Basic Propulsion Control System

General Description

The MPC-9H pneumatic panel is a compact and modular design that provides propulsion control for vessels with fixed pitch propellers, reversing gears and hydraulic clutches. The MPC panel contains all necessary logic, interlocks and timing to ensure that the engine and reverse gear operate properly, smoothly and safely. A pneumatic signal for operating a shaft brake is also provided.

A laminated manifold with air channels eliminates the need for piping between the individual valves. Installation is fast and simple. All valves are specifically designed for marine use. They are very high quality, rugged, proven, base mounted valves and can be removed for servicing without disconnecting any pipes.

All valves are first tested individually and then, as part of the MPC-9H control for operational performance before shipping. All timing and pressure settings are documented and extensive service information is available on all components.
