3.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
3.7.1 BATTERY CONNECTION
Use a 12V stand-alone battery to start the generator.
Connect it to the generator terminals using cables of
25mm
2
cross-section for a distance up to 5m (16.4ft)
or cables of 35mm
2
cross-section for longer
distances, following this sequence of operations:
- First connect the positive pole (+) of the battery to
the terminal marked + on the generator (ref.1) (starter
motor).
- Then connect the negative pole (-) of the battery to
the terminal marked - on the generator (ref.2).
- Spread some specific mineral grease on the
connectors in order to reduce oxidation or corrosion.
The generator is equipped with an automatic
electronic recharging device for the starter battery,
able to deliver 10A at a voltage of 12V at full
power.
Install the battery in a ventilated housing separate
from the generator and any device which may cause
heat or sparks. Periodically check the state of the
terminal connections and the battery water level. If
necessary, disconnect the cables working in reverse
order from connection.
Do not invert the polarities of the connection cables,
as the generator and the battery may be seriously
damaged.
Do not connect any other loads to the battery.
In order to minimise galvanic currents, the (-) of the
generator battery must not be connected to the (-)
of the other batteries on board.
3.7.2 CONTROL PANEL CONNECTION
This connection can be made with the connector
(ref.3) using the cable provided already connected to
the control panel.
Secure the cable to the plastic support using hose
clamps.
The control panel carries five functioning and alarm
LEDs (ref.6), an hour counter (ref.7) and the start and
stop buttons (ref.8,9,10).
A hole must be drilled in order to fix the control panel
(see ref.11).
