Section 2: SYSTEM OPERATION
2.4 Normal Shut-Down
The Seakeeper should be stopped when pulling into port and stabilization is no longer
required. This maximizes life by allowing the Seakeeper to start the coast down cycle
before cooling is shutoff. Once the vessel is secured, the AC and DC breakers can be
switched OFF. The Seakeeper will continue to spool down to zero rpm. No cooling is
required during this time.
Note: The seawater pump may run for 5 minutes after the Seakeeper is switched off and
is coasting (with AC power applied).
1) Press the Seakeeper POWER button. The POWER button will turn grey. The Seakeeper
will start coasting.
2) Once the vessel is secured in the slip and the crew has shut down the generator and
engines, switch the AC and DC breakers that control the Seakeeper OFF. The flywheel
will continue to spool down to zero rpm. This can take 6+ hours from full speed.
When the flywheel has stopped spinning 0 RPM will appear on the screen
