ELECTRIC PLANT
Check that the motor tension corresponds to the electric plant on board. The following schedule shows the suggest minimum battery feeding of the
windlass , the minimum suggested cable section and the proper circuit breaker to install on the power line.
MOTOR
500 Watt 12 V
When the windlass is fed by an inferior battery , the performances will be minimum and the battery will rapidly be subject to wear and tear. We recommend
to use excellent quality cables , insulated and heat resistant. The cable sections have to be increased by 30% - 50% approx. when the extended cable ,
positive and negative , is longer than 10 mts. or 29' . The cables connected to the electric controls , shown on the wiring diagram by a thin line , should
have a section of 1.5 mm² or 16 AWG approx. These values refer only to PLASTIMO circuit breakers.
The circuit breaker protects from very dangerous short circuits , protects the windlass motor , avoiding damages due to anomalous absorption and interrupts
the tension to windlass , when desired. The circuit breaker must be installed in a dry , accessible and visible place. For your safety, we recommend that the
windlass and remote are isolated during navigation and reactivated during anchoring. Install the Control Box preferably in a dry place on board. We
recommend to install at least two remote controls to drive the windlass in case one of them gets damaged.
For the protection of electric remote controls, it will be necessary to install a circuit breaker of 5 Ampere.
