property damages and product
damages
CAUTION
Risk of injury or property damage due to unsuitable cables
Using unsuitable cables can lead to errors or malfunctions in
the Marex 3D system.
OOnly use cables supplied by AVENTICS. These provide
– EMC shielding
– a perfect data transmission
– safe and tight connections

NOTICE
Risk of property damage due to inadmissible power supply
Using an external power supply for the joystick can cause a
failure of the device. A control of the ship‘s movement might
no longer be possible.
OAlways use the internal power supply of the Marex 3D
controller.
NOTICE
Risk of property damage due to missing terminating
resistors
The CANbus communication does not work if terminating
resistors are not applied. This may result in unexpected ship
behaviour.
OMake sure to connect a terminating resistor at the last
component of the Marex 3D CANbus line, see also fig.4,
CANbus connection Marex 3D controller to Joystick Type
531.

5About this product
5.1Performance description
The Joystick Type 531 is a component of the Marex 3D ship
control system. Mounted at a control panel, it is used to
maneuver a ship intuitively at slow speeds. The operator
presets the heading, rotating angle and speed of the ship by
adjusting the control stick and the rotating control knob. Those
movements are mirrored by the ship which permits to perform
slow speed maneuvers with a high grade of precision and
comfort.
Refer to the 3D manual for a detailed description of the
Joystick Type 531, see chapter 1.2, Required and additional
documentations.

Assembly
7.1Installation conditions
The mounting bolts are suitable for a panel thickness between
2 to 30 mm.
The mounting depth for the electric plugs and connections
below the console or panel is 140 mm approximately.
OInstall the Joystick Type 531 in such a way that its moving
range is not restricted by other components and all
operating and indicating elements are visible and can be
easily operated at all times.
A circumferential sealing is provided around the Joystick
Type 531 to seal its edge to the panel surface.
OMake sure that no bores or gaps in the panel surface are
located in the sealing area as otherwise the tightness of the
panel can not be guaranteed.
OUse an elastic sealant in addition when installing the
Joystick Type 531 on panels which are uneven or have a
rough, structured surface. This prevents the penetration of
water into the panel.
7.1.1Mounting orientation
Always install the joystick in forward direction with the stick
pointing upward.

7.2Mounting
1. Prepare a panel cutout by using the drilling template which
is included in the delivery (fig. 2).
2. For the mounting bolts, drill 4 holes with a diameter of
5.5mm into the panel.
3. Insert the joystick into the opening from above.
4. Use the nuts and washers supplied to mount the Joystick

7.3Connecting the Joystick Type 531
NOTICE
Risk of property damage due to missing terminating
resistors
The CANbus communication does not work if terminating
resistors are not applied. This may result in unexpected ship
behaviour.
OMake sure to connect a terminating resistor at the last
component on each CANbus line, see also fig 4, CANbus
connection Marex 3D controller to Joystick Type 531.
7.3.1Connections
At the bottom of the joystick, two round M12 connectors are
provided for the connection to the Marex 3D controller and other
joysticks.

Proceed as follows to connect the joystick:
1. Make sure that all components are dead before connecting
the joystick.
2. Use the connector X12 at the Marex 3D controller to connect
a CANbus cable M12. Route the other end of the cable to
Joystick Type 531 and connect it to connector X11 from
underneath the control panel (fig. 4).

3. To connect another joystick, apply another CANbus cable to
the connector X12 at the joystick. Route the cable to the next
joystick and connect it to X11. Proceed accordingly to
connect more joysticks if applicable.
Refer to the Marex 3D manual if you want to connect more
than 4 joysticks to the Marex 3D controller.
The maximum cable length from the Marex 3D controller to
the last joystick is 300 m.
4. Apply a torque of 0.4 Nm to fasten the M12 connectors.
5. If no further joysticks are being installed, apply a
terminating resistor (AVENTICS material No. 8941054274)
to X12 at the last joystick.
There is no need to connect a terminating resistor to the
Marex 3D controller as one is already included in the device.
