2.11 Control System’s Configurability
The Processor is designed in a way which allows it to be easily configured by the installer to meet the varying
needs of a wide variety of vessels. Below you will find a list and a brief description of the groups of these
functions.
2.11.1 Processor Functions
Within this section of adjustable parameters, there are up to five different adjustments:
• A0 Processor Identification
- Assigns each Processor in multi-screw application a unique
identifying number. This function must be the second function set during Set Up.
• A1 Number of Engines
- Lets the Processor know how many other Processors need to be
communicated with. This function must be the first function set during Set Up.
• A2 One Lever Operation
- Allows the installer to disable or enable One Lever Mode capability.
• A3 Station Expander
- Allows the Processor to communicate with the Station Expander (SE).
• A4 Neutral Indication Tone
- When turned ON, produces a short 200 Hz tone to indicate
Neutral.
Detail information on each function is found in Section 5.7.3.1: Basic Processor Troubleshooting
Functions.
2.11.2 Throttle Functions
2.11.2.1 Basic Throttle Functions
This section applicable to both electronic and servo Throttle adjustment:
• E1 Throttle in Neutral
- Adjusts the position of the Throttle while in Neutral
• E5 Throttle Pause following Shift
- Allows a pause prior to applying speed above Idle.
• E6 High Idle
- Programs a second elevated Idle RPM.
• E7 Synchronization
- Allows the installer to select synchronization and select the type of
synchronization.
Detail information on each function is found in Section 5.6.2.1: Throttle Basic Functions.
2.11.2.2 Servo Throttle Functions
This section along with Section 2.11.2.1: Basic Throttle Functions allows the adjustment of the Servo
Throttle:
• E0 Engine Throttle Profile
- Select whether the Throttle Servo pushes or pulls to increase
speed.
• E2 Throttle Minimum
- Once set mechanically at the Idle stop, this Function Code allows the
position of the push-pull cable to be adjusted electrically in order to eliminate “dead lever”.
Dead lever in this case can be described as a movement of the Control Head lever without a
change in the engine’s RPM.
• E3 Throttle Maximum
- Adjusts the position or amount of travel of the push-pull cable at Full
Throttle.
• E4 Throttle Maximum Astern
- Limits the amount of the Astern Throttle Servo movement.
Detail information on each function is found in Section 5.7.0.1: Throttle Servo Functions.
2.11.2.3 Electronic Throttle Functions
This section along with Section 2.11.2.1: Basic Throttle Functions allows the adjustment of the
Electronic Throttle:
• E0 Engine Throttle Profile
- Selects the type of Throttle Command signal.
• E2 Throttle Minimum
- Adjusts the Throttle Command signal at Idle.
• E3 Throttle Maximum
- Adjusts the Throttle Command signal at Full Throttle.
• E4 Throttle Maximum Astern
- Limits the amount of the Astern Throttle Command signal.
