After ADV use, always remember to cut off motor power using the switch.
This is because the ADV electronic control, even if the motor is not running, consumes a
small amount of energy which, in the long term, depletes the battery. The cut off device
prevents the battery from overheating, but if, for any reason, it malfunctions, the battery
would die.

“CUT
OFF”
BATTERY PROTECTION SYSTEM
,
OPERATING
PRINCIPLE AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The electronic battery protection system from total accidental depletion is located inside
the battery and connected in sequence between the battery and ADV motor.
Its purpose is to prevent excessive cell depletion that could lead to the polarity inversion of
one or more cells, with consequent potential battery destruction and possible damages,
even serious, to property and/or people.
When accumulators deplete, voltage lowers until it reaches a limit value. When this value
is reached, cut off prevents the battery from further depleting by interrupting power
distribution.
When the cut off is triggered, the battery no longer outputs voltage to the connector.
To continue battery use, it must only be charged with the specific battery charger (see
battery charger instruction manual) and restore the circuit.
The cut off device should only trigger in exceptional cases and this event should not occur
during normal battery use since correct use does not include excessive depletion.
38.1 P
ROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IN THE EVENT THE CUT OFF DEVICE
IS TRIGGERED
In the event the cut off system triggers, IT IS IMPORTANT you proceed as follows:
1. Follow the ADV opening procedure.
2. Disconnect the motor battery power connector.
3. Remove the battery from the ADV.
4. Let the battery rest for at least 2 hours. This is the minimum time required, in this
case, for the battery to cool and return to awaiting charge conditions.
5. Connect the battery charge connector to the battery charger.
6. Charge following the instructions in the battery charger manual.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Also remember that the ADV inevitably stops running when the
cut off device is triggered. This event is not hazardous to the
diver in any way since the dive was planned taking into account
that ADV use is not considered a safety device or rescue means.
SUEX
S.r.l. is not liable after the cut off system triggers, in any situation, in
hazardous situations or immersions where the driver (at his full risk) confided on
surfacing by using our manufactured under water vehicle.
Please remember that the ADV must be considered as an immersion aid and not
as a rescue vehicle.
