The ELAS-5 electric shaft system combines telegraph and electric shaft functions, using stepper motors and CAN bus technology for improved flexibility and reduced installation time.
| Full function test of all control stations | each watch change or before departure, per company PMS |
|---|---|
| Calibration check of lever and feedback potentiometers | annually or per maker recommendation |
| Cable and connector inspection at each station | annually |
| Backup battery/UPS function test | annually, with battery renewal per the battery manufacturer's stated service life |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Lever position repeatability | electronic follow-up systems should track actual response within the tolerance stated in the system manual - a generic figure is not meaningful here, confirm against the manufacturer's commissioning data |
|---|---|
| Connector/contact resistance | any measurable rise from the as-installed baseline points to corrosion and should be investigated rather than compared to a single fixed number |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Note on this entry: the order data listed the category as 'Radar Level Gauge / Cargo Level & Temperature Gauging', but the actual product described (ELAS-5 electric shaft, telegraph system, CUBI(x), joystick, levers) is a bridge/engine-room propulsion and maneuvering control system, not a level gauging device. This entry has been written for the control system rather than the listed category. Propulsion control and telegraph systems are treated as continuous survey machinery; surveyors typically want to see a documented function/transfer test between all control positions and confirmation that emergency or local backup control works, carried out at each machinery survey.
Estimated lifetime: Electronic control and telegraph systems are not normally rated in running hours; service life is usually governed by electronic component obsolescence and cable condition, commonly on the order of 15-20 years before a full system renewal is considered - confirm current product support status with the maker
Listed in the DNV Approval Finder at the time we recorded it. The certificate is issued by DNV, not by us; check its current status at DNV.
