On request, the system can be pre-configured ex works. Thus, the system is ready for
operation immediately after switching on, but this is only reasonable, if the exact adjustment
values are known (e. g. for spare-parts, as far as the adjustment values had been taken
down).
During programming, the target- and actual-value-positions of the controllers are co-ordinated
with eachother. For this purpose, the relevant limiting positions of the adjustable pitch
propeller have to be adjusted and the corresponding positions of the controllers have to be
stored durably. Please program as follows:
1.
Switch off power supply of the device. To activate the programming mode, terminals
37 and 38 of the unit, which is installed on the bridge, have to be connected over a
jumper.
2.
Now switch on again the power supply. The lamp “ready for operation” in the bridge
control unit should flash rapidly with two flashes per minute. This signalises the
activated programming mode.
3.
The selector switch for operation from the bridge control unit is now turned into
position “port” to adjust the first limiting position. “Port” is now the value for max.
negative propeller angle.
4.
Correspondingly, now the max. negative propeller angle is directly adjusted over
manual or emergency control of the bow thruster.
5.
Then, the target value controllers (joysticks) of all three control units are switched into
position „
max. negative propeller angle
“ (lowest position).
6.
After checking the three previous instructions again, now, the relevant controller
positions for this limiting position can be stored durably. For this purpose, the
takeover-button in the bridge control unit has to be pushed for app. 1 sec. After
disengaging this button, the lamp “ready for operation” shows permanent light for app.
2 sec. in order to acknowledge programming optically.
7.
For adjustment of the second limiting position, the selector switch for operation is
switched into position “starboard” (Stb. is now the value for max. positive propeller
angle).
8.
Now the max. positive propeller angle is adjusted over manual or emergency control.
9.
The controllers (joysticks) of the three control units are then adjusted into the
corresponding position “max. positive propeller angle” (highest position).
10.
The programming of this limiting position is now done as described under 6. (pushing
of the takeover-button for app. 1 sec.).
11.
Finally, the zero-position is adjusted. For this purpose, the selector switch for
operation is switched into position “bridge” (bridge is now the value for zero-position).
12.
Now, the zero-position (angle = zero) is adjusted over manual or emergency control.
13.
The potentiometers (joysticks) of the three control units are adjusted into positon
“angle zero”. While doing this, it has to be monitored, if the micro-switch “position
