Step 1: ICON System Faults
The ICON System exhibits two types of faults: Recoverable and Non-recoverable. ICON System faults are visually indicated by the remote control, the switch panels, the gateway, and the 6-port hub LED’s. ICON System faults are also displayed on the Faults page of Evinrude Diagnostics and on the NMEA 2000 gauges.
Step 2: Recoverable Faults
Recoverable faults are Motion or Over-Current errors which occur on a throttle or shift actuator. A motion error occurs when the ESM is attempting to move an actuator from one position to another, but the actuator does not move. An over-current error occurs when the ESM is moving an actuator and the actuator draws too much current.
When recoverable faults are detected the remote control continues to send shift, throttle, trim, and start/stop commands as normal.
During a recoverable fault, the ICON System:
• Flashes a gear LED of the affected engine one time per second to indicate the gear position command that caused the fault.
• Sends a fault message to the outboard EMM. The EMM then sends a “Check Engine” message to the NMEA 2000 gauges.
• Stops shift or throttle actuator movement at the point where the fault occurred
• Will NOT activate S.A.F.E.
When all control levers are put in NEUTRAL, the ICON System
• Stops flashing the FORWARD and NEUTRAL gear LED’s
• Continues to flash the NEUTRAL LED of the faulty engine one time per second
• Allows shift or throttle actuator movement to continue up to the point where the fault occurred.
| Fault | Cause | Binnacle Control LED’s (flashing) | CSM Remote Control Switch Panel LED (flashing) | Control Lever Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FWD Shift | Motion or over-current error occurred while moving shift actuator from NTL to FWD | FWD | NTL | Move control lever back to NTL |
| REV Shift | Motion or over-current error occurred while moving shift actuator from NTL to REV | REV | NTL | Move control lever back to NTL |
| NTL Shift | Motion or over-current error occurred while moving shift actuator from FWD or REV to NTL | NTL | NTL | Move control lever to original position (FWD or REV) |
| Throttle Movement | Motion or over-current error occurred while moving throttle actuator when in FWD or REV | FWD LED if lever is in FWD REV LED if lever is in REV |
NTL NTL |
Move control lever toward idle and beyond the position where the fault occurred |
Step 3: Non-recoverable Faults
When a non-recoverable fault occurs, the ICON System:
• Flashes all gear position LED’s of the affected engine five times per second
• Sends a fault message to the outboard EMM, which in turn sends a “Check Engine” message to the NMEA 2000 gauges
• Activates S.A.F.E.
• Moves throttle actuators to idle, and shift actuators to NEUTRAL, if they are functional
When all control levers are put in NEUTRAL and all engines are in NEUTRAL-idle, the ICON System:
• Stops flashing the FORWARD and NEUTRAL gear LED’s
• Flashes the NEUTRAL LED of the faulty engine five times per second if the condition is ESM or actuator related
• Turns OFF all gear LED’s of the failed remote control lever, if the fault is lever-related
• Disables the faulty control lever or ESM
• Allows unaffected control levers and ESM’s to operate normally
• Retains SYNC function for non affected engines
If a port control lever has failed, starboard lever becomes the lead for SYNC.
If starboard control lever has failed, port lever becomes the lead for SYNC.
Station transfer is not allowed when a non-recoverable fault is present. The ICON System remains in this state until power is reset.
Operation stops if the control lever fails on a single binnacle or concealed side mount remote control.
