Normal Shut Down

The Seakeeper should be shut down when stabilization is no longer required. This maximizes the longevity of the Seakeeper 1.

1. Press the Seakeeper POWER button. The POWER button will turn grey. The Seakeeper will discontinue stabilization and the flywheel will start coasting.

2. Once the vessel is secured in the slip, switch the high current (80 A circuit breaker) and low current (circuit breaker rated per seawater pump) DC power to the Seakeeper off. The flywheel will continue to spool down to 0 RPM. This can take 2+ hours from full speed. When the flywheel has stopped spinning, 0 RPM will appear on the service screen.

The Seakeeper should be stopped when stabilization is no longer required. Once the vessel is secured in the slip, the high and low current DC power to the Seakeeper should be switched to the Off position. The Seakeeper will continue to spool down to 0 RPM. No cooling is required during this time. Note Seakeeper will take 2+ hours to coast down to 0 RPM from full speed.

Note: The seawater pump may run for up to 5 minutes after the Seakeeper is switched off and is coasting (with low current DC power applied).
