  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION You now have the finest system for the elimination of corrosion ® on under water metal parts. CAPAC , the electrical system which stops the corrosive attack on metal is designed and built with the boat owner in mind. The system is permanent and fully automatic with nothing to be used up or wear out.
  • Page 6 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNER Check to see that the Capastic epoxy plastic shield has been applied to metal and wood hulls around each anode as described on page 9. This shield must be properly installed fro proper operation of ® the CAPAC system and to prevent damage to the hull.

  • Page 7: Section I - System Description

    Section I System Description Components The 90W 12D system consists of four (4) major components, the ® controller, the anode(s), the reference electrode and the CAPAC Monitor. The controller consists of an enclosure housing transistor control circuitry used to establish and maintain the protection of the under water metal. These models of controllers are available to protect the following metals: 37810-1 Potential control setting set by factory to protect STEEL.
  • Page 8 flow through the water to the underwater metal through the ground wire and back to the negative battery terminal. Wherever current enters a submerged metal surface, the corrosion is eliminated. Once the corrosion is stopped, the metal or hull is said to be “polarized”. The reference electrode is insulated from the hull and the anode, and does not receive any anode current.

  • Page 9: Section Ii - Application

    Section II Application The 90W12D system is designed to deliver an automatically controlled anode current of up to 7.5 amperes to the anode(s) from a 12-volt DC source with the negative terminal grounded to the hull or fittings. ® NOTE: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD CAPAC BE OPERATED FROM OTHER THAN A NEGATIVELY GROUNDED SOURCE.
  • Page 10 If the system is installed on wood or fiberglass hulls, all of the submerged metal appendages must be bonded to the common ground in order to obtain protection. When a variety of metals are used on the underwater hull, the CAPAC system will be set in the factory to protect whichever metal has the highest protected reading and no adjustment should be necessary.

    ° the brass hub. Then place reference electrode in a warm (at least 70 place to keep bead soft until installed. 3. Insert the warm reference electrode hub through the hole in the hull and press it in place. 4. On the inside of the hull, wrap three turns of butyl bead around the gland and against the hull and place items 2, 3, and 4 over the treaded stem of the reference electrode.

    The side of the instrument control panel at the helm, Figure 3, 8, commonly serves as a convenient location for the monitor. This location is reasonably sheltered from excessive spray and is convenient for observation. The unit, however, should be located at least three feet from the magnetic compass if one is onboard.

    the fitting. When ground plates are included in this common bond, the current drain on the battery will be higher. It may be desirable to disconnect the ground plate from the common bonding and reduce the battery drain. Radio frequency grounding for any electronic equipment is accomplished by connecting a capacitor (0.5 microfarads at 200 volts) between the common bonding and the ground plate.

  • Page 19: Painting

    Painting ® The CAPAC system is compatible with any paint system; however, certain steps can be taken to insure optimum results. The current demand for protection can be substantially reduced by painting the shaft and propeller. This procedure will reduce the initial current demand and will reduce the time required for polarization.

    Section IV Operation ® To achieve optimum results with CAPAC , the equipment must operate continuously while the boat is in the water. Therefore, to prevent accidental de- energizing of the system, no on-off switch is provided on the controller. As soon as the hull is afloat, the reference electrode creates a meter ®...

  • Page 28: Section V - Service

    Section V Service General Theory The Model 90W12D system is composed of four major components: The ® reference cell, the controller, the anode(s) and the CAPAC Monitor. These units perform the following functions: A. The reference electrode produces a voltage, which is related to the amount of protection received by the hull.

  • Page 29: Determining The Difficulty

    Determining the Difficulty ® The following procedure will help to localize difficulties in a CAPAC system. a) Check for 12 V DC voltage at controller input terminals. b) Check reference electrode (Par. 1 or 2 below). c) Check anode (Par. 1 or 2 below). ®...

    5. To check the operation of the controller, disconnect the reference cell and anode leads and make the connections as shown in Figure 5.2A. The 1.5V dry cell should be connected with a 1000 ohnm 2 watt potentiometer or variable resistor with dial knob. With this hook-up any desired potential can be set into the reference input by adjusting the potentiometer until the desired ®...
  • Page 31 CAUTION: NEVER use steel wool or any abrasive cleaner on an anode. If a reference electrode is connected as an anode, it will be destroyed within a few days. If it is connected as an anode for several minutes, it will subsequently develop an inaccurate voltage.

  • Page 32: Controller

    Controller The 90W 12 D controller functions to provide the correct amount of output current to the anode so that the desired cathodic polarization potential is maintained on the metallic surfaces exposed under water. The controller operates on an input voltage of 12V DC, (i.e. batteries ore rectified or rectified and filtered direct current source) and consists of one integrated circuit, seven transistors and associated circuitry configured to provide the following functions:...
