4. User instructions
These panels are intended for use together with electrical thruster systems. Refer to thruster system
operator instructions and follow all advice and warnings before operating the panels.
4.1 Operation
NB:
• XForce Thruster(s) must only be operated by persons with knowledge of the
system.
• Keep main engine(s) running when operating thruster(s) to ensure enough
electrical power.
• Only operate the thruster(s) with the propellers fully submerged.
Test running:
WARNING:
• Do not operate the thruster(s) without the belt cover installed.
• Make sure no one is within reach of the rotating propeller(s)
• The propeller(s) must come to a stop before engaging in opposite direction,
otherwise the contactors will burn / fuse.
NB: When the boat is launched check that it moves in the correct directions when
operating the control panel. If not, shift the cables connected to no. 1 and no. 3 on the
control unit, or change position on DIL switch 8 on S100 (Ref. XForce thruster
manual).
4.2 Intelligent electronic protection
WARNING: The system has intelligent monitoring to measure run and pause time.
The XForce Thruster is not permitted to start if the voltage on the thruster is below
10.0V on 12V system/ 20.0V on 24V system. If the voltage drops below 9.0/18.0V
when thruster is running, warning will occur by showing orange light power light on the
wireless control.
Of security reasons, the system permits continuous running of the thruster in 4
intervals of 30 sec. After each interval, the thruster will stop. Switching off / on the
joystick or switch panel will make the thruster run again. If repeated 4 times, (total 2
minutes running), the thruster will cool down for 25 minutes before being ready to run
again. This to protect the motor and control unit against overheating.
NB: In an emergency situation, to save the ship at the possible expense of the
thruster, this protection can be override by turning the main switch off and on.
