Auto configuration is the EVC system self-identi-
fication. Auto configuration should be performed
when the system is started for the first time or after
system updates.

configured at the same time. Turn on all keys when
performing an auto configuration.
NOTE! A quad installation can only be used with
EVC system displays.
IMPORTANT! In a quad installation, when us-
ing EVC system display, the display must be con-
figured as a “QUAD PORT/QUAD STBD” before
auto configuration is performed.

ware to all EVC system displays.

Calibration of Volvo Penta
propulsion unit positions
The Volvo Penta IPS propulsion unit calibration is
used to align the drive units in a straight position.
This is also described in the ”
Installation EVC
EC
-
C3 Electronic Vessel Control, Volvo Penta
IPS”.
Joystick docking force
The IPS Docking Force calibration is used when
the force moving the boat must be changed.
Both the normal force mode and the high force
mode will be changed with the same factor.
Choose between MINIMUM, MEDIUM and
MAXIMUM.
Steering mode settings
The setting of the steering mode, that is the IPS propulsion units’ steering angles, is
depending on the properties of the boat hull. The steering angles influence the turning
radius of the boat.
There are three values when setting the steering angles:
MINIMUM, MEDIUM and MAXIMUM.
MAXIMUM steering angle results in the smallest turning radius.
NOTE! Perform a Steering mode setting if needed after sea trial.
