    1. General features Supremo is an electronic control system capable of controlling the left and right engines, the bow and stern thrusters, anchor winches and any accessories of any boat in a simple and intuitive way. The system consists of a central unit and a transceiver for remote control. There are three transceiver models available: with keys, with levers or with joystick.

    2. Installation and connection 2.1. Installation of the central unit The central unit MUST be installed away from devices capable of electromagnetic interference fields for the radio signal emitted by the transceiver (for example: UHF transceivers, inverters or electric power cables, etc.). Also avoid installations where the ambient temperature can exceed 50 °...

  • Page 6: Connection Scheme

    The central unit is normally configured at the factory with the features and options requested by the customer based on the characteristics of the boat. Since Supremo is fully configurable, before making the electrical connections, you must check the settings of the central unit. The installation must proceed in this sequence: 1) Connect the central unit outputs following the instructions provided later in this manual.
