Control System Operations Manual AGE Page 33 of 129
5. Normal Operation
5.1 Overview
The new Coral Sea control system has two possible methods of operation; these are manual mode and
automatic mode. In manual mode the controller requires that the operator activate the pumps by
turning the relative pump operator switches to the ‘Pump On’ position. If the user attempts to operate a
pump when it is determined by the control system as unsafe to do so, the controller will raise a
performance warning (See Performance Warning Messages) detailing the specific reason why the
requested pump cannot be started, it will also flash the appropriate pump control switch which is being
prevented from operating. The operator must correct the situation before attempting to run the pump
again. To request further attempts to run the pump simply turn the relative pump operator switch to
the ‘Off’ position, then back to the ‘Pump On’ position. If the problem has been rectified the pump will
start, if problems still persist further performance warning messages will be raised.
Once successful start up of all connected and enabled pumps has been completed by the operator, the
control system will attempt to automatically activate the connected system valves. If the connected
valves cannot be successfully activated the control system will raise performance warning messages
(See Performance Warning Messages), but will continue to hold the system in an operational state. In
the event of these types of failures manual actuation of the valves will be required.
5.2 Starting the System Manually
The Coral Sea has a variety of different pump configuration options available; therefore this manual
start up procedure will cover all available options. If your system does not have a discussed option
installed simply ignore the relative descriptions.
Before attempting a manual start up procedure it is important to check that all valves are in the correct
position as previously identified in the section titled, “System settings prior to attempting operation”.
Ensure that the main circuit breaker located in the top right corner of the control panel is in the ‘ON’
position and that the ‘Power On’ Indicator on the front of the control panel is illuminated.
Ensure that the E-Stop button is not pressed in. If the E-stop button is illuminated, the button is pressed
in, release it by turning the mushroom in a clockwise direction.
Ensure no alarms or faults are currently being indicated. If the alarm light is illuminated or flashing an
alarm or performance warning is present, accept or clear these alarms before attempting to proceed.
