6.2 Installation Checklist

6.2.1 Mechanical Checklist

CHECKREQUIREMENT TO BE MET
Seakeeper foundation installed per requirements of the Seakeeper 3 Bolt-in
Installation Details.

* Structure designed to accommodate Seakeeper 3 forces, as defined in Drawing No. 90374 with a minimum safety factor of 3.0.
* Foundation is co-planar within 0.06″ (1.5 mm).
Clearances around Seakeeper meet service and operating specifications and no obstructions are within the Seakeeper envelope.
Seakeeper 3 Bolt-In Kit (P/N 90375) or Through-bolt Kit (P/N 90641) is installed with a minimum thread engagement of 0.8″ (20.42 mm) or bolt passing entirely through backing nut.

* If longer mount bolts are required, they should match the M16-2.0, Grade10.9 specification provided. Stainless steel mounting bolts cannot be used for the Seakeeper 3.
Foundation bolts torqued to specification: 155 ft-lbs (210 Nm).
Seakeeper 3 cover can be removed to access and service the unit.

6.2.2 Electrical Checklist

6.2.2.1 High Current 12 VDC Power Source, Cable 1 & 2

CHECKREQUIREMENT TO BE MET
Connect cable 1 and 2 to customer supplied 2 AWG B+ and B- conductors to allow for routing to 12 VDC power source.

* Connect Cable 1, B+ conductor (red) through 100 A circuit breaker(customer-supplied) and a dedicated battery isolation switch (customer-supplied), directly to the battery positive terminal or bus bar.
* Connect Cable 2, B- conductor (black), to battery negative terminal or DC negative bus bar.
If the 2 AWG high-current 12V power input conductors are shortened or lengthened, use heavy-duty eyelet (closed end) terminals such as Molex19221-0235.

6.2.2.2 Low Current 12 VDC Power Source, Cable 7

CHECKREQUIREMENT TO BE MET
Connect Cable 7 positive (red) directly to a customer-supplied 15 A circuit breaker, then to the dedicated battery isolation switch
Connect Cable 7 negative (black) to the DC negative bus bar or battery negative terminal.
Plug Cable 7 connector end into the DT-Series connector labelled Low-Current 12 VDC in connector on the Seakeeper wire harness.

6.2.2.3 Seawater Pump Connection, Cable 8 & 5

CHECKREQUIREMENT TO BE MET
Connect Cable 8 positive (red) directly to a customer-supplied circuit breaker corresponding to the seawater pump overcurrent protection rating (max 15 A), then to the dedicated battery isolation switch.
Connect Cable 8 negative (black) to the DC main negative bus bar or battery negative terminal.
Connect Cable 5 receptacle end (pins) to Seakeeper SW Pump 12 VDC Out and the plug end (sockets) to customer-supplied 12 VDC seawater pump cable Deutsch connector termination.

6.2.2.4 Ground Connection, Cable 6

CHECKREQUIREMENT TO BE MET
Install lugs on both ends of customer-supplied 4 AWG ground cable.
Connect one end of Cable 6 to nearest vessel ground and other end to ground stud on
Seakeeper frame.
Vessel grounding bus to comply with:
* EM/IEC 60204-1 Clauses 6.3.3 and 8.2.3
* ABYC E-11 July 2018 Clauses 11.5.2 and 11.16.1.

6.2.3 Cooling Checklist

CHECKREQUIREMENT TO BE MET
Purchase seawater pump for Seakeeper 3 to provide 2 – 4 GPM (7.6 – 15.1LPM) with a max overcurrent protection rating of 15 A. Optional seawater pump can be purchased through Seakeeper, P/N 30331.
Connect and route 3/4″ (19 mm) seawater inlet hose from seacock valve to the seawater strainer, seawater pump, and then to the Seakeeper 3 heat exchanger inlet.
Connect and route 3/4″ (19 mm) seawater outlet hose from Seakeeper 3 heat exchanger outlet to the seawater overboard.
Test seawater pump:
* Verify 2 GPM (7.6 LPM) minimum and 4 GPM (15.1 LPM) maximum seawater flow through heat exchanger under all operating conditions of the vessel.
Verify coolant level in heat exchanger coolant reservoir, fill if needed.
