Page 11: Programming Of The Trolling Functions
Programming of the Trolling functions This chapter is dedicated to the specific parameters for setting up the trolling functionalities: for general programming of the actuator please refer to chapter 11 of the Lever EC3 - EC4 Product Manual. Trolling actuator parameters Flexball actuator for trolling control permits to adapt to every trolling valve system by correctly modifying a specific set of parameters, which are listed in the following table. - Page 12 Parameter “t4” In some application it might be useful to slightly change the motor speed during the trolling ramp. When motor is idling, motor speed could be at its minimum. When the gear is engaged, it might be necessary to slightly increase the motor RPM to compensate an increase of the increased load of the shft + propeller, which are now clutched together with the motor.
