This jog lever is a robust all metal cast bronze construction with stainless steel hardware to
provide a long service life in a marine environment. With the watertight shaft seal and above
panel sealed mounting, this unit can be located anywhere on the boat.
The 4” (100 mm) long handle is a spring-return to center device to provide Non Follow-Up two
speed steering control. Move the handle 30 degrees to engage the first micro switch to activate
a solenoid valve and continue to move the handle another 25 degrees to engage the second
micro switch to activate another solenoid valve. One solenoid valve would provide a normal
rudder speed for course holding, two solenoid valves provide a fast rudder speed for
maneuvering.
Releasing the handle will cause the steering gear to stop. The handle springs back to center
and the steering gear stays in the last position and does not move until you operate the jog
lever. For a trouble free long life operation, an internal extension spring was incorporated rather
than the normal torsional spring.
The jog lever has four 10A micro switches wired N.O. (normally open).
See instructions for full details.
Two steering (directional control) solenoid valves are required, a rudder feedback unit with limits
switches is recommend, but a steering amplifier is not required.
The two-speed jog lever can be used in other marine applications or industrial installations that
require rising, lowering, or left and right motion control. For example, move the handle to the
first micro switch to activate a power unit and continue to move the handle to activate the motion
control.
