Detailed description

Designed for retractable thrusters, the 12/24V Control for Sleipner S-Link retractable thrusters (part number 8700) is a compact, flush-mounted control panel. It provides On/Off control for thrusters and integrates with Sleipner’s S-Link™ communication system. Its clean design contributes to a tidy dashboard, reducing snag risks, especially on sailboats.

S-Link™ Integration and Advanced Features

The 8700 control panel uses the S-Link™ system (CAN-based) for intelligent communication between all Sleipner devices connected onboard. This system ensures robust connectivity with compact, waterproof connectors, color-coded and keyed connectors for simplified installation. The flexibility of S-Link™ allows various configurations with different cable lengths, extensions, and T-connectors. Built-in LED status indicators provide real-time information about the retractable thruster system and display service notices.

Safety and System Reliability

The control panel includes standard safety functions from Sleipner control systems. The "Smart Shut-Off" automatically powers off the panel after a period of inactivity to prevent accidental activations. The "Safe Start-Up" requires activation of two buttons to prevent unintended starts. Overheat protection ensures longevity of the thrusters. The patented "Intelligent Power Control" (IPC) technology reduces delay between direction changes and monitors solenoid functions. Sleipner thrusters often include galvanic isolation to separate their submerged components from the vessel’s electrical system, protecting against stray currents. This control panel, as an interface, is part of a reliability-focused system.

Expert opinion

« Control of the retractable thruster via S-Link: expert analysis of the 8700 control unit »

The Sleipner 8700 control panel is an essential solution for any retractable thruster compatible with S-Link. Its main advantage lies in its seamless integration with the S-Link network, providing robust communication and precise diagnostics. For installers, the simplified wiring is a significant benefit: the sealed, color-coded, and keyed connectors minimize errors and speed up installation. This panel is specifically designed for On/Off operation of retractable thrusters, making it ideal for applications where simple on/off control is sufficient, particularly on sailboats where compactness and the absence of protrusions on the dashboard are valued to avoid snagging halyards. Integrated safety features, such as secure start-up and automatic shutdown, ensure reliability at sea. It is essential to verify compatibility with the existing thruster and the S-Link system version to guarantee optimal integration.
