Detailed description

The simple joystick control Sleipner PJC221 is designed to provide precise proportional control of thrusters on 12V and 24V DC systems. Integrated into the S-Link™ CAN-based system, this panel ensures smooth communication with variable-speed hydraulic thrusters, as well as DC PRO and AC thrusters.

Control and display

The simple joystick enables intuitive maneuvering, complemented by an intelligent LCD panel. This screen provides real-time information, including thrust magnitude and direction, remaining operating time, oil temperature, pressure, and battery status. Interactive menus are available in multiple languages, making system configuration easier via a built-in assistant. Diagnostic functions are accessible directly from the panel or via a computer interface.

Advanced features and safety

The Sleipner PJC221 includes a "Hold" function that maintains the boat’s position against the dock with a single press, simplifying solo docking. For safety, the system integrates features such as "Smart Shut-Off" for thrusters, and the panel is designed to prevent accidental activations. The "Safe Start-Up" function is integrated into the system, and the panel activates by holding the ON button for a secure startup. Audible alarms, with a connector for an external alarm, alert in case of low voltage or high engine/oil temperature.

Design and integration

Made from UV-resistant material and designed to be splash-proof, this joystick is suited to the marine environment. Its CAN-bus connectivity, with "plug-and-go" cables and sealed connectors, simplifies installation and integration. Used with a PRO™ thruster system, it allows only the necessary power to be applied, contributing to reduced noise compared to standard on/off thrusters.

Expert opinion

« Advanced control of thrusters with the Sleipner S-Link joystick »

The Sleipner PJC221 joystick control is a critical component for vessels equipped with hydraulic, DC PRO, or AC thrusters requiring precise maneuvering. Its practical value lies in its ability to provide proportional control, enabling fine adjustments to thrust, which is particularly advantageous during delicate docking or in challenging wind and current conditions. The "Hold" function is a major asset for reduced crew or solo maneuvers, offering valuable assistance to keep the boat in position without constant effort on the control.

Integration with Sleipner’s S-Link system via CAN-bus communication greatly simplifies installation and configuration. The "plug-and-go" cables and sealed connectors reduce wiring error risks and improve overall system reliability. The LCD screen is more than just a display; it centralizes critical data such as applied thrust, remaining runtime, oil temperature, and battery voltage, providing a comprehensive dashboard for the helmsman. This wealth of information is complemented by built-in diagnostic tools, facilitating preventive maintenance and troubleshooting.

This type of control differs from traditional on/off systems by its ability to modulate power, resulting in optimized energy consumption and a significant reduction in noise when used with PRO™ thrusters. While designed for intuitive installation via its configuration assistant, understanding the S-Link network principles and verifying compatibility with other Sleipner system components are recommended to ensure optimal integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is Sleipner's S-Link system and how does it work with this joystick?

S-Link is Sleipner’s proprietary intelligent communication system based on CAN-bus technology. It enables simplified integration and reliable communication between different components of the thruster system, such as the joystick, thrusters, and other control units. This joystick is designed to connect directly to the S-Link network, providing precise and responsive control of your thruster.

What does "proportional" mean in the name of this joystick?

The "proportional" function means the joystick provides variable and gradual control over the thruster's power. Unlike a simple on/off system, a proportional joystick allows fine adjustment of the thruster's thrust based on the tilt or pressure applied to the lever, providing smoother and more precise maneuvering of your boat.

For which types of thrusters is this joystick specifically designed?

This joystick is designed to control Sleipner hydraulic thrusters equipped with the S-Link system and supporting proportional control. The product name "HYD PROPORTIONNELLE" indicates this specific feature.

Is this joystick compatible with propulsion systems other than Sleipner?

No, this joystick is specifically designed to work with Sleipner’s S-Link system. The S-Link is a proprietary communication protocol that ensures optimal integration and performance with Sleipner thrusters and control units. It is not compatible with thrusters from other brands.

What is the supported voltage range for this joystick?

This joystick is compatible with 12V or 24V onboard electrical systems. It is designed to work with both voltage configurations without requiring an external converter.

What does the "CDE STOP" mention in the product name mean?

"CDE STOP" indicates that the joystick includes a dedicated stop function. This allows for quick and safe interruption of the thruster's operation, providing an additional layer of control and safety during harbour manoeuvres.

What are the general steps for installing this joystick?

Installing this joystick requires mounting it in a control panel and connecting it to your boat’s S-Link network. Although S-Link systems are designed for simplified integration, it is essential to follow Sleipner’s official installation manual for wiring and configuration to ensure compatibility and correct operation with your existing setup.

Is this joystick suitable for a tunnel thruster or a retractable thruster?

This joystick is a control device and, as such, it is compatible with Sleipner proportional hydraulic thrusters, whether they are tunnel-type (such as the SH series) or retractable, provided they are part of an S-Link system. The mounting type of the thruster (tunnel, retractable, or external) does not affect the compatibility of the control panel itself, as long as the specifications (hydraulic, proportional, S-Link) are met.
