Stabilization

To stabilize the vessel after the Seakeeper is On and the flywheel is above the minimum stabilization RPM:

1. Press the Stabilize button. The button will turn blue indicating that the Seakeeper is stabilizing the roll motion. The stabilization mode starts gradually; it takes 5-10 seconds to reach full effectiveness.

If it is necessary to shut off power to the flywheel motor and slow the flywheel for any reason, press Seakeeper On/Off button; the button will turn grey and the Stabilize button will disappear, indicating the command has been accepted. It takes approximately 5+ hours for the speed to slow down to 0 RPM.

If it is necessary to stop Seakeeper motion for any reason, press the Stabilize button. The Stabilize button will turn grey indicating that the Seakeeper is locked. Never attempt to work on the Seakeeper until the flywheel has stopped spinning. In the event that the brake system has automatically locked the Seakeeper due to an alarm or failure, no attempt should be made to bypass the alarm or automatic lock.
