Thruster
Thruster sensitivity
Determines how many degrees the vessel must deviate from the set
course before a thruster command is given. As the vessel deviates from its
heading, the thruster will push the vessel back. A higher value will reduce
the thruster activity and extend the lifetime, especially for on/off thrusters.
• Range: 0° - 30°
• Default: 1° for Analog thrusters, 3° for on/off thrusters
Thruster assist
Determines how the thrusters are used by the autopilot.
When set to ON, the thrusters will automatically be used by the autopilot system if the vessel
speed is below inhibited limit. If the vessel speed is above inhibited thruster speed the
thrusters will be turned off, but will automatically be turned on again when the speed gets
below the inhibited limit.
¼ Note: Thruster inhibit speed is set during installation and is the max vessel speed for which
the thruster is allowed to run.
When set to OFF, thruster has to be manually enabled.
• Range: ON/OFF
• Default: OFF
Push boat to
Allows the user to specify if the trusters should be used to push the vessel to one side only.
If no option is selected the thrusters will be used for both port and starboard course
deviations.
• Range: ON/OFF for Port and Starboard
• Default: OFF
