Plan the installation of the electrical parts including the control panel and wiring runs based on the information in the manual. Your Sleipner representative will be able to help make an educated decision for what is the best solution for your boat and your preferences. Before starting the installation, the Sleipner representative can ensure that you are not installing parts and products that will not meet your expectations.

Fin Positioning MC_0962 Quay Electric Fins should not extend outside the beam including the fenders, or below the keel/propeller when i neutral position. Fins should be placed as far outboard as possible, and NOT in-line with the propellers, to ensure avoiding possible disturbance of the water flow to the props which in the worst case can cause vibrations / cavitation.

Electrical Installation eFD m MC_0715 using Plan the installation The installation should be planned according to available cable length and placement recommendations for the different components. A system overview is shown in the Wiring Diagram chapter. Connect Actuator ground wire Connect a ground wire from the vessel’s main bonding/ anode system to each actuator.
eFD Electrical Installation MC_0716 SPS Electrionc Fin Drive (eFD) The eFD is supplied with 2.5 / 4.5 meter long encoder- and power cables for connection to the actuator. Mount the eFD in proximity of the actuator to ensure that the cables can be connected. Use four screws with a maximum diameter of 6mm and a maximum head diameter of 12mm to fasten the eFD.

Zero inclination setup MC_0905 Purpose The purpose with this set up is to calibrate the vessels horizontal position in to the stabilizer system. This is important for the system to operate correctly. The zero inclitantion procedure can be performed at any time, either on shore or at sea, but before the Sea trial procedure. Preparation Ensure that the vessel is in horizontal position in the sideways direction.
Dynamic center setting MC_0906 Purpose Dynamic centers allowing the fi ns to operate at the ideal attack angle depending on the boat speed. By unlocking the fi ns and let them free float in fi ve different speeds in the vessels speed range, the system will operate with the ideal angle of attack througout the vessels speed range This will minimize the drag from the fi...
The setting parameters in the Stabilizing, Optimization and Fin/Actuator tabs in the settingsmenu will differ from vessel to vessel. Generic parameters is set as standard values in the system. Sleipner can provide more specifi c parameters for certain hull / vessel types. Contact your dealer for more info.
