(a) Visible and audible alarms must be installed at the pilothouse to indicate the following:
- (1) Loss of power for propulsion control.
- (2) Loss of power to the steering motor or for control of the main steering gear.
- (3) Engine-room fire.
- (4) High bilge-level.
- (5) Low lube-oil pressure for each main propulsion engine and each prime mover of a generator.
(6) For each main propulsion engine and each prime mover of a generator—
- (i) High lube-oil temperature; and
- (ii) High jacket-water temperature.
(7) For each reduction gear and each turbocharger with a pressurized oil system—
- (i) Low lube-oil pressure; and
- (ii) High lube-oil temperature.
- (8) Loss of normal power for the alarms listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(7) of this section.
(b) Sensors for the high-bilge-level alarm required by paragraph (a)(4) of this section must be installed in—
- (1) Each space below the deepest load waterline that contains pumps, motors, or electrical equipment; and
- (2) The compartment that contains the rudder post.
- (c) Centralized displays must be installed in the machinery spaces to allow rapid evaluation of each problem detected by the alarms required by paragraph (a) of this section. Equipment-mounted gauges or meters are acceptable for this purpose, if they are grouped at a central site.
