INSTALLATION SUMMARY
The following instructions set out the main steps in the hydrogenerator installation procedure. This
is only a summary. Please refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for detailed instructions.
1.
Place the propeller onto the device. (See 4.1)
2.
Mechanically mount the hydrogenerator onto the transom. (See 4.2)
3.
Install a WATT&SEA connector kit with cable and waterproof power socket (Ref. PL

4.
Then, mechanically mount the converter onto a vertical bulkhead, as close as possible
to the batteries. (See 4.6)
Make sure that the propeller is not submerged and that it is not possible for the
alternator to run during installation.
5.
Run the converter's power cables through to the batteries. (See 5.3)
DO NOT CONNECT the cables to the batteries before installation is complete.
6.
Attach the battery connectors, then connect the power cables to the batteries : red wire
to the positive terminal, black wire to the negative terminal. (See 5.3)
7.
Once the converter is connected to the batteries, the LED will come on indicating the
current battery power, from red to green. When the propeller starts turning, the color of
the LED will change from violet (10W) to blue (120W) and finally to white (>300W)
