High Current 12 VDC Power Connection Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. High Current 2 AWG conductors connect the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> to the DC source are supplied as length 13ft (4 m). Approximately 3 ft (1 m) is routed inside the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> frame.
    \n
      \n
    1. If installing cables NOT provided by Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, ensure the folowing:
      \n
        \n
      • Cable lengths do not exceed 29.5 ft (9 m)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cable gauge is 2 AWG or larger<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cables bound together but not coiled<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • When connecting aftermarket cables to the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> motor drive, observe the following:
        \n
          \n
        • Ensure terminal stacks include flat washers, split-lock washers, and hex head screws that came with the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Torque battery terminal screws to 97 in-lbs (11 Nm).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Verify lock washers seated flat and lugs cannot rotate (See Figure 12A).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

          1. Conductor length may be increased, but changing from 2 AWG to larger wire size does not allow longer length than 30 ft (9 m) each.<\/span> The length limit is required to limit the inductance from the high current conductors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Use the shortest length and most direct route to the battery bank as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Bind positive (B+, red) & negative (B-, black) conductors together throughout entire length and do not coil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Connect positive conductor (B+, red) through dedicated over-current protection device (customer supplied) and a dedicated isolation switch (customer supplied) then directly to battery positive terminal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Connect negative conductor (B-, black) directly to battery negative terminal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

              \n
            1. If the 2 AWG high current 12 V power input conductors are shortened or lengthened, use heavy-duty eyelet (closed end) terminal such as Molex 19221-0235 and follow instructions on Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> Drawing No. 90470 \u2013 Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 2 Cable Block Diagram, sheet 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. The bare wire strands should extend fully into the barrel of the heavy-duty eyelet and be crimped in two places if possible then sealed with double-wall heat shrink tubing. Crimp heavy-duty terminals with Quick Cable 4245 Crimp Tool, Molex 19284-0034 Crimp Tool, or equivalent using manufacturer’s instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
