Notes on safety
Please follow all the instructions presented in this manual precisely.
Pay special attention to all passages marked with this symbol.
These are notes which are particularly important for the
operation of the system and for your safety.
Use of the system does not relieve you of responsibility for your vessel,
and requires good seamanship.
Always follow your nautical experience in the interpretation of the figures
displayed!
Safety notes on installation:
You should have the system installed by your shipyard or by a trained
specialist.
Do not wear any metal or conductive jewellery such as chains, bracelets
or rings etc. when working on the on-board electrical system.
Disconnect the minus pole of the battery before starting work, as otherwise
there is a risk of short-circuits. Short-circuits can cause cable fires, battery
explosions and damage to other electronic storage systems. Please
remember that disconnection of the battery causes all volatile electronic
memories to lose their contents, and these must then be reprogrammed.
If work with the power supply connected is required, it is essential to use
only insulated tools.
The electrical outputs of the BAIe and the connected wiring must be
protected from direct contact and damage. The lines used must have
sufficient insulation and dielectric strength, and the contact points must be
shockproof.
The electrically conductive parts of the connected loads must also be
protected from direct contact. Laying of bare metal conductors and contacts
is not permissible.
