Marine Multi-Station Control System Caterpillar

This procedure is used to set the minimum (idle) and maximum throttle lever positions. The control station that is being calibrated must not be active during the calibration procedure.

Note: If the "Active Station" button is pressed anytime during this procedure will cause the MSC System to abort and no changes will be made to the minimum and maximum throttle position settings.

Test Step 1. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE.

1. Train the heads.

2. Turn the keyswitch ON. Do not activate the station.

3. Move both (Port and Starboard) throttles to the LOW IDLE/NEUTRAL position. The button lights will flash for 5 seconds. Wait for the button lights to stop flashing.

4. Press and hold the SVM button, the SVM light will begin to flash.

5. Move both (Port and Starboard) throttles to the LOW IDLE/FORWARD position.

6. Press the SVM button. The SVM light will stop flashing and stay on steady (no flash).

7. Press the SVM button again, the SVM light will begin to flash.

8. Move both (Port and Starboard) throttles to the FORWARD WIDE OPEN THROTTLE (WOT) position.

9. Press the SVM button, the SVM light will stop flashing and stay on steady (no flash).

10. Move both (Port and Starboard) throttles to the LOW IDLE/REVERSE position.

11. Press the SVM button. The SVM light will stop flashing and stay on steady (no flash).

12. Press the SVM button again, the SVM light will begin to flash.

13. Move both (Port and Starboard) throttles to the REVERSE WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE (WOT) position.

14. Press the SVM button, the SVM light will stop flashing and stay on steady (no flash).

15. Press the SVM button again, the SVM light will turn off.

16. Perform this procedure on all control heads in the vessel. Test the system for any diagnostic codes.

Results:

• OK - The calibration is complete.
