IMPORTANT:
Please read the entire instruction carefully before starting on the installation work.
The installation instructions are only produced for professional use of qualified personnel and are
not intended for non-professional use. Engbo will not assume any liability whatsoever for damage
incurred, either damage to materials or personal injury, which may result if the installation
instructions are not followed or if the work is carried out by non-professional personnel.
The manufacturer does not assume any liability for the installation of the thruster panels.
Qualified installers should be familiar with these installation instructions. The responsibility for the
installation rests entirely on the installer. Compliance with regulations must be ensured by the
installer. Faulty installation or connection of any components will render any warranty given by
Engbo AS void.
IMPORTANT:
When installed in boats approved or classified according to international or special national rules,
the installer is responsible for following the demands in accordance with these regulations /
classification rules. The instructions in this manual cannot be guaranteed to comply with all
different regulations / classification rules. The remote control is approved for use in EU/EFTA
countries (CE) or US/Canada (FCC). For other countries, please contact your local authorities.
2 OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
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 running 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 when it
concerns MCU with integrated radio receiver, change position on DIL switch 8 on S100 (see 7.4).
2.1 Intelligent
electronic protection control
•
Automatic intelligent monitoring will shut off the thruster if too low voltage.
•
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 at the thruster drops below 9.0/18.0V when
thruster is running, warning will occur by showing orange light power light on the wireless
control.
•
Electronic protection system prevents the thruster from continue to run in case of
solenoid lock-in. (Solenoid versions.)
Max continuous running time: 4 intervals of 30 sec – S2 = 2 min.
•
Automatic intelligent monitoring measures run and pause time to protect the motor and
control unit against overheating.
•
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 need to 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.
•
Time delay when changing direction protects against mechanical and electric overload.
•
Shear pin between thruster motor and drive shaft protects mechanical parts if the
propeller is obstructed from rotation.
