3. If Auto Heading disengaged because the steering wheel was turned, the Resume button light turns on. While the Resume
button light is on, you can press the "RESUME" button to resume the course in Auto Heading. Refer to
To Resume a
Heading
.
a - Mode indicator—"OFF" or "AUTO"
b - Current heading
c - Drive positions
d - Engine RPM (dual engine application shown)
4. If the ERC Handles were moved to neutral, Auto Heading turns off the "STANDBY" light turns on. You cannot resume your
course by pressing the "RESUME" button. Refer to
To Resume a Heading
.
5. If Auto Heading disengaged because the "AUTO HEADING" button was pressed, the "AUTO HEADING" button light turns
off and the Standby light comes on.
Contingent Operations
Steering—Emergency Alternative Method
If the electronic steering wheel ceases to operate, the engine throttle handles (ERC handles), trim tabs (if equipped), and the
vessel joystick should still operate. Engine throttles and trim tabs can be used as an emergency alternative for steering in open
water where there are no objects or other vessels in close vicinity.
To maintain steering and course heading, closely observe the amount of engine speed used with each throttle handle. Trim tabs
can be adjusted to assist in steering the vessel. An operator should regularly practice steering the vessel in this manner to be
familiar with using their vessel's throttles and trim tabs for steering.
The joystick can be used as an alternative method of steering when operating the vessel in close vicinity of objects, docks, and
other vessels. Engine RPM is limited with joystick operation.
Loss of Engine Operation
Loss of Starboard Side Control System
The force feedback feature of the steering wheel is only available when the starboard key switch is in the on position. If the starboard
key switch is off or there has been damage to the starboard electrical system, the steering wheel is monitored by the port control
system.
However, if only the port side is operational, or only the port key switches are in the on position, the steering wheel end stops
(provided by the force feedback system) are not present. In this case, the drive will turn in the direction the steering wheel is rotated
until the mechanical limits of the drive are reached, even though the steering wheel continues to rotate.
Operating on Less than all Available Engines
Dual, triple, and quad Zeus applications are capable of operating on less than all available engines, however such operation should
only be done in the event of a system failure. Do not intentionally operate with less than all engines running.
In the event that a system failure results in a reduction of the number of operational engines, the remaining engines must be
operated at reduced engine speed unless it is an emergency situation. Cruising at planing speeds for extended periods will cause
increased loads on the remaining engines and propulsion systems.
IMPORTANT: Depending on the number and location of available propulsion systems, certain features may not operate, such as
Precision Pilot.
