2.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2.1 System Description

SeaStar i7700 is an electromechanical system that replaces a traditional cable-operated engine remote control with an electronic control. Shift and throttle settings are sent over a serial data network to electro-mechanical actuators, where they are converted to cable motion. The elimination of mechanical cables to the control head simpliﬁes multi-station installations, especially when a station is installed onto a ﬂybridge or tower that is removed for shipping. The system supports the installation of up to three control heads.

The i7700 system consists of the major components listed below.

CAN Network

CAN (controller area network) is a serial network protocol that is widely used in marine and automotive control systems. Each device (node) on the network can send and receive data using specially formatted messages. The ability to reliably communicate data between devices is what enables the functionality of i7700.

i7700 implements the high-speed CAN protocol using DeviceNet harnesses and connectors. We refer to the network as CAN2 in the documentation to distinguish it from other CAN protocols used on SeaStar products.

Control Head

The control head looks much like a conventional mechanical remote control, but it is an electromechanical device that converts lever position into digital messages that are sent over CAN2 to the shift and throttle actuators. The control head features adjustable lever feel, status lights, a synchronous trim switch (optional), and control buttons for added functionality.

Shift and Throttle Actuator

The actuators are electromechanical devices that receive digital commands on the CAN2 network and convert these commands into movement of a mechanical cable for gear selection and throttle control.

3.0 SYSTEM OPERATION

3.1 Before Each Use

WARNING

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF BOAT CONTROL, LEADING TO POSSIBLE EJECTION FROM VESSEL; CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH.

1. Check your steering system.

If your vessel has a hydraulic steering system, ensure that the

ﬂuid level is correct. Check that the steering responds immediately and correctly when you turn the steering wheel(s), and that the hydraulic hoses move freely through the range without snags or hang-ups.

2. Inspect all and mechanical cables and electrical harnesses for wear, kinks, or damage.

Check all electrical harnesses and mechanical cabling for

abrasion, wear, rubbing or chaﬁng. Check that all connections are tight and free of corrosion.

Check for binding, loose or worn shift/throttle control components.

3.

Check all shift and throttle cables and harnesses for signs of wear,

damage or chaﬁng. Check that all linkages and cables move freely and are not binding or corroded.

4. Verify proper shift and throttle response for all control levers.

Check that all shift and throttle levers operate freely and cause the

engines to shift accordingly. Put the engines in neutral idle mode and conﬁrm that the throttle responds correctly and returns to idle.

5. Verify that no faults or warnings are indicated on the Shift and Throttle Control Head.

LEDs on the control head indicate that there is a

Rapidly ﬂashing

Warning or Danger fault. Refer to section 4 for more information.

DO NOT OPERATE THE BOAT IF ANY COMPONENT IS NOT IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THE FULL SYSTEM INSPECTION BE REVIEWED ON A REGULAR BASIS TO RETAIN FAMILIARITY.

3.2 First Time Use

Before starting the engines for the ﬁrst time, familiarize yourself with the shift and throttle controls and the features described in section

3.3. With the engines and control system off, move the control

levers over the full range until you are familiar with the feel. The lever feel can be adjusted if desired. See section 3.3.3.

3.3 Control Head Operation

WARNING

BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN FIRST ENGAGING THE GEARS TO ESTABLISH THAT FORWARD IS TRULY FORWARD AND REVERSE IS TRULY REVERSE. A QUICK IN-AND-OUT OF GEAR TEST IS RECOMMENDED. ENSURE THAT THE BOAT IS CLEAR OF ALL OBSTACLES FORWARD AND AFT BEFORE CONDUCTING THIS TEST.

The control head is the user interface for shift and throttle control. There are two types of control head used with the i7700 system: single lever (STM), used on single-engine applications, and dual lever (DTM), used on multi-engine applications. Both types of control head are top-mounted; a side-mount single lever control head is not available for the i7700 system.

The i7700 Quick Reference Guide provides a summary of the control head operation and should be kept on the vessel at all times.

Station Selection and Station Select Protection

The way in which you activate a control station depends on whether the Station Select Protection (SSP) feature has been enabled. SSP prevents unauthorized or inadvertent activation of a control head and can only be enabled by an authorized dealer. By default, SSP is not enabled.

SSP Not Enabled (Default)

On single station boats the control head is always active when the ignition is on, but on multi-station boats the control head must be activated. This can be done in two ways:

• the Smart Select feature will automatically activate a control head if the levers are moved out of the neutral position. This feature only works when the ignition is ﬁrst turned on.

• the control head can be manually activated using the SEL button (STM control heads) or the Take Command button (DTM control heads) with the lever(s) in neutral.

An active control head is indicated by an LED lamp: solid amber (STM) or solid blue (DTM).

SSP Enabled

When SSP is enabled there is no automatic activation of control heads. A speciﬁc sequence of button presses is always required to activate a control head.

WARNING

Dual lever control head:

1. Press Take Command twice.

2. Press N once.

3. Press Take Command again.

4. If the blue light turns on solid the station is active.

5. If the blue light ﬂashes, match the lever position with the originally

active station and the blue light will go solid to indicate that the transfer has been completed.

Single lever control head:

1. Press SEL twice.

2. Press N once.

3. Press SEL again.

4. If the amber light turns on solid the station is active.

5. If the amber light ﬂashes, match the lever position with the

originally active station and the amber light will go solid to indicate that the transfer has been completed.

UNTIL THE BLUE (DTM) OR AMBER (STM) LIGHT IS ON SOLID, THE ORIGINAL ACTIVE STATION RETAINS CONTROL OF THE SHIFT AND THROTTLE.

3.3.5

Two - L ever Sy n c

When enabled on a dual lever control, this feature will synchronize engine speeds on multiple engines when both levers are in forward gear and within 5% throttle of each other.

The feature requires engine RPM feedback (not all vessels will be so equipped) and can only be enabled or disabled by an authorized dealer. Contact your dealer to determine if your vessel has this feature enabled.

4.0 SYSTEM FAULTS & HAZARDS

Should a fault occur, it will be communicated to the user though the control head LEDs. Section 4.1 deﬁnes the types of hazards you may experience with the system and how the system will handle each.

NOTICE

When a serious fault occurs, consider your options. While the system has many features to allow the boat to return to port in a slow and safe manner, local conditions or operator skills may dictate that calling for assistance is the prudent thing to do.

4.1 Hazard Deﬁnitions

4.1.1 Danger

A danger fault is a critical system fault which will result in limited or no shift and throttle performance and requires immediate action.

Depending on the nature of the fault a variety of conditions might occur all designed to provide the safest situation for returning to port. Some examples are:

• Shift and throttle control may be unavailable for all engines.

• The shift and/or throttle may require manual override (section 4.2).

Indication

Dual lever control: both neutral indicator lamps will ﬂash red quickly (5 times per second) until the levers are moved to neutral. When the levers are in neutral the red lamp will ﬂash on the faulted side only.

Single lever control: Both the amber and green lamps will ﬂash quickly.

4.1.2 Warning

A warning is a non-critical system fault which may cause the boat speed to be reduced.

Although a warning fault may not always adversely affect shift and throttle performance, it is an indication of a problem in the system and should be remedied. In some cases the fault can be reset by cycling the system power, but it may require attention from a certiﬁed technician.

Indication

Dual lever control: the blue Take Command lamp will ﬂash quickly (5 times per second).

Single lever control: The amber lamp will ﬂash quickly.

4.2 Manual Override

WARNING

MANUAL OVERRIDE OF SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROLS MAY SEVERELY LIMIT YOUR BOAT CONTROL. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN AN EMERGENCY, AND IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. ALWAYS WEAR A PFD AND LANYARD.

Engaging the Actuator(s)

Using the actuator override system may severely limit your boat’s control. It should be used in an emergency if you are unable to call for assistance. Always try alternative controlling devices. Proceed with extreme caution, read User’s Manual, always wear a PFD and lanyard.

1. Leave engine running. Do not key off when attempting to engage manual override. Allow actuator to remain in disabled state. Do not operate controls while attempting to manual override. Crank mechanism poses pinch hazard at all times.

2. Remove cover.

3. On shift control mechanism, remove cotter pin (A) and slide eye

terminal off post. Pull or push control cable (B) into desired gear.

4. Conﬁrm desired gear is engaged before applying throttle.

5. On throttle control mechanism, remove cotter pin and slide eye

terminal off post.

6. Very slowly pull or push control cable to increase ‘+’ rpm. No more than 1” or 25mm should be required.

7. Key off ignition to slow and stop vessel

NOTICE

If the lever cannot be rotated it is likely the fault is in the engine not the control system.

CAUTION

Use extreme care when overriding neutral start protection. Only use this feature if the actuator has failed and the actuator’s manual override has been used to place the engine in neutral.

A. COTTER PIN

B. CONTROL CABLE

Figure 4-1. Actuator manual override.

Neutral Start Protrection Override

In the event that an actuator fails in gear the neutral start protection function of the i7700 actuator can be overridden. To override neutral start protection depress the “N” button on the control head, hold it for 5 seconds and then start the engine with the button still depressed. Once the “N” button is no longer depressed the override of the neutral start protect function is no longer active.
