For number of thrusters that can be connected, refer to the specifications in the separate
Installation manual for the autopilot system.
The thruster(s) can be configured to different work profiles, and the work profile in use will
then decide if the vessel can be controlled by rudder, thruster(s), or both rudder and
thruster(s).
Thruster settings
Two settings affect how the thrusters are used by the autopilot:
•
Thruster inhibit
speed - set during dockside setup
- This setting will turn the thrusters OFF when the vessel is running above a set speed
limit
• The
Thruster assist
function - set when configuring the thrusters for the work profiles
- ON: the thrusters will automatically be used by the autopilot system. If the thrusters are
turned off when the vessel increases inhibited speed, the thrusters will automatically
be turned on again when the speed goes below the inhibited limit
- OFF: you must manually turn thrusters ON
For more information see
"User configurable settings"
on page 30.
Activating and de-activating the thruster
If a thruster is activated for a profile, the thruster can manually be turned OFF and ON.
To turn the thruster ON and OFF:
• press and hold the Command key
A popup with slide bar is displayed to indicate change in thruster status.
