GENERATOR REPLACEMENT TECHNOLOGY Please Note Integrel is classified as an “extra low voltage DC system” and falls within the scope of the international standard ISO 10133:2017 and ABYC E11. It is strongly recommended that a copy of these standards is studied before proceeding with the installation of the Integrel system.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. Electromechanical Battery Safety equipment, including generator sets, transfer switches, switchgear, and accessories, can cause bodily harm and pose WARNING life-threatening danger when improperly installed, operated, or maintained. To prevent accidents be aware of potential dangers and act safely.

Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Take additional precautions when using the following fuels: CAUTION Natural Gas—Adequate ventilation is mandatory. Because natural gas rises, install natural gas detectors high in a room. Inspect the detectors per the manufacturer’s instructions. Hazardous Noise Welding the generator set.

For the boat builder, the Integrel system simplifies the electrical energy system substantially. It is a complete power generation, storage, conversion and distribution system, providing all of the vessel’s energy needs in one consolidated package. The Integrel system also provides additional safety, engine and battery management tools for the end user for handling today’s modern lithium-ion battery banks.

Skills Required Installing an Integrel system is less complex and time consuming than installing a traditional generator, but still requires experience and guidance from Triskel Marine. It is intended to be installed by a qualified installer, with online access to Integrel’s system setup software and other Integrel resources.
2. TOOLS REQUIRED The Integrel system can mostly be installed with (8AWG - 4/0AWG) common electrical hand tools. Most marine electricians • Hot air gun will have: • Cordless drills for mounting parts • Insulated screwdrivers • Thermal imaging camera •...
On/Off Switch rectified to 48V DC. The loom with the smaller cables The Integrel switch should be left on at all times, brings temperature inputs from the engine, generator therefore it should be located in a position where it and ambient to further optimise generation.

This is done through a mobile-based app (currently Android only, iPhone to follow once Apple have qualified it as suitable for deployment). With the system powered up, run the application, and click the ‘connect’ button to scan for the Integrel controller and establish a link: Once connected, you will be presented with a set of dials showing the real-time data from the first battery bank.

Also available in the menu is the option to go in to ‘Setup’ mode. This is only for use by qualified installers and is not intended for end-user application - there is a separate view-only application for end-users. Choosing setup mode will prompt the installer for some details. These include a PIN code to allow login on secured systems (use PIN 12345678 on unsecured systems), a name of the vessel for easy reference, an email address of the installer, and a brief description of the boat.

The Integrel sensors can work on 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks, made up of any number of 12V, 24V or 48V battery blocks (for example, a 48V bank made up of two 24V batteries, or four 12V batteries).

Index Number – this allows sensors to be assigned to specific functions, for most installations leave this as 0 unless advised by Integrel support. Bank Capacity – this should be set to the total amp-hour capacity of the battery bank. This needs to be correct to allow the system to track remaining capacity.
Page 29
Each sensor also needs to be calibrated once installed. To do this, ensure that the battery bank is disconnected so no current is flowing, and press the ‘Set Current to Zero’ button. If the Integrel system is being powered off a particular battery bank, you may need to temporarily power it externally, as described in the installation guide.

Pulley ratio – different engines and installations require different configurations of drive pulley. A 2.6:1 ratio is the most common for a standard Integrel setup, if this needs to be changed please contact Integrel for advice.
