The TR-1 system includes an electric throttle mechanism for remote control of the kicker throttle valve. The throttle butterfly valve is actuated by a lead screw and stepper motor. The stepper advances or retracts the lead screw in 1/1000 inch steps as commanded by the remote control pushbuttons. On system power down, the stepper is commanded to take the butterfly valve to its' closed throttle position. The throttle system has an Idle/Resume feature that provides for single button push reduction of throttle to idle and subsequent button push resumption of the initial RPM.

Operating The System

Most of the operation of the autopilot is accomplished through the remote control and the deckmount switch. To make things easy to talk about we will name the buttons as shown in the picture of the handheld/ remote below.

Almost all of the buttons in the systems have multiple functions, and many functions are accomplished by button push sequences or by pushing more than one button at a time. The steering and throttle modes are not all available simultaneously. The Idle/Resume , Bent Left Arrow, and Bent Right Arrow buttons are sometimes referred to as “special function” buttons in the following text.
