17.TROUBLE SHOOTING............................................................41
17.1 SYMPTOM: Cannot take control at one (1) station (both Port
and Starboard for twin screw), when the system is initially turned
'ON'. ................................................................................41
17.2 SYMPTOM: One side will not take control when initially
turning 'ON' the system ..........................................................42
17.3 SYMPTOM: The LED blinks at one (1) station when power is
initially turned 'ON' to the controls. Cannot transfer to any other
stations................................................................................43
17.4 SYMPTOM: The LED blinks when the transfer button is
depressed, and continues to blink after released (lever is in the
neutral/idle position). Cannot transfer to this station if another
station was previously in control...............................................43
17.5 SYMPTOM: The engine RPM varies, without moving the
control head lever (synchronization disabled). ............................43
17.6 SYMPTOM: The engine RPM reduces to IDLE, transmission to
NEUTRAL, the control head LED turns 'OFF', and a slow repetitive
tone is heard at all stations after reposi-tioning the control head
lever. ................................................................................44
17.7 SYMPTOM: No audible tone at a control head when power is
initially turned 'ON', but otherwise, works perfectly. ....................45
17.8 SYMPTOM: The control head LED doesn't light when in
control, but everything else works perfectly. ..............................45
17.9 SYMPTOM: Cannot obtain "Warm-up" Mode.....................46
17.10 SYMPTOM: Steady tone is heard from all control stations.
Cannot gain control at any stations...........................................46
17.11 SYMPTOM: No tones or lights at the control head, and no
LEDs lit on the circuit board.....................................................47
17.12 SYMPTOM: Rapid tone at all control stations. ...................47
17.13 SYMPTOM: The engine starts to turn over while starting, and
then stops. A slow repetitive tone is heard from all stations.........48

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The MicroCommander engine control provides single lever operation
of engine speed and shift from one to five remote stations. The
control system operates from a 12, 24, or 32 volt DC battery supply
and in the static condition draws seven watts. Maximum is 160
watts.
The engine speed and shift are sequenced such that the engine
throttle must be at Idle before shift, and shift must then be
completed before the engine throttle will advance.
The connection to the engine throttle and clutch is through standard
Type 33C push-pull cables. (Reference Section 11.)
The MicroCommander Engine Control offers an option to add
automatic engine synchronization and trolling valve control.
Sections 18. and 19. of this manual explains operation, installation,
and adjustments of these options.
Requirements:
•Throttle or clutch selector lever load should not exceed 40 lbs.
(18kg).
•MicroCommander Engine Controls require a reliable battery
source of 12 to 32 volts DC.
•The DC power required is to be supplied through a 10 ampere
circuit breaker. (One for each Actuator)
CAUTION: Avoid using the starting battery on 12 volt systems, if possible. A dedicated
battery for MicroCommander and other electronic equipment is recommended.
Do not use a power converter or battery charger without a battery.
