Volvo Penta Interceptor System
The Volvo Penta interceptor system is a trim system
that uses interceptors installed on the transom to act on
a boat's running characteristics and provide a safer,
more comfortable passage regardless of weather
conditions.
The IS system affects a boat's running characteristics
at speeds of ≈10 knots and above.
Each interceptor has a blade that extends by varying
amounts, depending on the preferred effect, and trims
the boat in three axes. The IS system is available in
three versions, manual, auto and active.
Manual means the helmsman controls the interceptor
blades using control buttons.
Auto means the system is pre-calibrated and
interceptor blade control is automatic.
Active means the system is pre-calibrated and
interceptor blade control is completely automatic to
provide optimum safety and comfort.
For further information refer to Operation, page 86:
A Trimming angle of attack (the angle
between the bow and the surface of the
water). Improves the helmsman's visibility
to provide safer passage.
B Trimming roll angle when moving dead
ahead. Compensates boat heel to improve
comfort e.g. when the boat is unevenly
laden or in a side wind.
C Trimming roll angle in turns. Compensates
boat heel, improves the helmsman's all-
round visibility and provides for a more
pleasant passage.
