Introduction Yacht Controller Dual Band, developed by Micro Device S.r.l., is an electronic wireless remote control, able to easitly control the right and left engines, the bow and the stern thrusters and the anchor winch. The first prototype, was developed in 1998, and since then Yacht Controller has undergone a continuous evolution: in 2003 has been launched the first model, replaced in 2007 by the Evolution (EVO) version. To increase even more the operational safety, in May 2010 has been launched the Dual Band version that exploits two different bands of transmission of the commands and that satisfies the most rigid naval norms in its components. Yacht Controller Dual Band is safe because it uses microprocessors programmed directly in Micro Device S.r.ls laboratory so interferences with passerelas, gangways or anchor radio controls which may be available and in use on the market that, on the contrary use standard electronic components, are impossible. The range of control of Yacht Controllers Transmitter is limited to about ten meters and the transmission protocol, makes interference between the same or different systems working in the same area, impossible. Severe tests made on various types of vessels, have proven the resistance and the reliability of Yacht Controller Dual Band in the marine environment. Moreover, before its launch on the Market, Yacht Controller Dual Band, has been subjected to many laboratory tests in order to further ensure proper operation. IMPORTANT:

Further information concerning the use of the system, are available in the users manual. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 4 Micro Device S.r.l.

General transmitter features On the Yacht Controller Dual Band transmitter there are levers and buttons to control the boat functions as described in figure 2. It is normal that the levers and the buttons of the transmitter correspondent to options not purchased do not work because the receiver is configured just with the electronic boards requested. It is possible anyway to order and install afterwards the options not purchased at the beginning. (see paragraph "Expansion of the system). Each transmitter has an unique code programmed in Factory that is different from the others and selected among over 65.000 combinations. The electronics of the transmitter is contained in a silver colored ABS box that combines ergonomics and functionality with a protection degree IP68. Removing the cover on the back of the transmitter, it is possible to access to the batteries for their replacement. The unit has three bright led indicators:

- The red led placed in the lower part on the left, points out the condition of the battery next to the limits of discharge.

- Two yellow led, one for each band, placed in the lower part on the right, points out the transmission of the control signals toward the receiver.

General features of the Receiver The receiver acquires the commands of the transmitter and activates the functions of the boat accordingly. The command of the outputs occours with the activation of the switches on the transmitter. The output will stay active until the correspondent switch remains pressed and until there is the connection between transmitter and receiver. The transmitter, in fact, cyclically sends the state of the switches to the receiver. In lack of dialogue with the transmitter, for safety reasons, the receiver automatically deactives the outputs and contemporarily activates the acoustic alarm. Thanks to the adoption of a procedure of self-learning, the receiver is able to identify unequivocally and memorize the code of more than one transmitter. In this way it is possible to enable the receiver so that it can accept the commands of different transmitters. It is not possible anyway to carry out contemporary transmissions from several transmitters to activate the same receiver. In fact, the periodic transmissions of the transmitters would affect themselves, causing interferences and contrasting the activation commands of the outputs. The receiver can be switched ON by a switch placed near the helm station. The receiver contains a various number of boards, that depends on the configuration choosen, each of which commands an ouptut. Each board is endowed with green leds that show the state of the command ouptputs and a red led that signals the condition of it (alarm or normal operation). ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 7 Micro Device S.r.l.

Installation environment The receiver MUST be installed far away from devices (i.e. electric engines or electric lines of power) which can produce an electromagnetic field that can disturb the radio signal issued by the transmitter. Therefore it is absolutely forbidden to install the receiver inside the engines room as such environment is subjected to environmental troubles and remarkable change in temperatures. The receiver must be installed NOT LESS than a meter of distance from the compass. DO NOT INSTALL the receiver inside or on the back of a metallic structure (bulkheads or instrumentation) because the metal parts prevent the correct passage of the radio signals. If it is not possible to do otherwise, ask the Retailer, to let you have the model of the receiver equipped with the external aerials. 2.2.

Fax +39.02.66400086 e-mail mdevice@tin.it Normally the receiver must be installed nearby the chosen helm station, which could be in the salon or on the fly according to the habits of the customer. WARNING:

it is compulsory to install the receiver with the aerials upward. If the space nearby of the helm station is insufficient, it is possible to install it in the easier access place, paying anyway attention that the acoustic signal issued by the receiver will have to be perfectly hearable from the helm station; if it was not like that, ask the Retailer the version of the receiver provided with the external acoustic signaller. WARNING:

The length of cables supplied with the connector is approximately 1,5 meters. The extension of these cables can compromise the behaviour of the device with respect to the EMC rules. During the installation, the FORM supplied with the manual, must be filled in every part. In case of need, this will allow the Customer Service, to determine the countermeasures to be undertaken to solve possible problems. IMPORTANT:

Once completed the installation, the receiver could not be accessibile from the user of the transmitter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 11 Micro Device S.r.l.

The installation of Yacht Controller Dual Band with some types of control head needs particular instructions, given as attached to the manual. Before proceeding with the installation therefore, verify the possible presence of enclosures. Identify the cables that from the control head go to the electronic control unit of the engines and connect in parallel to them the cables coming from the receiver (see figure 6). The enclosed document shows the colors used by your specific electronic control unit and the relatives colors used for the related cables. As the Manufacturers sometime modify the colors of the cables, to get further technical information or in case of difficulty in the identification of the cables, contact Micro Device before starting the installation. Pay a lot of attention to the correct identification of the group of command cables of each engine

(right and left). Cable the blue, black and brown wires of the connectors PORT ENGINE and STARBOARD ENGINE to the correspondent ones coming from the control head, as illustrated in figure. Use for this reason the blue connectors supplied in the kit, that allow to make the necessary connections in a simple and a fast way without having to cut the cable coming from the control unit. Once identified the cable to which you have to connect the command wire coming from the connector of connection, insert it in the passing slot of the blue connector, paying attention to insert it completely. Insert then the cable of the "Yacht Controller Dual Band" up to its end in the blind hole of the blue connector and, using a flat plier, crush the colored superior part of the connector so that the metallic part is able to join among them the cables and to establish a safe connection.

If installed correctly, Yacht Controller Dual Band, does not need trims. Once connected and checked the wires, it is possible to proceed with the functional test. First of all, activate Yacht Controller transmitter, following step by step the procedure described here below:

Activate the receiver using the ON/OFF switch (installed on the boat). The activation is signalled by the lighting of the six leds of communication and alarm CPU (see figure 3) for a second. After about three seconds the acoustic signaller of the device will start to emit the acoustic signal of danger indicating that the receiver is operating but it has not established yet the radio connection with the transmitter. Once the receiver is switched ON the red leds of alarm associated to each of the command modules begin to flash, signalling the correct operation of the system. In case of error or malfunction, instead, the red led of the module in alarm will remain turned ON fixed. Turn the transmitter ON, keeping pressed the button more than three seconds (security time to child test). It is moreover possible to switch ON the transmitter immediately pressing contemporarily the ON/OFF button and the engage button. The confirmation of the ignition is given by the fixed activation of the yellow communication LED. ON/OFF button Engage button Figure 14: ON/OFF button of the transmitter. If the operation has had positive result, the acoustic signal of the receiver stops and starts the signal of the engagement. This signal caracterized by a bit about every two seconds means that there is the radio connection between the transmitter and the receiver and that the system, not yet operating, is waiting for the engagement. During this waiting period for the engagement the levers and the buttons are not active yet. In a way to have Yacht Controller Dual Band operating, it is necessary to press twice the engage button within no more than 5 seconds between the first pressure and the second. When the transmitter is waiting for the second pressure, the yellow leds of communication flash in synchronous way. At this point, if the operation has had positive result, the acoustic signal of the receiver stops and the system is completely operating. The two yellow leds of the transmitter flash, signalling the transmission to the receiver on the two bands. Now it is possible to control the engines and in case, the bow and the stern thrusters and the anchor winch, simply pressing the switches of the transmitter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 18 Micro Device S.r.l. Via Bellini, 31/33 20095 Cusano Milanino (MI) ITALY Tel. +39.02.6131001 r.a. Fax +39.02.66400086 e-mail mdevice@tin.it Each activation of the outputs is signalled by the lighting of the correspondent green leds associated to each command modules on the receiver. The red leds of each module, if flashing, they signal the correct operation of it. WARNING:

From now on the system is operating. Pay the maximum attention, as the involuntary pressure of one of the switches or buttons would cause the activation of the related command output. When the transmitter is OFF, the red led of alarm of the receiver is fixed and the acoustic signal is activated. Contrarily, in presence of a correct receipt from the transmitter, the red led of alarm goes OFF, while the green leds of receipt RX1 and RX2 flash. The acoustic signal of the receiver has four states of operation as illustrated in the following scheme. Type of acoustic State of the receiver State of the outputs signal Continuous Beep every two secs Lack of reception from the transmitter. Correct reception from the transmitter but waiting for the engagement. Deactivated Deactivated Absent Correct reception from the transmitter with engagement Enabled A continuos beep of 5 secs followed by a variable number of beeps Receiver on alarm (see chapter troubleshooting). Deactivated the output of the function in alarm, activated the others. IMPORTANT:

The transmitter automatically goes OFF after approximately 4 minutes from the last pressure of a whichever switch or button. Verify the correct directional operation of the bow thruster and of the stern thruster (if installed) with short commands right/left, or of the anchor winch with short commands up/down. If inversions are found in the commands, check the paragraph "Troubleshooting". Following step by step the instructions here below it is possible to test the correct operativity of the commands of the engines:

Ignite the engines following your usual procedure. Enable the helm station of the boat to which the Yacht Controller Dual Band receiver is connected to. DANGER:

TO USE THE SYSTEM YACHT CONTROLLER DUAL BAND IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THE CONTROL HEAD IN NEUTRAL POSITION ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 19 Micro Device S.r.l.

Programming instructions The receiver in the kit is already arranged to receive the commands from the associated transmitter WARNING:

The programming procedure described here must be used only to qualify the receiver for receiving commands from a further transmitter or in case of replacement of the original transmitter. In case of replacement of the original transmitter, before executing the programming procedure, remember to delete the receiver memory (see paragraph 3.1.2). 3.1.1 Programming the receiver In order to work, the receiver, must know which transmitter it can operate with. The procedure to insert the code of the transmitter in the memory of the receiver is the following:

1. With the receiver switched ON, remove the back part of the equipment to access to the electronic. 2. Identify the Dip Switch 1 on the power supply module and CPU (see figure 4) and to position it on "ON" (see figure 15). Figure 15: Programming Dip Switch. 3. 4. The receiver will emit four beeps in sequence while the red led of alarm will flash. Moreover the yellow led showing the passage to the programming procedure of the memory of the receiver , will go ON. If the memory of the receiver is saturated, because two codes have been already memorized, the acoustic signaller will emit ten beeps while the red led of alarm will remain turned on fixed. To be able to insert the code of a new transmitter it will be necessary first to cancel the memory of the receiver. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 21 Micro Device S.r.l. Via Bellini, 31/33 20095 Cusano Milanino (MI) ITALY Tel. +39.02.6131001 r.a. Fax +39.02.66400086 e-mail mdevice@tin.it 5. Turn ON the transmitter that you want to tune in and activate the necessary combination of switches to acquire the code from the receiver. The combination foresees the contemporary activation of two switches: right engine forward and left engine forward. At this point, if the memorization has had success, the red led and the acoustic signaller are activated for a second. Vice versa, if the inserted code is already present in the memory of the receiver, the acoustic signal wil emit eight beeps while the red led of alarm will be activated. Once acquired the code of a transmitter and after the signaling of happened memorization of it, the receiver doesn't accept other codes. To finish the procedure, it is enough to put the Dip Switch 2, OFF. For safety reasons, during the procedure of insertion of the code, the receiver is not qualified for activating the output relay. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 22 Micro Device S.r.l.

Fax +39.02.66400086 e-mail mdevice@tin.it 3.1.2 Cancellation of the receiver memory Sometimes deleting the memory of the receiver is needed. For example, in the case in which the transmitter has been broken or lost, or if the memory of the receiver is full and you want to change the list of the transmitters. The procedure for the cancellation of the memory of the receiver is the following:

1. With the receiver ON, remove the back part of the equipment to access to the electronics. Identify the Dip Switch 6 on the power supply module and CPU (see figure 4) and position it 2.

"ON" (see figure 16). Figure 16: Dip Switch for deleting. 3. The receiver will emit a beep of the duration of four seconds while the red led of alarm and the yellow led of programming will be activated. 4. To finish the procedure of cancellation, it is enough to move the Dip Switch 6 OFF. IMPORTANT:

Before the following use, it is necessary to program the receiver to enable a transmitter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 23 Micro Device S.r.l.

Troubleshooting This section describes some problems and malfunctions that could happen during the installation, with the probable cause and - where possible - the countermeasures to be undertaken for their solution. Problem Possible causes Remedy The receivers does not turn ON. There is no tension to the receiver. The transmitter does not turn ON. There is not power supply on the transmitter. The acoustic signaller of the receiver is always ON. None of the enabled codes in the receiver correspond to the one of the transmitter. Lack of reception from the transmitter. The acoustic signal of the receiver emits some discontinuous signals. The radio transmission is disturbed by radio-frequency sources near the devices. The distance between the receiver and the transmitter has exceeded the range of the transmitter. Check if the receiver has its power supply. Check in the order:

- The tension on the battery.

- The possible presence of interrupted fuses.

- The operativity of the ON/OFF switch.

- The cables polarity. Verify in the order:

- That the batteries and the cover are inserted with the right polarity showed on the back of the transmitter.

- The charge of the batteries. Refer to the pragraph programming procedures.

- The transmitter is OFF

- Possible presence of disturbs on both bands.

- remove, if possible, the source of disturbance.

- if the functionality of the system is compromised, take the manual control again at the helm station.

- - go near the receiver to reduce the distance between the two devices.

- the range of action of the transmitter depends on the charge of the batteries. Check the charge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 28 Micro Device S.r.l.

Invert the connection on the wires coming from the joystick. Invert the connection on the wires coming from the anchor winch. WARNING:

In case of alarm the beeps emitted by the acoustic signaller point out the module responsible of the malfunction (see previous section). Once identified the module, looking at the behavior of the corresponding red led of communication and alarm, it is possible to diagnose the type of malfunction. If the led remains always turned ON or always turned OFF, there is an error of the module, which can be broken or missing. Instead, a continuous lighting of five seconds, followed by a variable number of flashes, points out - according to the number of flashes - one of the following condition of error:

One flash: the time-out of communication with the CPU has been overcome. Two flashes: the output has high current flow. If problems not described here above are found, contact the retailer or directly Micro Devices Technical Support. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yacht Controller 30 Micro Device S.r.l.
