Bow Installation Considerations and Precautions
EN
• The thruster must NOT be installed in compartments that require ignition proof electric equipment. If necessary, make a separate compartment.
(NB: Ignition Protected systems are tested to be installed in areas with possible explosive gases in accordance with ISO 8846)
• The electro motor will generate some carbon dust so any storage compartments must be separated from the thruster to prevent nearby items
becoming dusty/ dirty.
(NB: IP version motors generate dust but are enclosed.)
• When installing the thruster electro motor in small compartments, ensure the compartment is well ventilated to allow for cooling of the electro motor.
• If the height of the room you are installing the thruster is limited, the thruster can be installed horizontally or at any angle in-between.
- If the electro motor is positioned more than 30 degrees off vertical, it must be supported separately.
- Beware of keeping installation within advised measurements. No part of the propeller or gear house must be outside the tunnel.
• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiff ener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking with
the boat builder this can be done safely.
• The electro motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.
• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling.
(NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi ttings or propeller shafts)
• Do not fi nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-
fouling between the tunnel and the props.
• Don’t install the electro motor close to easily fl ammable objects or equipment as it will reach over 100°C before the temperature switch is activated.
• Do not store items close to the thruster motor. Any loose items near the thruster motor is a potential fi re hazard and can cause undesired short-
circuiting.

IMPORTANT
If installing S-link products DO NOT connect any other control equipment to the S-link controlled products except Side-Power original
S-link products or via a Side-Power 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 Side-Power products connected void and null. If you are interfacing by agreement with Sleipner and through a
designated Side-Power supplied interface, you are still required to also install at least one original Side-Power control panel to enable
effi cient troubleshooting if necessary.
