Product Details

1. Product Overview

The Kongsberg WCC 600 (part no. 373860) is a Watch Call Panel manufactured by Kongsberg Maritime AS of Norway, and is the core operator terminal in K-Chief 600/700 series marine automation systems and Unattended Machinery Space (UMS) systems, used for ship-wide indication of engine room alarms and acceptance/transfer of watch duty, as well as engineer watch management.

In unattended engine room operating mode, the engine room does not require personnel on duty 24 hours a day. Engine room equipment operating status and alarm information, after being acquired by the K-Chief automation system, need to be transmitted in real-time to the bridge, engineer duty cabins, and public areas, ensuring that duty personnel can promptly learn of alarms and take corresponding measures. The WCC 600 Watch Call Panel is precisely the key device undertaking this function. It presents engine room alarm information to duty personnel in an intuitive visual and audible manner, and provides an operation interface for watch duty transfer and acknowledgement.

The WCC 600 is equipped with a 5.7-inch LCD touchscreen, adopting a user-friendly and intuitive interface design, even ship personnel without professional training can easily operate it. The touchscreen supports alarm information display, menu navigation, parameter setting, watch duty operation, and other functions. When an alarm occurs in the system, the WCC 600 automatically triggers buzzer sound and visual indication (screen prompt and indicator light), and automatically switches to the Alarm Summary Page, presenting detailed alarm information to duty personnel, including alarm source, alarm time, alarm level, alarm description, etc. Alarms in the system can be grouped and configured according to customer requirements, facilitating classified management and quick location.

The WCC 600 supports multiple installation locations. According to different installation locations, its main functions also have different focuses:

Bridge Installation: The WCC 600 installed on the bridge mainly functions to indicate engine room alarms, as well as indicate and accept the transfer of engine room watch responsibility to and from the bridge. When the engine room is in unattended mode, bridge duty personnel monitor engine room alarm status through the WCC 600, and accept or transfer watch duty when needed.

Engineer Duty Cabin Installation: The WCC 600 installed in engineer duty cabins mainly functions to indicate engine room alarms in bridge control mode. When engineers are resting in the cabin, once an engine room alarm occurs, the WCC 600 wakes up the engineer through buzzer and screen prompt, enabling timely response.

Public Area Installation: The WCC 600 installed in public areas (such as mess room, corridor, changing room, etc.) is used to expand alarm coverage, ensuring that engineers can promptly learn of engine room alarm information regardless of their location on the ship.

The WCC 600 has comprehensive watch management functions, supporting indication and selection of two modes: "Attended Engine Room" and "Unattended Engine Room". The system supports watch management for up to 8 engineers, can display current duty personnel, duty time, duty handover, and other information. The panel provides "Acknowledged from Cabin" indication function. When an engineer acknowledges an alarm in the cabin, other panels will display that the alarm has been acknowledged, avoiding multiple personnel responding repeatedly.

In terms of electrical performance, the WCC 600 adopts 18-32V DC wide voltage power supply (nominal 24V DC), adapting to ship power grid voltage fluctuations, power consumption only 5W, low heat generation, suitable for long-term continuous operation. Operating temperature range is -15°C to +70°C, storage temperature -25°C to +70°C, maximum relative humidity 96% (non-condensing), can operate stably in various ship environments. Panel weight approximately 1.1kg, compact structure, suitable for flush mounting or wall mounting.

The WCC 600, as a standard component of K-Chief 700 and K-Safe systems, has obtained Bureau Veritas (BV) Type Approval, and is certified by major classification societies such as DNV-GL, ABS, LR, etc. Widely used in unattended engine room watch calling systems on various commercial ships, offshore platforms, special vessels.
