Operating Manual Ultralight 402

9. Operation
9.4 Pylon
The
motor
and the
electronic control system
are located in the pylon and generate the
propulsion. In addition, several protective functions are integrated:
1.
Temperature protection:
If the motor overheats, the motor control system reduces the
output of the drive until a temperature equilibrium is established between generated
and disposed heat. Above a critical temperature the motor stops and the display shows
error code E02 or E08.
2.
Blocking protection:
If the propeller is blocked or stuck, the motor would normally
consume too much power. In this case, the motor is switched off within a few
hundredths of a second to protect the electronics, motor winding, and propeller.
After removing the blockage you can switch the motor on again. If there is a blockage
the display shows error code E05.
3.
Cable break protection:
If the connection cable is damaged, i.e. if the connection to the
remote throttle, battery or motor is broken the motor will not start or stops. An error
code starting with E3 and containing another number is shown on the display.
4.
Throttle control:
The propeller rev change responds slowly to protect mechanical drive
components and avoid short-term power peaks.
5.
Location sensor:
The Ultralight has an integrated protective device that switches the
motor off when it is at a particular slope (90°). This prevents the propeller turning if the
boat capsizes or tilts further.

What to do
E43
Battery empty
Charge battery. Motor can be used again
slowly from the stop position if necessary.
E45
Battery overcurrent
Switch motor off and on again.
E46
Battery operating
temperature error
Battery cells outside operating temperature
between -20 °C and +65 °C / -4 °F and +150 °F.
The motor can be used again when the
temperature has stabilized.
E48
Charging temperature
error
Charging will continue when the cell
temperature is between 0 °C and +45 °C /
+32 °F and +115 °F.
