If required by local regulation, electrical work must be done by a licensed professional.

Appropriate health and safety procedures must be followed during installation.

Faulty installation of Sleipner products will render all warranties given by Sleipner Motor AS.

Ensure appropriate access to Sleipner products during installation planning for service, inspection and component replacement.

General Installation Consideration and Precaution Guidelines

MC_0440

For thruster systems

MC_0425

• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking

with the boat builder this can be done safely.

• Paint the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling. (NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi ttings or propeller shafts)

• There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-fouling between the tunnel and the props.

• Never run the thruster out of water without load.

For electric motor thrusters

MC_0031

• The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment.

(NB: Sleipner Ignition Protected systems are tested and rated accordance with ISO 8846 and can be installed in areas with possible explosive

gases.)

• When installing the thruster electric motor in small compartments, ensure the compartment is dry and well ventilated to allow for cooling of the

electric motor.

• If the height of the room you are installing the thruster is limited, the thruster can be installed horizontally or at any angle in-between.

- If the electro motor is positioned more than 30 degrees off vertical, it must be supported separately.

- Beware of keeping installation within advised measurements. No part of the propeller or gear leg must be outside the tunnel.

• The electric motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.

• Do not fi nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-

fouling between the tunnel and the props.

• Don’t install the electric motor close to easily flammable objects or equipment as it will reach over 100°C before the temperature switch is

activated.

• Do not store items close to the thruster motor. Any loose items near the thruster motor is a potential fi re hazard and can cause undesired short-

circuiting.

• Do not lift it by internal cable connections, main terminals.

• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.

• The electric/ hydraulic motor must be handled with care. Do not rest the thruster motor on its drive shaft as its weight can damage the shaft.

For DC electric motors

MC_0426

• The electro motor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartments must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items

becoming dusty/ dirty. (NB: IP version motors generate dust but are enclosed.)

Lithium Batteries for on/off thrusters models SR, SE and SE-IP

MC_0501

• High capacity lithium batteries are capable of supplying a higher operating voltage to the thruster than SR, SE and SE-IP thrusters are rated for.

Running thrusters at higher than rated voltage will reduce operating time, increase wear and damage the thruster. Operating the thruster

outside specifi ed ratings will void warranty.

SEP IP 80 & SEP IP 120 4498 13 2023 3

General Installation Consideration and Precaution Guidelines

MC_0440

Lithium Batteries for proportional thrusters models MC_0502

• If a lithium battery system is installed for supply of proportional thrusters, ensure the battery is designed for continuous supply of the required

thruster current. Under-rated battery management system can suddenly disconnect the load which may lead to dangerous situations. The

fi rmware version of Proportional Power Controller (PPC) must be of version 1.033 or later if the PPC is to be connected to a lithium battery.

Operating the thruster outside specifi ed ratings will void warranty.

When installing an S-Link™ system connect ONLY original Sleipner S-Link™ products or other authorized control equipment directly to the S-Link™ bus.

Connecting non-authorized third-party equipment, it must always be connected through a Sleipner supplied interface product.

Any attempt to directly control or connect into the S-Link™ control system without a designated and approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities of all of the connected Sleipner products. If you are interfacing the S-Link™ bus by agreement with Sleipner through a designated

Sleipner supplied interface, you are still required to install at least one original Sleipner control panel to enable efficient troubleshooting if necessary.

MC_0105

NEVER Disassemble any part of the Ignition Protected assembly. Tampering with the Ignition Protected assembly will cause it to lose this safety feature. If there is a problem with your Ignition Protected motor, please contact your dealer.
