1.2 Description
This electronic wiper control consists of a touch pad with 4 metres (13”)
connection cable and a separate junction box. The operation is based on a
microprocessor and controls up to three wipers. Each wiper can be switched
ON and OFF individually, but they can also run together.
This wiper control offers:
• two continuous speed;
• three intermittent speeds;
• self parking;
• wipe/wash program.
This control includes visual indications when it is ON, and for the continuous
and intermittent modes.
1.3 Power supply
This wiper control is available in two versions to operate under a power supply
of 12V or 24V DC. Check the power supply of the unit supplied, before
connecting it to the ships electric system.

2 Installation
2.1 Dimensions touch pad
2.2 Installation of touch pad
The touch pad is to be fitted at a location that is within reach of the helmsman,
allowing ease of operation. Make sure that sufficient room is available for the
cables and the connectors. The required mounting hole for the touch pad is
79 x 80 mm. There should be at least 75 mm (3”) space available under the
front of the touch pad for the connection cable and plug.
The touch pad has four recessed mounting holes of 3,5 mm in diameter. They
allow easy and quickly fitting using stainless steel screws or the bolts and nuts
supplied.

2.3 Dimensions junction box
2.4 Installation of junction box
The connection cable of 4 m (13”) length allows installation of the junction box
at such a distance, that the ‘clicking’ of the relays will not disturb the helmsman.
Should the junction box need to be installed at a larger distance, extension
cables are available in 3 m and 6 m. Maximum distance between the touch pad
and the junction box is 10 m.
The junction box must be mounted in a horizontal position and in a vibration
free location. The junction box contains relays that will not reset properly if
mounted otherwise.
The junction box has four mounting locations (holes not yet drilled). Only two
locations can be used, as the other two are blocked by the circuit board. The
box needs to be opened for drilling the two holes from the inside. The box can
then easily and quickly be fitted using stainless steel screws or bolts and nuts.

3.3 Wiper connections 3.4 Fuse sizes
The power supply line on the circuit board in the junction box has an
integrated fuse of 2A. Each wiper outlet has an integrated fuse of 10A for 12V
systems and 6A for 24V systems, located in the junction box.
3.5 Cable sizes
Use new cables that are undamaged and of sufficient diameter. This to prevent
too much resistance for the required electrical current.
Recommended cable sizes:
Amperage Max. length Min. diameter
0.1 – 2.5 10 m (33“) 2.5 mm² (14 gauge)
2.6 – 4.0 10 m (33“) 4.0 mm² (12 gauge)

4 Operation
4.1 ON/OFF switching
With the ON/OFF button (pos. 1) the wipers can be switched on. When pressing
this button once, an internal test is carried out. The wipers will start in the
default setting and the LED’s above the individual wiper buttons (pos. 3) will
illuminate. The LED next to the ON/OFF button (pos. 1) will stay illuminated as
long as the panel is ON. When this button is pressed again, all wipers will park
and stop.
4.2 Choice of wipers
When pressing one of the wiper buttons on pos. 2 each wiper can be switched
ON and OFF individually. The LED’s above these buttons (pos. 3) indicate which
wipers are activated. Switching ON a wiper when the others are already
operating may cause a short delay of the other wipers. This is to synchronise
the operation
4.3 Continuous mode
To activate the continuous mode in low speed, press the button on pos. 4 until
LED’s A, B, C and D on the LED indicator bar (pos. 6) are illuminated. The wipers
will run synchronized. Press once more on the button on pos. 4 and the
continuous high speed mode is activated. All five LED’s in the LED bar (pos. 6)
will be illuminated.
4.4 Intermittent mode
To activate the intermittent mode, press the button on pos. 5 until the required
delay setting is reached. The wipers will run synchronised in all intermittent
settings.
LED’s illuminated Delay Speed mode
1 LED: A 10 sec. Intermittent
2 LED’s: A + B 5 sec. Intermittent
3 LED’s: A + B + C 2,5 sec. Intermittent
4 LED’s: A + B + C +D low speed Continuous
5 LED’s: A + B + C +D high speed Continuous
4.5 Wipe/wash program
This wiper control has a built in ‘smart’ wipe/wash program which can be
activated by pressing the wipe/wash button (pos. 7). When shortly pressing
this button, the standard program will be started:
• The pump or solenoid will be activated allowing water to be sprayed onto the
screen.
• After three seconds, all wipers will start to run in the low speed mode for a
period of four seconds. Water will still be sprayed.
• After four second, the water supply will be stopped and the wipers will run
for another three seconds.
• After the program has been completed, the wipers will go back to the setting
that was previously used.
Besides the standard wipe/wash program as described before, you can also
choose a personalised program. The available programs are visualised here:
Standard program: press WASH button (pos. 7) once.
Personalised program: keep WASH button (pos. 7) pressed.
As long as the wipe/wash program is active, the LED next to the WASH button
will be illuminated. After the wash program has ended, all active wipers will go
back to the setting that was previously used.
As a standard, the wipers are included in the wash program. However, a wiper
can be excluded from the program as follows:
• Press the button on pos. 4 or pos. 5 until LED’s A, B, C, D and E blink.
• Press the button of the wiper that needs to be excluded and the respective
LED will go off.
• Press ON/OFF button (pos. 1) to store the new situation in the memory.
To undo, follow the same steps and the respective LED will illuminate again.

4.6 Synchronised operation
All wipers will run synchronised in each speed mode.
4.7 Self parking
When pressing the ON/OFF button (pos. 1) the wipers will go to the corner of
the screen and park, providing the wiper motors are equipped with a self-park
function.
