17 OPERATION
With the control system breaker/isolator and manual battery isolator switched on:
Switch on control panel, as described previously in manual.
Push red button or incline joystick to the left, boat moves to the left.
Push green button or incline joystick to the right, boat moves to the right.
If, during tests the boat moves in the wrong direction, change the blue and the brown
wires around on your power relay.
When manoeuvring take into consideration the inertia effects, remember the boats
momentum continues after you release the joystick /button, therefore remember to release
the control prior to reaching your desired position.
Care must be taken not to use the thruster in areas swimming areas or areas of floating
debris.
Maximum running time: S2-3 min. rating (depending on room temperature).
18 ALARM(S) OR THERMAL SWITCH-OFF
The electric motor of the thruster is fitted with a thermal switch as standard. If the thruster
motor overheats the buzzer in the control panel will start beeping, while the green LED in the
red-push button will flash, until the thruster motor has cooled down again.
Once the overheat alarm starts, one has 10 seconds off actual thruster use before the unit
automatically shuts down. The unit will then not be able to be switched on again until the
motor has cooled down.
19 SAFETY
Switch off means on both the DC equipment panel ( control supply ) & the thruster power
battery isolator ( thrusters supply ) after having left port & when the manoeuvre is finished,
after docking. Under no circumstances should any inflammable products be stored next to
the electric components of the thruster. Care must be taken not to use the thruster in
swimming areas or at any time when people maybe in the water close to the thruster.
WARNING: Never temper with thruster/thruster turbine, if not 100% sure that both control
and power circuits have been isolated, except if taking electrical measurements on the
thruster motor or relay.
20 MAINTENANCE
The SUPER POWER requires minimum maintenance:
Check regularly the condition of the batteries Voltage drop is the most frequent cause of rapid
deterioration of the relay and motor brushes.
Carry out a regular check of the batteries, connections and power cables.
Remove motor and clean out dust from motor-brushes with compressed air. Replace brushes
if found to be worn by more than 70%.
The electric motor must be kept dry and aerated.
Check relay contact surfaces and replace if necessary.
