Warning on 12 Vdc network
•
Some on-board services are directly activated by the electrical panel switches, while
the others must be activated by their respective switches usually located near the
services themselves.
•
For each 12 Vdc electrical panel switch there is a green LED that lights up when the switch
is on.
•
The electrical panel Voltmeter (“Dc voltage”), located after the row of 12 Vdc services
magneto-thermal switches, that is to say above the water and fuel gauges (see page 49),
indicates the existing tension in the network connected in that moment by the heavy duty
battery switch.
•
The 12 Vdc electrical panel Ammeter (“Services Consumption”), located under the above
mentioned Voltmeter (see page 49), shows the Ah absorbed by the services in that moment.
•
All batteries can be recharged by the 12 Vdc alternator installed in the engine, or by the
battery charger which, in its turn, can be supplied by the 220 Vac shore network or, if
installed, by the electric generator.
•
Check frequently on the 12 Vdc electrical panel the data provided by the Voltmeter (“Dc
Voltage”) and the Ammeter (“Services Consumption”), in order to promptly intervene in
case of malfunction.
•
Check periodically the level of the battery liquid, also according to the type of batteries
installed.
•
Please bear in mind that the battery liquid or electrolyte is CORROSIVE.
Avoid the contact with skin, eyes and clothes.
•
In case of contact, rinse immediately with water.
•
Check that the batteries terminals are always greased and well tightened.
•
Always keep the batteries clean and dry; absolutely avoid placing any kind of object,
especially metal objects, upon it.
•
Should a battery go out of order, immediately disconnect it from the system to avoid
damaging the other batteries.
•
Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is working.
