Installation Instruction

MOUNT THE DISTRIBUTION UNIT

Mount the distribution unit inboard where it is easy to connect it to both interceptors and power supply (battery) e.g. the engine room or other suitable compartment.
NOTE!
The maximum cable length (including extra cable) from an interceptor to the distribution unit is 6 m (20 ft).
Mounting Instruction

CONNECT THE DISTRIBUTION UNIT

NOTE! Detailed wiring diagram is available at the end of this folder.

MOUNT THE INTEGRATOR MODULEConnecting Instruction

MOUNT THE INTEGRATOR MODULE

Mount the integrator module on a rigid surface where it is easy to connect it to the distribution unit and other equipment e.g. under the dash or another suitable compartment. If the system will be used with mobile devices, mount the integrator module for maximum signal strength.
NOTE!
0.5 m (1.6 ft) safe distance to magnetic compass.

Mounting Instruction

Mounting restrictions
Mount the integrator module within the angles shown in figures 1-3.
Mounting Instruction

NOTE!
Make sure the integrator module orientation angle (mounting angle relative the boat’s forward direction) is set as accurately as possible (±5°) during initial start-up.
Mounting Instruction

CONNECT THE INTEGRATOR MODULE

Route the cables between the integrator module, the distribution unit and optional multifunction display (MFD) and/or other equipment. Use optional extension cables if necessary.
*External GPS (optional)
Connecting Instruction**

With the integrator module connected, the system can be controlled from one or several sources e.g. an MFD, a mobile device or a Zipwake control panel.
NOTE! Detailed wiring diagram is available at the end of this folder.

Connecting Instruction

IMPORTANT The integrator module requires at least one external GPS signal via MFD, NMEA 2000, Zipwake control panel or Zipwake external GPS.

INITIAL START

Refer to the Operator’s Manual for detailed information about setting up and operating the system.

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM

MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)
The Zipwake application automatically appears on a connected (compatible) MFD. Refer to the MFD manufacturer or manual for detailed information on compatible models and how to launch integration applications such as the Zipwake Integrator Module interface on your MFD model. At first start-up, follow the steps on the MFD to complete system installation.

MOBILE DEVICE
Scan the QR-code from integrator module label 1 to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Scan the QR-code from integrator module label 2 to install the Zipwake App and add it to the device start screen for future use. Follow the steps in the app to complete system installation.

NOTE!
Make sure the integrator module orientation angle (mounting angle relative to the boat’s forward direction) is set as accurately as possible.
Mobile Device

INTERCEPTOR CHECK
Carry out an Interceptor Check to verify function immediately after installation and before launching the boat. Repeat this before every launch.

NOTE! Interceptor Check will not start if no interceptor configuration has been saved to the system (refer to the Operator’s Manual).

The check repeats a 5 stroke sequence, where each interceptor blade is extended, one by one, from port to starboard and then retracted in the same order. Visually confirm that the interceptors move accordingly during the check. This confirms that the interceptors are correctly connected to the distribution unit(s).
Interceptor Check

All readings must be green!
Corrective action is always necessary when excessive servo torque levels are
observed. The root cause is usually the flatness of the transom behind the interceptor and/or excess antifouling between its blades.

IMPORTANT
Always use the controls to move the interceptor blades. Never try to force the interceptor blades by hand.
