What to do if my Vetus EC3 Marine Equipment station doesn’t take the command?
If a Vetus Marine Equipment station doesn’t take the command, verify that the end-of-line resistance terminations have been activated.
Why is my Vetus Marine Equipment actuator moving without lever input?
If the command station is activated and, without moving the lever, the Vetus Marine Equipment actuator generates movements, changes speed, or activates the gear, it could be due to two command stations having the same CANBus address or the absence of the end-of-line bus termination.
How to troubleshoot a Vetus Marine Equipment motor that won’t accelerate?
If the motor doesn’t accelerate in installations with FPT motors, check the setting of the dip-switches on the CANBUS CONVERTER MODULE.
