Important !
This interface will only work with Sidepower electric thrusters with
a S-link control system.
Installation:
1. Connect the (foot)switches according to the wiring diagram(s).
2. To connect the optional radio remote, first cut the wires close to the plastic
connector on the “bow” connection lead according to Fig. 1. Strip the wires
properly and connect to the 8730 according to the wiring diagram(s).
Do the same with the “stern” wires if needed.
3. Mount the 8730 in a place where it will be protected from direct and con-
ensed water ingress. Use cable ties or other suitable means of mounting.
4. Plug the S-link Spur cable into the green connector at the rear of interface
box. Twist the locking ring on the connector clockwise to secure connector.
Installation guide S-link external switch interface 8730 Page 2
The 8730 external switch interface allows the use of mechanical foot switches
or other normally open switches to control a S-link bow thruster. In addition it
allows for connecting the 8980/8985 radio remote control.
If you have two thrusters bow and stern, then you need two 8730. One 8730B
for bow and one 8730S for stern. You can change instance of 8730 B & S with
a panel, se manual for panels for how to changing instance of 8730 B & S.
