Connecting The Main Power Cables And Configuring The Bow And/Or Stern Thruster - Vetus B Serie Instrucciones De Instalación

5 .5

Connecting the main power cables and configuring the bow and/or stern thruster

Make sure that no other electrical parts come loose when con-
necting the electric cables .
The supply voltage for the bow thruster is always 24 volts .
So connect the bow thruster to a set of two 12 volt batteries con-
nected in series .
• Take off the cover.
• Feed the battery cables through the input glands in the cover.
• Apply cable terminals to the battery cables and connect the ca-
bles to the motor controller.
Make sure that the cable terminal on the negative cable cannot
cause a short circuit to the lowest of the three motor connecti-
ons on the controller!
The tightening torque of bolts in the motor regulator is a
maximum of 16 Nm (12 ft-lbf) .
The drawing shows how the cables must be laid in order for the
cover to be replaced again.
• Reinstall the cover and tighten the glands.
To allow the bow thruster or stern thruster to be distinguished
on the CAN bus, these must be configured appropriately .
Bow thruster
The configuration as supplied is for application as a bow thruster.
Stern thruster
Configure a stern thruster by putting the switch on the inside of the
cover into the correct position.

Check all electrical connections after 14 days . Electrical parts
(such as bolts and nuts) may come loose as a result of fluctua-
tions in temperature .
The set of batteries may be charged with either 24 volts or 12
volts .
- With a 24 volt on-board supply, connect the charging circuit to
the battery set, preferably via an isolating diode; see diagram
8.5 on p. 170.
- With a 12 volt on-board supply, connect the charging circuit to
the built-in battery charger; see diagram 8.6 on p. 171.
The built-in battery charger will charge the 24 volt battery set
according to the usual IUoU charging characteristic.
The maximum current consumption from the 12 volt on-board
supply is 80 A. Use a charging current cable of at least 16 mm
(AWG 4)).
