General Remarks:
Before connecting power to the thruster control card or when raising or lowering the thruster in
whatever mode of operation, make sure that all persons are clear of thruster unit, to avoid any
human injuries.
Before system can be used in normal operation mode, the system needs to be set-up following
the procedures described in “Manual Mode”, “Automatic Set-up Mode” and “Installation Mode”.
If power to control card was removed with system in any other mode than Normal Operation
Mode, the system will automatically goes into Manual Mode when power is restored to control
card. If thruster was not fully up then the “Up” LED will flash, and thruster will have to be raised
by pushing and holding “Up” pushbutton.
A. Manual Mode:
A.1 With system switched off, push and hold down “On/Off”, “Up” and “Down” pushbuttons
simultaneously for a period of 3 seconds. The system will now go into Manual Mode with “On”,
“Up” and “Down” LED’s all flashing .
A.2 With the system in Manual Mode the thruster can now be lowered and raised by pushing and
holding down the “Up” or “Down” pushbuttons. As soon as pushbutton is released the unit will
stop.
A.3 Buzzer will double beep as soon as down or up position is reached.
A.4 If these “down” or “up” positions are reached before thruster is in the fully mechanical down or
up position, the trip settings of the control card need to be increased.
A.5 If buzzer double beep before fully down position is reached, as in point A.2, when unit is being
lowered, then adjust “Down” trip setting screw on control card by a ¼ of a turn clockwise.
Repeat this step until thruster reaches fully down position or until setting screw has been set to
maximum.
