Faber‑com MAP3 Marine PWM Joystick (PMAP3)

Product Overview

The Faber‑com MAP3 is a single-axis electronic joystick designed for marine applications, providing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs to directly control proportional solenoid valves. Engineered for durability and precision, the MAP3 is ideal for hydraulic systems in marine environments where reliability and performance are paramount.

Key Features

• Dual PWM Outputs: Delivers two independent PWM signals (A and B) to control forward and reverse solenoid valves, with a maximum current of 2.5A per output.
• Hall Effect Sensing: Utilizes redundant Hall effect sensors to detect lever position via a permanent magnet, ensuring non-contact operation and reducing mechanical wear
• Adjustable Parameters: Allows configuration of minimum/maximum current, rise/fall ramp times (up to 25 seconds), PWM frequency (50–300 Hz), and output curve shape (linear or parabolic).
• Programmable Settings: All operational parameters can be adjusted through a serial interface using Faber‑com's SepSim software and a special serial port adapter (AISR).
• Environmental Protection: Constructed with stainless steel and anodized aluminum, the MAP3 is designed to withstand harsh marine environments, offering IP67 ingress protection. C
• Connector: Equipped with a 20 cm cable terminating in a Deutsch DT04-8 connector for easy integration.
