The system combines the operation of these manoeuvring components in one central joystick, allowing the boat to be manoeuvred precisely from a single control point.<\/p>\n<p>The V-DOCKER uses the combined operation of the main engine, bow thruster and stern thruster to achieve the required movement of the vessel. By moving the joystick, the different systems can be controlled together, reducing the number of separate control actions required during docking and manoeuvring.<\/p>\n<p>According to the supplied product information, the system is suitable for a single mechanically controlled inboard or outboard engine. During operation, the V-DOCKER joystick takes over manoeuvring control from the mechanical throttle control. The set is specifically intended for installations with standard tunnel bow and stern thrusters.<\/p>\n<p>The VDSETT can also be retrofitted to an existing boat. In addition, the system can be expanded with extra joysticks when multiple helm stations are required. The different components are connected via CAN communication.<\/p>\n<h4>Key features and benefits<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Central joystick control:<\/strong> Engine, bow thruster and stern thruster are controlled from a single control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For tunnel bow and stern thrusters:<\/strong> This VDSETT version is specifically intended for standard tunnel thrusters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For one engine:<\/strong> Suitable for a vessel with one mechanically controlled engine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Precise manoeuvring:<\/strong> The combined operation of the engine and thrusters enables controlled movements during docking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CAN communication:<\/strong> The various V-DOCKER components communicate digitally with each other.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple helm stations:<\/strong> The system can be expanded with additional joysticks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suitable for retrofit:<\/strong> Designed for use in both new and existing installations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IP65:<\/strong> According to the supplied specifications, the V-DOCKER system has an IP65 protection rating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Set contents<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>VDJOY:<\/strong> V-DOCKER joystick<\/li>\n<li><strong>VDACT:<\/strong> Actuator for mechanical engine control<\/li>\n<li><strong>BPCANT:<\/strong> CAN termination resistor<\/li>\n<li><strong>BPCANHUB:<\/strong> CAN hub<\/li>\n<li><strong>VDIO:<\/strong> Safety module<\/li>\n<li><strong>BPCABCPC:<\/strong> Power cable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Specifications<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Part number:<\/strong> VDSETT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Product type:<\/strong> V-DOCKER docking system<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessory system:<\/strong> Bow thruster systems<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thruster configuration:<\/strong> Tunnel bow and stern thrusters<\/li>\n<li><strong>Number of main engines:<\/strong> 1<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engine control:<\/strong> Mechanical<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control:<\/strong> Joystick<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communication:<\/strong> CAN<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expandable with multiple joysticks:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Suitable for retrofit:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>System protection rating:<\/strong> IP65<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The VETUS VDSETT is a complete V-DOCKER docking set for boats with one mechanically controlled engine and a combination of tunnel bow thruster and stern thruster.
