This single thruster controller with a brushed aluminium finish adds a touch of of class to any helm station. Joystick control makes manouvering your vessel exceptionally intuitive.
The controller can be changed (by the use of DIP switches) to
- Introduce a time laps of 1 second before the thruster is engaged in a different direction. This prevents gearbox damage from sudden changes in direction. This feature can be disabled or enabled as required.
- A 2 minute continuous warning with forced shut off. This feature can be enabled to completely switch off the thruster or disabled just to provide an audible alarm warning the skipper of the high thruster usage.
- Automatic switch off of the thruster panel if not used for 30, 60 or 120 minutes. This feature can also be disabled.
Built in protections include
- Temperature safety switch. All electric motors are fitted with a temperature switch. If the motor reports too high a temperature the thruster is automatically switched off to avoid damage. This is relayed to the skipper by means of a LED indicator and buzzer.
- If more than 2 minutes of continuous use is detected. This is accompanied by either a warning buzzer or a buzzer and shutting the thruster off.
Adaptors can be purchased to have more than one controller onboard the vessel.
