Explanation of the display
The letters
F (Forward)
,
N (Neutral)
, and
R (Reverse)
in the top left corner of the screen indicate
whether your throttle lever is in forward, neutral, or reverse.
The green circle displays the power drawn from the battery by the system in kilowatts (power lower
than 1 kW is indicated in watts). The orange circle shows the indication of the remaining battery capacity
(also known as “state of charge”) in percentage.
In “Time left,” you can see the remaining running time in hours and minutes. This is only displayed when
the engine is in F (forward) or R (reverse) and power is being used. If the engine is in N (neutral), no value
is displayed here. The meter starts from the last saved value. Even upon restarting, the counting begins
from the last saved value unless you set it to 100% because the batteries are charged (see instructions
below).
RPM
displays the engine RPM, which is also the RPM of the propeller.
The
orange warning triangl
e
indicates the presence of any
error codes
. If an error or malfunction
occurs, a pop-up message will appear explaining the meaning of the error code. If it is an error code
that allows you to proceed, you can dismiss it. At the bottom of the screen, there will also be an orange
warning triangle. Additionally, an acoustic signal will sound, which you can also turn off after reading
the message. An overview of error messages can be found in chapter 9.

If your battery charger has turned off after charging, and the indication shows a full battery (100%),
the motor controller records the higher voltage. At that moment, a battery icon appears at the bottom
of the screen. When you click on it, you will be asked if you want to confirm “
Battery full
.” If you click
“Yes,” the percentage goes to 100%. This notification does not work with a too low voltage, preventing
incorrect resets to fully charged. You only need to perform this reset when the charger has turned off
after a charging session, indicating that it has finished charging. During stops without charging, your
display will resume where it left off when you turned off the engine.
If charging is still in progress, the battery icon can also appear because, at that moment, a temporarily
higher voltage is being recorded. If you click on “
Battery full
” at that time, the “Low voltage” notification
will appear faster than usual, along with the indication “Drive slowly.” The battery indicator will then
no longer be accurate until you have fully charged the batteries to 100% again. This process happens
automatically with WaterWorld batteries or VE-direct.
Arriving and mooring
• Ensure that when you have moored, the throttle is in the neutral position.
•
Turn off the system using the ignition key
•
Turn off the main power switch. Note: Also, turn off the system using the main switch when
swimming around the boat or when carrying out repairs or maintenance on the boat.
• Connect the shore power and check the proper functioning of the battery charger.
