The control panel on the ship should be installed in a convenient
location.
A plan of the ship's ro-ro cargo spaces, showing the location
of fans and openings, should be kept at the control panel. Each fan
should be given an individual designation.
Indications
as to which fans should be used for a given ro-ro cargo space under
various loading conditions should also be on display at the control
panel.
For safety reasons and to facilitate control of
the ventilation system, the control panel should include means of
indicating which fans are running.
The individual control
and indicator lights should be marked with the same designation as
the fans to which they relate.
As far as possible, indicator
lights and controls for fans that normally operate simultaneously
should be located in groups. This will help to make the function of
the controls readily apparent and will therefore facilitate correct
use of the controls.
Reference is made to the IMO Code
on Alarms and Indicators.
