3.4. Synchro mode
It is possible to command both engines at the same speed and direction with only one lever. This function can
be activated only by the command station which has the command.
With both levers in neutral position, press at the same time for 1,5 seconds the two “engine” push-buttons. The
command of both engines is now on the right lever. In Synchro operation mode, the LEDs “Warm/Sync” and
“Command” are lighted on.
From “Synchro” operation mode, if you position both levers in neutral, and press contemporaneously for 1,5
seconds the two “Engine” push buttons, the command of each engine is again assigned to the respective lever
and LED “Warm/Sync” is switched off.
The same operation of synchronisation or de-synchronisation can be performed on the station which has the
command, in case the RPM between the two engines doesn’t differ more than 10%.
3.5. Fast Start-up Mode
This function is available on the first command station as described in section 7.6 of this manual. When the
configuration FSM (Fast Start-up Mode) is enabled, the command station with the FSM enabled takes
automatically the command at the power on, only if this command station is in neutral position.
If the command station is not in neutral position, the command station will take the command as soon the
neutral position will be reached.
3.6. Emergency lever
In case of emergency, the electronic system can be switched off quickly and the engines can be operated
directly with the mechanical emergency levers.
Emergency levers are fitted
on the control box. It is
sufficient to turn completely
on (clockwise) knob (A). After
this operation, the gearbox
can be operated manually
using levers (B) and with the
throttle set to minimum.
In order to reset the system,
unscrew completely (counter-
clockwise) knob (A). The
emergency
lever
automatically goes back to
the position where it was
before
activating
the
emergency mode, at the first
movement of the command
lever.
