6.0 SYSTEM FAULTS & HAZARDS
Should a fault occur, it will be communicated to the user though the
control head LEDs. Section 6.1 defines the types of hazards you may
experience with the system and how the system will handle each.
NOTICE
When a serious fault occurs, consider your options. While the system
has many features to allow the boat to return to port in a slow and
safe manner, local conditions or operator skills may dictate that
calling for assistance is the prudent thing to do.
6.1
Hazard Definitions
6.1.1
Danger
A danger fault is a critical system fault which will result in limited or
no shift and throttle performance and requires immediate action.
Depending on the nature of the fault a variety of conditions might
occur all designed to provide the safest situation for returning to
port. Some examples are:
• Shift and throttle control may be unavailable for one or more engines.
• The shift and/or throttle may require manual override.
Indication
Dual lever control: both neutral indicator lamps will flash red quickly
(5 times per second) until the levers are moved to neutral. When the
levers are in neutral the red lamp will flash on the faulted side only.
Single lever control: Both the amber and green lamps will flash quickly.
6.1.2
Warning
A warning is a non-critical system fault which may cause the boat
speed to be reduced.
Although a warning fault may not always adversely affect shift and
throttle performance, it is an indication of a problem in the system
and should be remedied. In some cases the fault can be reset by
cycling the system power, but it may require attention from a
certified technician.
Indication
Dual lever control: the blue Take Command lamp will flash quickly (5
times per second).
Single lever control: The amber lamp will flash quickly.
