WATERPROOF HOUSING
We offer modified versions of Sidepower’s DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in any area exposed to moisture. Hermetically sealed in composite housing around all electrical components it provides the perfect protection to electrical systems that could be damaged by water, making these the ideal choice for installations where it is difficult to ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.
DC ELECTRICAL CURRENT
Powered by direct current
ANALOG
Sleipner analog signal cables with plug-and-go connectors are color-coded to match the wiring diagrams with high-quality connectors to ensure a correct installation.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Detect when internal components become too hot. When an unsafe temperature is detected, the switch automatically shuts off the unit to prevent overheating.
IGNITION PROTECTION
To provide reliable and safe thruster installations in more boats,Sidepower offer modified versions of Sidepower’s DC electric thrusters in watertight housings for use in stern and other locations that may get wet or be exposed to gasoline fumes. These thrusters are fully ignition protected (ISO 8846) for use in boats with gasoline engines. They have a hermetically sealed composite housing around all electric parts. This provides the ignition protection as no gasoline fumes can enter and be ignited by sparks.
The other advantage is that the electric parts that could be damaged by water are also covered and protected, making these thrusters the ideal choice for other stern thruster installations where it is difficult to ensure that the thruster will always remain dry.
SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION
Sealed gearleg with long-life ‘mechanical’ seal where highly polished ceramic and carbon surfaces form the only moving sealing surfaces, ensuring protection against damaging water intrusion into the gear leg. Pre-filled with special gear oil for lifetime lubrication.
Features:
- ‘Mechanical’ seals with surfaces of ceramic and carbon for ultimate security against water intrusion
INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL
The Sleipner unique thruster controller that intelligently protects the thruster from potential inherent problems in all high current applications as well as user faults. It includes several important safety features imperative in a product with such high power, run by DC electrics, as a thruster.
Features:
- Provides delay between drive directions
- Monitors solenoid functions to reduce the chance of solenoid lock-in
- Will stop the thruster in case of a lockedin solenoid, without extra user action and even without controlling a main switch.
SINGLE PROPELLER
A properly engineered single propeller system will be the most energy-efficient thruster. Its compact design fits easily into narrow bows making it the perfect match for Sidepower’s smaller models. With more than 60.000 single propeller thrusters in use, the Sleipner single series system has proven its reliability.
