9.6 The thruster runs for short intervals or a clicking sound is to be heard from the
MCU
•
Check the voltage on battery +, and battery – on the control unit when trying to run the thrusters. The
voltage must be minimum 10.5 V (12 V system) and 21 V (24 V system).

9.7 The thruster stops working after a long period of use

9.7.1

Intelligent electronic protection control

WARNING:
•
The system has intelligent monitoring to measure run and pause time. The XForce Thruster is not
permitted to start if the voltage on the thruster is below 10.0V on 12V system/ 20.0V on 24V system. If
the voltage at the thruster drops below 9.0/18.0V when thruster is running, warning will occur by
showing orange light power light on the wireless control.
•
Of security reasons, the system permits continuous running of the thruster in 4 intervals of 30 sec. After
each interval, the thruster will stop. Switching off / on the joystick or switch panel will make the thruster
run again. If repeated 4 times, (total 2 minutes running), the thruster will need to cool down for 25
minutes before being ready to run again. This to protect the motor and control unit against overheating.
•
NB: In an emergency situation, to save the ship at the possible expense of the thruster, this protection
can be override by turning the main switch off and on.
•
Check the thruster, control unit, fuse, cables and electric connections for visible signs of overheating,
bad connection and short circuit.

9.5 The thruster runs in contradicting direction

If the operating direction when using the remote transmitter is wrong, follow the
procedure below.
•
Turn off the main switch.
•
Remove the rubber cover on the Control Unit.
•
Change position on DIL switch 8 on S100 and exchange wires 1 and 3
on the 12 pin green connector.
•
Turn on the main switch and verify in a safe and controlled manner
correct operation from all operation panels and the remote transmitter.
•
If the operating direction when using the fixed panel is wrong exchange
wires 1 and 3 on the green 12 pin connector.
