NAUTILUS CANBUS CONTROLLER – Canbus Thumb Controller (TC)

canbus_logo_small

Operators who are familiar with the operation of the 120SSF and 140SSF will find the Thumb Controller (TC) very easy to use. Nautilus has made the software program, the TC display messages and the operation almost identical to the 120SSF/140SSF.

Dimensions: 25mm x 183mm x 102mm (1″x 7.4″ x 4″) 
Joysticks: 25mm (1″) high 
Weight: 0.45Kg (1 lb)

Advantages of the TC over the larger 140SSF PCU:

● uses a neck strap, no shoulder harness is required
● much lighter – weighs only 1.2 lb (0.45kg)
● much smaller – only 1″ (25mm) thick, 7.4″ (188mm) wide and 4″ (102mm) across
● water resistant (has multiple ‘o’-rings)
● operates continuously for 16 hours before recharging;
● controls up to 16 proportional joystick functions and 25 on/off functions;
● servicing is easier, faster and less expensive than a 140SSF PCU;
● each joystick has its own deadman button

Thumb Controller Charger

Because the Thumb Controller uses a Lithium-Ion battery, there aren’t any bad “memory effects”, and you can recharge the unit any time it is convenient. The universal charger operates from a voltage between 100 and 240 VAC, 50/60Hz. To recharge the Thumb Controller first plug the Charging Unit into a suitable AC wall socket. Plug the Charger cable connector into the rear of the Thumb Controller as shown in the picture. Lift up the red STOP button at the top of the Thumb Controller to confirm that charging has started.
