The control unit shall be firmly fixed on a dry and easily
accessible location, e.g. inside of transom. Screws are
not included. Check that the distances from the control
unit to each of the interceptors are not too long, i.e. the
connecting cables are max 2.5 meters or 4 meters long
(8.3’ or 13.1’), depending on your choice.
Connect the 4-pole cables to the control unit.
See fig. 1,
2 and 19
. There are two versions of the control unit, one
for 1-pair of interceptors and one for 2-pairs of
interceptors. Each control unit is equipped with four 4-
pole sockets marked P2 (port 2), P1 (port 1), SB1
(starboard 1), SB2 (starboard 2), one 6-pole socket
marked AUX and one red cable () and one
black cable (marked -) for power supply. One pair of
interceptors: use P1 for the port interceptor and SB1 for
the starboard interceptor. Two pairs of interceptors: use
P1 and P2 for the two port interceptors and SB1 and SB2
for the starboard interceptors.

Install the control panel (B),
see fig. 1, 3 and 20
, easily
accessible at the helm station. Hole cutting is diameter
52 mm (2”).
See fig. 3.
Use the gasket, included in the
supply (
20 A
). For flush mounting of the panel, press the
center section out and use the rest of the gasket for
assembly
see fig. 20 B
. See also the hole template for
the control panel.
Install the 6-pole connection cable (E) fig. 1 between the
control unit (connector marked AUX) and the control pa-
nel.
Connect the control unit power supply cables to 12V or
24V DC (red cable to plus and black cable to minus).
Protect the installation by a 6-8A fuse on the plus cable.
See wiring diagrams fig. 23 and 24.
Connect the red plus cable from the control panel to the
start lock running position.
Note!
For Volvo Penta EVC EC engines, the red cable
must not be connected directly to the start key, but ins-
tead to the relay for external accessories.
Note!
Always
check with your engine supplier whether there are any
other recommendations or requirements that concern
the wiring to the start lock. Protect the installation by a 3-
8A fuse on the plus cable.
If more than one helm station is installed, only the main
station control panel (red cable) shall be connected to
the start lock or to the relay, as described above. For
mechanical governed engines as well as for Volvo
Penta EVC MC engines, see wiring diagram fig 23 and
for EVC EC engines, see wiring diagram fig 24.
If a suitable fuse box is not available in the boat, Volvo
Penta resetable 8A breaker, part No 966689, can be
used for protection of the installation.
See fig. 21
as well
as the section ”Component guide”.
System start up
Once the QL Boat Trim System is mechanically installed
and all electrical cables are connected, it’s time to carry
out the calibration of the system before the system can
be operated. This is done in order to determine the
blade position when fully retracted and fully out
respectively. The calibration is performed as follows:
1.
Turn on the main switch.
2.
Press the upper and lower button on the control panel
simultaneously and keep them in.
3.
Turn the start key to running position (without starting the
engine).
4.
Wait minimum 10 sec. until the interceptor blades start to
move out and then release the panel buttons. The
blades may start moving before the 10 sec. have
passed, however the upper and lower buttons must still
be pressed down, until at least 10 sec. have passed.
5.
The blades will go fully out, stop and then retract fully.
Once this has be done in a proper way, the two upper
and two lower LEDS on the control panel will flash twice.
