Electrical System
When in port or at anchor, the engine switches
should be off. Only the battery switch that ac-
tivates the House circuit should be on. This will
keep the port and starboard engine starting bat-
teries in reserve for starting the engines.
Notice:
Current is supplied to the automatic switches
for the bilge pumps when the batteries are
connected and the battery switches are off.
Notice:
The manual battery switches completely
bypass the remote switches when they are
activated. The circuits cannot be turned off
using the remote battery switches on the
helm panel if the circuits have been activated
by the manual switches.
manual override is a yellow knob on each battery
switch that can be pressed to manually activate
the switch or rotated to reactivate remote activa-
tion of the switch or to lockout the switch in the
OFF position when servicing the electrical system.
The normal operating position for each switch is
the “Enabled” Position. Refer to the instructions
printed on each switch and/or the battery switch
operating manual for additional information on
the remotely activated switches.
Remote Battery Switch Operation
Each battery switch and the emergency parallel
switches are controlled by a single switch in the
helm switch panel. Slide the label down and press
the top of the remote switch to engage the battery
switch. A red light will illuminate to indicate that
the battery is now ON. To turn the battery switch
off, simply slide the label up and press the bot-
tom of the momentary switch. The red light may
not turn off immediately or will slowly fade out if
there are no loads present on the system. This
is normal as the capacitors in the system drain.
Automatic Voltage Sensitive Relays (VSR) control
the charging of the engine and house batteries
whenever the engines are operating. The port
and starboard engine batteries can be temporarily
connected in parallel by the emergency parallel
switch in the helm to provide additional starting
current for those engines. The center engine
(triple engine boats) is connected to the house
batteries which are not connected to the emer-
gency parallel system. However, these batteries
will be recharged quickly by the port and starboard
engines when they are running. The engine and
house batteries are also charged by the battery
charger whenever it is activated.
The VSR battery isolator systems manage the
charging current for the 12 volt system whenever
the engines are running. The systems automati-
cally sense the condition of each battery and direct
the available current to the batteries that require
charging. When the engines are started, the en-
gine alternators start to recharge the batteries.
This charging current passes through the VSR
sensing circuits. The circuits sense the charge
and it is split between the batteries, with the low-
est battery receiving the most charge. When the
engines are turned off, the charging stops and the
sensing circuit turns off each VSR, disconnecting
the batteries from the charging circuit, thereby
automatically isolating the batteries from one
another.
