Main switch with fuse, 12 or 24V version.
(Select fuse size depending on the thruster.)
ON/OFF thruster panel(s).
Thermal switch built into the thruster motor.
Power feed fused to protect the wire.
Negative power feed for the solenoid.
Install and wire series/ parallel box that replaces the fuse and main switch between batt. 2
and the thruster with the automatic main switch.
(Dotted lines show schematically the other main cables used when fitting a
series/parallel system.)
A fuse and manual main switch fitted between battery bank 1 and the series/ parallel
switch box for shutdown in case of a fault.
( Recommended to be left on at all times to ensure charge of ”Batt. 2". Only
disconnect when installing/ servicing or in case of a failure.)

IMPORTANT
Do NOT use an automatic main switch between
Batt 1 and Batt 2. This will prevent charging of
batt.2.
The main switch between the batteries are only for
emergencies and should be left in the ON position
except in emergencies.
IMPORTANT
Only versions 897512A and
897524A is compatible with
series/ parallel box installations

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.
