Reversing polarity on the DC power input to the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span> can result in damaging the electronics in the control system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>-provided Low Current DC Power Input Cable, (P\/N 20248) to battery bank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Connect control power positive conductor (B+, red) through dedicated over-current protection device (customer supplied) and a dedicated Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> isolation switch (customer supplied). A 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Connect negative conductor (B-, black) directly to battery minus terminal or negative DC bus bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Before connecting Low Current Power Cable to Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>, check for proper voltage and polarity with a DC multimeter using Figure 14 below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
