The control panel has five buttons. Use the top button to
lower the bow (the interceptor blades are lowered in par-
allel). Use the lower buttons to raise the bow (the inter-
ceptor blades are retracted in parallel). See Figure 1.
Use the left button to lower the starboard interceptor
blade and retract the port interceptor blade (list to port). See
Figure 2.
Use the right button to lower the port interceptor blade
and retract the starboard interceptor blade (list to star-
board). See Figure 3.
A blade will start moving when a button is pressed and
stop when it is released.
The actual position of the interceptor blades is shown
continually on two columns of LEDs on the control panel,
one for the port side and the other for starboard.
The control panel LEDs have four levels of light intensity
and an off mode. Press the left and right buttons simulta-
neously for approx. 1 second to reduce LED light intensity
one level. Keep the buttons held down to reduce the
intensity further every half second. If several panels are
connected to the system, only the panel being adjusted is
affected.
When the engine is shut down (power to the panel is cut),
the blades retract fully.
noTe! If several helm stations are installed, the engine
must be stopped from the main helm station (the station
to which the red cable is connected to the 12 V or 24 V
system).
