SeaSTAR OPTIMUM EPS - Smartcylinders

© 2014 SeaStar Solutions Optimus Installation Manual, Rev. E
4-11
The SmartCylinders move the engines and supply a feedback
signal that tells the PCM where the engines are positioned. Each
SmartCylinder connects to a power steering pump by means of two
hoses, and connects to the PCM by means of an electrical harness.
The SmartCylinder hoses and the electrical harness must be run
in a fashion to assure they have room for complete travel. It is
very important that the hydraulic hoses and harness from each
SmartCylinder are installed in such a way that gives the cylinder
full travel at all tilt positions without kinking or snagging on an
obstruction.
4.3.5 SmartCylinders
The SmartCylinder comes with an 18 foot electrical harness which
connects to the PCM. There are three lengths of extension harness
available, if required. Up to two extension harnesses may be added
to each SmartCylinder. Take care to locate the harness connections
in dry areas (or a junction box) and provide strain relief on either
side of each connection.
