Adjusting parameters Adjustable parameters

Transfer Under Way

Vodia text: "TransferUnderWay". This parameter is used to activate the Transfer Under Way mode which makes it possible to change the active station while gear is engaged. This function has to be activated in the PCU using the VODIA tool. This will affect all helm stations in the actual drive line, which means up to four possible HCUs (per drive line). Activated for a PCU (MID 787).

The VODIA diagnostic tool can be used to adjust EVC-parameters. This is done with the "Parameter programming" tool in the "Service and maintenance" menu. VODIA is a Volvo Penta special tool. Complete tool part no. is 3838619. Once you have established contact with the system, you have to choose type of engine and there after the specific ECU (Engine Control Unit) in the drop down menu to show its adjustable parameters. VODIA only shows the adjustable prameters for one ECU at a time and only for an HCU if it is in Service mode. To enter Service mode, press the MULTIFUNCTION BUTTON for at least 5 sec. NOTE! Some of the parameters may require special authorization. More information about handling the VODIA tool is given in the VODIA Operator’s Manual.

Classified engine

Vodia text: "Classified engine". This parameter is used to change the engine alarm function. Activated for a PCU (MID187).

Volvo Penta Lowspeed

There are three adjustable parameters in the Volvo Penta lowspeed function: - Maximum slip factor for VP Lowspeed

Vodia text: "MaxLowspeedSlip" - Maximum slip factor for VP trolling

Vodia text: "MaxTrollingSlip" - Upper lever limit for slip function at forward

Vodia text: "LeverFwdZeroSlip" - Upper lever limit for slip function at reverse.

Vodia text: "LeverRevZeroSlip" - Sets the gear ratio for the reverse gear.

Vodia text: "Gear ratio". - VP Lowspeed mode at startup

Vodia text: "Low speed default setting"

Neutral beep

Vodia text: "NeutralBIP". This parameter makes it possible to activate or deactivate the fuction that gives a "beep" sound when the control lever is set to NEUTRAL position. The function is possible to activate individually for the helms (HCUs). When the function is desirable on all helms, you have to activate it in the PCU by using the VODIA tool. This will affect all helm stations in the actual drive line, which means up to four possible HCUs (per drive line). Activated for a PCU (MID 187).

Transom angle (drive DPH/DPR)

Vodia text: "Transom angle". This parameter is used to adjust the transom angle estimated for the boat by the EVC system. Adjustment can be done without correcting the trim potentiometer on the drive shield. The potentiometer is used for powertrim functions and transmit information about drive trim positions to the EVC system. Normal transom angle, that is default value, is 13°. If other values are needed, the transom angle can be adjusted between 8° and 25°. Activated for a PCU (MID187).

Lever type

Vodia text: "Lever type". This parameter is used when the 4–20 mA interface is installed. Values "On"/"Off". "On" shall be set when the IN interface is used. Activated for a HCU (MID164).
