15 System configuration in case of options
15.1 Commissioning of actuators for installations with Trim or Flap command option
Trim or flap options don’t require any programming on the actuator.
Trim and flap cables are reported from section 6.4 to section to 6.5 included.
Sections 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 depict the pin-out of the electronic PCBs which perform the trim/flap commands. Electrical in-
stallation schemes are at sections 8.2.7 and 8.2.8.
15.2 Commissioning of actuators for installations with Trolling option
The command station must be configured by setting dip-switch 2 to ON (see section 4.5 of this manual). The actuator
is specific for this type of system. For its programming, refer to the document “Trolling_Flap option for lever EC3 & EC4”.
15.3 Commissioning of the actuators with Neutral Relay option
The mechanical actuator can provide a no contact signal when the gearbox is in neutral. This signal, if properly used in
the engine starter safety chain, allows the start of the propulsion engine only in case the gearbox is in neutral position.
The neutral signal is given through a two pole wire, as depicted here below. The neutral relay is normally open and it clos-
es only in case the gearbox is in neutral and the actuator is properly supplied (if the actuator doesn’t receive the power
supply the relay is switched off and its contact is open).
The block diagram here below shows the safety chain:
