Kongsberg Maritime’s Jet Control System is now available for the company’s larger, S-series stainless steel waterjets, offering improved manoeuvrability and easier installation for vessels up to 50 metres in length.
The highly responsive Jet Control System, will now be matched with the S4-series waterjets, typically used on larger vessels such as ferries, super yachts and coastal patrol vessels.
The Jet Control System (JCS) is used to control waterjet steering, reversing bucket and optional interceptor functions, and can accommodate up to three control stations and can operate with twin, triple or quad steerable waterjet installations. The integrated feedback signals provide maximum accuracy in operating the waterjet hydraulic valves.
The JCS’s control stations each have their own high-contrast 7″ display, with dedicated views providing detailed information for each specific function. On the bridge, design factors such as joystick and armrest integration have been ergonomically updated, while service access solution provides high-level KONGSBERG support and enhanced alarm traceability.
