Sleipner Control Panels PJC211 & PJC212 — Installation & User Manual

Panel Layout

PJC211: one speed-control joystick; PJC212: separate bow and stern joysticks. Both with information display, HOLD buttons, MENU, day/night and OFF buttons.
Press both ON buttons together to activate; OFF deactivates, cancels or goes back, and mutes the internal buzzer.
Hold MENU for 3 seconds for the menu system; the (stern) joystick moves between items, buttons act on the symbols shown above them.
Display: status, thrust and direction for bow and stern (and STB thrusters in dual setups); battery indicator 8.5V to 12V (12V) or 15V to 24V (24V) and motor temperature 70°C/158°F to 130°C/266°F on single DC thrusters; "L" when a thruster output is limited (extended runtime).
Retractables: deploy/retract symbols; once deployed and idle for 10 seconds, a beep every 10th second.
Forward or reverse speed must not exceed 4 knots when using the thruster.

HOLD Function

Runs all thrusters in the same direction at a fixed level – useful to hold the boat against the dock while mooring.
Press + of the HOLD button in the direction wanted; 6 power steps with + and –. The joystick can add more thrust; on release it returns to the HOLD level.
Thrust in the opposite direction (joystick or the other HOLD button) cancels it.

Level	Signal	Cause (12V / 24V system)
1	Single short beep every 2.4 sec.	Below 9.3V/17.5V or above 85°C/185°F
2	Two short beeps every 2.4 sec.	Below 8.9V/16.3V or above 100°C/212°F
3	Continuous beeps, red backlight	Below 8.5V/15V or above 110°C/230°F

Beyond level 3, HOLD is cancelled and all thrusters stop.

First Start-Up

A new system shows "SETUP DO NOT MATCH SYSTEM – press for auto setup" (no conflicts) or "RUN SETUP! DEVICES IN CONFLICT!" (two thrusters on the same instance). Thrusters cannot run until setup is done.
Hold MENU 3 seconds, select SETUP, then SYSTEM DEVICES; PIN code 9 9 9 9 (not asked again within 15 minutes).
The panel scans S-Link and lists every device with its instance and serial number: set each one's location and function.
Exit to save: the setup is distributed to all PJC2xx panels on the bus.

You need the serial number and location of every S-Link device. Keep firmware up to date with the S-Link Programmer and firmware upgrade tool kit 6 1307.

Device Parameters

Location for every device: BOW / STERN, or BOW-STB / STERN-STB for the starboard unit in dual installations (catamarans). With a Sleipner hydraulic stabilizer plus AC or DC thrusters, set the thrusters to BOW-STB or STERN-STB.
PPC520 / PPC800 / PPC820 / PPC840: direction, type SEP / SRP / SRVP-SRLP, max output 50%-100%, thermo switch, extended runtime (ON by default), asymmetric thrust.
eVision (Exxx-xxV): direction, type E or ERV/ERL, max output, asymmetric thrust.
SR150000 retract: type SR(V/L) ON/OFF, SRVP/SRLP, SRHP/SRAC or ERV/ERL; Auto Retract Limit OFF / 3kn / 4kn / 5kn (default) / 6kn – needs GPS via GW-1; retract fully before exceeding five knots.
SR6 1242 retract: SR ON/OFF or SRP. SRC-3: location only.
RCRS 1 & 2 remote receivers: bow/stern thrust 75% default. MSI8730 interface: thrust 70%, final thrust and RAMP up/down for on/off inputs.
PDC 101 / 201 / PDC-301 AC controllers: location, direction, max output, load share limit, drive type (ACS580 default).
HOLD calibration: balance bow and stern so the boat moves sideways on heading; default 70% max. Joystick calibration (HW V2 or higher) for service, PIN 1 9 0 8.

Alarms

An alarm turns the LCD red and sounds the buzzer; a relay output can drive an external buzzer, warning lamp or the vessel's alarm system.
Alarm Info shows device name, location and fault code, and silences the alarm on all PJC2xx panels; exiting it resets alarms (they retrigger if the fault remains).
Look up codes in Sleipner's Fault Code Navigator.
With a Side-Power stabilizer: "WARNING! HIGH SPEED. STABILIZER NOT ACTIVE!".
SAC power management symbols: Power Not Available, or Reduced Power Mode (thrust limited to 50 %).

Panel Setup (defaults)

Setting	Values (default)
Backlight level / night colour / night level	1-5 (5) / green, blue, red, white (green) / 1-3 (1)
Timer auto-off	OFF or 01-60 min (05 min); 1-30 min with retract
Unit temperature	Celsius / Fahrenheit
When retract is out	No warning / warning every 10sec on the external buzzer
Relay output	Alert level 1, 2 or 3 (3); level 2 only while thrust is sent
Panel facing	Forward / Aft (rotates display and joysticks 180°)
Stabilizer alarms / alarm devices	Enabled / all devices or thrusters only

Default Settings resets all panel settings and erases all system devices: setup must then be repeated.

Fitting

Choose a flat, easy-to-reach spot at least 20 cm from any compass.
Mark and cut the opening with the supplied cut-out template.
Fit the gasket to the rear face; seal an uneven or chipped edge.
Connect the S-Link spur cable; an external alarm buzzer (12V / 24V DC, max 0,5A) is optional on the relay output.
Fit the panel and tighten the screws slowly with grease on the nut threads to prevent galling.

S-Link System

S-Link is CAN-based: BACKBONE cables (blue connectors) carry power and data, one SPUR cable (green connectors) per connected unit, T-connectors or 4-port T-connectors to join them, BACKBONE Extenders to lengthen.
One POWER cable per system, ideally mid-backbone: yellow and black to GND, red to +12VDC or +24VDC. An END Terminator at each end of the backbone.
Avoid sharp bends, close connector locks fully, keep cables out of standing water, add a U-bend before connectors so water does not run into them, and route away from radio transmitters, antennas and high-voltage cables.
Only Sleipner S-Link products or authorised equipment directly on the bus; anything else through a Sleipner interface, with at least one Sleipner control panel installed.
