General description

The Sleipner Stabilizer System consists of two under water movable ﬁ ns located on shaft and actuator assemblies penetrating through each side

of the yachts hull and hydraulically powered with a Sleipner compact Hydraulic System. The system is electronically gyro controlled utilizing the

Sleipner S-link (CanBus) network system & stabilizes the yachts rolling motion in the water at various speeds and sea conditions or at anchor

(optional).

Before activating the stabilizer system, ensure that:

(It is recommended that following notes are included in the boats operator manual)

Always keep the stabilizer system active when running the boat in planning or “fast” semi-planning mode - also when on calm water.

• The reason for this is to perform their stabilizing function to the required level, the ﬁ ns are a large part of the boats directional and heel stability,

especially at high speeds when the boats wet surfaces and direct hull forces are reduced. If you leave the ﬁ n stabilizer system off so the ﬁ ns are

left in a ﬁ xed position, this can make the boat behave differently than expected at high speeds.

• With the stabilizer system active, it will ensure that the boats behaviour is predictable and as comfortable as possible at all times, improving

comfort also on calm water.

• If, due to a malfunction or other reason you are unable to run with the stabilizers active, we strongly recommend that you run at a maximum

speed where the boat is not planning so that the boats own directional and heel stability is the dominant factor.

Reverse the boat in minimal speed if the ﬁ ns are not in LOCKED position.

• The ﬁ ns should automatically centre and lock if you put the boat in reverse, but if this should not happen for some reason (hydraulic failure,

reverse sensor malfunction etc.) it is important that you only reverse the boat as slow as possible.

For the operation of stabilisers

Never use the stabilizer when close to objects/ persons or pets in the water.

Prior to operation and use it is important the operator reads this manual thoroughly to ensure necessary knowledge of the product and safety

measures.

Ensure there is no risk of the ﬁ ns hitting any objects, the dock, dock mooring lines or any other submerged objects close to the boat when they

start moving.

IMPORTANT

Always ensure that there are no leakages, hydraulic oil level is correct and cooling pump is running. Always check/monitor system

temperature and pressure from the panel when system is running.

You either have one or both main engines running, or an alternative hydraulic power source (like the AC powerpack).

Failure to follow the considerations and precautions can cause serious injury, damage and will render all

warranties given by Sleipner Motor as VOID. MC_0411

Operation

1. Status screen (Touch arrow/triangle on the right) (NB: System will not start if GPS signal is not available. System cannot operate without hydraulic

pressure, either from PTO or Powerpack.)

Green light is indicating:

GPS available

Powerpack VFD enabled

Powerpack VFD ready

Red light is indicating not ready

2. Gain screen

(a) Possible to adjust the system’s reaction to roll when cruising.

(b) Possible to adjust the system’s reaction to roll when at anchor.

3. Fins screen (2 or 4 ﬁ n system)

Showing ﬁ ns status, disabled or enabled. Fins can be disabled/enabled from this screen.

(NB: Displays disabled ﬁ ns from an alarm via the FCU.)

If a fin is disabled, it will be visible on the front screen.

A disabled fin can be caused via an FCU fault or by

deliberately turning the fin off.

The rudder signal is optional and a missing input will

not stop the system from operating.

A fin can be disabled to reduce forward forces, when at anchor if there is not

enough space to have it safely on, docked next to a quay or another boat, people

are swimming near the fin or if there is a hydraulic leak on that actuator.

Operation

ACTIVATE Stabilizers

4. From HOME menu: Touch STABILIZER

5. Fins are locked and system in OFF status

Activate Stabilizers to CRUISING mode:

6. Touch ON/OFF button - system is starting

Stabilizers are active in CRUISING mode Usually in use from 3/4 knots and up. (NB: System change automatically between Cruising/At Anchor

when both are activated.)

Activate Stabilizers to AT ANCHOR mode:

7. Touch ANCHOR button - system is starting and running

Usually in use from 0 to 3/4 knots. To turn At Anchor OFF, touch Anchor again. (NB: System change automatically between Cruising/At Anchor

when both is activated.)

Turn system OFF:

8. Touch ON/OFF button - ﬁ ns are centred, locked and not active.

(NB: The system can also be turned ON/OFF through the PJC-2xx panel. See the PJC-2xx manual for more information.)

Alarms and System Monitoring

If an alarm occurs so the stabilizer system is not running, but the ﬁ ns are centred and locked, you can operate the boat normally, remembering the

general warning about high speeds and inactive stabilizers. See Alarm list and boat handling restrictions in table below for more details.

MC_0248

IMPORTANT

If the ﬁ ns are NOT centred and locked, do NOT run forward in more than the minimum necessary steering speed

BOAT HANDLING RESTRICTIONS L1 L2 L3 L4

Remember the general warning about high speed running without active stabilizers X X X X

Do not reverse the boat in more than absolute minimal speed X X X

Do not run forward in more than the minimum necessary steering speed X X X

If you have severely overheating oil - do not operate any hydraulics - run main engines

(if pumps are connected) at less load while giving the oil time to cool down. X

If you are running out of oil in your tank - beware that the pumps will be destroyed if

run dry and can then also cause other damage to the power source driving them. If you

have to run engines with pumps directly ﬁ tted, disconnect mechanically the pump ﬁ rst

so that it does not pump. If you have severely overheating oil - do not operate
