5.6.2 Accumulator charge state and
emergency reserve
Always keep an eye on the charge state of the
accumulator box. Always take into account the
amount of time required to return to your starting point.
Ensure that you start making your way back to the start
-
ing point, shore or accompanying boat in time.
The charge state of the accumulator box is constantly
shown by the accumulator symbol on the right side of
the display. As the charge level decreases, the bars on the
accumulator symbol begin to disappear one by one from
the top (100 %) to the bottom (0 %).
The remaining operating time (in hrs:min) is displayed
simultaneously under the accumulator symbol. The re
-
maining operating time is calculated by the microproces
-
sor and depends on the current charge state and amount
of power consumed. Thus, the remaining operating time
is shorter when the power is high and longer when the
power is low.
When the accumulator is discharged to approx. one third
of its charge state, the motor‘s electronic control system
reduces the maximum power incrementally (80 %, 70 %,
60 % etc.). This is done to prolong accumulator cell life
as the voltage decreases, while ensuring that there is suf
-
ficient reserve capacity for emergency mode. The device
begins using the emergency reserve of the accumulator
box after the warning symbol appears on the upper left-
hand side of the display, the accumulator symbol starts
flashing and the remaining operating time is shown as
"0:00". In emergency mode, the power is gradually re
-
duced automatically until the motor comes to a complete
stop. The estimated remaining operating time in emer
-
gency mode is approx. 5 minutes, with a continual reduc
-
tion in power.
Always take into account the limited power of
the craft when timing your return to the shore
or boat.
