F. ACTUATOR OVER-AMPERAGE:
The Auto Glide constantly monitors the amp draw of each actuator in the trim tab system. In the event that an
actuator draws too much current and begins to malfunction, the Auto Glide will flash an ACTUATOR OVER-
AMPERAGE WARNING MESSAGE, default to LIMP HOME MODE and lockout the failed actuator in whichever
direction it was moving at the time of the failure (extending or retracting).
The ACTUATOR OVER-AMPERAGE message will indicate which actuator has failed and in which direction it
failed. Once the Auto Glide defaults to LIMP HOME MODE and locks out the failed actuator, you will not be able
to move it in the same direction that it was moving at the time of the failure. However, you will be able to move the
failed actuator in the opposite direction.
An example of an ACTUATOR OVER-AMPERAGE failure would be when the Auto Glide is attempting to extend
the trim tabs during an automatic boat control decision, but the starboard actuator fails due to high current draw.
The Auto Glide will flash an ACTUATOR OVER-AMPERAGE – SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING MESSAGE
,
default to LIMP HOME MODE and lock out the actuator from extending any further. You can manually retract the
failed actuator by pressing the corresponding UP BUTTON. The following illustration outlines this example:
