Fin Safety Information
WARNING!
Before docking, make sure the Humphree system is turned off by the main switch.
WARNING!
Before installation or service, the electrical power to the servo units with dedicated power supply must
be switched off.
WARNING!
Fins must be in neutral position before the boat is lifted out of the water.The lifting device and/or
struts must be placed in such a way that the fins are not damaged.To create a safe workplace in the
area around the ns, it is recommended to have an enclosed area of at least 1.5 x n length 360°
around the n.
WARNING!
There is a risk of being squeezed between the fin and the hull when working in the area of the fin.
Work with caution in the area around the fins.
WARNING!
The fins are rotating when enabled in ZERO SPEED STABILIZATION mode. Swimmers must stay away
from the fins due to the risk of injury. For safety around the vessel, make sure the installer has applied
appropriate warning signs prominently on the hull above the waterline above each fin.
NO SLINGS NO SWIMMING

Incorrect RCU orientation will lead to sensor malfunctions in the Humphree
system.
It is always RCU-1 that must correspond to the RCU orientation in the control
panel.The default orientation is 0 but the RCU-1 can also be installed in a
different orientation than default.
The following steps must be performed before using any of the Humphree
functions:
1. Find the location of the RCU-1 in the vessel. Make sure its in eyesight when
doing the following setup.
2. Go to MENU/ADVANCED SETUP.
3. Navigate to SENSOR CALIBRATION.
4. Select RCU ORIENTATION.
5. Adjust the image on the screen and make sure it corresponds to the physical
RCU-1 that is installed in the vessel.
6. Wait two minutes before proceeding with the required setup.

3.Trim/List Angle Calibration
NOTE!
Incorrect calibration of trim/list angles will lead to malfunctions in the
Humphree system.
Make sure the vessel is at dock at zero speed and has 0° list before proceeding
with the steps.
1. Load the vessel so that the vessel is on an even keel.
2. Navigate to ADVANCED SETUP/SENSOR CALIBRATION.
3. Select TRIM/LIST ANGLE CALIBRATION.
4. Press RESET for the TRIM and LIST angles to be set to 0.

●EXTBUS
HUMPHREE GPS
The Humphree GPS will function as soon as it is installed by cable.
Instructions on how to install the Humphree GPS cable can be found in the Installation
Manual.
NMEA 2000
With NMEA 2000, selections of available sources for boat speed, are made.
Settings for NMEA 2000 can be found in MENU/SETTINGS/NMEA 2000 SETUP.
AUTOMATIC GPS SELECTION is ticked by default.
The system automatically selects a GPS source.

WATER SPEED
Tick the USE WATER SPEED box to use water speed as primary speed source,
with fallback to the GPS signal if the water speed sensor drops out.
As a default, the HCS-5 uses GPS as the primary speed source, with fallback to
water speed if the GPS signal drops out and a water speed sensor is available.
EXTBUS
If the use of other interfaces than the Humphree GPS or NMEA 2000 is required, GPS through EXTBUS is the
solution. See the chapter RUDDER INPUT SIGNAL for further instructions.
