U.S. Patent 6,564,739 / Cdn. Patent 2,353,053 Two versions available: The Digital Helm Manifold (DHM) is a small, compact manifold
This patented hybrid hydraulic / electric unit provides full follow-up digital electric control as well as emergency manual hydraulic • DH36 - 1 is the standard unit and produces one output which provides seamless transfer from fly-by-wire steering to
control. Under power steering, the steering wheel is turned producing a rudder command signal the rudder then follows up to the signal emergency manual hydraulic steering in the event of a power
position requested by the wheel. In the event of a power failure the digital helm seamlessly transfers to manual hydraulic steering. • DH36 - 2 produces two output signals - the second signal failure.
Under emergency manual hydraulic steering the number of turns depends on the size fo the actuators. for control redundancy, or for operation of a second steering
system where independent twin steering gears are installed • To be used in conjunction with the Jastram Digital Helm
• Within certain parameters, a single DHM can service multiple
• Compatible with the Jastram Digital steering system
DH-36 helms
• To be used in conjunction with a Digital Helm Manifold (DHM)
• Under power steering mode:
* Adjustable number of wheel turns, programmable from 1/4 turn to 10 turns lock to lock
* Effort to turn the wheel does not change regardless of operating conditions
• When taking over control of the steering system the Digital wheel takes over at the present position of the rudder. Other systems Notes:
usually move the rudder back to center before acquiring control of the steering.
• Capable of Manual steering Warning: Do not use brake fluid or transmission oil
Digital Wheels are unique input devices which provide full follow-up digital electric control. The two main features of the Digital Wheel
over the standard electric wheel are:
1. A programmable number of wheel turns from ¼ to 10 turns lock to lock and
2. When taking over control of the steering system the Digital wheel takes over at the present position of the rudder
Under power steering, the steering wheel is turned producing a rudder command signal. The rudder then follows up to the position
requested by the wheel.

The core of the Jastram Digital Control System is the Digital Steering
Controller (DSC). The DSC processes signals from the Mode Control
Processors (MCP) and in turn controls the response of the hydraulic
power units and, ultimately, the rudder. The MCP is a station processor
which connects the signals from the station Input Devices and Control
Panels to the DSC.
The DSC is designed specifically for marine steering. It The MCP receives signals from the input devices & control
contains a sophisticated microprocessor to perform all panels then transmits these signals to the Digital Steering
computations from the input devices in order to maintain Controller for processing. It also receives commands for the
extremely accurate control. RAI, ROI and station transfer logic from the DSC, all through a
single RS485 cable.
