| STAR (STabilization At Rest) is a system that sig^ nificantly reduces vessel roll while anchored, on mooring, or while drifting. STAR is a feature that can be added to most existing TRAC stabilzers and is available as an option on all new TRAC stabilizers. STAR works by transiting the fins at the right speed at just the right moment. STAR'S unique 3-term algorithm measures roll and controls the fin's movement to generate a smooth counter-acting energy pulse that significanty dampens roll. STAR equipped systems are usually fitted with longer chord fins. Power is provided by an AC or generator driven hydraulic pump. Careful attention to equipment layout and design minimizes noise and vibration. Operation of STAR is simple and intuitive, requiring single touch command to activate. STAR uses the same touch-screen LCD panel as standard TRAC systems. |
