5.1 Performance description

The control head actuates the throttle and gear box of the boat’s

propulsion system including related special functions such as

speed synchronization.

In addition, the control head provides keys and LEDs to take the

command over and signal and acknowledge malfunctions.

The component includes a wireless LAN-module which permits

a wireless information exchange with other devices.

The control head is a component of Marex ECS. Depending

on the software some of the functions which are described

in these assembly instructions may not be supported.

5.2 Product description

All versions of the Control Head Type 500-ECS are available for

single and twin engine operation. Single and twin versions have

basically the same design.There is only a minor difference in the

English

With the single control head version, the levers form one handle

which - when moved- transmits only one signal to control

throttle and gearbox.

The twin control head version provides two levers each of which

is used to actuate independently of the other the throttle and

transmission direction of one propulsion side, port or starboard.

It is possible to synchronize the speeds of the port and

starboard engines automatically by pressing a corresponding

key.
