When installing an S-Link™ system DO NOT connect any other control equipment directly to the S-Link™ bus except original Sleipner S-Link™ products.
In case of connecting third-party equipment, it must always be connected through a Sleipner-supplied interface product.
Any attempt to directly control or connect into the S-Link™ control system without a designated and approved interface will render all warranties and
responsibilities of all of the connected Sleipner products.
If you are interfacing the S-Link™ bus by agreement with Sleipner through a designated Sleipner supplied interface, you are still required to install at
least one original Sleipner control panel to enable efficient troubleshooting if necessary.

For electric motor thrusters
• 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)
• When installing the thruster electric 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.
• The electric motor, components and cables must be mounted so they remain dry at all times.
• 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 electric motor close to easily flammable 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.
• Do not lift it by internal cable connections, main terminals.
• The thruster power supply circuit must include the recommended sized fuse and a battery isolation switch.
• The electric/ hydraulic motor must be handled with care. Do not rest the thruster motor on its drive shaft as its weight can damage the shaft.

For thruster systems
• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support that may jeopardise the hull integrity without checking
with the boat builder this can be done safely.
• We advise painting the gear house and propellers with anti-fouling.
(NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing, rubber fi ttings or propeller shafts)
• There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-fouling between the tunnel and the props.
• Never run the thruster out of water.

Lithium Batteries for proportional thrusters models SEP, SEP-IP and eVision
• If a lithium battery system is installed for supply of SEP, SEP-IP or eVision thrusters, make sure the battery is designed for continuous supply of the
required thruster current. Under-rated battery management system can suddenly disconnect the load which may lead to dangerous situations. The
fi rmware version of Proportional Power Controller (PPC) must be of version 1.033 or later if the PPC is to be connected to a lithium battery.
Operating the thruster outside specifi ed ratings will void warranty.
