For vessel that comply with the European Marine Equipment
directive, one control unit must be set for Master operation, if
more than one control unit is connected. The other unit(s) is then
automatically set as a “slave”. The system can only be switched
off from the master unit (see also page 37).
If your system is to be wheelmarked you have to answer yes for
Master operation on one of the control units by rotating its
course knob. This applies only to commercial vessels classed to
follow the Marine Directive.
Press the (STBD) button to proceed to the next menu item.
Note ! Whenever boat type or boat length is changed, all steering
parameters will be reset to default values.

This menu option requires the installer to set the Drive unit
voltage to the correct level. The selections are 12V, 24V, or 32V
and should be set to the voltage specified for your drive unit.
Drive engage/bypass clutch output follows the same voltage as
set for the drive unit. This also applies if Drive engage is set to
Auto or Handshake 1 (ref. page 150). It is not possible to select a
higher voltage than the input voltage.
Note ! Selection of an improper voltage level for your drive unit may
damage both the drive unit and junction unit, even if the
protection circuits in the junction unit are activated.
