Introduction

A bow thruster and/or a stern thruster can be controlled from any de-
sired position on board by means of the radiographic remote control.
This product is designed exclusively for use as described in this
manual and must only be used for this purpose. Any other use is a
breach of the conditions of use and Vetus accepts no liability for any
consequent damage. Claims on the warranty will not be accepted if
unauthorized changes are made to the product.
A remote control (key fob) controls the bow/stern thrusters via CAN
messages and relay outputs.

Operation

4 .1

Receiver

• Turn on the power supply and press and hold the 'ON' button on
the transmitter for 2 seconds.
The green LED on the receiver will turn on. The device is now
ready to use.
When the transmitter is being used, the corresponding yellow LED
(OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4) will turn on and CAN commands will be
broadcasted.
The LEDs show the relay behavior not VCAN commands.
4 .2

Transmitter

• Press and hold the 'ON' button on the transmitter for 2 seconds.
The LED on the transmitter will flash and the remote control is
ready for use.
A bow thruster and a stern thruster can be individually or simultane-
ously operated by use of the 4 keys.
- The blue LED on the transmitter will remain on while one of the
buttons is pressed.
- To ensure correct operation, the maximum distance between the
transmitter and the receiver is 15 metres (50 ft).
- (DC thrusters only) It will take about 1.5 seconds for the receiver
to react when an opposite action button (Port <> Starboard) is
pressed (control with relays).
- The transmitter will go off automatically after about 5 minutes
when it is not used.
- N.B. The receiver remains in standby mode and switches off the
green LED to avoid battery discharging. If not used for 10 min-
utes, the receiver turns off the bow/stern thrusters and goes into
standby mode.
