5.6 CONTROL
CIRCUIT:
A double pole isolator/breaker clearly marked “Thruster” should be installed on the yachts
main equipment breaker board in order to isolate the control circuit and/or electropump
power circuit, when thruster is not in use.
This isolator/breaker should ideally be supplied from an independent battery bank, to the one
used for powering the thruster unit.
Please note that VIP thrusters equipped with an “electronic control box” can only be used
with Max Power’s range of control panels as shown in this manual.
The VIP electronic controller can be supplied by either 12V or 24V – depending on the
up/down motor specification.
The installer must protect the positive supply cable of the VIP electronic control box by means
of a fuse as indicated in the drawing below. The size of the supply wires (red & black)
depends on the length of the cable run and the voltage drop in these cables should not
exceed 5% of the nominal battery voltage.
For safety reasons and in order to benefit from all the functions provided by the VIP electronic
controller, an electric battery isolator must be installed in the thruster motor’s positive supply
cable.
