This is the confirmation that the calibration is correctly
done. If the calibration was not successful, an error code
will pop up. If starboard interceptor was not successfully
calibrated, the right LEDs, No 6 and 7 will flash. If port
interceptor was not successfully calibrated, the left LEDs,
No 6 and 7 will flash (see also under the headline Error
codes). If this will happen, shut off the power to the
system, and investigate why the blades do not move
(mechanical obstacle, clogged up by paint or acorn
barnacles). Remove the obstacle and recalibrate.
If a control unit for two pairs of interceptor units is used,
but only one pair of interceptors is installed, thus the
control unit is calibrated with only one pair of
interceptors, it is necessary to re-calibrate the system if
another pair of interceptors is installed later on.
If the control unit or any of the interceptor units, for any
reason later on are replaced, the system has to be
recalibrated.
6.
Now the system is ready for operation.
Note!
In
connection to the boat launch, always check the
interceptor installation regarding water leakage through
the transom! If any leakage, the installation is not
properly done and must be redone.
Operating the system
The control panel has four buttons. The upper button
lowers the blades in paralell (bow down). The lower
button retracts the blades in parallell (bow up). The left
button lowers the starboard blade and retracts the port
blade (tilt port). The right button lowers the port blade
and retracts the starboard blade (tilt starboard). The
blade operation starts when pressing the button and
stops when releasing it. The LED:s on the panel have
variable light intensity in four steps and OFF. By pressing
the left and right buttons simultaneously for approx 1
second, the light intensity of the LED:s takes one step
down. As long as the 2 buttons are pressed in, the
intensity takes one more step down for each 0,5 second.
When the intensity reaches the OFF level, it returns to
maximum intensity again and keeps toggling like this as
long as the 2 buttons are pressed in. When the buttons
are released, the intensity of the LED:s will stay at the
current value. If several panels are connected to the
system, only the panel where the buttons are pressed
will be affected. After power off, the panel LED:s will
restart at maximum light intensity when power on.
When the engine stops (power supply to the panel is
lost), the blades will fully retract after a few seconds.
Note!
If more than one helm station is installed, the
engine must be stopped from the main station (the
station where the red cable from the control panel is
connected to 12V or 24V).
