When the hydrogenerator and the solar panel generate power at the same time, priority is given
to the hydrogenerator. As soon as this is no longer generating power (lifted, the boat is moored)
the converter automatically takes into account the solar panel's charge.
Connecting the converter to the batteries
The converter must be placed as close as possible to the batteries in order to minimize losses due
to cable length. The maximum recommended distance is 2 metres.
The batteries are connected to the converter via a solar connector supplied.
The converter has an internal 2 output isolator that makes it possible to charge two battery units
separately. The 2 battery banks must be at the same voltage.
WARNING : RISK OF OVERLOADING AND FIRE. THE TWO BATTERY BANKS MUST
BE THE SAME TYPE AND HAVE THE SAME VOLTAGE.
WARNING : EACH BATTERY BANK MUST BE PROTECTED WITH A 50 AMP FUSE.
We recommend connecting the hydrogenerator's converter directly to the service battery bank.
The converter will monitor the batteries independently of the other on
-
board units, and will charge
them when required.
N.B. : Proper operation on one external battery isolator is not guaranteed and
may require additional adjustment. Please contact your distributor.
WARNING : NEVER REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE CONVERTER. THIS WILL LEAD
TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE DEVICE.
Please see on next page to properly dismount the solar connectors from the converter.
