Fuses; Bow Thruster Control Panels; Delay When Reversing The Thrust Direction - Vetus BOW9512D Operation Manual And Installation Instructions

Fuses

A fuse must be included in the 'positive cable' for the main switch, as
close to the battery as possible.
This fuse protects the on-board power cabling from short circuits.
For all fuses we can suppy a fuse holder, Vetus part no.: ZEHC100.
See page 107 for the size of the fuse to be used.

Bow thruster control panels

• Fit the control panel next to the steering position. There must be
at least 50 mm (2") space behind the panel.
If 2 bow thrusters have to be operated simultaneously, for exam-
ple on a catamaran, consult the diagram on page 110.
• Fit the control cable between the bow thruster and the control
panel through the vessel and connect the jack connections to-
gether.
If it is necessary to cut the intermediate cable and reconnect it
take care to ensure the correct colours are connected together.
N.B: The colours of the wire cores in the intermediate cable may
differ from the wire core colours as used on the bow thruster mo-
tor and on the control panel!
If there are two steering positions, the second control panel can
be connected to the first one.
If it is found during test running that the thrust direction does not
correspond with the direction switch on the control panel then the
blue (no. 1) and the white (no. 4) wires on the relay must be inter-
changed.
Do NOT test the bow thruster while the ship is out of water, un-
less you are certain that everyone is at a safe distance from the
thrust tube.
Never allow the bow thruster to run for longer than 5 seconds
with the ship out of water.

Delay when reversing the thrust direction

If a delay is desired where one of the following operating devices is
installed, a delay switch can be installed.
Operating device:
- BPJSTA, separate turn switch (Joystick),
- BPSM, operating panel for side mounting,
- FSxx, foot switch button
