decrease in upper left corner, which indicates servo movement to decrease throttle. This is helpful
at BETA testing stage to confirm correct operation.
Note –MPH and KPH speed options are available –change thru menu.
Note –Current SPEED setting will be saved when entering menu. Upon next startup –unit will
default to saved Speed value. There is also a separate line item in menu.
Menu:
SteadyPass has single menu with setting for acceleration and
response rate, time zone, cylinder and default speed settings.
To enter and to exit menu –press and hold control knob for
about 5 seconds.
Min Throttle (max servo) –position of servo fully
extended. This adds maximum slack to throttle linkage –
and so drops throttle by maximum amount
Max Throttle(min servo) –default, “no action” position of
device. When all set correctly –with device powered on
and mechanical throttle control at idle –engine should
not exceed idle RPM. But there should be no extra slack.
TEST servo: use this to test servo setting, and especially
–test installation to make sure Bowden cable and linkage
is moving freely without stalls.
Servo mode: for custom reverse action installation
(typically not used)
Engine Cylinders –multiplier for RPM calculation,
typically set number of cylinders on your engine.
Time zone offset –set your time zone to display local
time as calculated from GPS acquired GMT time.
Startup Target Speed: Value that unit will use on
startup next time. Current value (before entering
menu) is automatically saved and show.
Unit of measure: MPH or KPH
Temp Sensor: Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit
Contrast: LCD setting. Typically not used.
Coefficients: Proportional , Integral, Derivative –part of
PID routine. We are working on tuning manual
oProportional –helps boat to reach target
speed.
oIntegral –helps to even out overshoot and undershoot.
oDerivative –last to adjust, helps to minimize oscillations after reaching target speed.
oWhen in doubt –use defaults.
