CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND CIRCUITS
For the plans and the specifications of the electric components, refer to
the specific manual.
S
CAUTION
Before undertaking any navigation, check that the batteries are in good
condition and that they supply the correct nominal current.
S
CAUTION
During navigation both selectors of user and engine batteries, must
always be switched to ON. The selector for parallel connection on both
batteries banks must normally be disconnected, OFF.
S
CAUTION
Do not start sailing without having set to ON both switches: engine and
user batteries and do not disconnect them during navigation.
S
CAUTION
If an operation fault on the re-charging alternators occurs when
underway, set to “ON” the parallel link selector between the battery
banks and let it connected until the fault has been removed.
S
CAUTION
If during navigation a sensitive and a persistent lowering of the batteries
voltage occurs, it is necessary to switch on the current generator and to
make sure that the independent electric batteries charger is activated.
S
CAUTION
The parallel connection system between the batteries sets, driven by a
switch located in the main control station, is used to increase the
boosting power at engines start, under particularly climate conditions or
charge condition, and for a short period of time.
The switch for batteries parallel connection has to be activated only by
placing selectors connecting the engines batteries banks and users to
ON.
Do not use in case of faults on the batteries recharging circuits, for
instance on the engines alternators. We advise to use this system only
in emergency cases.
