The audible onboard alarm may be silenced by pressing the “SILENCE” 
control on the front panel of the Main Control Unit. THIS ACTION DOES 
NOT INDICATE THAT THE ISSUE CAUSING THE ELEVATED 
TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN FIXED.

If the shaft seal temperature remains above 50° C (122° F) the yellow 
LED(s) will continue to flash and the alarm will activate again. After 
resolving the issue causing the elevated temperature warning, the 
“NORMAL”green status LED(s) will illuminate.

Critical Alert State

A Critical Alert is indicated by the Red LED(s) flashing rapidly.  The 
audible alarm and external siren (if equipped) will sound with every flash. 
This indicates that the shaft seal temperature is above 70° C (158° F), 
and that ACTION MUST BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO RESOLVE THE 
PROBLEM. 

The Critical alert audible alarm and external siren may be silenced via the 
control on the Main Control Unit front panel. Once the problem has been 
solved and the shaft seal begins to cool down, the Warning State may 
temporarily occur. Once the shaft seal temperature goes below 50° C 
(122° F), the green LED(s) will illuminate and audible alarms will stop.

System Operation

There are three states of operation: “NORMAL, WARNING and CRITICAL” 
which are indicated by the LEDs on the front panels of each unit in 
operation. For twin engine configurations the Port and Starboard states are 
independent of each other such that one may be normal when the other 
indicates an overheating condition.

Normal Operation

Normal state is indicated by the Green LED(s) being illuminated when the 
engines are running. This indicates that the system is operating with the 
shaft seal temperature below 50° C (122° F).

Warning State

Warning State is indicated by the Yellow LED(s) flashing slowly (every 4 
to 5 seconds).  The audible alarm will sound with every flash. This 
indicates that the shaft seal temperature is above 50° C (122° F) but less 
than 70° C (158° F). 

Steady Green LEDs- indicate Normal Operation

Slowly Flashing Yellow LEDs with Alarm Sound- indicate WARNING condition
