Alarm Code Recovery Instructions for NBS08
( Procedure to recall alarm codes at Control Head )
1 - Enter Handle Troubleshoot Mode
To review the stored EEC alarm codes you must first enter “Handle Troubleshoot Mode.” To do this you must
use the main station control head and follow the 4 simple steps below:
1
LEDs not illuminated
Check to see that the control head
keypad LEDs are NOT illuminated.
This is a visual indication that the
system has been turned OFF.
Turn
system
OFF
NEUTRAL
2
Move
handles
out of
NEUTRAL
You may move the handles out of
Neutral in either direction (Ahead
or Astern).

When the system has been turned
ON the TAKE LED will blink slowly
and a buzzer will be beeping.

Press the
2 outer
buttons
on keypad
After pressing the two buttons, the keypad’s 4 LEDs will now begin to alternate
between slow blinking and fast blinking
every 4 seconds.
2 - Retrieve alarm count & alarm codes
The control head keypad LEDs will alternate between slow blinking and fast blinking, every 4 seconds, to indicate the
alarm count and the alarm codes. The system stores in memory the 16 most recent alarm codes beginning with the latest.

Pressing the TAKE button will allow you
to cycle through the 16 most recent alarm
codes. Record the sequence of blinking

code by using the chart on pages 6-7 and
fill in the appropriate space on the chart.

3 - Deleting Alarm Codes and Resetting Alarm Count to Zero
While in Handle Troubleshoot Mode you can delete the 16 most recent alarm codes and reset the alarm count
to zero. Deleting alarm codes and resetting alarm count will minimize confusion for future troubleshooting.
Follow the step below:
1
All LEDs flashing
Press WARM & TROLL buttons
anytime after entering Handle
Troubleshoot Mode to delete alarm
codes & reset alarm count to zero.
Press

4 - Exiting Handle Troubleshoot Mode
Once alarm codes have been reviewed and / or deleted, simply turn the system OFF and return the main station control handles to NEUTRAL before restarting system.

EXAMPLE
When John turned his system on he
noticed that all 4 LEDs on the keypad were flashing and the control
head was beeping. He knew this
was not normal and wanted to troubleshoot what was wrong.
The following describes an actual problem
that occurred on a boat which will illustrate
the use of our troubleshooting mode.
John entered the system into
“Handle Troubleshoot Mode” by
turning the system OFF, moving
the handles of the main station control out of NEUTRAL, and turning
the system back ON. Now John
can easily troubleshoot the problem.
All LEDs flashing
3
ON
Turn system OFF
John next noticed that the keypad
LEDs began to alternate every 4
seconds between slow blinking
and fast blinking. He recorded the
LEDs that were blinking slow and
the LEDs that were blinking fast on
the chart (see pg. 4). The sequence
below showed the system went into
alarm a total of 3 times.
Slow blinking
OFF
Beeping sound emitted
Move handles OUT
of NEUTRAL
Fast blinking
ON
Turn system ON
OFF
John pressed the TAKE button to
reveal the first alarm code. He
recorded the sequence of blinking
LEDs (pg. 5) and using the alarm
code description chart (pgs. 6-7),
John determined that the battery
voltage at startup was below 9.6
volts. By pressing the TAKE button a
second time John was able to
retrieve the next alarm code, and
repeated this process for the last
alarm code.
Slow blinking
Fast blinking
Now that John discovered that the
reason for the EEC system alarm
code was low battery input voltage,
he was able to focus on discovering
the reason for this low battery voltage. After further investigation, he
found two problems with his battery
supply to the control system. The
first problem is that only one battery
power sources was connected to the
EEC system, rather than two battery
sources (see paragraph ___ for more
information).
Secondly, the battery source that
was connected (generator battery)
was very low in voltage due to a
failed battery charger. John fixed the
problem with the generator battery
charger, which charged the generator battery, and the EEC system
immediately began to operate. Later,
John had his marine electrician
install a wire and circuit breaker to
his house (domestic) battery source
to provide a second battery source
for the EEC system.

Record alarm codes
Pressing the TAKE button will advance from the alarm count to alarm codes 1 - 16. Record each alarm code by placing
an “X” in the appropriate space on the chart (below). After recording each alarm code press TAKE to cycle through each
code.
