If the problem is that the voltage delivered from the batteries are too low for the
thruster to be allowed to run, this is shown directly on the display by the battery that
is not delivering being replaced by the alarm sign (see example).
If the issue is something else, the alarm signal will replace the remaining run time
indicator for the thruster / system that is causing the alarm.

SYSTEM
CALIBRATION
Choose to calibrate the “HOLD” function so that bow and stern thrusters
push the boat equally against the dock.
Note! The thruster will be run to perform this adjustment so
Make sure that it is safe to run them.
We advice that you put one fender as close to bow and one as close
to the stern as possible and adjust thrusters so that they push about
equally.
Follow instructions on the screen

> + on the hold button in the desired direction
> Adjust each thruster with their joysticks
LANGUAGE
Choose language by moving stern joystick - English, Norwegian,
German, French, Spanish and Italian.
Please note that on early release software, there might be some details
missing in some languages but Norwegian and English will always be
present.
SYSTEM
Shows all the components on the S-link system. The rst time you
select this menu item, it will rst show “scanning system” for 30 sec-
onds. Then you can see the parts by moving between the bow and stern
thruster screens with the stern joystick.
If you add components to the S-link system you have re-scan it by se-
lecting “Cong” and you will then have to tell the system which thruster
is bow and which is stern by testing with the corresponding joystick and
if it is opposite, press the key marked “Move” in the display.

PANEL SETUP
Follow instructions on screen and the stern joystick to choose and set :
Backlight level : Daytime background light is white and you can choose 5
levels of light
Nightlight : Let you choose between: White, Red, Blue & Green light in
Night mode as well as the light level
Timer Auto Off will let you choose the auto-off timer in the panel
(time from last use until the panel shuts itself and the rest of the thruster
system down).
NOTES!
The audible alarm will only sound when the thrusters are “auto running”
When the expected run time due to motor heat or battery power reduction
is getting within 35% of remaining time it will start sounding a single “bip”,
then two “bips” and three “bips” etc. the closer you get to auto shutdown
In “HOLD” (auto running) both thrusters will shut down when the safe run-
ning of any of the thrusters is reached.
Using the joysticks you can use the “other” thruster even if one is shut
down because of heat, low voltage or other issue.
