Zipwake Series 400E Chine Integrator Module Kit Box Trim System

The Zipwake Series E 400E Chine Integrator Module Kit Box Trim System is a professional-grade dynamic trim control solution designed for vessels up to 30 m (100 ft) and speeds of up to 60 knots (≈110 km/h). As part of the Series E range, it offers larger, more powerful dual-servo chine interceptors engineered for hulls with sharp chines or angular surfaces, delivering superior lift compared to the compact Series S. With a faster response time, stronger lift, and enhanced performance, this kit provides unmatched stabilization, improved comfort, fuel efficiency, and safety for demanding marine operations.

By combining chine (angled) 400 mm interceptors with the advanced Integrator Module (IM-E), the system offers full automatic operation, seamless integration with multifunction displays (MFDs), wireless connectivity through the Zipwake app, and compatibility with up to three additional control panels. It dynamically eliminates uncomfortable roll and pitch, minimizes wave resistance, and reduces fuel consumption, ensuring superior vessel handling in all conditions.

FEATURES

• Automatic stabilization: Fully automatic pitch and roll control with integrated GPS, 3D gyro, and accelerometer sensors.
• High performance: 5–10 times faster response than conventional trim tabs with superior lift force.
• Chine interceptor design: 400 mm chine interceptors specifically engineered for angular hull surfaces.
• Comfort and safety: Actively reduces roll and pitch for smoother, safer navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: Optimized trim reduces drag and lowers fuel consumption.
• Seamless integration: Direct connection with multiple MFDs and external navigation networks via NMEA 2000 and CAN bus.
• Wireless connectivity: Configure, monitor, and update via the Zipwake app on smartphones and tablets.
• Flexible control: Supports up to three additional control panels alongside MFD integration.
• Expandable system: Connect up to six Series E interceptors with the DU-E and expansion units.
• Durable construction: Waterproof, oil-resistant, and ignition-protected for heavy-duty marine use.
• Upgradeable software: Updates available directly from the Zipwake website.

MAIN COMPONENTS

Chine Interceptors (IT400-E Chine)

Two 400 mm chine interceptors designed for hulls with sharp chines or angular transoms. Equipped with dual high-speed servo actuators, they deliver a 60 mm blade stroke and a blade rate of 40 mm/s, ensuring strong lift and rapid stabilization even under heavy load or high speeds.

Distribution Unit (DU-E)

Provides power and connectivity to the interceptors. Rugged, waterproof, oil-resistant, and ignition-protected, the DU-E is built for safe installation in engine rooms or technical spaces. It powers up to three Series E dual-servo interceptors, with expansion units available for up to six. Includes a 4 m power cable and integrated electrical protection.

Integrator Module (IM-E)

The advanced interface that replaces the standard control panel. The IM-E integrates the system seamlessly with MFDs and mobile devices, enabling wireless configuration, monitoring, and updates. It supports multiple control panels and provides real-time data, ensuring intuitive 3D control of trim, roll, and heading.

WHAT THE KIT INCLUDES

• 2 × Chine Interceptors (400 mm) with 3 m cables and mounting plates.
• 1 × Distribution Unit E (DU-E) with 4 m power cable.
• 1 × Integrator Module (IM-E).
• 1 × Extension Cable.
• Operator’s Manual.
• Installation Guide.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The chine interceptors are designed for hulls with sharp chines or angled surfaces, ensuring an efficient fit and hydrodynamic performance. Integrated mounting plates simplify installation, while optional watertight grommets allow safe cable routing above or below the waterline. The IM-E can be discreetly installed behind dashboards, flybridges, or in machinery spaces, requiring only a single Ethernet cable to connect with MFDs. The modular design enables expansion with up to six interceptors per DU-E, making the system highly adaptable for larger vessels.
