NUMBER OF
FLASHES
DESCRIPTION
NONE No fault detected.
1
High rising actuator absorption (retractable unit closing).
The signal is triggered after the system has made three attempts to rise in the presence of mechanical friction above the set
threshold. The problem can be caused by a foreign body entering the mechanism, the boat sailing at high speed, or mechanical
problems with the retractable thruster and its hatch.
2
Fuse open.
A current absorption greater than 10A has occurred. The problem may occur if there is a short circuit or overload on the actuator
power line. Check the wiring of the power lines from the board to the actuator or the absorption of the actuator itself.
3
Abnormal limit switch condition.
The problem is reported if the board detects a fault on the limit switches (both activated). Check the power line wiring from the
board to the limit switches and their operation.
4
Actuator control line interruption.
The problem is reported if the board detects an interruption in the actuator control power line. Check the wiring of the power
lines from the board to the actuator.
5
Actuator movement timeout tripped.
The problem is reported if the movement imparted to the actuator is not carried out within a period of 15 seconds.
6
Incorrect dip-switch conguration.
The problem is reported if the dip-switch positions are not set correctly.
7
High lowering actuator absorption (retractable unit opening).
The signal is triggered after the system has made three attempts to lower in the presence of a mechanical friction above the set
threshold. The problem can be caused by a foreign body entering the mechanism, the boat sailing at high speed, or mechanical
problems with the retractable thruster and its hatch.
8
High absorption of motor reversing contactor control output.
The problem is reported if the board detects a short circuit or overload on the motor control power line. Check the wiring of the
power lines from the board to the motor and the absorption of the reversing contactor/motor unit installed on the retractable
thruster.
9
Motor thermal cut-out tripped.
The problem is reported if the thermal cut-out of the motor has tripped.
Wait for it to cool down.
Interruption of motor reversing contactor control output connection.
The problem is reported if the board detects an interruption in the motor control power line.
Check the wiring of the power lines from the board to the reversing contactor/motor unit installed on the retractable thruster.
Below is the meaning of the light signals provided by the RTC R1 board (see electronic board on page 13).
