| Volvo Penta requirement | |
|---|---|
| System | Volvo Penta Assisted Docking for DPI and IPS (10, 15, 20 and 30); Volvo Penta Joystick Docking for single DPI engine installation |
| Hardware | Part Number 24510291 – CONVERTER, THRUSTER CONTROL MODULE (THCM) |
| Software | Quick proportional thrusters supported from EVC2.0 25W49; THCM software 24972444, loaded from the VMM during an Autoconfig in EVC (the THCM ships with older software). Older boats: update EVC2 with the VODIA aftermarket tool. |
Mounting & Wiring
- Mount near the OEM system's communication control unit, accessible for maintenance, on a smooth, level surface with room above the front for the connectors.
- Fix with 4 flat-head screws under 4 mm (not supplied): Ø 2.5 mm pilot holes in fibreglass, 4 M4 flat-head screws on metal. Do not overtighten.
- At least 25 cm from the compass, 50 cm from radio receivers, 1 m from radio transmitters (except SSB), 2 m from SSB transmitters and the radar beam; cables 1 m from radio signal cables and 2 m from SSB transmitter cables.
- Q NETWORK: plug in the drop cable from the "Q Centric" network (max 5 m).
- OEM NETWORK: plug in the M12 female end of the supplied adapter cable; its other end goes to the Volvo Penta Thruster Control Module P/N 24510291. OEM connector pins: VCC, GND, CAN H, CAN L.
- Check all connections before powering up.
