4.0. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.1.

Battery connection

To start off the unit an independent battery of 12V is
needed, capacity 18 - 30 Ah min.
It should be connected to the clamp of the generator as
shown in fig. 11 with cables of section 25 mm
distances of 5 metres and with cables of section 35 mm
for longer distances, and following the sequence of
operations described below:
- First connect the positive pole (+) of the battery to the
terminal marked with the symbol (+) on the generator,
(the starter).
- Then connect the negative pole (-) of the battery to the
terminal marked with the symbol (-) on the generator.
- Wipe the connections with special mineral grease to
protect against oxidation and corrosion.
The generator includes an electronic device to
automatically recharge the start-up battery, giving 10
A, at a voltage of 12 V, when fully charged.
IMPORTANT
Install the battery in a well-ventilated area, away
from the generator and from any device which
might produce heat or sparks.
Periodically check the state of the connections of
the terminals and the water level of the battery. If the
cables need to be disconnected, follow the
instructions for connection in reverse order.
Do not invert the poles of the connecting cables
since serious damage might be caused to the
generator and the battery.
Do not connect other loads to the battery.
In order to reduce galvanic currents to a minimum, the (-
) of the battery of the electric generator should not be
connected to the (-) of the other batteries on board.
4.2.

Control panel connection

This connection can be made through the terminal boards
(fig. 12, ref. 1) using the cables provided already connected
to the control panel. The terminals to be used are those
marked no. 1 to no. 9 for the control cables. The earths
braid should be connected to the faston terminal (fig. 12,
ref. 2) insulating them carefully and using a pre-insulated
female faston. In making the connections it is important
to follow the diagram and the colours codes as indicate
(fig. 13). Fasten the cable with the provided plastic
support on the bail (fig. 12, ref. 3).
The control panel contains 5 LEDs for operation and alarm
(fig. 14, ref. 1), an hour counter (fig. 14, ref. 2) and the start
and stop buttons (fig. 14, ref. 3/4/5).
For fixing the control panel is necessary to perforate as
shown in fig.14.
