Safety precautions

Choosing the correct version of furler for your boat:

The key to a safe and properly working installation is correct dimensioning in relation to the boat size the

products shall be used on. Seldén provides dimensioning guidelines in catalogues, leaets and on the

website. If there are any questions about selecting the right product, please consult an authorized Seldén

dealer. All dealers are listed at www.seldenmast.com.

Safety notes regarding the electrical installation for the CXe:

-The installation should be done by a person with marine installations skills. You can nd your local

authorized Seldén dealer at www.seldenmast.com.

-CXe is controlled only by Seldén’s 42V motor drive system.

-Make sure the system is switched o before performing any installation or service.

-Never modify the electric system of your CXe or its installation drawings - installation, alterations

and maintenance should be performed by a competent marine electrician.

-Never alter or modify the rated current amperage of overcurrent protective devices.

-Never leave the craft unattended with the CXe energized.

2. CXe

CXe is a two-speed electric furler for Code sails and with a Selden tack adaptor also for top-down furling

gennakers. CXe is available as an on-deck (designated OD) and through deck installation (designated TD).

Low power consumption

High eciency throughout the electric power and control system. A “sleep mode” is activated to save power

when not in operation.

Powerful enough, but with precise torque limitation.

The electric motor has a computerised controller that monitors the current draw precisely. As soon as it

reaches a pre-set level it cuts out quickly enough to avoid damage to components. The torque level is

programmed into a memory chip.

Resistant to the marine environment

CXe uses anodized 6000-series aluminium components. Plastic components are PC and PA, glass bre

reinforced and UV stabilized. The motor and reduction gear operates in the oil lled and sealed aluminium

housing. The drive units are individually pressure tested before delivery.

A double seal between deck collar and drive unit prevents water intrusion (TD)

Two speed operation

A double control button makes it possible to operate the furler with great precision in the low speed mode.

By pushing both buttons at the same time, high speed is activated.

Limited brake

The reduction gear and motor gives a limited brake function but will not protect against involuntary unfurling.

See chapter 8 for more information.

Compact size. Minimized weight and dimensions.

The electric motor is compact, still giving enough power. This is made possible by raising the voltage up to

42V. Keeping weight and the dimensions in focus during the design has resulted in a small unit.

2.2 Control pack

CXe is used together with the Seldén Power supply and SEL-Bus system. The drive unit is connected to a

motor control unit (MCU), which enables communication with the power supply unit and the OUT/IN push

buttons. The CXe is either connected to an existing SEL-Bus system onboard (only requiring an additional

MCU (Motor Control Unit), push buttons and SEL-Bus converter) or sold as a complete system.

All power supply and SEL-Bus system parts are sold separately. Parts and packages are described in

Seldén Power Supply and SEL-Bus system: Order guide 597-283-E. For installation of the Power Supply

and SEL-Bus system, see installation guide 597-275-E. System illustration.

3 Drive unit installation CXe TD through deck.

Chapter 3 & 4 cover installation in laminated deck or wooden deck. For installation in stainless bow sprits or

other metal designs -see to chapter 5.

3.1 Assembly preparations

Always use protective goggles, gloves, dust mask and ear protection when working with power tools

and in a dusty environment.

Space requirements

-Check so that there is enough space for the installation. The dimensions are given in the section

”2.4 Technical Specication”.

-Note that the deck needs to have a thickness of 50 mm (2”) at the two brackets.

-The deck needs to be reasonably at within the outline if the deck collar for a good t and seal.

-The drive unit has a built in angle of 73°. Angle between AT-cable and deck must be 73°+-2°. Make a simple

template and use halyard to check angle. Adjust surface under deck collar if necessary.

-Do not use the deck collar and bracket insulators. Used only when deck material is metal.

Strength of the deck

Make sure the deck is solid around the drive unit and can handle the load.

Max service load (MSL): CXe 25: 25kN, CXe 45: 45kN.

Tools required:

-Tape measure.

-Fine marking pen.

-Cloth tape.

- ø86 mm hole saw or jigsaw.

-ø3-4 mm drill bit for pilot holes.

-ø6.8 mm drill bit for M8 or drill bit for 5/16 thread if imperial screws are used.

-4x countersunk screws 5/16” in A4/316L quality. Length 1”.

-4x socket head cap screws 5/16” in A4/316L quality. Length 1 3/16”

All necessary screws (M8) are included in the kit.

-Set of Torx and Hex bits.

-Files-half round and round

-Structural berglass putty, wood or other suitable material for adjusting deck thickness if necessary.

-Caulking

-Rubbing alcohol or other suitable cleaner.

-Marine type grease.

-Corrosion inhibiting compound (grease can be used)

-Threadlocker.

3.2 Deck cut-out.

Find the centerline of the boat and mark out the

position of the ø86 mm hole.

Drill a ø4-5 mm pilot hole through center.

For deck thickness >20 mm-drill an additional

hole (A) 27 mm in front of rst hole

For deck thickness >20 mm:

Using the forward hole as a guide, drill from

below with the hole saw.

Drill depth: Deck thickness-20 mm.

Use hole saw or jig saw to make the center hole.

Take caution when using a jig saw not making

the hole too large.

Remove forward portion of deck if applicable.

See next chapter for more details
