3 - Introduction
3.2 - Installation requirements
It is strongly recommended to entrust a professional with the preparation and positioning of the counter ange on
the hull. These instructions are generic and do not show by any means the details of the operations of preparing the coun-
ter ange, which falls under the competence of the shipyard. In case of problems caused by a defective installation of the
counter ange, the installer will be held responsible.
Despite all components and moving mechanical parts are of high quality, the correct installation of the propulsion unit is fun-
damental for a safe and efcient use of the boat, as well as of the propulsion unit itself.
Please note that the installation of such unit is an operation requiring experience and technical competence. It is recommend-
ed to entrust the installation to competent staff and to consult the manufacturer or naval architects to fully evaluate the entity
of the work.
The QSR retractable thruster®has two distinct movements.
The main movement, relating to the propulsion part, is of tilting type. The hinges on which the movement happens are con-
ceived to confer high resistance to the set and are located on the at ange surface that joins the pre-assembled structure to
the hull solid support.
The secondary movement relates to the closing of the through-hull tting from where the tunnel comes out. This tilting
movement takes place around the hinge, which has been designed and manufactured in order to open the lid without interfer-
ences (if properly installed, as per instructions provided).
Electric motor, gear, levers and all other components are supplied by QS Seamaster®, already assembled on the sup-
porting structure in BMC and do not require adjustments, adaptations or sealings, unless indicated in this manual.
The QSR retractable thruster is sold separately from the counter ange, that can be supplied in different materials to
comply with the different types of hulls. QS Seamaster®is able to supply stainless steel, aluminium alloy or BMC supports,
fundamental for a solid and precise installation.
For the breglass hulls the support must be laminate in the hull respecting the current regulations relating to joints. The pro-
pulsion unit distributes mechanical stresses to the hull through the counter ange. The strenght of the joint will be determined
by overlapped, up to standard, rolling processes.
For aluminium alloy or for stainless steel hulls, the support must be welded to the hull.
If this installation is correctly realised, a box-type structure like the support's one, can give greater sturdiness to the hull.
Consult the manufacturer, naval architects and/or specialised companies to evaluate additional work such as beams and ribs
near the retractable propulsion unit.
This document contains the instructions that are necessary for boat manufacturers and marine equipment installers to as-
semble and commission the Thruster.
Warning symbol concerning haz-
ardous situations.
Caution symbol to avoid direct or indirect
damage to the product.
This manual contains Warning and/or Caution symbols that are important for safety.
Comply with the recommendations provided herein.

WARNING: pay particular attention to avoid interferences between the lid and the hull opening. Too precise contacts
will cause damages to the entire moving system (g.7).
• Realised the closing lid by keeping on all sides a space
varying from 3 to 5 mm, paying special attention to the
hinge’s side, ensuring that the internal walls are inclined
by 45° so that they don’t hinder the hull’s opening (g. 7
and 8).
• To obtain the correct opening of the hinge, the surfaces of
hull and lid must be on the same level (g. 9).
• The maximum hull thickness must be 35 mm (QSRØ185)
50mm (QSRØ250) (g. 8).
• Position the angle bracket correctly on the hull
(g. 10A and 10B - part. A).
Fasten the angle bracket with structural adhesive
(g. 10B - part. B1 - B2).
Decide whether to fasten the lid bracket to the hull with 3
M8 screws or with resin (g. 10B - part. C1 - C2).

7 - Operation
7.1 - Actuator current rotary switch
The ten selectable steps (from 0 to 9) allow you to set a percentage
(see table) regarding the maximum current/load allowed for the actuator
in use.
ROTARY SWITCH
POSITION 0123456789
MAXIMUM CURRENT
LOAD % 28% 36% 44% 52% 60% 68% 76% 84% 92% 100%
Should a setting different to the factory one be requested, carry out the following operations:
1) Turn the arrow of the rotary switch to the desired position with the board not powered.
2) When the board is powered, the percentage corresponding to the selected position will automatically be set.
If the maximum current/load is too low compared to the real operating requirements, protections against high absorption of
the actuator may intervene in closing and opening the retractable, with ashing 1 and 7 errors.

NUMBERS PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
1
High absorption on motor
reversing contactor unit
control’s output.
The problem is signaled in case the QSRGTW adapter detects a
short-circuit or an overcharge on the electric line between the
QSRGTW and the RTC R1.
Check the wiring of the electric lines of QSRGTW adapter to RTC
R1.
2
Interrupted connection on
the motor reversing contac-
tor unit control’s output.
The problem is signaled in case the QSRGTW adapter detects an
interruption on the electric line between QSRGTW and RTC R1.
Check the wiring of the electric lines of QSRGTW adapter to RTC
R1.
3Problem present on the
QSR* propeller.
The control system of the QSR propeller has detected a problem.

LED ERROR (RED)
NUMBER OF
FLASHING DESCRIPTION
NOTHING No anomaly.
1
High absorption of the actuator during ascent (retractable thruster closing)
Signalling occurs after the system has attempted three ascents in the presence of mechanical friction exceeding the set threshold.
The problem can be caused by a foreign body that entered the mechanism, by the vessel navigating at sustained speed, or by me-
chanical problems of the retractable and relative hatch.
2
Open fuse.
A current absorption exceeding 10A has occurred. The problem can arise from a short circuit or an overload on the actuator power
line. Verify the wiring of the power lines from the board to the actuator or the absorption of the actuator itself.
3
Anomalous end strokes condition.
The problem is signalled when the board detects an anomaly on the end strokes (both activated). Verify the wiring of the power lines
from the board to the limit switches and their functionality.
4
Actuator command line interruption.
The problem is signalled when the board detects an interruption in the command power lines of the actuator. Verify the wiring of
the power lines from the board to the actuator.
5Timeout of actuator’s movement intervention.
The problem is signalled when the movement command given to the actuator is not executed within 15 seconds.
6Mistaken dip-switch setting.
The problem is signalled when the dip-switch positions have not been set correctly.
7
High absorption of the actuator during descent (retractable thruster opening).
Signalling occurs after the system has attempted three descents in the presence of mechanical friction exceeding the set thresh-
old. The problem can be caused by a foreign body that entered the mechanism, by the vessel navigating at sustained speed, or by
mechanical problems of the retractable thruster and relative hatch.
8
High absorption on motor reversing contactor unit control’s output.
The problem is signalled when the board detects a short circuit or an overload on the electric control line of the propeller.
Verify the wiring on the power lines from the board to the propeller and the absorption of the motor reversing contactor unit in-
stalled on the propeller.
9
Activation of the thermal protection on the motor
The problem is notified in case the thermal protection on the motor is tripped.
Wait for the thruster to cool off.
Interrupted connection on the motor reversing contactor unit control’s output3
The problem is signalled when the board detects an interruption on the electric control line of the propeller.
Verify the wiring of the power lines from the board to the motor reversing contactor unit installed on the propeller.
