3.2 Start Up
- Make sure AC and DC power are available.
- Turn on the boat’s DC circuit breaker that supplies power to the Seakeeper.
- Turn on the boat’s AC circuit breaker that supplies power to the Seakeeper.
- In most cases, the seawater pump will be wired to turn on when the Seakeeper is turned on. However, in some cases the seawater pump is on a separate AC or DC circuit breaker and it is necessary to turn it on.
- When the DC power is turned on, the Display will initialize and the Home Screen will appear. If a fault is present an Alarm Screen will appear.
- To turn the Seakeeper on, press the On/Off button, the button will turn blue. The progress bar will appear and indicate how soon the Seakeeper will be available for stabilization. When the Seakeeper is initialized and up to minimum operating speed the Stabilize button will appear. At this point, the Seakeeper is available for stabilization.
- The progress bar indicating flywheel spool-up will disappear from the display screen once the STABILIZE button is pressed (turns blue) and the ConnectBox will fully illuminate. At this point, the Seakeeper has reached its rated operating RPM and maximum stabilization is available. If the STABILZE button has not been pressed(button is grey), pressing the button will turn it blue and stabilization will be provided. The seawater pump will cycle on and off based on the operating temperature of the Seakeeper 18.
