Integrated "All-in-One" Design

The primary advantage of the 15171-001 is its Integrated architecture. By building the control electronics directly into the back of the keypad:

• Space-Saving: You do not need to find a mounting location for a separate control "brain" or box.

• Simplified Installation: Fewer components mean fewer wire connections and a faster install time for DIYers and professional riggers alike.

• Reliable Performance: A single self-contained unit reduces the number of potential failure points in the communication cable between the dash and a remote box.

Key Features and Safety

• LED Position Indicators: Two vertical rows of high-intensity LEDs provide an instant visual reference of your tab positions.

• Auto-Retract Standard: To protect your investment, the system automatically retracts all four actuators to the "up" position when the boat's ignition is turned off.

• Tactile Feedback: Crisp, soft-touch buttons ensure micro-adjustments are easy to make, even in rough sea states.

• Photoeye Dimming: An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the LED brightness, ensuring high visibility in the sun and zero glare at night.

Technical Specifications

 Key Features

• All-In-One Integration: Similar to the single-actuator version, this model integrates the control box functionality directly into the keypad bezel.² This eliminates the need to mount a separate, bulky control box under the dash, significantly simplifying your wiring.

• High-Intensity LED Indicators: Features two columns of bright LEDs that provide real-time visual confirmation of each tab's position.

• Automatic Retraction: A vital safety feature that automatically retracts both sets of dual actuators when the engine's ignition is turned off, preventing damage to the rams during hauling or storage.

• Intelligent Lighting: An integrated photo eye adjusts the brightness of the indicators based on ambient light conditions, while the backlit buttons ensure easy operation at night.

• Dual Actuator Synchronization: The internal processor is specifically programmed to handle the higher amperage draw of four total actuators and ensures they move in perfect sync to prevent blade twisting.

Installation & Compatibility

• Compatibility Note: This switch is designed for modern Lenco systems with waterproof Deutsch connectors. It is generally not compatible with Lenco components manufactured in 2016 or earlier.

• Plug & Play: The kit is designed for a simple installation process, but because it controls dual actuators, ensure your power source can handle the combined amp draw of all four motors.

• Maintenance Free: The solid-state design has no moving parts inside the control unit, making it highly resistant to the vibrations and moisture found in marine environments.

In the Box: 15171-001 Kit

• (1) Integrated LED Indicator Keypad: Dual-actuator specific.

• (1) 36" Power Pigtail: For direct connection to DC power.

• (1) Hardware Pack: Includes mounting nut, gasket, and connectors.

• Note: This kit does not include the extension harnesses (the cables that run from the helm to the transom).

Pro-Tip for Integrated Systems:

"Because the 15171-001 is an integrated unit, all the power for the four actuators passes through the keypad itself. It is vital to ensure you have a clean, high-amperage power source and a dedicated circuit breaker. This prevents voltage drops that could cause the LEDs to flicker or the actuators to move sluggishly under heavy load."
