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.

• Control panel PJC2xx must be upgraded to fi rmware version V3.018 or newer. Control panel PJC2xx with hardware V2.000 or older will not support eVision Thruster Motors. Sleipner stopped the production of PJC2xx with HW version V2.000 in Q2 2020. Note that no mechanical modifi cations are required to replace older PJC2xx panels with PJC2xx HW version V3.000 or newer.

(NB: Ensure gaps between the tunnel and the hull are completely fi lled with resin/ fi breglass. In areas where you can not access to make layers of resin/ fi breglass, a resin/ fi breglass mixture must be used in that area.) 8 x layers of fiberglass and resin 8 x layers of fiberglass and resin MG_0005 Sleipner eVision electric thrusters 7314 2023...

You must apply gel coat to areas you have grounded/ moulded to make waterproof. These areas allow water access to the hull which is typically not waterproof without these applications outside. (NB: All original Sleipner tunnels are fully waterproof when delivered except in the areas where you have cut and bonded it to the hull.)
