The panel is suitable for 12V and 24V systems and combines compact installation dimensions with an aluminium front for mounting at the helm station.<\/p>\n<p>The joystick provides easy operation of the bow or stern thruster. When quickly switching to the opposite direction of rotation, the built-in time delay prevents the drive from reversing immediately. This helps reduce unwanted load on the electric motor and drive.<\/p>\n<p>The panel also features various safety functions. Protection against accidental activation helps prevent unintended operation. During prolonged continuous operation, a warning signal is given and the system temporarily switches off. If the panel is not operated for 30 minutes, it switches off automatically.<\/p>\n<h4>Key features and benefits<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Joystick control:<\/strong> For easy operation of a VETUS bow or stern thruster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>12V and 24V:<\/strong> Suitable for electrical systems with both onboard voltages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Built-in time delay:<\/strong> Prevents immediate switching to the opposite direction of rotation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IP66 front:<\/strong> Waterproof front for use at the helm station.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aluminium front:<\/strong> Strong and neat finish for dashboard installation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protection against accidental activation:<\/strong> Helps prevent unintended operation of the bow or stern thruster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuous operation protection:<\/strong> Gives a warning and temporarily switches off during excessively prolonged operation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic switch-off:<\/strong> The panel switches off automatically after 30 minutes without operation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switched output:<\/strong> Can be used for optional control of an additional device.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-proportional control:<\/strong> On\/off operation via the joystick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Specifications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Part number:<\/strong> BPAJ<\/li>\n<li><strong>Purpose:<\/strong> Bow and stern thruster control<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control type:<\/strong> Joystick<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voltage:<\/strong> 12V and 24V<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proportional control:<\/strong> No<\/li>\n<li><strong>Function:<\/strong> Time delay<\/li>\n<li><strong>V-CAN:<\/strong> No<\/li>\n<li><strong>Child safety:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Front material:<\/strong> Aluminium<\/li>\n<li><strong>Front waterproof rating:<\/strong> IP66<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mounting hole:<\/strong> 52 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>External dimensions:<\/strong> approx. 94,5 x 97 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Front thickness:<\/strong> approx. 5 mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installation depth:<\/strong> approx. 89 mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The VETUS BPAJ is a luxury aluminium control panel with joystick for electric VETUS bow and stern thrusters.
