Receiver installation
Prior to installation, it is important that the responsible installer reads this guide to ensure
necessary acquaintance with this product.
Warning!
• Remote receiver power supply negative lead must be connected to the thrusters`s negative
lead.
Caution!
• Install the receiver minimum 1 meter (3ft) from high power cables and NMEA cables or other
sources of electrical interference, i.e. navigation instruments, radio communication devices,
electro motors and generators.
• Install the receiver outside of shielded areas for radio signals, i.e. boxes made of steel or other
material with shielding properties.
• Install the receiver in a dry environment, with cables pointing downwards. (The receiver as
-
sembly is not waterproof.)
• When additional transmitters are to be used, the receiver must be programmed again for all
transmitters (please see programming section on page 7).
• The receiver must have a separate power supply fitted with a 5 Amp fuse in the positive lead
that has either a separate power switch or is shut of by the thrusters system main power
switch. The receiver can not be powered by the thrusters`s control looms even if you find posi
-
tive and negative lead there.
• Mount the receiver using the two screw holes (please see picture on page 6).
If the receiver is mounted against a wall, use spacers between the receiver and the wall to
avoid moisture in the receiver.
Optimised installation (Fig. 1 - 3)
• The receiver antenna must be placed in a vertical position minimum 1 meter (3ft) above sea
level.
• The receiver has antenna with SMA connector. If there is a problem with signal transferring, try
to move the unit to a more optimised position or buy the antenna extension cable (RC-EXT) to
relocate the antenna.
- Above sea level
- Away from sources of electrical interference.
Note! Faulty installation will render all warranty given by Sleipner-Marinno GmbH void.
