A word about the Symbols used in the Manual


When driving from one destination to another, road signs prove to be invaluable. Road signs are an important source of
information. For example, road signs can warn you about potential problems ahead to help divert certain disaster or they
can let you know where to turn off for a rest or a meal.

In an effort to help you navigate your way through this manual we will from time to time use the following symbols:

Throughout the manual the NOTES symbol will appear to support what has been mentioned in the text. A
note can be used where further explanation is needed or where something needs highlighting. BE CAREFUL
to read all NOTES.

Sometimes it is helpful to take a break and really absorb what you just read. The WARNING symbol will alert
the reader to information that needs to be completely understood before you continue on in the reading of the
manual. ALWAYS STOP and READ these points.

The TIP symbol will be used when something mentioned in the text need more “light” shed on it. The tip could
explain or be a list of do’s and don’ts. Whatever the TIP is, you do not want to miss out on the information it
contains.
Section 1.0 — System Description & Capabilities 1
1.0 System Description & Capabilities
With the advent of electronically controlled engines in the marine industry, GLENDINNING has developed the Complete
Controls System to be compatible with all types of electronically & mechanically governed engines and will provide the boat
operator with total control over the boat’s propulsion system. The Complete Control System incorporates the following stan-
dard features:

 Single lever control from up to 6 control stations — Single lever control permits gear and throttle control using a sin-
gle control lever. The Complete Controls control processor correctly sequences the operation of engine and transmis-
sion, so that the engine and transmission are protected during shifting at up to 6 separate helm control stations. Only
one station is in control of the propulsion plant at any time.
 Adjustable control head detent / friction settings — This feature allows for the setting of the control head detent and
/or friction quickly and easily while underway, without disassembling the control head!
 “Posi-lock” gear lockout — A dedicated button (WARM) is provided to lockout the gear and allows engine RPM to
be increased safely.
 Battery voltage warning indicator — Our system alerts you when either too low or too high voltage exists. The con-
trol system will continue to operate as long as possible, within the limits of its operating voltage.
 System diagnostic warning indicator — The Complete Controls System monitors many parameters and notifies you
when conditions fall outside suitable operating range.
 Neutral gear position indicating lights —
You know that the transmission has shifted into neutral gear with this visual gear position indicator.
 Two button station transfer — No more accidental transfer of control from one station to another. Our system’s TAKE
button must be depressed twice in order to transfer control from one station to another.
 Control Head Lights Dimmer — This featue allows the LED brightness on the control head keypad to be dimmed
for night operation.

In addition to these standard features, the Complete Controls system includes the following optional features that are avail-
able with the upgraded 4-button control head:

 Adjustable control head detent / friction settings — This feature allows for the setting of the control head detent and
/or friction quickly and easily while underway, without disassembling the control head!
 High idle mode — Up to 10 idle speeds are available and can be adjusted through system calibration.
 Bump mode — Want to make minute adjustments in engine speed (approx. 10-15 RPM)? Simply press the WARM
or TROLL buttons!
 Slow mode — Limits maximum RPM available to approximately 50% of normal WOT. Very useful for manuevering
or slow speed cruising (SLOW).
 Gear position indicating lights —
You know that the transmission has shifted into the appropriate gear with this visual gear position indicator.
 Control head light dimmer — Bright lights are great for daylight conditions, but can be distracting at night. This fea-
ture allows you to dim the control head lights for each station individually.

1.1 System Components


The Complete Control System consists of 4 separate components. They are:

Control Head
The Control Head is by far the most informative control head in the industry today. The control head keypad has integrat-
ed switches and indicator lights which allow the boat operator to control all aspects of the boat’s propulsion system.

Robust, watertight construction is a hallmark at Glendinning — we build our control heads to withstand the extreme condi-
tions that exist in the marine environment.

Smart Actuator II™ Smart


Actuator II™
The electromechanical actuators convert the electronic com-
mands that are generated by the control head into specific posi-
tions at the engine gear, throttle and trolling valve. The actua-
tors are housed in rugged, corrosion resistant, aluminum enclo-
sures that are sealed to eliminate problems which may be
caused by exposure to the marine environment. The actuator
motor drive assembly uses precision ground steel gears and
components that are manufactured to very precise tolerances.
Combined with a high frequency pulse width modulation (PWM)
input, the actuator is able to resolve a linear position of less
than 0.010 inch very smoothly with no “steps.”

Station Communication Cables


Glendinning’s station communication cables are pre-terminated at the factory for ease of installation, and are completely
shielded to eliminate problems caused by electromagnetic interference, complying with the latest and strictest standards in
the industry. Both ends of the station communication cable has a connector which is identical on either end—no mistakes
when it comes to plugging in the cable!

2.7 Station Transfer Process


The Complete Control System allows the propulsion system control to be transferred from one control station to another
control station. This process requires the operator to depress the ACTIVE (2-button keypads) or TAKE button (4-button key-
pads) twice in order for the transfer to take effect thus avoiding any inadvertent transfers from taking place without the boat
operator’s knowledge.

To transfer control follow these steps from the helm station where you want to take control:

If the system remains in Alarm Mode after restarting the system, the operator should investigate the cause of the alarm
(see Section 6.0 — Troubleshooting Mode). For vessels equipped with the optional backup system, this investigation may
take place upon arrival at your destination. For boats NOT EQUIPPED with the optional backup system it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED that the boat be securely tied at the dock, or the vessel should be in a safe place (free from shipping
lanes) PRIOR to investigation of alarm codes.
Section 2.0 — Operating the Smart Actuator II™ 13
3.0 Installing the Smart Actuator II™
Installing the Smart Actuator II™ is simple and easy. It is always important that proper care be given when installing any
equipment on board your vessel. It is always a wise practice before cutting into the ship’s interior to follow the old adage
“measure twice, cut (or drill) once!”

The installation process includes the following:


Section 3.1 — Pre-installation Planning
Section 3.2 — Engine Compartment — Mount the Smart Actuator II™s
Section 3.3 — Engine Compartment — Control Cable Connections
Section 3.4 — Engine Compartment — Electrical Connections
Section 3.5 — Mounting the Control Head

3.1 Pre-installation Planning


Before beginning the installation of the Glendinning Smart Actuator II™, proper consideration and pre-planning should be
given to several very important parts of the control system. Proper planning of the installation will help to insure that the
Smart Actuator II™ system will operate correctly and within specification. Failing to properly plan out the installation may
decrease the reliability of the system. The following are the most important things to consider in planning. Close attention
should be given to these issues:

 Smart Actuator II™ Location

Operational Clearances —The primary factor in choosing a location


for the actuators is finding a location that results in the shortest,
most direct path for the push-pull cable that connects the actua-
tor(s) to the transmission and/or engine governor. In general, for
engines where the control cable travels aft from the engine gover-
nor / throttle lever, the throttle actuator will be mounted in the aft
(114mm)
4.50 in

section of the engine room. Conversely, for engines where the con-
trol cable heads forward from the engine governor lever, the actua-
tor will be mounted toward the forward end of the engine room. The
)

Smart Actuator II™(s) should NOT be mounted on the engine. In

general, the length of the control cable from the actuator(s) to the

5 in

feet and 180 total degrees of bend. (Longer lengths may be used
after review and approval of the physical layout of the product installation by Glendinning Marine Products).

One reason why a short cable to the engine governor is critical has to do with engine synchronization. In order to accu-
rately synchronize one engine to the other, it is necessary to position the governor with an accuracy of less than five thou-
sandths (0.005") of an inch. Any unnecessary bend in the control cable to the governor lever, or using a cable that is longer
than necessary, will result in lost motion between the actuator and engine, causing a reduction in synchronization accura-
cy.

Environmental conditions —The Smart Actuator(s) should be mounted in an area that is relatively dry and not excessively
hot. Although the electronic components are reasonably well-sealed from moisture, the product enclosure is not designed
for constant, direct contact with water. Since the longevity of electronic components is reduced in high temperature envi-
ronments it is best to find an area of the engine compartment that is not exposed to temperature extremes. The Smart
Actuator(s) has been designed for installation in the engine compartment, and should be mounted where there is some air
movement or ventilation.

Accessibility — During system calibration or troubleshooting, it will be necessary for the installer or repair technician to have
access to the connection points of the Smart Actuator(s). In view of this, the Smart Actuator should be mounted in a rela-
tively accessible area.
14 Smart Actuator II™ Manual — software version 3.7

 Power Supply / Enable Switch

In the installation of any electronic device, the source of power is one of the most important factors to consider during the
installation. The Complete Control System has a unique and very reliable power supply system which, if the system is prop-
erly installed, greatly improves the overall reliability of the engine control system.

distribution system is
designed to take power Dual Battery Input
from a single battery
source and then distrib-
ute it to the various Battery Ground
equipment that require
power. Although the
Smart Actuator(s) can be
powered off the DC dis-
tribution panel, this is
NOT RECOMMENDED
because it is not able to provide for the supply of power from 2 independent sources to any single device. In other boats,
several batteries are arranged in parallel. Obviously, these batteries are not independent—that is, the voltage observed at
one battery terminal will be the same at the other battery terminal. It is important that each battery source be completely
independent of the other.

Power Source to Smart Actuator(s) Must be Uninterrupted—It cannot be overemphasized that providing a secure, uninter-
rupted source of power to the Smart Actuator II™ is vitally important to the reliable operation of the control system. For this
reason, it is best that the power be drawn as close as possible to the battery positive terminal, without having various com-
ponents which may interrupt the flow of current to the control system.

Circuit Protection / Enable Switch—Per the ABYC guidelines, some type of current protection—circuit breaker or fuse—
must be installed within 7 inches (17cm) of the connection to the source of power. It is very important to understand that
circuit protection is installed for the protection of the wire, not the Smart Actuator II™. The Smart Actuator II™ has its own
internal current protection and does not need any external fuse. However, the wire which connects the Smart Actuator II™
to the boat power must be protected in case of chafing or other damage. In order to not limit power to the sytem during nor-
mal operation, a minimum 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker must be installed (if a 30 amp fuse or circuit breaker are used,
then it is necessary that 10 AWG wire, or larger, is used to connect the Smart Actuator II™ to its power source). Since the
fuse or circuit breaker is physically located in the engine compartment, it would be extremely inconvenient to require the
boat operator to have to go to the engine compartment to start-up the Complete Control system each time the boat oper-
ator wishes to use the boat. For this reason, Glendinning has allowed for two ways to start-up the system: 1) the installa-
tion of an enable switch which allows the boat operator to remotely turn ON or OFF the Complete Control system from the
helm station. When the enable switch is used, the Smart Actuator II™ circuit protection is typically left in the ON position.
The enable switch only requires a small (2 conductor, 18 gauge) wire to be run from the engine compartment to the helm
station. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE ENABLE SWITCH—The purpose of the enable switch is only to open or close
the circuit which allows power to be applied to the control system. 2) the installation to ignition power inputs which allows
the system to be activated when turning the engine keyswitches to the ON position.

Battery Ground—The dual battery system requires that the battery positive terminals be at roughly the same voltage. In
order for the battery positive terminals to be at the same voltage, it is necessary that the negative terminals of the batter-
Section 3.0 — Installing the Smart Actuator II™ 15
ies be connected at some common point. This is normal marine electrical practice and is specified in the ABYC guidelines.
Prior to the final electrical hookup of the Complete Control system, the installer should verify that the battery ground termi-
nals are connected at some common point.

 Station Communications Cable / Network Installations

The Complete Control System utilizes CANbus technology to communicate between the
Smart Actuator II™ and the Control Station(s). Simply put, the CAN(Controller Area
Network)bus network consists of a series of devices connected by a single wire routed
throughout the boat. Station communication connects each system component sequen-
tially which minimizes cable runs and lengths. At each end of the bus network a CANbus
terminator (terminating resistor) must be connected in order for the system to perform
correctly.
Terminating Resistor
Station Communication Cable Routing—When routing Station Cables it is advisable to
inspect the route and make sure surfaces are free of any sharp edges or burrs which
could nick the cable and compromise the reliability of the system.
Connectors are pre-terminated at the factory and should NEVER be forced into their proper recepticle. Make sure that the
connector is properly aligned prior to insertion into the recepticle. If the connector is properly aligned, only a small amount
of force will be necessary to insert the connector into the Smart Actuator II™ or Control Head. Failure to properly align con-
nector may damage the pins and cause the system to fail.
Connectors are one of the most important parts of the Complete Control system. Keep connectors covered and clean dur-
ing installation. Most problems occur due to bad connections.

release
cable locks
NOTE
In some cases, sufficient over-travel will not be able to be obtained even
with adjustment of the cable clamp holder. This is caused by the connec-
tion point on the engine or transmission lever (normally called the pivot
pin) being too far away from the shaft that the lever is connected to. In
these cases, the pivot pin will have to be moved closer to the shaft (the “fulcrum point”) in order to shorten the pivot pin
travel. This will give you the correct over-travel required. The recommended length of travel of the control lever pivot pin
should be approximately 2-1/2” to 2-3/4”.

C. Compare the travel of each control cable to its associated lever at the transmission and engine. Ensure that
each control cable has "over-travel" or that the cable is able to travel farther than the lever that it will be attached to. Check
this for both ends of travel. If the control cable will not "over-travel" in both directions, adjustments will have to be made:

 If 1/4” or less adjustment is required, the terminal eye on the end of the cable may be screwed on or off the
cable end. Ball joint thread engagement on the control cable end must never be less than 1/4”.

 If more than 1/4” inch adjustment is necessary to achieve correct over-travel, the cable clamp position on the
engine or transmission will have to be moved.

Once correct control cable over-travel is verified, connect the terminal eye of each control cable to the engine governor /
throttle and transmission lever and install the pivot pin cotter pins or clips. Tighten the control cable terminal eye jam nuts.

D. After the control cable terminal eyes are attached to the control levers on the engine governor and transmission,
measure the amount of travel for each control cable. Do this measurement at the actuator end of the control cable. (This
is the distance that the cable will travel when the engine or transmission control lever is moved from one mechanical stop
to the other. Record the information below - this information is needed in order to determine the correct cable connection
on the Actuator coupler plates.

E. Mount the engine / transmission control cables to the actuator by removing the two screws that hold the locking
clamp in place. Make sure that the control cables are seated properly in the mounting location and replace the locking
clamp and screws.

F. Select the correct Actuator cable lever connection hole to be used, depending on length of control cable travel.

G. Move the ball joint ball pin on Actuator plate to the correct actuator travel.

H. Adjust control cable terminal prior to attaching to Actuator coupler plate. Leave the control cables disconnected
until you are ready to proceed with Smart Actuator II™ Calibration (Section 4.0).

DC instead of 12V DC.


ENABLE / TACH DC POWER

The Glendinning Smart Actuator II™ system is equipped with a sophisticated


power management system that allows it to receive power from two (2) independ-
ent batteries (normally the port and starboard engine start batteries). In normal
operation, the Smart Actuator II™ will receive power from both battery sources, DC Power Input
taking power from each battery proportionate to the voltage from level available. Harness Connection
In the event of loss or reduction of voltage from one battery source, such as dur-
ing engine start, the Smart Actuator II™ system will continue to function normal- Bonding
ly by receiving power from the other battery with normal voltage. Wire Stud

1) Connect the Smart Actuator II™ DC Power Harness (supplied) to two (2) independent battery sources, (normally the port
and starboard engine start batteries). On the positive side of these two runs, install a 15 amp circuit breaker near each bat-
tery or power source (follow ABYC standards which require a circuit protection device within 7” of the wire connection to
the power source — NOTE: If the total wire run is longer than 15 feet from the battery to the Control Processor, install an
approved junction box that the DC Power Cable may be connected to).

2) Make sure that the breakers are in the OFF position and then connect the “DC Power” to the Control Processor where
indicated (see Sec. 7.1-Wiring Diagrams).

3) Run a bonding wire (#12 AWG, green jacket) from the Smart Actuator II™ bonding stud (1/4”), located on the connector
side of the unit, to the vessel’s bonding strip.

B. Remote Enable Switch


While the boat is tied up at the dock and not in use, it is recommended that the
Smart Actuator II™ system be turned OFF. Since power is normally supplied
directly to the Smart Actuator II™ from power sources in the engine room, turn-
ing power ON and OFF in the engine room may be difficult to do each time the
STATION STATION TRIM / TILT START
INTERLOCK

system is started up. For this reason, Glendinning provides two methods for the
ENABLE / TACH DC POWER

start-up of the Smart Actuator II™: 1) a Remote Enable Switch is available for
use with the Smart Actuator II™ control system. This enable switch allows power
to the system to be turned ON or OFF at the Main station; or 2) the installation to
ignition power inputs which allows the system to be activated when turning the
engine keyswitches to the ON position.
Remote Enable Switch
The Smart Actuator II™ System Enable Switch is installed as follows: Harness Connection

1. Make sure the circuit breakers that control the power to the Smart Actuator II™is turned OFF before starting this instal-
lation.

2. Install a Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) switch in the instrument panel. GMP has a switch/nameplate assembly
designed for this purpose. The switch features a locking rocker that eliminates inadvertant activation of the switch. NOTE:
If installing a switch other than GMP’s, locate the switch in an area where it will not be inadvertantly turned OFF during
Section 3.0 — Installing the Smart Actuator II™ 19
operation.

3. Connect switch to harness provided.


NOTE: Do not connect an indicator light to the remote enable switch connections.
NOTE: A “jumper” can be installed in the place of wires on the connector at Smart Actuator II™. Power may then be turned
OFF and ON by using the 15 amp breakers installed at battery input.

C. Start Interlock
The Smart Actuator II™ system includes a “start interlock” safety feature — this
feature verifies that the transmission control lever is in Neutral prior to starting the
engines. In order to utilize this product feature, the signal wire from the helm sta-
STATION STATION TRIM / TILT START

tion start switch to the engine starter solenoid must be intercepted and run through
INTERLOCK
ENABLE / TACH DC POWER

the control switches within the Control Processor.

To install the Start Interlock system:

1) Connect the Smart Actuator II™ Start Interlock Harness (supplied) to the appro-
priate connector labeled “Start Interlock” on the Smart Actuator II™. Start Interlock Harness
Connection
2) Route these wires to the engine distribution box and connect using appropriate
connectors (see Sec. 7.1 - Wiring diagrams).

D. Tachometer Inputs
There are four ways to provide RPM information to the Smart Actuator II™ system. This information is used by the system
during engine synchronization.

1) Open Loop Sync — when the system is running WITHOUT RPM information being supplied to the Smart
Actuator II™, the system will try to match handle position as accurately as possible during SYNC Mode. This accuracy will
largely depend on how well cable adjustments are made during installation of the control cables. When the SYNC Mode is
activated using Open Loop Sync, the SYNC LED will be flashing continually.

2) Magnetic Pickup Interface (MPI) — the


Magnetic Pickup Interface is a magnetic sensor that is

the use of a special harness. The RPM information is then


used by the Smart Actuator during engine synchronization.

Follow the instructions below for installation of the


Magnetic Pickup Interface (MAKE SURE ENGINE WILL Fig. 1

Step 1 — Drill or tap a hole in the flywheel


housing (IMPORTANT: Drilling too deep may damage ring
gear teeth. Blow chips with air hose when drilling and tap-

Section 3.0 — Installing the Smart Actuator II™ 21
inductive loads or alternating current). Ground the shield to a metal frame ground at the engine end only. BE CAREFUL to
observe correct polarity when installing these wires onto the barrier strip of the MPI Box (Fig. 2).

Step 3 — Install the 12-pin Deutsch connector to the Enable / Tach plug on the PORT Smart Actuator II™.
Push the connector all the way in until you hear an audible click.

Step 4 — Install the white “jumper” wire from the 12-pin Enable connector to the STBD Enable connector
using a butt connector.

3) Tach Senders — Installation of the tachometer senders is


relatively straightforward. The following points should be considered:

• Only tachometer senders that are supplied by GMP are to be


used with the Smart Actuator II™ system.

• On engines equipped with mechanical tachometer outlets,


such as Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar 3208, MAN, etc. the tach senders
may be directly connected to the tachometer outlet on the engine. The
tach senders that are supplied by GMP are “in-line” senders; that is,
they may be installed between the engine tachometer connection and
any other tachometer senders or tachometer drive cables that are
attached to that tachometer connection.

• On engines that are not equipped with a tach sender outlet,


such as Volvo Diesel or any gasoline engine, a mechanical tachometer
adapter will have to be used.

• The tach senders must be driven at a speed that corresponds to 1/2 engine speed. This is normal on most
engines that have mechanical tachometer outlets or that use a mechanical drive adapter. On some engines, it may be pos-
sible to drive the tach sender at 1:1 or even twice engine speed. If this is done, the Engine Processor will be damaged due
to excessive voltage output from the tach sender.
To check for excessive tach sender speed, set your meter on frequency or hertz, verify that at full open the frequency is
no larger than 5000 hz. (If you cannot check frequency , check the voltage from the tach sender while the engine is run-
ning at full speed. No more than 18 VAC should be present at the tachometer sender terminals.)

Wiring the Tachometer Senders to the Smart Actuator II™:


Connect the Black and Black w/ red stripe wires from the Tachometer Sender to the Smart Actuator II™ PORT Harness
/ Electric Gear Enable Harness / or the Center Engine Harness (see pgs. 48-49, & 52). DO NOT CONNECT ANYTHING
ELSE to these wires ( the other wires, yellow and red, may be used to drive other tachometers and related equipment).

4) Direct Connection — in some applications (such as outboards, etc.) the RPM signal may be picked up direct-
ly from the tachometer. Contact GMP for specific applications and instructions.

E. Station Communication Cable Connections


Review comments made in Pre-Installation Planning, paragraph 12, for determining proper routing of cables. Cables are
manufactured in 20’ increments and are available from 20 - 120 feet.

When routing and connecting station communication cables, BE SURE TO DO THE FOLLOWING:

 Use a terminating resistor at each end of the bus.


 Align the cables before connecting them to the proper connector on the Control Head and/or Smart
Actuator II™(s).

before inserting Cable Connections

It is VERY IMPORTANT that the Station Communication cable nut be connected tightly. The nut
requires 6-7 turns to completely connect it, and there should be no more than a 2mm (1/16 inch)
gap between the nut and the connector — see diagram below.

WARNING: Failure to follow the instructions above will result in errat-


ic system performance.
1/16"

Station cables MUST NOT be spliced or shortened in the field. Cutting


or nicking the cable will compromise the reliability of the system!

F. Solenoid Gear Interface Box (optional)


The Solenoid Gear Interface Box communicates information necessary for the control of the Smart Actuator II™(s) and your
boat’s solenoid controlled transmissions. The components of the Solenoid Gear Interface Box are:

Interconnect
— DC Power Harness DC Power
Harness
— Gear Harnesses (Port & Starboard) Harness
— Start Interlock Harness
— Interconnect Harness

Installation of the Solenoid Gear Interface Box is very easy


and requires two main steps. They are:

STEP 1: Mount the Interface Box near the Smart Actuator II™
using (4) screws. An ideal location would be next to the Smart
Actuator II™ directly under the control cables as they leave
the Actuator.

STEP 2: Connect the various harnesses (see below):

a. DC Power Harness — The DC power harness for


the Smart Actuator II™ comes equipped with two connectors. PORT & STBD Start Interlock
One connector plugs into the proper recepticle on the Smart Gear Harnesses Harness
Actuator II™. The other connector plugs into the appropriate
labeled recepticle on the Solenoid Gear Interface Box (order PN 11601-02).
b. Gear Harnesses — One end of the the Port and Starboard Gear Harnesses is connected to the Solenoid Gear
Interface Box in the properly labeled recepticles. The other end is connected to the appropriate (Port or Starboard) gear
solenoid on your engines.
Section 3.0 — Installing the Smart Actuator II™ 23
c. Start Interlock Harness — The Start Interlock Harness should be connected to the appropriate labelled con-
nector on the Interface Box and the engine starter solenoid.

d. Interconnect Harness — Normally 1’ long, this cable connects to the 6 position connector on the Smart Actuator
II™ and the Solenoid Gear Interface Box.

3.5 Mounting the Control Head


One of the most important factors in selecting control head locations is the ability to control the vessel by allowing FULL
movement of the control head handles. The area around the control head should have proper drainage to eliminate stand-
ing water. Although the control heads are sealed to withstand damage from exposure to moisture, they are not designed to
be submerged.

There are two types of control heads available with the Smart Actuator II™ system — they are the CP control head and the
remote station control head. Both the CP and remote station control heads perform all functions necessary for the control
of your boat’s propulsion system. The CP control head also includes the necessary components built-in for communica-
tion between all control stations along the CANbus network and the Smart Actuator II™. For single station applications you
will only need the CP control head. For multiple station applications you are required to have (1) one CP control head and
the other control heads may be the remote station control heads.

REFER TO APPENDIX FOR DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS FOR ALL TYPES OF CONTROL HEADS. Allow an additional
2.0 inches of clearance below control head for the insertion of station communication cables or terminating resistors.

STEP 1: Mark the location for the Control Head using the template provided (see Sec. 7.2 -Dimensional Drawings / Cutout
Templates ). Cut the 3-3/8” x 4-7/8” hole.

STEP 2: Place the Control Head assembly into the cutout. The Control Head clamps, which hold the control head against
the console, have a break off point indicated by a perforation. For consoles 1/4” to 1” thickness, use bracket as supplied.
For 3/4” to 1-5/8” thickness, break off clamp at 3/4” break off point.

STEP 3: Install Control Head clamps and tighten wing nuts provided. Make sure Control Head is firmly mounted to con-
sole.

NOTE: 10.5 inches clearance needed for


operation of control handles

NOTE: Allow additional 2” of clearance below


all control head types for the insertion of
cable connections and/or terminating resistor
(shown)

See Appendix for dimensional drawings for


different control head types

3.6 Integrated Trim Control (optional)

A. Description
One of the key features of the Glendinning Smart Actuator
II™ Control system is the Integrated Trim Control (ITC™)
option. The ITC™ option features CANbus connections CONTROL HEAD
for easy integration into an existing Smart Actuator II™ ROCKER SWITCH
system.

In essence, the Smart Actuator II™ control system permits


control of the trim / tilt of the engine’s drive unit through
electronic signals sent from the operation of the dedicated TRIM CONTROL
switches on the control head. KEYPAD BUTTONS

Trim control is obtained by one of two methods:

Control Head Handle Rocker Switch — by far the easi-


est way to control your trim is by utilizing the built-in rock-
er switch on the control head’s handle. When in operation,
simply depress the switch either up or down to affect
BOTH PORT and STBD side trim.

Dedicated Control Head Keypad Buttons — dedicated


buttons on the ITC keypad allow you to set each engine’s
trim individually. Pressing the PORT trim button only
affects PORT side trim. Pressing the STBD trim button
affects STBD side trim.

B. Operation
Under normal operations, the gear and throttle are con-
trolled by the movement of the control head handles and KEYPAD DETAIL

keypad button presses. Operational functions of the key-


pad buttons are the same as the 2-button Control Head
keypad (see Section 2.0 - Operating the Smart Actuator).

When more or less trim is desired, the operator will press


the rocker switch on the control head handle in the appropri-
ate direction. Both PORT and STBD trim will move to the
corresponding movement of the trim control switch.
TRIM / TILT CONTROL BUTTONS
If more precise, individual trim of each side is desired, press
and release the trim control buttons on the ITC keypad in the
appropriate direction (UP or DWN). Trim control may take place when the boat is in gear and above IDLE.

C. Installation
There are two steps for installation of the ITC™ control system. They are:

1) Install the ITC™ Control Head


2) Connect the ITC™ Harness to the Smart Actuator II™ and your boat’s trim system components.
26 Smart Actuator II™ Manual — software version 3.6

1) INSTALL THE ITC™ CONTROL HEAD — One of the most important factors in selecting control head locations is the
ability to control the vessel by allowing FULL movement of the control head handles. The area around the control head
should have proper drainage to eliminate standing water. Although the control heads are sealed to withstand damage from
exposure to moisture, they are not designed to be submerged.

STEP 1: Mark the location for the Control Head using the template
provided (see Sec. 7.2 -Dimensional Drawings / Cutout Templates).
Cut the 3-3/8” x 4-7/8” hole.

STEP 2: Place the Control Head assembly into the cutout. The
Control Head clamps, which hold the control head against the con-
sole, have a break off point indicated by a perforation. For consoles
1/4” to 1” thickness, use bracket as supplied. For 3/4” to 1-5/8” thick-
ness, break off clamp at 3/4” break off point.

STEP 3: Install Control Head clamps and tighten wing nuts provid-
ed. Make sure Control Head is firmly mounted to console.

NOTE: In order for each Control Head to communicate with the Smart
Actuator II™, each Control Head must have a unique Handle Identifier. If
you purchased a complete system, configuration and handle identification
was performed by the factory. If you purchased a control head separate-
ly, you will NEED to set the handle identifier for that control station. Follow
the instructions in Section 7.4 — Setting Handle ID.

2) CONNECT THE ITC™ HARNESS — The ITC™ Harness relays the signal from the control head switches to the trim
motor. Insert the connector end of the ITC™ harness into the appropriately labeled connector on the Smart Actuator II™
until you hear an audible “click”. Using the correct connectors for your type of trim motor connection, attached the other
end of the harness to your trim pump.

4.0 Smart Actuator II™ Endpoint Calibration
The Smart Actuator II™ Endpoint Calibration Mode allows you to change settings for the Smart Actuator II™ so that it will
perform correctly with the boat’s propulsion system. The Smart Actuator II™ Endpoint Calibration Mode is in two sections:

Section 4.1 — Calibrating the Actuator Endpoints & Cable Directions


Section 4.2 — Setting the Cable Direction only (if endpoints have already been calibrated and only cable direction
needs changing).

DO NOT CONNECT PUSH - PULL CABLES TO THE ACTUATORS


PRIOR TO CALIBRATING ACTUATOR ENDPOINTS AND CABLE DIRECTION!

The Smart Actuator II™ receives electronic impulses from the Fig. 1
control head which moves the actuator plates into a posiiton
where the associated engine’s gear or throttle control lever has Actuator
reached its mechanical stop position (endpoints) — see Figure 1. Coupler Plate
Calibration of the Smart Actuator II™ endpoints is necessary to is moved to
ensure that the engine achieves idle speed or full throttle when mechanical
moved by the Smart Actuator II™. stop position
(endpoint).
It is important to find the proper balance between the control
cable position being “too loose” and not reaching its endpoint

SELECT
position (and therefore the engine not achieving idle speed or full

MENU/OPT
throttle), and the cable being set up “too tight” and constantly
operating in a compressed or stretched condition when moving to
its endpoint of travel. Calibrating the Smart Actuator II™ with this
proper balance will yield trouble-free operation of your engine’s
propulsion system.

To calibrate the actuator endpoints it will be necessary for you to


follow the instructions in the chart (Section 4.1) on the following
pages.

Prior to configuration of the Smart Actuator II™, it is vital to determine the actual direction of travel of the control cables that
connect to the engine governor and transmission control levers. Circle the appropriate direction on the charts below:

4.2 Endpoint Calibration Verification


Upon completion of the Endpoint Calibration procedure, it is advisable that the operation of the Smart Actuator II™ system
be inspected to verify that each engine throttle and transmission lever is being properly moved in the correct direction and
through the full range of travel. Failure to do this can cause gear / transmission failure if the gear control lever is not
moved into it's correct position.

The following points should be kept in mind when verifying actuator position and operation:
Direction of travel - The location of engine idle and full throttle, gear ahead and astern, and troll valve lock-
up / slip should be considered to ensure that the actuator is moving the engine and gear controls in the
appropriate direction.
Actuator endpoint - The actuator should move its associated control lever to the mechanical stop without placing
undue strain on the control cable or control lever.
Control lever detent position - When position the gear lever or trolling valve lever, it may be helpful to disconnect the
push-pull cable from the lever and move the control lever independently from the system.

A suggested verification procedure follows:

1. Take control at any station that is convenient for good communication between the engine room and helm station.

2. With the station control levers (port and starboard) in the neutral position, verify the following for both engines and
transmissions:
Engine governor - Idle position (mechanical stop)
Gear control lever - Neutral position
Trolling valve (if installed) - Lockup position (troll valve closed)

3. Move the station control levers (port and starboard) to the ahead detent position. Verify that both gear control levers
have moved to the ahead position and that the control cable is not binding.

4. Move the station control lever (port and starboard) to the astern detent position. Verify that both transmission levers
have moved to the astern position and that the control cable is not binding.

5. Move the station control lever (port and starboard) to the full ahead and full astern positions. Verify that both engine
governors are at the full throttle (mechanical stop) position and that the control cable is not binding.

6. Move the station control lever (port and starboard) to the neutral position. Verify that both engine governors are at the
idle (mechanical stop) position and that the control cable is not binding.

7. (Troll valve equipped boats only) - Move the station control lever (port and starboard) to the neutral position. Press
and release the troll switch on the control. Troll switch light will illuminate indicating that troll mode is energized. Verify that
both troll actuators have moved to troll valve open position and that the control cable is not binding.

8. (Troll valve equipped boats only) - Move the station control lever (port and starboard) to the full throttle position. Verify
that both troll actuators have moved toward lockup position, but have not moved into the detented lock-up position and that

9. (Troll valve equipped boats only) - Move the station control lever (port and starboard) to the neutral position. Press and
release the troll switch on the control. Troll switch light will go out indicating that troll mode is off and that normal gear /
throttle operation is available.. Verify that both troll actuators have returned to the lockup position and that the control
cable is not binding.

After performing the Endpoint Calibration Verification, if you find that one actuator position needs to be changed, refer to
the beginning of the Endpoint Calibration section and follow the instructions to re-calibrate the actuator endpoints.

This completes the calibration procedure. The electronic engine control system is now fully operational and ready for use.
Section 5.0 — System Test & Checkout 31
5.0 System Test & Checkout
System test and checkout consists of 2 steps:

1) Component installation checks — verify that the components appear to be correctly mounted and installed.
2) Operational tests — make sure the system is operating correctly.

5.1 Component Installation Checks


A. Actuators
1.1 Verify Actuator(s) is securely fastened to boat structure.

1.2 Verify electrical power connections:

Battery Negatives—Negatives from both batteries should be connected (not at Control Processor. It is vital
that there be zero voltage potential between battery negative terminals. Battery negative terminals should be
connected to Bonding system also.

Negative Lead—Negative wire from Smart Actuator II™ system is connected to single battery negative.

Positive Leads—Power should be connected from Battery positive terminal or disconnect switch (battery side
of switch) to CP via 15 amp fuse / circuit breaker.
Check that all battery connections are tight.
Verify that Bonding Wire is properly connected to Bonding studs (see sec. 3.6).

1.3 Verify that all connectors are properly inserted into their recepticles (Station Cables, Transmission Cables,
Throttle Cables, and Troll Cables). DO NOT FORCE connectors into recepticles!. All wires should be secured
with tie-wraps along route.

B. Control Head(s)
2.1 Verify Control Head(s) are securely fastened to boat structure.

2.2 Verify that Control Handles have an unobstructed freedom of movement (full ahead and full reverse).

2.3 Return all handles to NEUTRAL.

5.2 Operational Checks

A. General Functions
NOTE: While performing system checks, verify that the “Check System” LED stays OFF. If it comes ON, the system is in
Alarm Mode (see Sec. 2.9 ) and alarm condition must be checked and corrected before proceeding.
32 Smart Actuator II™ Manual — software version 3.7

B. Start Interlock
3.1 Turn System ON (see sec. 2.1).

3.2 Verify at the main station various functions: Warm up, Slow, Troll, Sync.

3.3 Transfer control to other stations (see sec. 2.7) and verify proper operation of functions at each station.

C. Power Inputs
4.1 Move Starboard Control Handle out of NEUTRAL position. Attempt to start engine. (NOTE: Be prepared to
immediately shutdown engine if start interlock has been wired incorrectly!)

4.2 Engine should NOT start; if it does, start interlock has not been wired correctly. Fix wiring and re-check.

4.3 Move Starbord Control Handle back to NEUTRAL position. After handle is moved to NEUTRAL position, then
try to start engine. Engine should start.

4.4 Perform same check for Port engine.

D. Engine Room Checks

5.1 To verify separate power inputs, turn ON individual breakers one at a time and verify that DC power (12 or 24
VDC) is supplied to the Control Processor.

E. Trolling Valves (if equipped)

6.1 Gear Operation — Verify that transmission solenoid valves are turning ON and OFF as you move Control
Handles into and out of gear. Make sure that transmission shifts into appropriate direction — pushing handle
forward causes forward boat motion, etc.

7.3 Sidemount Controls Installation (optional)

A. Sidemount Handle Control Assembly


Before installing the Sidemount Control Head Assembly consider:

There are 3 types of mounting options for the installation of Sidemount


Controls.The major differences between these types of mounting options are the outside appearance of the console, and
the difficulty of installation.

Mounting Option Ease of Installation Description

Bezel on the Outside of Console Simple A bezel and the sidemount control handle are visible on
the exterior of the console

Bezel on the Inside of the Console Hard Bezel installed on the inside of the console, offers the
most professional appearance with the control handle
only being seen on the exterior of the console

No Bezel Difficult Control Head shaft and handle are visible on the exterior
of the console

 Outside Console Bezel Mounting

STEP 1: Determine location of bezel hole in console by placing bezel on outside of


console where desired and mark the 1-1/4” hole and the 1/4” clearance holes, (see
figure 8) (NOTE: Clearance for control head needs to be determined on inside of
console before cutting holes; Make sure to use the correct control head mechanism
PORT or STBD when planning the hole locator. Notice location of friction control Bezel
Flange
adjustment screws in respect to console placement!).

STEP 2: Use 1-1/4” hole saw to cut center hole and drill 17/64” holes for outside flange mounting (see figure 9).

STEP 3: Place outside flange in 1-1/4” hole and place inside flange
over small diameter of outside flange on inside of console. Tighten
Figure 8 Figure 9
flanges together with 1/4” x 20 flat head screws (see figure 10) (NOTE:
Depending on console thickness, a small diameter of outside flange
and 1/4” x 20 flat head screws may need to be shortened).

STEP 4: Once Outside Flange and Inside Flange are mounted, install
(3) #10 flat head wood screws through Inside Flange. This will hold the
Inside Flange in place in case of removal in the future (see figure 11)
(NOTE: Wood screws should not be longer than the thickness of the
console). Figure 10 Figure 11
STEP 5: Install the Control Head mechanism in flange (see figure 12)
(NOTE: The control heads are marked Port and Stb.; Adjustment
screws should face forward).

STEP 6: Establish the desired control head angle according to the


clearance in the console (see figure 13).
64 Smart Actuator II™ Manual — software version 3.6

STEP 7: Threaded rod with ball joints are to be attached to head and
Figure 12
console at this point (see figure 13) (NOTE: Angle of 90 degrees is
best for most support).

STEP 8: Install control handle and key (where applicable) and tighten
set screw down to mark shaft. Fine alignment of handles may be
adjusted by shortening or lengthening threaded rod (see figure 14) Figure 13
(NOTE: Shaft end play between handle and console should be less
than 1/8” [see figure 15]).
Figure 14 Figure 15
STEP 9: Remove set screw and handle and divot shaft using same
size drill as the set screw.

STEP 10: Reinstall control handle and use two set screws, on top of
each other.

 Inside Console Bezel Mounting

STEP 1: To determine location of inside bezel mount, caution should be exercised to ensure proper placement of bezel
prior to cutting hole in the console (NOTE: This is determined by the clearance of the control head on the inside of the con-
sole).

STEP 2: Using the “inner bezel” as a template, trace the 1-1/4” center hole onto the inside wall of the console (see figure
16).

STEP 3: Cut out the 1-1/4” center hole and drill (3) #10 starter holes being careful NOT to drill through the wall of the con-
sole.

STEP 4: Place inner bezel onto the outer bezel shaft and insert assembly into the 1-1/4” cutout hole. Tighten (3) #10 wood
screws into flange where indicated (see figure 17) (NOTE: make sure to use screw lengths that DO NOT exceed the thick-
ness of the console).
Figure 16 Figure 17
STEP 5: Bezel outside of console can now be marked flush so the
excess can be removed. This allows no bezel to be seen on outside
of console. Remove bezel from console. Remove red bushing from
inside of bezel and trim bezel.

STEP 6: Reinstall red bushing in bezel and insert bezel into hole in
console. Tighten (3) #10 wood screws into flange where indicated
(see figure 18) (NOTE: make sure to use screw lengths that DO NOT
exceed the thickness of the console). Figure 18

STEP 7: Install the control head shaft into the flange assembly.

STEP 8: Establish the desired control head angle according to the


clearance in the console.
Figure 19
STEP 9: Threaded rod with ball joints are to be attached to head and
console at this point (NOTE: Angle of 90 degrees is best for most support) (see figure 19).
Figure 20
STEP 10: Install control handle and key (where applicable) and tighten set screw down to mark
shaft. Fine alignment of handles may be adjusted by shortening or lengthening threaded rod
(NOTE: Shaft end play between handle and console should be less than 1/8”) (see figure 20).

STEP 11: Remove set screw and handle and divot shaft using same size drill as the set screw.
Section 7.0 — Appendix / Reference 65
STEP 12: Reinstall control handle and use two set screws, on top of each other.

To mount control handles without Bezel mounting kit:

STEP 1: The control head has one face opposite handle shaft with 1/4 threaded holes to mount to inside face of console.

STEP 2: The 1/4 threaded holes can also be used to mount the control head to a bracket of your design, to attach head
to some other locations in console.

STEP 3: When method of mounting is determined, keep a these things in mind—The length of shaft outside of console
and the free movement of the shaft.

B. Sidemount Keypad Assembly


Before mounting the Sidemount Keypad Assembly, inspect
the surface that the Keypad is to be mounted to. It should be
flat and reasonably strong enough to support the Keypad
securely.

STEP 1: Mark the location for the Keypad Assembly using


the full size template (see page 59). Cut the 1-3/4” x 4” key-
pad assembly cutout.

STEP 2: Insert the connection cable from the Sidemount


Control Handle pod and the Station Cable (that leads to the
Control Processor) through the console cutout and attach to
the keypad assembly. The control head pods are marked
PORT and STBD and must be installed in the proper connec-
tor.

STEP 3: Install Control Head clamps and tighten wing nuts provided. Make sure Keypad Assembly is firmly mounted to
console.

7.5.18 Maximum Dynamic Gear Delay Options


The Dynamic Gear Delay Option allows you to remain in gear for an amount of time when the system goes from the throt-
tle range to neutral. The amount of time the gear shift delays depends on the throttle commanded level and how long you
were at that level. The total gear delay is the sum of the dynamic gear delay and the fixed gear delay (see Sec. 7.5.5).

7.6 Actuator Functional Configuration
F YOU PURCHASED A COMPLETE SYSTEM, ACTUATOR FUNCTIONAL CONFIGURATION WAS PERFORMED AT
THE FACTORY. ALL THAT IS NEEDED BY THE INSTALLER IS TO CALIBRATE THE ACTUATOR ENDPOINTS AND
CABLE DIRECTION — SEE SECTION 4.0.

If you purchased an Actuator separately, you may need to configure the Smart Actuator II™ by following the procedures
below to achieve the desired configuration for your system. The configuration of the Smart Actuator II™ is divided into
five sections. Two of the sections, setting actuator cable direction for actuators 1 and 2 have been discussed in detail in
Section 4.0. In this section we will discuss the remaining 3, which are:

— Setting the Actuator Default Configuration


— Setting the Actuator Identifier
— Setting the Tachometer Pulses / Revolution (PPR)

In order to enter the configuration mode you must follow the steps below:

7.7 Triple Engine Applications (optional)

A. Description
The Smart Actuator System is able to control the throttles and transmissions for multiple engine applications. The control
head handle is designed and programmed to control three engines from 2 handles. In order for the Smart Actuator System
to control multiple engines, an additional Smart Actuator must also be installed (see layout drawing following this section).

B. Operation
When installed properly, the PORT engine control handle controls the port engine – functioning in the same way as a stan-
dard control. The STBD (starboard) engine control handle controls the starboard engine – functioning in the same way as
a standard control.

PORT and STBD Engine Control:

After proper installation, the PORT engine control handle controls the PORT engine — functioning in the same way as a
standard control. The STBD engine control handle controls the starboard engine — functioning in the same way as a stan-
dard control

CENTER Engine Control:

For gear shift, the center engine is put into gear by moving BOTH the PORT and STBD engines into the same gear.

• If the PORT engine goes into gear, but the STBD engine is in Neutral or in the opposite gear (during maneuvering), then
the CENTER engine stays in Neutral.

• If the STBD engine goes into gear, but the PORT engine is in Neutral or in the opposite gear (during maneuvering), then
the CENTER engine stays in Neutral.

• However, if BOTH the PORT and STBD engine are placed into the same gear (either ahead or reverse), then the CEN-
TER engine will respond the same way and shift into the same gear position as the PORT and STBD engine.

For throttle control, the engine speed of the CENTER engine will be the same as the lowest speed of either the PORT or
STBD engine.

While in WARM mode, the center engine will respond the same way as above. However, the gear on all the
engines will not respond while in WARM mode – all engines will remain in neutral.

Triple Engine Activation Switches

The position of the switches on the control panel at the helm station will determine which of the engines will respond to the
control head. If all of the switches are in the ON position, then the engines will respond as described above. If any of the
switches on the control panel are in the OFF position, then the engine associated with that switch will remain in the neu-
tral / idle control position – the engine will not go into gear, it will not speed up.

If the center engine is turned off, then it will remain in neutral, while the port and starboard engines respond normally. If
either the port or starboard engine switch are turned off, then the center engine will be controlled by the PORT or STBD
control handle (whichever button is turned off). If ONLY the center engine switch is on, then the center engine will be con-
trolled by the starboard handle.

The control system will only respond to a change in the switch position when the control handles are in neu-
tral. Manipulating the switches while the engines are in gear will have no effect, until after the control han-
dles are returned to neutral.
