Calibration and Operation

Once installation of the SST System is complete, use the EIC to bleed the system by holding down the “BOW DOWN” position for
15 seconds, then “BOW UP” for 15-20 seconds. Repeat 3 times. This will purge air from the system. Then place both tabs in the “full
down” position and check all hydraulic connections for leaks. Bring the tabs to the full UP position and check the fluid level. Add ATF if
necessary. Also check for leaks in the “UP” position.

Calibration

NOTE: Calibration must be done at the Lower Helm EIC Display

1.

The port and starboard

red

LEDs will flash alternately, indicating that the system is not

calibrated.

2.

Press and hold the “sun” and “moon” buttons on the Lower Helm EIC Display

simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. Both the port and starboard lower

yellow

LEDs

will begin to flash. Release the “sun” and “moon” buttons.

3.

Using the Lower Helm EIC Display, run both trim tabs to the full down position

(BOW DOWN on the control). Make sure the tabs go all the way DOWN by holding the buttons

for at least 15 seconds. (Holding the buttons after the tabs are down will not harm the system).

4.

A few seconds after the tabs are all the way down the port and starboard upper

yellow

LEDs will begin flashing. Again, using

the Lower Helm EIC Display, run both tabs to the full up position (BOW UP on the control). Make sure the tabs come all the

way UP by holding the buttons for at least 15 seconds.

5.

The upper and lower

yellow

LEDs will then light up solidly, indicating that the EIC is calibrated and ready to operate. If you

wish to recalibrate the EIC at any time, simply bring the tabs to the full up position, press and hold the “sun” and “moon”

buttons down and repeat the calibration instructions.

Operation

The intensity of the display LEDs may be adjusted by pressing the “sun” button to brighten and the “moon” button to dim the display.

EIC Display Diagnostic Information

Port and starboard

red

LEDs alternately flash: EIC requires calibration. Refer to calibration information above.

Upper

yellow

LED flashes on port or starboard side: Indicates the EIC Display is not receiving a sensor signal. If the port upper

yellow

LED flashes the fault is in the port sensor or wires. A flashing

yellow

LED on the starboard side would indicate a fault on the

starboard sensor or wires. Switching the sensor connections on the EIC Relay Module will confirm the diagnostic code if the flashing LEDs
switch sides. If the problem switched sides, check the suspected faulty actuator with an Ohm meter at the EIC sensor cable plug. The
reading should be in the 220-260 Ohm range. If the sensor readings are good, check for faulty connections (corrosion or broken wires).
