Control Box Installation
EN
The control box is the central component that can be connected to several other control panels. The control box can be mounted in any orientation,
preferably with cables facing down.
(NB: The control box must be positioned within 0,75 meters from the thruster assembly with the provided
cables and not near any object that radiate high temperatures.)
1. Defi ne the location to install the control box.
(NB: Ensure cables will not obstruct any objects.)
2. Mark the locations of the four drill holes and drill the holes.
3. Attach cables to the control box
(NB: the control box internal components can be removed via its attachment screws for easier installation
using thick battery cables.)
4. Tighten hose clamps in order to ensure Ignition Protection as illustrated.
5. Fasten the control box to the hull.

Thruster Electrical Installation
EN
IMPORTANT
Check the following with the main switch 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 fl ange and the positive terminal on the motor
2. electro-motor fl ange and the battery negative terminal on the motor
If unsure contact skilled personnel.
1. Explanation of electrical table.
see next page
- All power cable lengths are the total of + and - (to and from).
- Battery size is stated as minimum cold crank capacity, not Ah.
- Use slow fuse rated to hold stated Amp-Draw for min. 5 minutes.
* Cable size and main battery size when an extra bow battery with minimum the CCA mentioned as A is installed.
2. Use appropriate sized cables and batteries with a high cranking capacity to feed the thruster. The actual voltage at the motor while running the
thruster decides the motors output RPM and thrust. You can use larger cables for better results.
- Advised minimum cables and batteries sizes.
See next page
.
3. Connect the battery supply to the thruster or control unit (PPC) for proportional control units.
- Install a main manual/ automatic switch that can take the load without noticeable voltage drop from the positive lead terminal on the battery
to the thruster (or PPC unit). The main switch must be accessible to turn off the thruster independently from the rest of the electrical operation
of the vessel when not onboard or in emergencies.
(NB: It is advised to install a fuse on the positive cable for protection against
short-circuiting of the main cables. The fuse should ensure no voltage decrease, slow-blow and sized to take the amperage draw for
at least 5 minutes.)
- A circuit breaker can be used instead of the fuse and main power switch If the functionality is the same.
4. Remember to use ignition protected fuses and switches if fi tted in areas that require this feature.
(NB: For Ignition Protected installations)
5. Cables must have adequate electrical and mechanical isolation against contact with anything but the lead terminal on the battery and fi tted with
cable ends.
6. Fasten cables to the required torque.
