B.4 Adding a Second Control Station
At a minimum, a second control station must consist of a helm, a
control head, and an alarm buzzer. A secondary joystick and CANtrak
display are optional.
b.4.1

configure the Secondary helm and cantrak display

If the secondary helm and CANtrak display have not already been
configured, refer to Section 9.3 of the Optimus EPS Installation
Manual (Book 50) for instructions.
b.4.2

configure the Secondary control head (yanmar only)

The instance setting of the secondary control head needs to be
configured, and any changes to the user parameters on the primary
control head need to be copied.
procedure
1. If both control heads are connected to the CAN2 network you will
see two Main Control Head instances in the Interfaces list. Click
the + beside both instances to view the serial numbers associated
with them, then identify which of the two instances is installed as
the secondary control head. Connect to it by double-clicking it.
2. Open the Parameters tab and change the Control Head instance
to Second.

3. Update the settings, if required, to match the primary control head.
4. Click write to save the change.
b.4.3

configure the Secondary joystick

It is important that both joysticks are configured with the same tuned
parameters to ensure that the boat handles correctly when controlled
from either station. The simplest way to do this is to import the tuning
(.ecu) file from the primary (main) joystick to the secondary joystick.
See section B.5.1 for details.
