The system combines control of the engine and both thrusters in one central joystick, allowing the vessel to be controlled from a single operating point during manoeuvring.<\/p>\n<p>By combining the main engine, bow thruster and stern thruster, the V-DOCKER can distribute the required forces across the vessel. A movement of the joystick is translated by the system into the required operation of these components. This means the user does not have to operate the throttle control, bow thruster and stern thruster separately while docking.<\/p>\n<p>The VDSETR is specifically intended for installations with retractable bow and stern thrusters. For standard tunnel thrusters, the VDSETT version is intended. According to the supplied product information, the V-DOCKER system can be combined with one mechanically controlled inboard or outboard engine.<\/p>\n<p>The system is suitable for retrofit installation and can be expanded with multiple joystick positions when the vessel has several helm stations. The various components communicate via CAN connections. According to the supplied information, the V-DOCKER system has an IP65 rating.<\/p>\n<h4>Key features and benefits<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For retractable thrusters:<\/strong> Specifically configured for a retractable bow thruster and stern thruster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Central joystick control:<\/strong> Combines engine, bow thruster and stern thruster in one control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For one engine:<\/strong> Suitable for a vessel with one mechanically controlled main engine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Precise manoeuvring:<\/strong> The propulsion systems are controlled together for controlled movements during docking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CAN communication:<\/strong> Digital communication between the various V-DOCKER components.<\/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 to also be installed retrospectively in existing boats.<\/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> VDSETR<\/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> Retractable 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 VDSETR is a complete V-DOCKER docking set for boats with one mechanically controlled engine in combination with a retractable bow thruster and stern thruster.
