Responsibility of the User Operating Thrusters
• Always turn the control device off when the thruster is not in use or when leaving the boat.
• When leaving the boat always turn off the main power switch for the thruster.
• Never use thrusters out of water.
• If the thruster stops giving thrust while running, there is possibly a problem in the drive system. You must immediately stop running the thruster and
turn it off. Running the thruster for more than a few seconds without resistance from the propeller can cause serious damage to the thruster.
• If two panels are operated with conflicting 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 you notice any faults with the thruster switch it off to avoid further damage.
• The primary purpose of the thruster is to manoeuvre or dock the vessel. Forward or reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when operated.
Never use thrusters when close to objects, persons or animals in the water. The thruster will draw objects into the tunnel and the rotating
propellers. This will cause serious injuries and damage the thruster.
Always turn the main power switch off before touching any part of the thruster. An incidental start while touching moving parts can cause serious
injuries.
It is the owner, captains or 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.

Dashboard view detailed information
It is only possible to operate the thrusters when the dashboard view is active. The thruster dashboard view shows status information from up to four
thruster controllers.
Installations with AC thrusters require one PDC-301 controller for each AC thruster. For hydraulic thrusters, the PHC-3 hydraulic controller can be used
to control up to two hydraulic thrusters.
The location con guration of PDC-301 and the instance con guration of PHC-3 de ne where the thruster information is displayed in the dashboard
view. Refer to the image below for detailed information. Information for con guring the PDC-301 and PHC-3 is in the System Devices chapter of this
manual.
Dark blue arrows in the thruster dashboard represent the amount and direction of thrust from connected joysticks. For installations with both bow and
stern thrusters, two arrows display the individual thrust indication of each location.
The below dashboard view shows an example from installations with one bow AC thruster and one stern hydraulic thruster.
The dashboard displays only one hydraulic oil temperature symbol for installations where one PHC-3 hydraulic controller is used to control two
thrusters.
The temperature icon has  ve levels.

Several control panels can be connected to the same S-Link bus and con gured to control the same thruster. One example could be bridge and deck
installation on the same vessel.
If joysticks are moved in the same direction on different control panels with different thrusts, the thruster will respond to the highest level. The panel
will indicate thrust from the joystick connected to the panel with a dark blue coloured bar. If thrust from a remote panel is higher, it will be indicated
with a light blue coloured bar.

Adjustment of back light level
Press and release the ON/OFF button to activate the backlight level adjustment menu. Pressing the ON/OFF button for more than 2 seconds will turn
the panel OFF. Pushing the ON/OFF button when the backlight menu is active steps the backlight level between 20% - 50% - 80%. The backlight
menu automatically closes after 3 seconds of inactivity. When turning on TP-35 the backlight level is always set to 80%.
Device confi guration
To enable operation of a thruster from the control panel the thruster must be associated to the control panel. Additionally, the thruster must be con-
 gured to ensure correct location in the thruster dashboard view and correct response when operating the joystick. For detailed information on how to
associate and con gure devices see
System Devices chapter.
Con guring more than one associated device to be in the same location will result in a setup conflict. Thruster operation is suspended in the case of a
setup conflict and a notice is displayed in the thruster dashboard view. Enter the System Devices menu to resolve such conflicts.
The image below shows an example of a setup conflict where more than one thruster controller has been con gured to the port stern location.
PJC4 part numbers that end with -DNV has additional functionality to ensure that only one control panel at the time can operate the thrusters. See
chapter Functionality of DNV models for more information.

If joysticks are moved in the opposing direction on different control panels, the thruster will not respond. In such situations the panel will indicate no

Active alarm
All TP-35 that are turned on and connected to the S-Link bus enters alarm state if it receives an alarm code or if communication with associated
devices is lost. The alarm state is indicated by a blinking red background, an audible alarm signal, and the Access alarm list icon displayed in the lower-
left corner.
It is not possible to operate thrusters with active alarms. Exceptions are Oil over temperature alarm, Low oil level alarm generated by PHC3, and
auxiliary power supply alarm on DNV product variants.

Push Mute active alarms on one TP-35 to mute the audible alarm signals on all Sleipner control panels that are turned on and connected to the S-Link
bus.
Unmuted alarms are listed in red, and muted alarms are listed in dark blue. Active alarms are not automatically cleared, even if the alarm state is no
longer present in the device. Active alarms must always be cleared by the user to be removed from the alarm list.

If the STOP button on TP-35 is pushed, a STOP message will be sent to all thrusters connected to the S-Link bus. An audible alarm signal will be given,
and a notice will be displayed on the screen. The thrusters will immediately stop after receiving the STOP message and then broadcast the STOP
Activated message.
If the STOP Activated message is not received by TP-35 within 1 second after the STOP button is pushed, the STOP notice will be closed.
The STOP button must be pushed for 2 seconds to disable the stop function.
Pressing the STOP button with a hydraulic controller connected to the S-Link bus will activate the dump valve and all hydraulic consumers will be
disabled.
The STOP Activated message will be displayed on all Sleipner control panels that are turned on.

Use Bow or Stern in conventional thruster system.
In a system with two bow or two stern thrusters, for example, a catamaran. Use Bow or Stern for the port thruster. For starboard
thrusters, use Bow Starboard or Stern Starboard.
Set the running direction for the thruster.
• Normal (default)
• Swapped
Con gure thruster type.
• SAC - Tunnel thruster (default)
• SRAC – Reserved for future functionality
Set the maximum thrust of the thruster. Value between 50% and 100% can be chosen (default 100%). PDC-301 will scale the
joystick signal to this value.
Set the maximum thrust if both bow and stern thrusters are operated at the same time. Value between 0% and 100% can be
chosen (default 100%).
The Load Sharing limitation allows the system to limit the combined load on the generator when bow and stern thrusters are
operated at the same time. The load sharing will dynamically limit the thrust request for each thruster depending on the joystick
position and limit settings. For a detailed explanation and setup guide, see AC series thruster user manual, document ID 6054.
