• Dynamic Positioning System (DPS)
Pressing and holding the “sel” button for 1s or more will (de)activate the “Dynamic Positioning
System” function, if your Dockmate has been configured with the Position Hold option.
On Volvo Penta joystick systems it will (de)activate DPS, provided the boat has the Dynamic
Positioning System installed.
On Mercury/Zeus Joystick Piloting 2 systems it will (de)activate Skyhook, provided the boat
has this feature installed.
Note that if the boat and/or Dockmate does not have the Volvo Penta DPS or Skyhook feature
installed, Dockmate will not be able to activate it and pressing this button will have no effect.
When DPS is activated, the “stat” LED will light blue , and blinks the entire time this function
is engaged. When the “sel” button is pressed for 1s or more again, it deactivates DPS, the
remote beeps twice, and the “stat” LED will stop blinking blue
Do
ckmate is not responsible for active movements made by the boat, while DPS is
activated. Your boat’s DPS is controlled by the host system (Volvo Penta EVC, Mercury
Joystick Piloting, …). Turning off your Dockmate remote does not (de)activate the DPS
system. Check your boat’s DPS operation manual, before using it.
