Dufour 530 - Batteries; 220;110 Volt Installation (ISO 13297:2000)

ENGLISH 28-04-2020 13/97 DUFOUR 530
Batteries
The battery installation consists of four 140 Ah standard auxiliary batteries (plus additional optional
batteries) and one 105 Ah engine battery.
Their capacities have been designed to handle the power requirements of the on-board accessories.
To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance and correct charging
of the batteries.
CAUTION!
 When you install new electrical devices, make sure that the overall consumption of these
devices remains proportional to the capacity of your batteries.
When disconnecting or replacing batteries:
 Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before the positive (+) terminal.
 Never allow a conductive object (tools, etc.) to bridge across the two battery terminals.
 When handling batteries, avoid any leakage of electrolyte liquid by keeping them horizontal.
Wear gloves and proper clothing to avoid any risk of contact with the electrolyte in the event
of a leak.
 In the event of a projection of electrolyte, thoroughly rinse the part of the body concerned and
consult a doctor
 Never add distilled water to a maintenance-free battery
 Battery installations should be replaced in their entirety
 Do not connect batteries that use different technologies
 Do not connect batteries whose capacities and lifespans differ by more than 10%
Electric windlass
CAUTION!
When you use the electric windlass, it is essential to run your engine with a slight acceleration.
220/110 Volt Installation (ISO 13297:2000)
DANGER!
The on-board 220V installation is protected by a circuit breaker and fitted with a residual current
device. The wiring of additional 220V on-board accessories must be carried out by professionals
and the master circuit-breaker uprated if necessary.
- Do not modify the electrical installation of the boat or the relevant layout. Installation, modification
and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified naval electrician. Have the system checked
every 2 years
- Disconnect the boat power supply when the system is not in use.
- Connect the metallic housing of on-board electrical devices to the boat’s protection conductor
(green conductor or green with a yellow stripe).
- Use double-insulated or earthed electrical appliances.
CAUTION!
When the boat is moored at the quayside, set the isolator to the open position.
