Normally, you do not need to do anything else
about the generator replacement system but keep an eye on the charge
level of the battery pack with the CZone application, charge the battery
pack before the charge level is too low, and connect the backup power
supply if needed to keep the bilge pumps running.
Procedure
- If the charge level of the battery pack gets
too low, or if there is a fault in the generator replacement system,
the system shuts itself down.
The bilge pumps shut down, too. The CZone
application shows the shut-down status of the generator replacement
system.
- If you have not noticed the shutting down
early enough, the bilge water keeps accumulating.
If the bilge water gets too high, the buzzer
of the high bilge alarm gives a warning sound.
- Connect
the backup power supply immediately to activate the bilge pumps: press
the Power source transfer switch on
the fuse panel.
The battery of the starboard engine starts
serving as the backup power supply to the bilge pumps. Other equipment
get the power from their dedicated batteries.
- Switch the
safety relay switch of the battery pack to ON position to enable charging
of the battery pack.
- Run the engines to charge the battery pack
and the other batteries on your boat, or connect the shore power if
possible.
