CAUTION (WESTERLINK
or
NMEA
w
2000): The electronic components in the Digital Diesels draw a very small amouJtt of amperage (milli-amps)!rom the
generator's starting battery when the unit is in a static state. This maybe as much as 50 miUi-amps!or the system ECU and 50 mitli-amps/or each display.
This can be as much as 72 amp-hours' in a months time with no generator use. It is
no~
necessary to be concerned with this slight amperage draw
dltring~
normal seasonal use. However, iflhe generator set is not to be usedfor a number a/months, stich 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
0It
the generator's control box/or a WESTERLlNK system.
NOTE:
Keep ill mind that the Westerbeke generator may be the DC power supply for the vessel's NMEA-2000 network,
