CONTROLLER CALIBRATION
The main calibration is done in the factory.
Every time the system is switched on, it will perform a self-
diagnosis first. Follow these steps:
1. Put the Joystick in the neutral position.
2. Turn on the system with the motor switch.
The display lights up and the main relay in the motor
controller will close if everything is connected
correctly.
3. Move the joystick forward and backward to check the
system and the rotation of the propeller.
4. Check the system for unwanted noise and vibration.
CAUTION!
Steps 3 and 4 must be done carefully so that
the bearings of the shaft will not be damaged
in case the propeller shaft is not properly
lubricated.

5.10 COMMISSIONING
The factory settings of the Bellmarine Outboard propulsion
systems are optimal for most installations. For some
applications however, it is desirable to change these
settings. Therefore, several adjustments can be made.
If your the Bellmarine Outboard propulsion system is not
new, you have to take into account that previous users
may have changed the settings. Let a certified installer/
dealer set the the Bellmarine Outboard propulsion system
to your preferences in case of doubt.
To change the controller software settings, a computer or
laptop with Curtis 1314-4402 interface and software or the
Curtis 1311 Handheld Programmer can be used.
See figure 5-13. This 1311 Handheld Programmer
simplifies adjustments, programming, testing and
diagnosing. It provides a fast and easy interface to the
motor controller.
The connector for the computer or Handheld Programmer
can be found on the front of the motor controller, it is
marked [4]
. Please refer to the Curtis 1311 Handheld manual for
further operating instructions.
