2.5.3 Operating the installation and specific features
The combination of an AC- with a DC installation offers a clearly higher comfort but requires some
special knowledge.
Charging the batteries
All batteries are maintenance–poor and drain-protected. They are charged via a buffer diode by the
motor-generator. Charging the starter battery always takes priority to ensure a safe start of the engine.
AC–consumers
The only fixed link is the one to the battery charger. The safety contact plug-box at the electric panel is
designed for electric tools to be used for small repair work.
DC–consumers
The essential consumers are:
-
navigation lights -bilge pumps
-
engine displays -tank display
-
VHF-radio wiring (option) -electronic devices
-
devices for comfort
Navigation lights have absolute priority. In case of a lack of capacity all other consumers have to be
switched off first. By a stand-by operation of the engine, even when under sail, the batteries can be
brought up rather quickly. After a while you can switch on the other consumers again.
2.5.4 Important warnings on the DC-installation
Attention
You should never
- work at the electric installation if it is in operation,
- alter fuses or overload switches,
- change the electric wiring and/or wiring plans; this has to be done by
specialists only,
- install electric devices or add parts that exceed the allowed load limit,
- leave the yacht unattended with the electric installation in operation. This
does not go for automatic bilge pumps, fire protection and –alarm devices.
- As long as the diesel engine is in operation, you must not disconnect the 12 V
charging circuit.
Before starting a voyage you should always check
- the battery voltage,
- the correct function of navigation lights .
Have spare lamps for all navigation lights aboard.
