VIP 150, Hydraulic with Electronic Controller 25/12/2005

5.7.3 Thrusting "Left" or "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.

5.7.4 Overheat Alarm & Shut-Down:

a) If the thruster motor overheats the "On" LED 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 it will not be possible to continue thrusting in

either direction.

c) The thruster must then be raised by pushing the "Up" push button. Once thruster is

detected to be fully up the system will automatically switch off.

d) After this overheat shut down it will not be possible to switch "On" the system again until

the thruster motor has cooled down.

5.7.5 General:

a) If the thruster unit is in the "Up" position and has not been used for a period of ten

minutes, the unit will automatically switch off. Before automatically switching off the unit

will warn you by beeping once, followed by a second beep a few seconds later, after

which the unit switches off.

b) In order to isolate the power circuit of the electropump each time the control circuit is

switched off, one would need to install an electric battery isolator, as advised by Max

Power (see "

Wiring Diagram

" in the back of this manual for more detail).

c) When electronic control box is powered up and "Up" position detector is not detected,

the "Up" LED will start flashing and the buzzer will beep once every second. The "Up"

push-button should then be pressed until unit is detected to be fully "Up". After which the

buzzer will beep twice and the system will be switched off automatically.
