CAUTION (WESTERLINK
or
NMEA .. 20DO): The electronic components in the Digital Diesels draw a very small amount of amperage (milli·amps)!rom the
gelterator:S starting battery when the unit is in a static state, This maybe as much as 50 milli·ampsfor the system ECU and 50 milli-ampsfor each display.
This can be as much as 72 amp·hours in a months time with
/10
generator use. It is not necessary to be concerned with this slight amperage draw during
normal seasonal use. However,
if
the generator set is not to be used for a number of months, such as winter storage, it
is
best to disconnect the DC power
to the generator with a NMEA·2000 system or shut off the DC·breaker on the generator's control box for a WESTERLINK system.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the Westerbeke generator maybe the DC power supply for the vessel's NMEA·2000 network.
A
CAUTION:
When servicing/changing
DC components, the DC power must be
turned off using either the DC,breaker or the
battery switch.
