FUNCTION TESTING
When installation and calibration are complete, it’s time
to test the system while the engine is running.
Ensure that all control levers are in neutral. Switch on
the Main pos.(+) and the Backup pos.(+). Start the
engine. LEDs on all controls should now be flashing
green. Push the button on the control to be activated.
The green LED will light solid.
You now control the transmission and throttle. The
green LED will go out approx. 5 seconds after the
transmission is engaged. If you revert to neutral, the
green LED will light solid as long as the control lever is
in neutral.
Testing throttle without transmission engaged
Push the button and hold it down. Move the lever
forward and release the button after 3 seconds. Now the
engine can be throttled without the transmission
engaged. (The green LED is flashing.) To engage the
transmission again, return the control lever to neutral,
whereafter the control returns to normal function.
Testing gear start block
Switch off the engine. Switch on the ignition. Activate the
control. Move the lever to forward gear. Try to start the
engine. This should not be possible, as the lever is in
gear position and the safety relay has cut the voltage to
the solenoid.
Testing operating station change underway
(changeover underway) if it is programmed
Example: the boat is running at half speed and you
want to move to a new operating station. With the lever
in neutral at the new station, push the button and hold it
down. Move the control lever slowly forward until the
green LED lights. Stop there and release the button.
This station is now operative.
WARNING!
When performing a changeover at speed, the
active operating position must not be left
unmanned.
User Instructions
Testing operating station change in neutral only
Put the lever in neutral on both controls. Press the
button for the control you wish to change to. This station
is now operative.
Setting throttle progression
There are 5 different throttle curves that can be selected
on the electronic unit (see diagram on page 9), depend-
ing on boat or engine type or driver preferences. 8.0 is a
direct and linear throttle movement; 8.1, 8.2, etc. have
different characteristics. To obtain the best curve, test
drive the boat to get the right feeling. The recommended
curve is 8.1. Open the program by pressing Enter and
(-) at the same time for 5 seconds. Then press Enter
repeatedly until 8.0 appears on the display. Change the
second figure by pressing (+) or (-) buttons until the
correct curve and figures are selected. Press Enter
three times. The setting is now stored.
Setting gear-shifting throttle delay
In principle, the control lever shifts from neutral immedi-
ately, without delay. If the reverse gear is slower, e.g.
approx. 3 seconds from when the gear arm has reached
its end position, A.7 is the correct value. A.7 means a
2.7-second delay before the throttle exceeds idle. This
is standard practice on larger commercial ships where
more than one captain is in command.
Should you want a throttle delay because the reverse
gear transmission is slow, to thus prevent damage to
the reverse gear, program the function as follows: open
the program by pressing Enter and (-) at the same time
for 5 seconds. Thereafter, press Enter until A.0 appears
on the display. Adjust the second figure by pressing the
(+) or (-) buttons until the correct figure and time are
obtained. See the table on page 9. Press Enter once.
The setting is now stored.
