System Test & Checkout - Glendinning EEC4 Installation Manual

1.8 System Test & Checkout
System test and checkout consists of 2 steps:
1) Component installation checks — verify that the components appear to be correctly mounted and
installed.
2) Operational tests — make sure the system is operating correctly.
Component Installation Checks
A. Control Processor
1.1 Verify Control Processor is securely fastened to boat structure.
1.2 Verify electrical power connections:
Battery Negatives—Negatives from both batteries should be connected (not at Control Processor. It is vital
that there be zero voltage potential between battery negative terminals. Battery negative terminals should be
connected to Bonding system also.
Negative Lead—Negative wire from EEC4 system is connected to single battery negative.
Positive Leads—Power should be connected from Battery positive terminal or disconnect switch (battery side
of switch) to CP via 10 amp fuse / circuit breaker.
Check that all battery connections are tight.
Verify that Bonding Wire is properly connected to Bonding stud (see sec. 1.7, pg. 9).
1.3 Engine / Gear Harness Connections — Verify that all connectors are properly and tightly inserted into their
receptacles. Verify that the harnesses are connected to the appropriate plug for each engine (example: STBD
engine / gear harness plugged into STBD engine plugs on Control Processor).
1.4 Station Communication Cable Connections — make sure that the cable nuts are tightened and that the maxi-
mum gap between the nut and connector is 2 mm (1/16 inch) — see diagram on page ??
1.5 Verify that all harness connections at each engine are tight and that connectors are fully engaged.
B. Control Head(s)
2.1 Verify Control Head(s) are securely fastened to boat structure.
2.2 Verify that Control Handles have an unobstructed freedom of movement (full ahead and full reverse). Make
sure that all control heads are in the neutral position.
2.3 Station Communication Cable Connections — Make sure that the cable nuts are tightened and that the maxi-
mum gap between the nut and connector is 2 mm (1/16 inch) — see diagram on page 7.
