DC Seawater Pump 12 VDC Power Input Connection Instructions

1. Located the Seawater Pump Power Input Cable (P/N 30327) for Seakeeper 2 “SW Pump DC In” connection on Seakeeper 2 wire harness (as shown in Drawing No. 90470).
2. Connect the 16 AWG positive conductor (red) through dedicated overcurrent protection device (customer-supplied), maximum of 15A, to dedicated battery isolation switch.
   
   • The High Current, 2AWG B+ conductor (red), is capable of carrying the current for both the High Current, Low Current, and Seawater Pump from the 12VDC power supply to the dedicated battery isolation switch.
3. Connect the 16 AWG negative conductor (black) directly to battery negative terminal or DC main negative bus bar.
4. Before connecting the SW Pump Power Input Cable to the Seakeeper 2, check for proper voltage and polarity with a DC multimeter using Figure 15 below.
5. Connect SW Pump Power Input Cable to Seawater Pump 12 VDC In connector on the Seakeeper, DEUTSCH DT04-2P connector.

Seawater Pump 12 VDC Power Output Connection Instructions

1. Locate the Seawater Pump Power Output Cable (P/N 20334) for “SW Pump 12VDC Out” connection on Seakeeper 2 wire harness (as shown in Drawing No. 90470).
2. Pumps rated at 12 VDC, 15 amps maximum, customer-supplied, must be configured with a Deutsch DT series, 2-pin receptacle to mate with the connector as shown in Figure 16.
   • TE Connectivity (Deutsch) DT04-2P Receptacle, 2-Way, for Male Pins (qty 1)
   • TE Connectivity (Deutsch) 0460-202-1631 Pin, Solid, Gold-plated, Size 16, 16-20 AWG (qty 2)
   • TE Connectivity (Deutsch) W2P Wedgelock for 2-Way DT Receptacle (qty 1)

4. The Seawater Pump Power Output Cable must be routed and installed in the vessel from the Seakeeper 2 “SW Pump 12VDC Out” Deutsch connector plug (pins end) to the DC seawater pump cable Deutsch connector (socket end).
5. Connect Seawater Pump Power Output Cable (socket end) to the customer-supplied receptacle end (pins end). The recommended wiring arrangement is shown in Figure 17
6. Seakeeper DC Seawater Pump Assembly (P/N 30331), which is prewired for the Seawater Pump Output Cable, is available as an option with the Seakeeper 2.
