calibrating the joystick function
In docking mode, the boat is maneuvered with the joystick.
Check if the joystick requires calibration by moving the
joystick straight to the side and observing how the boat
moves. If the boat moves directly sideways, the joystick is
properly calibrated and new calibration is not required. If
the boat does not move as desired, the joystick requires
calibration. Calibrate the joystick as follows.
notE! For joystick operator instructions please refer to the
Volvo Penta IPS Operator's manual.
notE! Calibration can only be made from a station with
a joystick and EVC control panels (not from docking sta-
tion) and it only needs to be done in one direction, port or
starboard
WarnIng! When calibrating the joystick the boat
must be operated at open water and under safe con-
ditions. Avoid windy conditions and sea-current.
1. Enable docking mode. Please refer to the Volvo Penta
IPS Operator's manual.
2. Depress the
neutral button on the control panel.
Hold it depressed for approximately 5 seconds. A
sound signal indicates that the system is in calibration
mode. The LEDs above the neutral button starts to
flash and the LED above the docking button (Y) starts
to flash or lights up depending on what EVC version is
installed.
3. Move the joystick sideways to one of its end positions.
Correct the boat's incorrect movement by turning and/
or moving the joystick as illustrated in examples A-D.
notE! Combinations of the examples shown can occur.
notE! Let the boat move for quite a long distance during
the calibration routine. Hold the joystick in position.
4. When the boat is moving directly sideways, depress
the docking button. The new calibration is stored and is
confirmed by a sound signal.
5. Release the joystick. The system is now in normal
docking mode.
Joystick calibration is now complete.
notE: It is always possible to reset the calibration as fol-
lows.
1. Enable docking mode.
2. Depress the
neutral button on the control panel.
Hold it depressed for approximately 5 seconds. A
sound signal indicates that the system is in calibration
mode. The LEDs above the neutral button starts to
flash and the LED above the docking button (Y) starts
to flash or lights up depending on what EVC version is
installed.
3. Depress the
neutral button. Calibration is reset
and is confirmed with a sound signal.
4. The system is now in normal docking mode.
