The button enables or disables the control panel.
Joystick
When the joystick is moved to the right at the end of its stroke, it moves the bow or stern of the boat to the
right, according to which thruster is selected.
When the joystick is moved to the left at the end of its stroke, it moves either the bow or stern of the boat to the
left, according to which thruster is selected.
Enablement leds
The enablement leds indicate the enabled/disabled state of the control panel.
Direction leds
The direction leds indicate the movement of the boat to the right or left.
All leds are also used to signal any errors or problems.
Use the switch on the power supply line to switch the control panel on and off. Once the power supply has been
connected, the control panel will test the leds. For the led test, all the leds will come on simultaneously for 2
seconds. If no errors or problems are detected, the control panel will then go to the disabled state (see control
panel disablement).
WARNING: practice controlling the thruster in open water, to avoid damaging the boat with accidentally
wrong manoeuvres
