The Interceptor extends a blade which intercepts the flow of water. This water interception creates a pressure on
the hull. It is important that this pressure does not escape between the Interceptor and hull. For best performance
the bottom edge of the Interceptor should be flush with the hull and no gaps or recesses should be in front of the
extending blade.

Remove three of the color bands on each servo cable saving one unique color for each cable. Use this marking to
know which cable goes to which servo during the installation.
For a 24 VDC system a four meter or eight meter servo cable is avalible. For a 12 VDC system only the four meter
servo cable can be used.
The control units are delivered with sealing plugs in the ports which are not used. (see cable position in the figures
on the next page)
Route the cables to a HCU / RCU high enough to avoid water or other liquids.

A steering signal, rudder signal, external GPS or monitoring system can be connected through an interface cable to
either the control panels or the control unit HCU or RCU. The signals are NMEA 0183 based. See EXTBUS manual
for more details.
The interface cable for the control panel also has a remote key switch output. See next chapter for more information.

Mount the cables high enough to avoid areas where water or other liquids may be collected.
IMPORTANT!
When the system is turned off from the control panel or by remote key switch the system enters into
standby mode until the next cleaning cycle is activated. The cleaning cycle is important to keep the
mechanical parts free from marine growth and avoid getting jammed. However the standby mode con-
sumes 120mA per control panel it adds up to 21A in a week . So it is important to charge the batteries
TRANSOM
continuously to avoid draining the batteries.
If the system is turned off by main switches it has no power and the cleaning function cannot be performed!
In case the boat has no continious battery charging and is not able to keep the battery capacity with the system
comsumpion of 120mA per control panel or 21A in a week. It is our reccomendation to install a circuit breaker to
the humphree system and disconnect the system from the batteries when the boat is moored for a longer period.
This will disable the cleaning function so it is important that the interceptor blades are completely retracted into the
ENGINE ROOM
interceptor housing.
The power supply must be distributed to each control unit via separate fuses for each pole that will protect each
control unit. The fuse for the negative pole (minus) is recommended but not mandatory.

Dimensioning of power supply cable
The Humphree supplied power cable (8m for 24VDC) must be cut to max 3,5 meter on a 12 VDC system.
The cable area to the main switches must be dimensioned to supply minimum 12/24 VDC, 10A for 1-2 servos on one
control unit, 16A for 3-4 servos on each control unit.

Do not proceed to operate the system until all servos have been successfully calibrated.
When the system power is turned on, the MAIN SCREEN will be shown and a popup screen will indicate that the
servos will need to be calibrated. The status bar will also turn red, indicating that the servo units need to be cali-
brated.
