Voltage Sensor Relay; Emergency Parallel; 24 Hour Circuits; Anchor Windlass - World Cat 2009 boat Owner's Manual

World Cat
VOLTAGE SENSOR RELAY (VSR)
The twin voltage relay sensors are integrated into the battery switch cluster. They distribute the charging out-
put from the engine alternator to the "cranking" and "house" batteries. After starting an engine, the alternator
sends electricity back to the "cranking" battery to recharge it. Once the "cranking battery" is fully charged
(13.6 volts), the VSR closes to allow the alternator output to charge the "house" battery. When the VSR is
operating, the LED indicator located on the management panel will be lit. It will remain lit until the battery is
fully charged, or the "cranking" battery voltage falls below 13.6 volts. It is common for the VSR to cycle
"ON" and "OFF" during operation. However, constant cycling could indicate a problem in the system and
should be checked by your dealer.

EMERGENCY PARALLEL

In the event of a battery failure, the "EMERG PARALLEL" switch allows you to mechanically link the port
"cranking" battery to the starboard engine or vice versa. The switch should remain in the "OFF" position when
not in use. To prevent voltage spikes or drops which can damage electrical components, you cannot draw
power from the house battery using the "EMERG PARALLEL" switch.

24 HOUR CIRCUITS

The push-in breakers located across the top of the management panel protect the 24 hour essential circuit wir-
ing. Per NMMA and USCG guidelines, these breakers are constantly energized to provide power for bilge
pumps and memory functions. This helps to protect your vessel even when you are not available. The
"HOUSE" switch does not need to be "ON" for these breakers to have power. Inspect the breakers regularly,
and push-in to reset. If a breaker trips constantly, have your dealer investigate the problem as soon as possible
to prevent damage to your boat.

ANCHOR WINDLASS

A 50 Amp breaker is installed at the factory for owners who request the anchor windlass option; otherwise, a
blank is installed to permit aftermarket additions. If you choose to add a windlass to your boat, contact your
dealer for information on selecting a breaker to fit the panel.
Disconnect the battery cables from the batteries prior to removing or working on the battery management
panel. Failure to do so could result in electric shock. Reference the NMMA pamphlet in your "Owner's
