III. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Safety and use instructions for the electrical system WARNING • Risk of fire or explosion can result from improper use of DC and / or AC systems. Always: • Check the condition of the batteries (charge and electrolyte level) and the charging system before going to sea. -
Page 12: Batteries
Batteries The battery bank consists of a 420 Ah service battery as standard (there are 3 batteries of 140 Ah each in portside engine room) and a 105 Ah battery for starting the engine (one in each after cabin, under the bed). The bank of batteries is located on the left after opening the engine room hatch. As a option, instead of AGM batteries is possible to have two GEL batteries for services of the boat. -
Page 13: Fans
ATTENTION ! • When installing new electrical appliances, make sure that the overall consumption of these appliances is in keeping with the capacity of your batteries. • Always disconnect the - terminal of the battery before the + terminal. • Never put the two terminals of a battery into contact with conductive objects (tools, etc ...) •... - Page 14 Use electrical appliances with double insulation or grounding. A differential circuit breaker (DDR) test should be performed monthly if possible. DANGER ! Your boat is delivered without a boat/dock power cable and without a plug on the dock terminal. The cable should be provided for outdoor use. Its section must be adapted according to its length and the power of the main circuit breaker (see electrical diagram).
-
Page 15: Generator
Generator As an option, on the boat can be installed a Generator of 12 kW of power. The generator is located in the starboard engine room. Its function is to re-supply the batteries via the chargers and supply 220 V electricity on board. STARTING OPERATION After having turned ON the cut-outs located in the starboard engine room, the generator can be turned on either on the generator itself or using its control located in dinette near the charter table. - Page 16 2. State of cooling water. The external expansion tank should be filled up to 1/3 of the maximum in a cold state. It is very important that a large expansion area remains above the cooling water level. 3. Check if sea cock for cooling water intake is open.For safety reasons, the sea cock must be closed after the generator has been switched off.
