Remote control
Figure 16: Sonobot remote conrtol
The remote control unit was pre-configured for Sonobot operation. The controls are following:
• The On/Off switch (1) turns the remote control unit on/off. Make sure the Autopilot/Manual switch (6) is in Manual
position when you turn the remote control unit on.
• The left stick (2) is the Steering stick - in Manual mode, move it left and right for steering, up for gas forward and
down for gas backward. Once released, the stick jumps back to its original position.
The steering trim function allows you to electronically adjust the centering of the left stick. Use the horizontal and
vertical trim buttons (4) to adjust the original position of the stick, if needed.
• The right stick (3) - the Throttle stick - controls the speed of the Sonobot. The stick stays in position once you
release it. Therefore, the vehicle will move at chosen constant speed without the need to hold the control stick.
After you have set the constant operating speed with the Throttle stick (mind the operating conditions, such as water
currents, waves, wind), you can manually speed up/down by moving the steering stick back and forth, if needed.
Release the left stick to go back to the chosen operating speed.
The throttle trim function allows you to electronically adjust the centering of the right stick. Use the corresponding
trim buttons (5) to center the stick, if needed.
• The Autopilot/Manual switch (6) switches the vehicle between the autopilot (flip to the back) and manual (flip to
the front) control modes. Make sure the switch is in Manual position when you turn the remote control unit on.
• The Trainer switch (7) is for configuration purposes only. Do not use the Trainer switch without consulting Evo-
Logics!
• Other controls of the remote-control unit are disabled. Please refer to the supplied manufacturer’s guide for detailed
information.
