NOTE!
For detailed information on operating conditions of system components
such as the battery, charger unis, etc., please refer to the operating manual for
the respective component.
5.1 Notes on conformity according to battery type
NOTE:
Observe all national regulations and laws.
Torqeedo systems with Cruise 6.0 motors and Power 48-5000 batteries meet all
European requirements in terms of electric drive systems for marine craft in the
low-voltage range.
Please note that operating a Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 motor with 2 batteries of type
Power 24-3500 connected in series does not comply with EU conformity, as the
voltage level is above 50 volts.
6 Installation
6.1 Templates for installation
Several installation templates are available for planning and installing your
Cruise system.
You can find the templates in the Service Center section of our website:
www.torqeedo.com
6.2 Prerequisites for installation
Observe the following points to ensure safe and correct installation of your
Torqeedo system:
•
Only carry out assembly work on land and not when the boat is in the
water.
•
Ensure that the boat to which the Torqeedo system is to be mounted is
secure.
•
Boats standing on a trailer must be secured against tipping.
•
The boat and all components must be separated from electrical power
sources.
•
The boat, the transom bracket and the condition of the transom bracket,
must be suitable for the operation of the Torqeedo system; observe the
manufacturer's specifications for the maximum permissible power (kW)
and the maximum permissible weight.
•
Use suitable lifting gear to lift heavy components.
6.2.1 Planning the installation location of the system components
We recommend that you plan the installation of the Torqeedo system in detail.
This prevents delays during installation.
Read this operating manual carefully before installation. If you have any unan-
swered questions during planning, clarify these with knowledgeable personnel
or contact Torqeedo Service.
All components
Keep the following points in mind when planning:
•
Power cables between the motor and battery may only be extended with
Torqeedo extension cables. Use a maximum of one extension per motor.
•
TorqLink stub lines must not be extended.
•
The Torqeedo system operates with high electrical power, so plan the
installation location of the components so that sensitive electrical devices
such as radios or sensitive measuring devices such as compasses will not
be affected. If necessary, reposition the affected devices.
•
Plan the installation of components with cable connections so that the
connections point downwards to avoid standing water in the plug.
Batteries
It is important to mount and fix the batteries correctly to ensure safe operation
of the boat, regardless of whether you operate your Torqeedo system with Power
24, Power 48 or external batteries. During planning and installation, ensure that
the batteries are securely fastened at every stage. When using external batteries,
additional measures may be necessary, e.g. fuses, ventilation, heating etc. Clarify
the measures necessary for the marine sector with your battery supplier.
Torqeedo batteries are specially designed for installation and use in marine appli-
cations.
