Considerations and Precautions

• Install the automatic main switch as close to the battery(ies) as possible.

• Do not connect the Sleipner automatic main switch with other products than appropriate original Sidepower control panels or other Sidepower control

devices. (NB: Sleipner products are speci cally designed with a separate  fth control cable for the automatic main switch.)

• The automatic main switch must be installed so that it keeps dry at all times.

• The automatic main switch can NOT be  tted in spaces requiring Ignition protected equipment.

• Ensure to use the correct fuse for the main switch depending on the thruster model installed.

Electrical Installation

WARNING

Check the following with the main switch is set to off :

After all electrical connections have been completed check with an ohm meter that there is no electrical connection between

1. electro-motor flange and the positive terminal on the motor

2. electro-motor flange and the battery negative terminal on the motor

If unsure contact skilled personnel.

ON/ OFF conﬁ guration

Use a 4-lead control cable between the thruster and the automatic main switch. (NB: Only 3 leads are used, The red wire is not connected into the

automatic main switch.)

Proportional conﬁ guration

Use 5-lead control cables between the automatic main switch and control panels. (NB: use 5-lead Y-connectors to branch off to all controls ﬁ tted.)

Refer to the table in the thrusters manual for deciding the main cable sizes, the lengths are the total of positive and negative from the battery.

Service

!Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model !

Service/ maintenance

on all-electric equipment regularly Ensure:

- Equipment is clean and dry.

- Ensure all cable and other connections are tight and without signs of excessive heat or corrosion.

Troubleshooting

The control panel will not activate:

- Ensure the automatic main switch receives positive feed over its red thin lead.

(NB: If this goes over another main switch in the boat, make sure that this is ON.)

- Check the internal overheat switch (bi-metal switch on the circuit board) in the automatic main switch has not opened.

(NB: It automatically resets if it is open while the main switch is cold, contact your nearest Sleipner service for assistance.)

- Check 5A fuse installed on the red positive cable to the automatic main switch.

- Check the overheat switch in the electro motor has not blown due to excessive heat.

- Check all control cable connections against the wiring diagrams in the thrusters manual are correct.

The control panel activates, but the thruster will not run:

- Ensure the manual over-ride knob is in “ON” position (pulled out).

- Check that the main power fuse in the automatic main switch is not blown.

(NB: if so, ensure that it is the right size. If it is the correct size but the fuse continues to blow, the reason for this must be identiﬁ ed.)

- Check the main switch activates when the control panel is activated. If not, check the wiring, especially that you have a constant

separate negative feed (thin black lead) and the control panel is feeding a positive into the yellow lead.

- Check there is power supplied to the thruster. If it is not while the previous points are checked OK, the main cables must be checked.

- If there is power at the thruster, measure the voltage at the main battery cable connection points into the thruster while running the thruster.

(NB: If below 8,5V (12V system) or 16V (24V system) Check the batteries and main cables to ﬁ nd the reason for the voltage drop.)

Read the troubleshooting guide in the thrusters manual.

If you are unable to identify and resolve the problem, contact the nearest Sidepower service point for assistance. Have the notes from your

troubleshooting handy to inform the service person of what you have already checked and observed.

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 speciﬁed 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 speciﬁcally 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 identiﬁ 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, ﬁtness 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 proﬁt, 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 speciﬁc legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country.
