  • Page 97: Step 3 - Run Throttle Wizards

    B.3.6 STEP 3 – Run throttle wizards The engine response wizards will use the values acquired in STEP 2 to develop a relationship between throttle and RPM that the joystick will use to improve its control of the vessel. Perform with boat safely secured, or in an open area.

    7. If you changed the throttle parameters, repeat the wizard and recheck the results until the conditions are met. 8. Click Run Stbd Engine Forward Throttle Wizard to repeat this procedure for the starboard engine. The C LED will flash on the joystick to indicate the starboard wizard is running.

    B.3.9 STEP 6 – Set sideways rudder angle When moving sideways we don’t want the boat to rotate. We achieve this by tuning the Power Level vs Rotation Ratio map. Perform in an area with no wind or current to remove outside interference. This step only adjusts for rotation during sideways movement.

    B.3.10 STEP 7 – Balance sideways engine power In this step you will adjust the power ratio between the REV and FWD engines to eliminate fore/aft movement when moving the boat sideways. Perform in an area with no wind or current to remove outside interference. 1.

  • Page 102: Step 8 - Adjust Power Levels

    B.3.11 STEP 8 – Adjust power levels In this step you will customize the boat’s response by fine-tuning power levels associated with each direction. Note that large changes in these values can affect the rudder offset and FWD/REV ratios calibrated in STEP 4 through STEP 8.

    The joystick tuning (.ecu) file should be saved as a backup in the event of a joystick failure, or to facilitate setup of a second control station. You will also need to email a copy of the tuning file to Dometic as part of the post-installation warranty checklist (Part # 214740). Refer to section 9.2.10 in the Optimus EPS Installation Manual (Book 65) for instructions.

    B.4 Adding a second control station At a minimum, a second control station must consist of a helm, a control head, and an alarm buzzer. A secondary joystick and CANtrak display are optional. B.4.1 Configure the secondary helm and CANtrak display If the secondary helm and CANtrak display have not already been configured, refer to the Optimus EPS Installation Manual (Book 65) for instructions.

    B.5 Importing a joystick tuning file The Import utility in Datalink allows you to copy an existing joystick tuning file into another joystick. This makes it easy to: • configure a second station joystick. • use a template tuning file to set up identical vessels without tuning every vessel individually.

    B.6 Yamaha EST gateway setup Before configuring the EST gateway you should have already configured the PCM (section B.2) and cycled power to the system. If you haven’t done so, do this now. Note: when cycling the power it is important that you switch it off for at least ten seconds.

  • Page 109: System

    B.6.1 System Check that the Number of Engines and Number of Gateways parameters match the values entered into the PCM. If they don’t, open the PCM interface, make the changes to the PCM configuration, and cycle power again. Do not try to change the values in the gateway interface because they will be overwritten on...
