FIGURE 2 – SEAKEEPER 3 DC POWER INPUT & OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
1. HIGH CURRENT 12V POWER INPUT
a. HIGH CURRENT 12 VDC POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
i. Source: Battery Bank, 12 VDC, Marine, Deep Cycle
ii. Alternate Source: Power Supply / Battery Charger, 12 VDC
iii. Voltage Range: 10 – 16 VDC
iv. Continuous Current: 75 Amps
v. Overcurrent Protection: 100 Amp (Customer Supplied)
b. HIGH CURRENT 12 VDC POWER CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
i. 2 AWG conductors to connect the high current DC input power are supplied as
length 4m. Approximately 1m is routed within the gyro frame.
ii. Conductor length may be increased, but changing from 2 AWG to larger
wire size does not allow longer length than 9m each. The length limit is
required to limit the inductance from the high current conductors.
iii. Use the shortest length and most direct route to the battery bank as possible.
iv. Bind plus (B+, Red) & minus (B-, Black) conductors together throughout entire
length and do not coil.
v. Connect plus conductor (B+, Red) through dedicated over-current protection
device (customer supplied) and a dedicated isolation switch (customer
supplied) then directly to battery plus terminal.
