6.3 Main switch
see diagram page 97
The main switch must be fitted to the 'posi-
tive cable' .
The VETUS battery switch type BATSW250 is
a suitable switch.
The BATSW250 is also available in a 2-pole
version, VETUS art. code BATSW250T.
6.4 Fuses
Main power fuse 1, see diagram
page 97
In addition to the main switch and
main relay, a 250 A fuse must be fit-
ted to the 'positive' cable. VETUS art.
code: ZE250.
The fuse will protect the bow thruster from overloading and provide
short circuit protection for the on-board power net.
We can also supply a fuse holder for all the fuses, VETUS art. code:
ZEHC100.
See page 104 for the size of the fuse to be used.
Main power fuse 2
In the connection unit, there is
a main power fuse on the con-
troller. This fuse must be main-
tained at all times.
When replacing the fuse, the replacement must be of the
same capacity.
6.5 Main power cables (battery cables)
The minimum diameter and battery capacity must be sufficient for
the bow thruster's current draw in use. Consult the table on page
104 for the correct values.
The maximum operating time and the thrust, as specified by
the technical details in your bow thruster installation and op-
erating manual, are based on the recommended battery ca-
pacities and battery connection cables.
6.6 Connecting the main power cables
Connect the positive (+) cable of the battery and connect the nega-
tive (-) cable directly to the bow thruster. Consult the diagram on
page 97 for instructions.
• Remove the lid by unscrewing the bolts.
• Connect the main power cables.
Make sure that no other electric components come loose
when connecting electric cables.
