d) To raise thruster, press and hold the “Up” pushbutton for one second after which unit will beep
once and then raise automatically.
e) When thruster will be fully up the “Up” LED comes on and the buzzer double beeps to indicate
that thruster is completely up and ready to be switched off.
f) If thruster meets any abnormal resistance when lowering or raising, the system will automatically
go into Manual Mode .
D.3 Thrusting “Left” & “Right”:
a) Use joystick to thrust either left or right.
b) Please note that it is only possible to thrust left or right when thruster is detected to be fully
down.
c) The thruster controller provides a time delay between left and right thrust in order to avoid rapid
direction changes, but no delay when thrusting to same side.
D.4 Overheat Alarm & Shut-Down:
a) If the thruster motor overheats the buzzer will start beeping and the “On” L.E.D. will flash with
one-second intervals until the motor has cooled down.
b) During this overheat condition one has a total of ten seconds of actual use (left & right thrust) of
the thruster, after which the unit will auto retract and switch off automatically.
c) After this overheat shut down it will not be possible to switch “On” the system again until the
thruster motor has cooled down.
D.5 General:
a) If the thruster unit has not been used for a period of ten minutes the unit will automatically
switch off.
b) If unit is in the “Down” position, the thruster will auto-retract automatically before switching off.
c) Ten seconds before system automatically switches off the unit will give an audible warning by
means of 4 short beeps.
d) In order to isolate the power circuit of the thruster motor each time the control circuit is
switched off one would need to install an electric battery isolator, as advised by Max Power (see
"Control Wiring Diagram" in the back of this manual for more detail).
e) If power to control card was removed with system in normal operation mode (after correct set-
up procedure was followed) and with the thruster not fully up, the unit will automatically raise
and switch off as soon as power to control card is restored. The system can then be switched on
normally and will be in
normal operation mode
