UltraJet Control Systems
Updated 12/27/07
Ultra Dynamics offers a wide
range of standard jet control systems for the smooth and accurate
control of the jet reversing and steering deflectors using single or
twin levers or full-featured joystick control. We also offer
mission-specific custom jet control systems. Our range of standard
and custom control systems has grown significantly since first
developed for military applications in the 1980’s.
The specification jet propulsion and controls from Ultra Dynamics
permits single-source supply of an integrated propulsion system.
Control Overview
The following sections
provide an overview of the controls, steering, and hydraulics
systems available with UltraJet marine propulsion. Click on the
links or images for more information on each system.
|
Hydromechanical (HM)
Control |
|
|
  |
The Hydromechanical control provides
proportional operation of the reversing deflector when actuated by a
push/pull cable from the helm. The HM control converts low efforts at the
helm to hydraulic actuation of the reverse deflector, even at full throttle.
The HM control is available for the UltraJet models 251, 305, 305HT, 340,
377, and 410.

Electrohydraulic Jog (EHJ)
Control |
|
|
 |
The Electrohydraulic Jog is a
non-proportional control of reversing deflector(s) actuated a joystick or
toggle at the helm to electrically actuate a solenoid-operated hydraulic
valve on the jet. Hydraulic flow from this valve actuates the reversing
deflector. The EHJ control is available on all UltraJet models but used
mostly on the 251, 305, 305HT, and 340.

Electrohydraulic
Proportional (EHK) Control |
|
 |
The economical Electrohydraulic
Proportional control operates the reversing deflector proportional to helm
lever movement. The EHK system is based on Kobelt single or twin-lever helm
units, amplifier, and position feedback units. The EHK control is available
for all UltraJet models.

JetMaster-Pro Proportional (JMP) Control |
|
|
The JetMaster-Pro is a PLC-based control
system to operate the reversing deflector(s) proportional to helm lever
movement. The system is available with single or twin lever helm control for
single or twin jets respectively. The JetMaster-Pro control is available for
all UltraJet models.

JetMaster Joystick (JMJ) Controls |
|
|
 |
Ultra Dynamics, and predecessor Company
Ultra Hydraulics, have been supplying joystick controls for vessels under 75
feet since 1995. These Ultra-developed joystick systems are used to
accurately control forward, reverse and neutral positioning of the boat
using vectored thrust from the jet drive(s). The JetMaster Joystick controls
are available for all UltraJet models.

Jet Steering Systems |
|
|
 |
A variety of steering options are
available for UltraJet units and for use with the above reversing controls.
Steering options include steering position indicators, electronic
synchronization for catamarans, and auto-steer (autopilot).

|
Hydraulic Systems |
|
|
 |
The above control systems are to
precisely position the reversing deflectors with the deflectors being
actuated hydraulically. A variety of pump and valve systems are available
from Ultra Dynamics to operate the jet controls only and/or to operate
additional functions such as a hydraulic bow thruster and anchor windlass.
