MENU MENU MENU If the problem is that the voltage delivered from the batteries are too low for the thruster to be allowed to run, this is shown directly on the display by the battery that is not delivering being replaced by the alarm sign (see example). If the issue is something else, the alarm signal will replace the remaining run time indicator for the thruster / system that is causing the alarm. Voltage below 9.3V/17.5V or temperature above 80 (12V/24V system) single beep every 2.4 seconds Voltage below 8.9V/16.3V or temperature above 90 (12V/24V system) two beeps every 2.4 seconds Voltage below 8.5V/15V or temperature above 100 (12V/24V system) red backlight in display and three beeps every 2.4 seconds The last warning signal will also be triggered when operating the thruster with the joysticks, except with no external buzzer output. If one or both of the thrusters enters an alarm state (Voltage below 8 Volts - for both 12 and 24 Volt systems - or temperature above 110 C): continuous beeps. Temperature must drop below 100 before the thruster can be operated again. SPECIFIC ALARMS WHEN USED IN A SYSTEM WITH SR-SERIES RETRACTABLE THRUSTERS Alarm shown when the thruster is obstructed while deploying. The internal buzzer will sound. Buzzer can be muted by pressing the “OFF” button Alarm shown when the thruster is obstructed while retracting. PJC-211 1.1.1 - 2012...
Type 2: Retract SR150000(SR130/170/210) with PPC800, both devices needs to be set to Type 2 WHEN INSTALLING A RETRACT THRUSTER WITH SPEED CONTROL (PPC800), DO NOT TRY TO RUN THE THRUSTER UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ENTIRE SETUP PROCEDURE CORRECTLY! This is to prevent damage to the thruster caused by running the thruster while the retract mechanism is not fully opened. OK: Saves changes and quit editing. Select: Switch between Location, Retract and Retract settings. Cancel: Cancel operation without saving changes. Cancel: Returns to “SETUP” –menu. PJC-211 1.1.1 - 2012...

Use joysticks to adjust applied thrust OK: Saves changes and returns to “SETUP”-menu Cancel: Returns to “SETUP”-menu without saving changes Any changes made will be relayed to 8730 INTERFACE units with Firmware 1.203 or newer INFO The info selection is a service screen. Choose the Info screen if you wish to check your system. When in this screen you will be able to run the thrusters individually with the joysticks or simul- INFO taneously with the “Hold” function. You will be able to see two screens by pressing the “more” button 1st screen : Control panel info: - Firmware and Hardware version - Serial number - S-link voltage 2nd screen: Bow thruster information - Motor temperature - Speed controller (PPC800) temperature - Actual voltage - Thrust percentage it is running at - Current consumption & watt at present.
