4.4 12 VDC Low Current or SW Pump Power Failure

If the 12 VDC low current is disconnected during operation, the display will be blank, flywheel speed will decrease, and the Seakeeper will be turned off (no stabilization).

  • Verify the boat’s circuit breaker or fuse supplying +12 VDC low current has not tripped or blown.
  • When +12 VDC low current is restored, the display will power up, the Splash Screen will appear, and then the Home Screen will appear.
  • Press Power On/Off button . The progress bar will appear and indicate flywheel speed. When the flywheel is at minimum operating speed, the Stabilize button will appear so stabilization can be turned on. This may take up to 30 minutes, depending on the speed of the flywheel when the +12 VDC low current is turned back on.

If SW Pump input 12 VDC power is disconnected during operation, the SW Pump will fail to provide cooling seawater flow when required. The resulting high temperatures would result in the Seakeeper being turned off (no stabilization).

  • Verify the boat’s circuit breaker or fuse supplying +12 VDC SW Pump power has not tripped or blown.
  • When +12 VDC SW Pump power is restored, reset any alarm and continue Seakeeper operation.
