Page 15: Structure And Function
General Function 3 Structure and Function 3.1 General Function The Trim Tabs Control System AHD-TCS has been constructed for the use on fast yachts whose cruising behavior can be significantly affected by controlling the trim tabs. As is customary for trim tabs, this is an electrohydraulic control system. -
Page 16: Available Auto-Modes
3.2 Available Auto-Modes The following auto-modes are available for AHD-TCS controls: 3.2.1 Auto-Mode “Rudder” In this mode, the trim tab position adjustments are based on the rudder position during curving maneuvers. -
Page 17: Function
3.3 Function Pressing the ▲ (up) or ▼ (down) button on the Operating Panel AHD-TCS OP A moves the position of the trim tab up or down and thus pushes the vessel’s bow up or down. Here, the button for the TCS electronics causes the hydraulic ag- gregate to move the hydraulic cylinder forward or backward with oil pressure. -
