SECTION 4
ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE AUTO TAB CONTROL
The ATC system is activated by pressing the ON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds.
When the button is released, the red ON/OFF LED lights up indicating the unit
is operating. Once activated, the ATC continuously analyzes and calculates the
attitude of your boat and directs messages to operate the trim tabs.
The ATC continues to make corrections as necessary until deactivated.
The yellow LED “arrows” on the Keypad flash, indicating direction of trim tab
movement. Example: When the bottom direction arrow marked PORT TAB
flashes, the port trim tab is deflecting downward. Conversely, when the top
direction arrow flashes, the port trim tab is retracting. The same is true for the
starboard trim tab direction arrows.
When one or both of the ATC Keypad’s trim tab direction arrows remains in the
on mode, the ATC has determined one or more of the trim tabs has reached a
limit. Unit resumes operation once the boat’s attitude changes.
ONCE ACTIVATED, THE ATC SYSTEM ADJUSTS THE TRIM TABS
AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL YOU DEACTIVATE IT BY EITHER:
1. PRESSING THE ATC KEYPAD’S ON/OFF BUTTON (Recommended method)
2. PRESSING ANY POSITION OF THE TRIM TAB HELM CONTROL
OR
3. CUTTING THE POWER SOURCE TO THE ATC SYSTEM
