• 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 without load.
• 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.
For the operation of thrusters
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.
Failure to follow the considerations and precautions can cause serious injury, damage and will render all
warranties given by Sleipner Motor as VOID. MC_0411

Dashboard View Detailed Information
It is only possible to operate the thrusters when the dashboard view is active or when the backlight menu is accessed from the ON/OFF button.
The thruster dashboard view shows thruster type, applied thrust, direction of thrust and status information from up to four thrusters. The status infor-
mation is oriented on the dashboard according to the physical location of the thrusters. For installations with two bow thruster, one joystick is used to
operate both bow thrusters. The same amount of thrust is therefore applied to both thrusters and there is one common indicator for the amount and
direction of thrust of both bow thrusters on the dashboard view. The same applies for vessels with two stern thrusters.
Below is an example of an installation with both bow and stern AC thrusters.
For hydraulic thrusters, the PHC-3 hydraulic controller can be used to control up to two hydraulic thrusters. Thus the dashboard shows only one
hydraulic oil temperature symbol for installations where one PHC-3 hydraulic controller is used to control two thrusters.

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
thrust, refer to image below. The thruster will not respond before one of the joysticks has returned to zero position.
Thruster Operation and Menu Navigation
Thruster operation will be suspended if accessing Main Menu while running a thruster. If joysticks are not centred when returning to dashboard view
the below notice will be shown and the joysticks must be centred to resume thruster operation. The same notice will be shown if the TP-35 is turned
on with a joystick positioned out of centre.
This functionality is implemented as a safety function to prevent unintentional thruster operation.

Show list of active alarms.
Active Alarm
All TP-35 that are connected to the S-Link bus enters alarm state if it receives an alarm code, regardless if the panel is turned ON or OFF.
Communication alarms, due to lost communication with associated devices on the S-Link bus, will only be triggered when the panel is turned ON.
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.
If an alarm code is received while the panel is turned OFF, the panel will automatically be turned ON and enter the alarm state. Turning the panel off
when in an alarm state will mute the audible alarm signal, but not clear the active alarm. Generation of additional alarm codes will again turn the panel
ON and activate the audible alarm signal.

Immediate Stop Alarm
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 load sense dump valve and the oil pressure will be
reduced to the standby pressure, which typically is 20 bar. Reducing to standby pressure will disable thruster operation, but other low consumption
equipment connected to the same hydraulic system might be operable.
