For general information about how to install an electronic control system, please refer to the product manual for control levers EC3 & EC4. The same Trolling option can be used either with levers EC3 & EC4. 2 General installation features 2.1 Description of the system and its parts The electronic system with the trolling option is composed of: · Up to 3 command stations · N° 1 Actuator including trolling option · Data communication cables which connect the command stations to the Actuators · T CANBus connectors · Electrical cables towards motor, gearbox and trolling valves 2.2 Trolling option in combination with Flap option In case in addition to the trolling option it is required also the Flap option, the system must be added of the option kit which is composed of: · Trim/Flap box · N°1 data communication cable · N°1 T CANBus connector · Electrical cables towards Trim/Flap pump 2.3 Maximum extension of the system The maximum configuration of the system is as shown in the following table: Actuators Command stations 80 meters The maximum number of engines that the system can control is 2 The maximum number of command stations in the installation is 3 Maximum distance between cockpit and engine room Electronic engine remote control 030626.03 3 3 Pilot instructions The command station for the standard electronic system or for the electronic system with the trolling option is the same. It is possible to switch between standard operating mode and trolling mode and vice versa by simply depressing for 2 seconds the Command push button of the station which at the moment has the command of the electronic system (red command light = "ON"). Entering and exiting trolling mode can only occur with command levers in one of the three detent positions: forward, neutral or backward. 3.1 Standard operating mode If you press down another time the command push-button, trolling is deactivated and the red LED displays a fixed red light and you are in standard operating mode. In standard operating mode, moving the lever from the neutral position, after 16° forward or reverse automatically the electronic system clutches-in respectively the forward or reverse gear. The accelerator lever has a stroke of 62° both in forward and backward direction for setting the motor RPM. 3.2 Trolling mode When trolling mode is active, the red LED flashes and the the behaviour of the lever is the following: - moving the lever from the neutral position, after 16° forward or reverse automatically the electronic system clutches-in respectively the forward or reverse gear - forward and reverse position are easily recognizable by the mechanical detents. At these lever's positions, gear is engaged with trolling working at 100%. With trolling = 100%, the boat should be standstill because no movement is transmitted to the propeller - moving the lever from 16° to 48°, the trolling percentage progressively reduces and the propeller speed progressively increases - when lever reaches 48°, trolling = 0%, the gear is completely engaged and the propeller rotates with motor at minimum speed - from 48° to 80°, throttle speed increases from minimum to maximum (with gear completely engaged) Lever functionality without trolling Idle reverse Neutral Idle forward 16° 16° 62° Max. 62° Max. Lever functionality with trolling enabled Reverse Trolling 62° Max. Neutral Forward Trolling 16° 16° Min. Max. Full speed Min. Throttle Throttle 62° Min. Full speed Min. 4 030626.03 Electronic engine remote control To be noticed: at power on, trolling function is automatically active Trolling mode can be passed from one command station to the other, exactly like all the other system functions. If you acquire the command from another station where trolling was already activated, the trolling will automatically be enabled also on the station which has taken the command (inheritance of the command). Signals indicating that the system is in Trolling mode When Trolling mode is activated the Command (red) LED is: · fast blinking when at least one of the levers are in the trolling mode area · slow blinking when both the levers are out of the trolling mode area. In this case trolling function will be activated as soon as one of the levers enters again into the trolling area. · fixed light if trolling function is deactivated 3.3 Control keypad On the command station it is mounted an electronic keypad with 4 push-buttons and 4 LEDs. Command station EC3 Command station EC4 without trim option with trim option vetus Engine Warm/Sync Trim Engine Engine Engine Command Warm/Sync Command Description Engine (*) Warm/Sync Command Engine (*) LEDs colour Green Orange Red Green (*) In installations with single engine, both the green LEDs are referring to the same engine. In systems with 2 engines the push button and the green LED on the right are referring to the starboard engine while the push button and the green LED on the left side are referring to the port engine. Electronic engine remote control 030626.03 5 It follows the table with the definition of LED and push buttons. Push-button LED Engine Command Warm/Sync Warm/Sync Command All LEDs are lighted on Description The left LED is for the port (left) engine, while the right LED is for the starboard (right) engine. If the LED has a fixed light on (green), the corresponding gearbox is in neutral position. If a command station has not the command, a blinking (green) LED indicates that the lever on the LED's side is synchronised with the lever of the station that at the moment has the Command. If it is switched off, the Station has not the command. If is switched on, the Station has the command. If it is blinking, the navigation system is in Warm-up mode; this means that the engines can be accelerated without clutching-in the gear. If the LED is fix lighted, the system is in Synchro mode. When both the levers of the Station that has the command are in neutral position, if you press for 1,5 seconds the button Warm, it is activated the function Warm-up. If you press Command for 1,5 seconds the station takes the command, only if one of these two conditions are respected: - both the lever of the station are in neutral - both the lever are synchronized with respect to the levers of the station that at the moment has the command The control system isn't working correctly 3.4 Acquisition of the command It is possible to acquire the command of the boat from any Station in the following cases: · The boat isn't moving 1. Position both the levers in neutral and press Command for 1,5 seconds. 2. LED "Command" is now lighted on while the warm/synch LED is blinking. You are in Warm-up mode: throttle com- mand is enabled but clutch command is disabled. 3. To take the command you must press for 1,5 seconds the Warm/Sync bush-button, afterwards the station acquires the command. · In navigation 1. Synchronize the 2 levers of the Station which wants to acquire the command with respect to the Station which has the command. 2. When LEDs "Engine" of the station which wants to acquire the command are blinking, these levers are synchronised with the levers of the station which still has the command. 3. By pressing the pushbutton Command for 1,5 seconds, the new station takes the command. Important: before taking the command, proof that all the passengers are safely on board. 3.5 Engine Warm-up If both levers are in neutral, by pressing for 1,5 seconds the button Warm/Sync of the Station which has the command, you enter in Warm-up mode. If you move the lever, it is only affected the accelerator but not the gear. In Warm-up mode the LED Warm/Sync is blinking. After positioning again both levers in neutral and pressing for 1,5 seconds the Warm/Sync, the system comes back to the normal operation mode. 6 030626.03 Electronic engine remote control 3.6 Synchro mode It is possible to command both engines at the same speed and direction with only one lever. This function can be activated only by the station which has the command. With both levers in neutral position, press at the same time for 1,5 seconds the two "engine" push-buttons. The command of both engines is now on the right lever. In Synchro operation mode, the LEDs "Warm/Sync" and "Command" are lighted on. From "Synchro" operation mode, if you position both levers in neutral, and press contemporaneously for 1,5 seconds the two "Engine" push buttons, the command of each engine is again assigned to the respective lever and LED "Warm/Sync" is switched off. The same operation of synchronisation or de-synchronisation can be performed on the station which has the command, in case the RPM between the two motors doesn't differ more than 10%. 3.7 Fast Start-up Mode This function is available on the first command station as described in section 8.1 of this manual. When the configuration FSM (Fast Start up Mode) is enabled, the command station with the FSM enabled takes automatically the command at the power on, only if this command station is in neutral position. If the command station is not in neutral position, the command station will take the command as soon the neutral position will be reached. 4 Command station Under the base of the command station there is an aluminium cap. Unscrewing it, you can access to a 4 poles dip-switch and you can make various settings relevant to the command station behaviour, as depicted in the station's adhesive stick. If you move switch 2 in ON position, the trolling function will be enabled. Operations: · unscrew the cap; · set the dip-switch position according to the following table; · screw again the cap. Dip-switch 1: OFF Line termination disabled ON Line termination enabled Dip-switch 2: OFF Trolling disabled ON Trolling enabled Dip-switch 3 & 4: Defnition of FSM and station address Address 1 Address FSM Address 2 Address 3 Dip-switch 3 OFF ON OFF ON Dip-switch 4 OFF OFF ON ON DIP switch configuration 1234 1 st command station 1 st command station FSM 2 nd command station 3 rd command station If trolling function is disabled by setting switch 2=OFF, trolling is not activable (on a command station that has the command, pressing the Command button will not produce any effect: its behaviour will be the one of a standard plant).

Important note: don't modify these parameter unless you have completely understood their meaning and the trolling valve system. Personal injury and mechanical/electrical damages may occur! Parameter / Min Max Def Unit Description display code P0/S0 0 99 15 % PWM % @ minimum trolling speed (P ->PORT (left), S -> STARBOARD (right) engine) P1/S1 0 99 23 % PWM % @ maximum trolling speed (P ->PORT (left), S -> STARBOARD (right) engine) t2 0 99 0 % PWM % during propeller start t3 0 99 2 s/10 propeller start's time span t4 0 99 0 % RPM Engine % increment (related to minimum engine speed) reached @ maximum trolling speed t5 0 1 0 - PWM% @ neutral position, either 0 or P0/S0 t6 0 99 0 % Reserved (not used) t7 0 99 0 % RPM Engine % increment (related to minimum engine speed) maintained after trolling speed ramp Parameter ""P0"/ "S0" This parameter defines the PWM percentage applied to the trolling valve when trolling is maximum (100%). It determines the minimum propeller speed. Default value is 14%. P0 is for LEFT engine, S0 for RIGHT engine. Parameter "P1"/ "S1" This parameter defines the PWM percentage applied to the trolling valve when trolling is minimum (0%). It determines the maximum propeller speed at the end of the trolling ramp. Default value is 21%. P1 is for LEFT engine, S1 for RIGHT engine Parameter "t2" In order to reduce the time to start the boat, it might be necessary to give a quick "kick-off". Parameters "t2" and "t3" permit to apply a for a limited time (t3) a higher speed on the propeller. "t2" defines the percentage to be applied for a defined amount of time, before entering in trolling mode. Parameter "t3" It defines for how much time can be applied the "kick-off" before entering in trolling mode. Electronic engine remote control 030626.03 11 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. At the end of trolling ramp engine will reach the value imposed with this parameter: during trolling ramp the engine's speed will vary proportionally from "native" minimum speed to the one defines by parameter t4. Important note: don't exceed the maximum input speed for your trolling valve system! Check carefully its technical data and set t4 correctly! Parameter "t5" This parameter defines the current will flow through the trolling valve command when trolling function is active but the gearbox is in neutral state. If you leave it at 0, no current will flow in the trolling solenoid valve when the gearbox is in neutral position. If you set it to 1, the current that flows in neutral position is determined by S0/P0 parameter. On ZF gearboxes it is recommended to set t5=0 (default condition). Parameter "t6" Reserved. Parameter "t7" When trolling is activated, this parameter defines the minimum engine's RPM at the end of trolling speed ramp. When trolling is activated, if you set t4 equal to t7 no discontinuity will occur passing through trolling ramp zone and acceleration zone. Important note: once you have set t7 > 0, minimum speed will be increased also when the system is working in no trolling mode! 12 030626.03 Electronic engine remote control The following pictures describe the trolling parameters effect in case trolling is active. PWM (current) t1 t0 t5=1 t6 t5=0 16° 48° Engine throttle 100% t7 t4 0% 16° 48° PWM (current) Lever angle 80° Lever angle 80° t2 t0 0 t3 Time Notes: · In the third graph, time "0" is the instant at which the lever reaches the mechanical indent (gear engagement): no more lever movement is assumed; · "t0" stands for both "P0" and "S0" parameters, "t1" stands for "P1" and "S1". Electronic engine remote control 030626.03 13 7 Flap actuator box option In case in addition to the trolling option it is required also the Flap option, the system must be added of the option kit which is composed of: · Trim/Flap actuator box · N°1 T CANBus connector · N°1 data communication cable · Electrical cables towards Trim/Flap pump It follows here below a drawing of the installation kit: 1 x 1 x 1 x 2 x The actuator for trim/flap option looks according to the below drawing: Trim/Flap Trim/Flap left engine Data transmission right engine 14 030626.03 Left engine Right engine Trim/Flap Canbus +12 V +24 V Trim/Flap Voltage supply Electronic engine remote control Installation scheme: ENGINE 1 WARM/S COMMAND ENGINE 2 ENGINE 1 WARM/S COMMAND ENGINE 2 ENGINE 1 WARM/S COMMAND ENGINE 2 ENGINE 1 WARM/S COMMAND ENGINE 2 For all the instruction related to this function, please refer to the Lever EC3 - EC4 product Manual.
