For vessel that comply with the European Marine Equipment
directive, one control unit must be set for Master operation, if
more than one control unit is connected. The other unit(s) is then
automatically set as a “slave”. The system can only be switched
off from the master unit (see also Operator Manual, Master
Operation).
If your system is to be wheelmarked you have to answer yes for
Master operation on one of the control units by rotating its
course knob. This applies only to commercial vessels classed to
follow the Marine Directive.
