Auto configuration
Auto configuration is the EVC system self-identifica-
tion. Auto configuration should be performed when
the system is started for the first time or after system
updates.
IMPORTANT! When using one EVC system
display , the display must be configured as
“TWIN” before auto configuration is performed.
In case of using two EVC system display, the
port display must be configured as “PORT”
and starboard display must be configured as
“STBD” before auto configuration is performed.
NOTE! The EVC system starts to download software
to all tachometers followed by the EVC system dis-
plays.
If the EVC system display has never been used be-
fore “UPLOADING DATABASE” will be presented
when downloading software and all LEDs are off.
If the tachometer has never been used status bars
will be shown on the tachometer display. First the
“SOFTWARE” status bar will be shown and after-
wards the “ICON” status bar.
Additional helm stations
Repeat step 11-15 for each helm station.
Lever calibration
This applies to top mounted, twin in-
stallation
NOTE! The following description applies to
Volvo Penta’s electronic controls.
NOTE! Both levers should be calibrated at the
same time, to give the same lever travel/
positions for both engines.

Calibration of Volvo Penta
propulsion unit positions
The Volvo Penta IPS propulsion unit calibration is
used to align the drive units in a straight position.
This is also described in the ”Installation EVC
EC
-
C3 Electronic Vessel Control, Volvo Penta IPS”.
Joystick docking force
The IPS Docking Force calibration is used when the force moving the boat must be changed.
Both the normal force mode and the high force mode will be changed with the same factor.
Choose between MINIMUM, MEDIUM and MAXIMUM.
Steering mode settings
The setting of the steering mode, that is the IPS propulsion units’ steering
angles, is depending on the properties of the boat hull. The steering angles
influence the turning radius of the boat.
There are three values when setting the steering angles:
MINIMUM, MEDIUM and MAXIMUM.
MAXIMUM steering angle results in the smallest turning radius.
NOTE! Perform a Steering mode setting if needed after sea trial.
