Considerations and Precautions

EN

IMPORTANT

If installing S-link products DO NOT connect any other control equipment to the S-link controlled products except Sleipner original S-link

products or via a Sleipner supplied interface product made for interfacing with other controls. Any attempt to directly control or at all connect

into the S-link control system without the designated and approved interface will render all warranties and responsibilities for the complete

line of Sleipner products connected void and null. If you are interfacing by agreement with Sleipner and through a designated Sleipner

supplied interface, you are still required to also install at least one original Sleipner control panel to enable efﬁ cient troubleshooting if

necessary.

It is the installers responsibility

When installing Sleipner equipment follow the outlined regulations/ classi cation rules (electrical/ mechanical) according to

international or special national regulations. Instructions in this guide cannot be guaranteed to comply with global electric/

mechanic regulations/ classi cation rules.

Follow all health and safety laws in accordance with their local outlined regulations/ classi cation rules.

Before installation, it is important that the installer reads this guide to ensure necessary acquaintance with the product.

The recommendations made in this manual are guidelines ONLY, and Sleipner Motor AS (Sleipner) strongly recommend that before

installation, advice is obtained from a naval architect familiar with the particular vessel and regulations/ classi cations.

This manual is intended to support educated/ experienced staff and is therefore not suf cient in all details for professional

installation. (NB: These instructions are only general instruction. If you are not skilled to do this work, please contact professional

installers for assistance.)

All electrical work must be done by a licensed professional.

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

Programming Additional Transmitters/ Remote Controls

EN

The original transmitter and receiver have the same factory pre-set code so that no programming is necessary. When additional transmitters remote controls are to be used, the additional transmitters/remote controls have to be paired with the receiver.

1. Be sure that there is power on the receiver (Green status LED blinking) and that the transmitter that should be paired is off.

2. Push the Pair Button on the receiver to put the receiver in pairing mode (as shown above). Both red and green LED’s should start to blink

simultaneously.

3. Within 10s after the receiver pair button is pushed, set the transmitter in pairing mode by holding the off button and pressing both “ON” buttons at the same time, all the transmitter LED’s turn on indicating that it is set in pairing mode. When a pairing signal is received from the receiver the transmitter LED’s while turn off and the system is ready to be used. If no pairing signal received within 10s the transmitter will leave the pairing mode.

4. Additional transmitters/remote controls must be programmed according to step 2-3. You can pair up to 4 transmitters/remote controls.

5. To clear all transmitters/remote controls paired with the receiver hold the pair button on the receiver for approximately 10s until the red and green led stop blinking. When the LED’s stop blinking release the pair button, the green led will again start to blink when the receiver has completed the reset process. The receiver is then ready to pair with up to four transmitters/remote controls. Take time to practice operation in open water to become familiar with the thruster and to avoid damages to your boat or people.

Important Thruster User Considerations and Precautions

MC_0179

Failure to follow the Considerations and precautions can cause serious injury / damage and will render all warranty given by

IMPORTANT

Sleipner Motor AS VOID.

• Ensure you know the location of the main battery switch that disconnects the thruster from all power sources (batteries) so the thruster can

be turned off in case of serious malfunction.

• Always turn the control device off when the thruster is not in use.

• The maximum continues run time of the electrical thruster is approximately 3 minutes. The electro motor has a built-in thermal cut-off switch that

will shut off the electro-motor if it is overheating and re-engage when it has cooled down. Consider this when planning your manoeuvring.

• As above the thruster will limit its total running time per period. Do not count on the thruster to hold you in a strong current or side wind for extensive

periods. Depending on the surrounding temperatures etc. the thruster will be able to run approximately 10 % of the time.

• Never use thrusters close to objects/ persons or animals in the water, as the thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and contact with the

rotating propellers will cause serious injuries and damage the thruster.

• 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 potentially damaging rpm.

• While the thruster is in the air, ensure that the propellers have come to a complete stop before performing a directional change of the thruster, as it

might cause damage to the thruster.

• If the thruster stops giving thrust while the electro-motor is running, there is possibly a problem in the drive system. You must immediately

stop running the thruster and turn it off. Running the electro motor for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller can cause serious damage to the electro motor.

• When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster.

• We advise keeping the main engine(s) running while using the thruster. This will keep the batteries in a good charge condition. It will also give better

performance to the thruster, a higher voltage at the thruster results in a higher torque (power) in the electro motor.

• Please note the performance of the thruster strongly depends on the voltage available at the electro motor. This voltage will decrease over time

because ageing batteries have reduced capacity. Installing new batteries will bring back the thruster to the original level.

• Ensure only one control is used at the same time, if two panels are operated in opposite directions at the same time the thruster will not run. If

both are operated in the same direction, the thruster will run in this direction.

• If the thruster is not performing or functioning as usual, the cause must be found and corrected as soon as possible to avoid causing any other or

further damage to the equipment. You must also turn off the main battery switch immediately in case the problem is of electric origin.

• It is the owner/ captain/ other responsible parties full responsibility to assess the risk of any unexpected incidents on the vessel. If the thruster

stops giving thrust for some reason while manoeuvring you must have considered a plan on how to avoid damage to persons or other objects.

• The primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre/ dock the vessel. Forward/ reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when operated.

• Never use a windlass close to somebody in the water, an unexpected drop of the anchor can cause serious injuries.

1. Turn on the main power switch for the bow thruster. (NB: Always turn off the main power switch when not on-board.)

2. Turn on the control panel by pushing both “ON” buttons on the original Side-Power panel simultaneously. (NB: If another type of control is

installed, push the On/Off switch for the bow thruster.)

* Turn off the control panel by pushing both “OFF” button

3. To Turn the bow in the desired direction push the red button for port movement or the green button for starboard.

- For joystick control, move the joystick in the direction you wish the bow to move.

-Other controls like foot switches or toggle-switches on the throttle can be used. Engage the port control, the bow will turn to port etc.

4. Depending on the sideways speed of the bow, you must disengage the control device shortly before the bow is in the desired position. (NB: The

boat will continue to move after disengaging the thruster control.)

How to use a single stern thruster

Due to space limitations, a vessel may only have a stern thruster. In this case, the stern thruster is used in the same way as a single bow thruster for moving the boat’s stern. Follow the above instruction for operation use.

How to use a combined bow and stern thruster

The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to the boat and the ability to move the bow and the stern separately from each other. This enables you to move the boat sideways in both directions and turn the boat around its axis 360º staying stationary.

NB: At any signiﬁ cant cruising speed (+1-2 kn) the side thruster will have little effect to steer the vessel.

1. Sleipner Motor AS (The “Warrantor”) warrants that the equipment (parts, materials and embedded software of products) manufactured by the

Warrantor is free from defects in workmanship and materials for the purpose for which the equipment is intended and under normal use and

service (the “Warranty”).

2. This Warranty is in effect for two years (Leisure Use) or one year (Commercial and other Non-leisure Use) from the date of purchase by the end

user (for demonstration vessels, the dealer is deemed as end user).

3. This Warranty is transferable and covers the equipment for the specied warranty period.

4. The warranty does not apply to defects or damages caused by faulty installation or hook-up, abuse or misuse of the equipment including exposure

to excessive heat, salt or fresh water spray, or water immersion except for equipment specically designed as waterproof.

5. In case the equipment seems to be defective, the warranty holder (the “Claimant”) must do the following to make a claim:

(a) Contact the dealer or service centre where the equipment was purchased and make the claim. Alternatively, the Claimant can make the

claim to a dealer or service centre found at www.sleipnergroup.com. The Claimant must present a detailed written statement of the nature

and circumstances of the defect, to the best of the Claimant’s knowledge, including product identi cation and serial nbr., the date and place of

purchase and the name and address of the installer. Proof of purchase date should be included with the claim, to verify that the warranty period has not expired;

(b) Make the equipment available for troubleshooting and repair, with direct and workable access, including dismantling of furnishings or similar,

if any, either at the premises of the Warrantor or an authorised service representative approved by the Warrantor. Equipment can only be returned to the Warrantor or an authorised service representative for repair following a pre-approval by the Warrantor’s Help Desk and if so, with the Return Authorisation Number visible postage/shipping prepaid and at the expense of the Claimant.

6. Examination and handling of the warranty claim:

(a) If upon the Warrantor’s or authorised service Representative’s examination, the defect is determined to result from defective material or

workmanship in the warranty period, the equipment will be repaired or replaced at the Warrantor’s option without charge, and returned to the Purchaser at the Warrantor’s expense. If, on the other hand, the claim is determined to result from circumstances such as described in section 4

above or a result of wear and tear exceeding that for which the equipment is intended (e.g. commercial use of equipment intended for leisure use),

the costs for the troubleshooting and repair shall be borne by the Claimant;

(b) No refund of the purchase price will be granted to the Claimant, unless the Warrantor is unable to remedy the defect after having a reasonable

number of opportunities to do so. In the event that attempts to remedy the defect have failed, the Claimant may claim a refund of the purchase price, provided that the Claimant submits a statement in writing from a professional boating equipment supplier that the installation instructions of the Installation and Operation Manual have been complied with and that the defect remains.

7. Warranty service shall be performed only by the Warrantor, or an authorised service representative, and any attempt to remedy the defect by

anyone else shall render this warranty void.

8. No other warranty is given beyond those described above, implied or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, tness for a

particular purpose other than the purpose for which the equipment is intended, and any other obligations on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives.

9. There shall be no responsibility or liability whatsoever on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives based on this Warranty

for injury to any person or persons, or damage to property, loss of income or prot, or any other incidental, consequential or resulting damage

or cost claimed to have been incurred through the use or sale of the equipment, including any possible failure or malfunction of the equipment or damages arising from collision with other vessels or objects.

10. This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
