Properties

HOLD-FUNCTION

Docking your vessel has never been easier. When pressing the hold button, you can rely on the thrusters to maintain the boat controlled against the dock while stepping off to secure the lines - making docking truly a one-person job.

DC ELECTRICAL CURRENT

Powered by direct current

SMART SHUT-OFF

Sleipner control panels are programmed to shut down automatically after approximately 6 minutes without use. This avoids accidental activation of Sidepower's products, improving safety.

EMERGENCY STOP

With safety at the forefront, this product comes with an emergency stop button to quickly shut down the system with a single button press.

SPLASH-PROOF

This product is manufactured for installations in environments that may experience moist or occasional splashes.

UV-PROTECTION

Constructed from UV-resistant material providing additional protection from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light from the sun.

PRO - VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL

A PRO thruster system with variable speed control allows for more precise handling of the boat in all conditions, applying only the necessary power needed to complete your maneuver confidently.

By limiting the power under normal weather conditions, noise levels are significantly reduced. The system also includes a practical hold-function in a twin thruster system. With a single press of a button, the bow and stern thruster will keep you alongside the docks - making docking truly a one-person job. PRO thrusters are the best choice for joystick interaction.

A PRO system contains three main elements - a control panel, a power control unit, and a DC electric thruster - all tied together with the S-link control system. All mechanical and main electric parts are from the well-proven thruster range produced by Sleipner for many years.

All of Sleipner's 12 and 24 volt DC electric thrusters can be enabled for variable speed control by authorized Sleipner service personnel, even past models.

S-LINK

S-Link is a CAN-based control system with full intelligent communication between all units in the system, much like a computer network.

• Round, compact and waterproof connectors with unique keying and color coding to avoid faulty hookup
• Unlimited number of commands or information transferred on a single cable
• User feedback on the panel
• Intelligent troubleshooting
