S-Link™ interface, stern thruster –Preprogrammed to control S-Link stern thruster Both models can be reconfi gured to operate either bow or stern thrusters. Confi guration must be done by a Sleipner S-Link control panel supporting 8730 or the confi guration tool S-Link Programmer running on a computer.
Location parameter confi gured to Bow. Similar 8730 S will only activate AMS and retract controllers with the Location parameter confi gured to Stern. If the Enable Input is connected to the yellow wire from a Sleipner ON/OFF control panel or a Sleipner Remote Control Receiver, 8730 will be enabled if the control panel or Remote Control is turned on.
Ramp mode MC_0982 RAMP mode enables variable thrust control when using ON/ OFF control devices. Parameter confi guration for RAMP mode is described in chapter Confi guration. When RAMP mode is disabled a fi xed thrust level is request by 8730 when the Port or Starboard Input Switch is activated. The graph below shows an example where the input switch is activated for 5 seconds, then deactivated for 2 seconds then reactivated for 3 seconds.
• Any attempt to directly control or connect to the S-Link™ control system without a designated and approved interface from Sleipner will void all warranties and responsibilities of the connected Sleipner products. If you interface 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.
8730 can be interfaced with ON/OFF control devices to enable control of S-Link thrusters. Such control devices could be foot switches or other normally open switches, Sleipner ON/OFF control panels or Sleipner RCR-2x Remote Control Receiver. 8730 can be interfaced with one or several of the above mentioned control devices.
