Important precautions
• With the boat on land, only run the thruster for a fraction of a second, as without resistance it
will accelerate very fast to a damaging rpm.
• This manual is intended to support educated / experienced sta.
• When installed in boats approved or classied according to international or special national
rules, the installer is responsible for following the demands in accordance with these regula-
tions / classication rules. The instructions in this guide can not be guaranteed to comply with
all dierent regulations / classication rules.
• The transmitter and the receiver have the same factory preset code so no programming is necessary. When additional transmitters are to be used, follow the instructions in the programming
section.
Compass safe distance:
- RCT-2xxU: 0,3m
- RCRS-2U: 0,2m

Receiver installation
Prior to installation, it is important that the responsible installer reads this guide to ensure
necessary acquaintance with this product.
WARNING!
• Install the receiver minimum 1 meter (3ft) from high power cables and data communication
cables or other sources of electrical interference, i.e. navigation instruments, radio communication devices, electric motors and generators.
• Install the receiver minimum 1 meter (3ft) above sea level.
• Install the receiver outside of shielded areas for radio signals, i.e. boxes made of metals or
other material with shielding properties.
• Install the receiver in a dry environment, where no condensation can enter the unit. (The
receiver assembly is not waterproof.)
• The receiver is powered by the S-link cable.
• Mount the receiver using the four holes (please see picture on page 5).
Note! Faulty installation will render all warranty given by Sleipner Motor AS void.

User precautions
• Ensure that you know the location of the main battery switch that disonnects the thruster from
all power sources (batteries) so that the thruster/windlass can be turned o in case of a mal-
function.
• The maximum continues usage time of the electrical thruster is approx. 3 minutes. The electro
motor has a built in thermal cut-o switch that will shut it o when overheating and re-engage it
when it has cooled down some. This should be considered when planning your manouvering.
• Never use a thruster close to somebody in the water, as the thruster will draw objects close by
into the tunnel and contact with the rotating propellers will cause serious injuries.
• Never use a windlass close to somebody in the water, an unexpectedly drop of the anchor can
cuse serious injuries.
• If the thruster stops giving thrust while the electric motor is running, chances are that there is a
problem in the drive-system. You must then immediately stop trying to run it, and turn it o, as
running the electricmotor for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller,
can cause serious damage to the electricmotor.
• When leaving the boat always turn o the main power switch for the thruster/windlass and turn
o the power to the receiver.
• We advice to always keep the main engine(s) running while using a thruster/windlass. This
will keep the batteries in a good charge condition. This will also give better performance to the
thruster.
• It is the owner/captain/other responsible party full responsibility to assess the risk of any
unexpected incidents on the vessel. If the thruster stops giving thrust for some reason while
maneuvering you must have considered a plan on how to avoid damage to persons or other
objects.
