned, one of
the adjacent control lamps will start blinking. When the coupling is in right position, the control lamp
will light continuously. If of any reason one of the couplings should move from its decided position, the
control lamp will start blinking to alarm the operator.

Take precautions not to exceed specified max-load on cable lifters !
Rotate the Winch.
Its possible to remote control rotation of both the Towing Drum, the AH Drum, and the Secondary
Drums from bridge. Rotation may also be controlled by manual operation of the manoeuvre valves on
the winch motors, but normal operation is controlled by levers on the Control Panels on bridge.
To pay out, push lever firmly ahead. To haul in, pull lever firmly towards you.
Avoid too quick movements on control levers to minimize stress on generators, pipes, pumps and other
hydraulic equipment, and to make winch operations as little noisy as possible.
Releasing the lever will make the winch stop, as the lever automatically returns to stop position.
Please notice that it is necessary to have the Servo Pump in service to operate as described above.

Motor Modes: 1 Cell, 2 Cells or 3 Cells
Operator may select operation by use of all motor cells to get maximum pull,
or by closing one of them to get the advantage of increased rotation speed.
Selection is possible by operating switch on control panel on bridge.
System will automatically select 3 Cells when power on.
System will select use of motor cells according to operators request and what is allowed pressure, and
will not accept commands that may result in uncontrolled pay out because of winch not being capable of
holding load when one cell is closed. This is secured by the system evaluating measured pressure and
comparing this to what the winch will be capable of holding if one motor cell is closed.
If selected mode is not available, the indication lamp for this mode will be blinking.
System will not close the motor cell unless pressure is safe, and tension controller is adjusted to max
, but as soon as these tests are OK, the system will change to selected mode. System will not swap to
another cell-mode unless this is indicated by user operating the selector switch. System will not take
in use closed motor-cell automatically to prevent pay-out because of pressure exceeding max pressure
adjusted on safety valves. In case of uncontrolled pay out when operating on 1 cell, operator should
select 2 Motor Mode. This may be done at any time, regardless oil pressure and adjustment of tension
control knob.

Command Change - Bridge and deck.
Some remote control functions, such as hoist/lowering and spooling, may also be carried out by use of
portable controllers operated on deck, where view to whats going on normally is much better than from
the wheelhouse. It is always officers on bridge that has the opportunity to allow crew on deck to operate
the winches by use of the portable controllers and personal on bridge may at any time take over.
Assigning command is done by use of selector switch on control panel on bridge, but the portable unit
will not be in service before the crew on deck has activated it according to a special procedure. Until
this is done, bridge is still in command.
Please study special User Instruction for Portable Controller to get full details.

Tooth wheel Lubrication
This vessel is supplied with a lubrication system for the tooth wheels on the AH- and Towing Drums
and one for the tooth weels on the Secondary Drums. Even though this system is automatic it is
necessary to check the amount of grease on the wheels before every winch operation. This must be done
by manual inspection because the system has no sensors that can verify that grease is in fact applied to
the wheels and is not squeezed out through a damaged pipe, or that something else has made the system
failing. There are inspection lids on all gear covers.
If inspection unveils lack of grease, extra lubrication must be supplied by manual override of the
automatic function. Push the Force Lubrication button on the control panel. Grease will now be
supplied continuously until drum has rotated one turn. The Force Lub.-button will now be blinking to
remind operator that this function is activated. The Force Lubrication period can not be interrupted
from the remote control, but the function will be aborted if drum is stopped. The control lamp on panel
will be shut off immediately if the period is ended or the function of any reason is aborted.
The lamp Lubr. Now will be lit when grease is applied to one of the wheels. Please observe this
control lamp during winch operation to be sure that system is in order. If one of the drums is rotating for
longer periods without this lamp being lit there is reason to suspect that there is a malfunction in the
lubrication system, and tooth wheels must immediately be inspected.
The lamp Low Grease Level will be lit if grease level in reservoir get low. Action must immediately
be taken to refill the tank or unveil any fault in the system.

hand. Do remember to start Spooling Servo Unit.
Make spooling device move to stb by pressing the left push button at the front of the joystick head, or
use the right button to make it move in port direction.
Spooling rollers may be separated to let bigger attachments let through by pressing the left button at the
rear side of the joysticks head simultaneously with either the Stb-button or the Port-button. Opening is
done by moving stb roller to stb direction or port roller to port direction one at a time. The right sidebutton is pressed simultaneously with either the Stb-button or the Port-button to close spooling device.
Also when closing the device, the rollers is moved one at a time. Observe that spooling device may not
be opened to maximum distance between rollers if device is to near end position. In that case move
device a little to centre before making a new attempt to gain maximum opening once more.

Emergency Stop.
If something unexpected or dangerous should occur, demanding the winches to be stopped immediately,
there is an Emergency Stop Switch on the Control Panel on bridge. There is also one of these switches
placed on a small junction box on a convenient place on deck. Please make sure that the crew is
informed about where they are placed before any winch operations are started.

Pushing down one of these switches will stop the Servo
Unit and all Main Pumps, make the manoeuvre valves
on winches go to Stop Position, and engage all remote
controlled brakes.

Emergency Release.
If something unexpected or dangerous should occur, demanding the winches to release the load
immediately, there is an Emergency Release Switch on the Control Panel on bridge. There is also one
switch placed on deck. Please make sure that the crew is informed about where they are placed before
any winch operations are started. One should however be ware of the rather serious consequences using
this switches may cause to ship, crew and equipment; and because of this the switches are also protected
against being pushed down by accidents. Pushing down one of these switches will cause brakes being
only smoothly engaged, with a rather weak force, just enough to prevent uncontrolled rotation on
drum resulting wire injury.
Illustration only !
NOTICE !
Observe that pulling up again the activated switch will make
the brake be engaged (if it was engaged when the Emergency
Release was activated). If so is done while there is load in wire
this may cause serious damages to winch equipment, towing
wire, ship, and even expose crew members to great danger.

equipment and crew. Check power supply for PLC, and that the relay marked K8 on Bridge Panel
Interface is activated. Youll need the Circuit Diagrams to examine this properly. Please look in the
Instruction Book to find these, normally in the last section of chapter 6.
If power supply seems to be OK, try turning key on CPU-unit from position RUN to position STOP
and wait a few seconds before switching back to RUN; this should restart the CPU.
If no fault is found, please contact RRM Deck Machinery, Service Dep.
PLC Slave Failed
If this lamp is lit there is a fault in the remote control system, and one of the cabinets included in the
system has lost contact with the master PLC that is to be found under the Control Panel inside the
control desk. Stop all winch operations and engage all brakes manually to secure equipment and crew.
Contact RRM Deck Machinery, Service Dep.
Clogged Oil Filter, Hydraulic System
If lamp is lit oil filter for the filter pump must be checked. Clogged filter will reduce efficiency of the
oil filtering system and may also lead to overload on electric motor on filter pump. Filter should be
replaced at regular intervals, and immediately if lamp lights up.
Low Level Servo system
If lamp is lit oil level on servo unit must be checked immediately! Servo unit should be stopped, in case
of a leakage. Manual inspection of level in oil tank is first action to be taken. If this is found to be OK,
check oil level switch for possible malfunction.
If no faults are found, please contact RRM Deck Machinery, Service Dep.

General :
All alarm lamps are red, and they will be blinking in case of an alarm situation. Light intensity on
alarm lamps can not be reduced by the Panel Illumination Dimmer.

Overspeed Protection.
If the Remote Control detects motor rotation speed on a winch above the maximum allowed limit, the
hydraulic pressure in the winch motor will automatically be increased to maximum to try to slow down
the pay-out speed. At the same time the Speed Control will adjust manoeuvre valves on the topical
motor units to Stop-Position. If this is not enough to get the pay-out under control the brake on the
winch will be engaged, until the RPM is under the preset limit. If this happens one should increase the
motor pressure a little next time when similar operations is to be carried out, to prevent damages on
winch motors caused by too high revolution speed.
Overspeed protection is only applicable for AH- and Towing- Winches.

Lubrication instruction for open gears with Klber lubricant:

It is of highly importance that the personnel installing and operating
the winch reads and follows this instruction carefully.
The gears must be inspected before, during and after each anchor
handling or towing operation to ensure that they are sufficiently
lubricated. In case of automatic lubrication system, the functionality
must be frequently tested. Wrong lubrication procedure or failure in
the automatic lubrication system will lead to sever gear damage.

Chapter 1:
Preservation at winch factory and installation at yard:
1.1
All tooth flanks are washed and covered by 50 micron of Primer
Interzink 72 and 120 micron of Klbertop KB 118 when they are
delivered from the winch factory. This will give sufficient
preservation for the gears for an installation period of six months.
For longer storage period than six months, please contact Rolls-Royce
Marine, Dep.: Deck Machinery - Brattvaag for long time preservation
procedure.
1.2
Those areas, which need to be cleaned for alignment checks during
installation, must be repainted with Klbertop KB 118 to avoid
corrosion.
1.3
After installation and before the winch is rotated and lubricated, the
gear covers must be removed. All tooth flanks shall be carefully
cleaned to remove any contamination. The Klbertop KB 118 does
not need to be removed. However, if there is the slightest doubt about
cleanness, the Klbertop KB 118 has also to be removed.
1.4
Do not run the winch under load with Klbertop KB 118 only, or
without lubricant at all.

Chapter 2:
Running in period:
2.1
To smooth out the tooth surfaces after machining, the gears have to go
through a running in period. Grafloscon B-SG 00 Ultra has the
characteristic to polish the teeth and improve the contact ratio for the
engagements.
2.2
Grafloscon B-SG 00 Ultra is soft and needs to be applied continuously
during the running in period. We recommend applying the lubricant
by a spray gun for manual lubricated winches. For automatic
lubricated winches, make sure that the lubrication system is adjusted
to give correct quantity. Do not use Grafloscon B-SG 00 Ultra to
other purposes than gear wheel lubrication.
2.3
For running in lubrication, apply the type of lubricant and at least the
quantity stated in table and calculation below:

+30 oC: Quantity = 35 x 0,060 = 2.10 cm3/min
2.4
It is of highly importance to check the gear to verify that the lubricant
covers the gear flanks completely.
2.5
If the winch has been out of operation for some time, the gears have to
be re-lubricated before continuing.
2.6
If the winch shall be parked for a longer period, the gears have to be
properly lubricated to avoid corrosion.
2.7
During the running in period, the gears have to be checked before and
after each job to make sure that the process is working well. The
surfaces shall get smoother and the contact area increase.
2.8
In this period, small damages might appear because the contact ratio is
not yet fully developed. Pay special attention to the tooth tops. A
sharp edge might develop. The edge can cause damage to the gears.
If damages are found, observe them. In case they grow in size, please
contact Rolls-Royce Marine, Dep.: Deck Machinery - Brattvaag for
consultance.

For the first 20 working hours, it is recommended to run the winch
with reduced loads. The running in period is normally completed after
100 working hours. The tooth surfaces shall be checked to verify that
it has been smoothen out as intended. If not, the running in period
shall be extended.

3.2
For manual lubricated winches, we recommend to apply the lubricant
by use of a spray gun.
3.3
For automatic lubrication systems with spray nozzles, the spray
pattern must be frequently checked and nozzles adjusted to ensure that
the flanks are completely covered with lubricant. The spray pattern
can be checked by putting a paper on to a tooth before spraying.
3.4
For automatic lubrication system with lubrication wheels, the tooth
flanks must be checked to verify that a thin layer of lubricant covers
them.
3.5
IT IS THE CREWS RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE PROPER
LUBRICATION OF THE GEARS. MAKE FREQUENTLY
CHECKS TO MONITOR THE GEARS.
