PROPORTIONAL CONTROL PANELS
1. To activate the control station, press the on/off button (D). The active station indicator (E) will turn on to indicate that the control sta-
tion is active.
2. To run the truster(s), you can now move the joystick(s) (F) in the choosen direction. The joysticks will return to center position when
released.
3. For PRO panels only, you can also run the thruster(s) by twisting the knob (H) on the top of the joystick(s). The joystick will engage
more according to how much you twist the knob. The joystick will stay in this position until the knob is twisted back or the joystick is
forced back to center position. This feature will allow you to lock the thruster(s) in running position at any speed setting for continous
thrust.
4. Proportional control panels will allow you to regulate the speed of the thruster by how much the joystick(s) are engaged, the more
engagement the more thrust will be delivered by the thruster(s),
5. To stop the thruster(s) immediately in an emergency situation, press the red emergency stop button (A). The emergency stop indi-
cator (G) will turn on to confirm that the emergency stop button is enganged. When this emergency button is engaged, the hydraulic
system will go to safe mode. To deactive the emergency stop function, press the emergency stop button (A) on any control station. The
active emergency stop indicator (G) will turn off.
6. The hydraulic oil temperature indicator (B) and an audiable alarm will engage in a situation where the hydraulic oil temperature is
above 70°C.
High oil temperature will reduce the lifetime of the oil and in worst case scenario damage hydraulic components.
It is therefore important to find and eliminate the reason for the alarm. The alarm will stay active as long as the temperature is above
70°C. Pressing the red emergency stop button will stop the audible alarm, but the indicator (G) will stay active.
7. The hydraulic oil level indicator (C) and an audiable alarm will engage when the oil level is below recommended minimum level.
Running the hydraulic pump(s) dry, or with limited available oil flow, can damage the pump(s).
It is therefore important to find
and eliminate the reason for the alarm. The alarm will stay active as long as the oil level is low. Pressing the red emergency stop button
will stop the audible alarm, but the indicator (G) will stay active.
8. When using more than one control station, you will deactive all other control stations when activating a new control station, by pres-
sing the on/off button (D). The active station indicator (E) will turn on at the activated station, and turn off at all other stations.
9. To deactive a active control station, press the on/off button (D). The active station indicator (E) will turn off to indicate that the control
station is not active.
