Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 1.
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 2. TUNNEL Once the final tunnel position has been determined and all dimensions have been checked, mark the centre-point of the tunnel on both sides of the hull and drill holes of 8 –10mm ∅ on either side. Using a metal rod, construct a compass with a 100mm radius. Insert through the holes and trace the ellipses, as shown below.
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 DO NOT LAMINATE THE AREA OF THE TUNNEL TO WHICH THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED. 3. COMPOSITE MOTOR SUPPORT AND DRIVE LEG The motor support and the drive leg must be centered in the tunnel. Locate and mark the intended position of the holes for the fixing screws and the leg hub. You can use the motor support and the leg’s gasket to mark these holes. In some cases it will be easier to mark and drill these holes BEFORE laminating the tunnel.
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 4. ELECTRIC MOTOR (12 / 24 volts) The upper coupling (motor side) is adjusted in the factory. Position the lower shouldered coupling on the drive leg shaft and push it down as far as it will go (lightly grease the shaft beforehand).
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 Thruster motor power supply (12 V / 24 V): These values are given as an indication, assuming that the batteries are charged at 100% and in charge, that is either 13.8V or 25.4V. The performance data of the is measured with an approx. consumption of 680A and 11V for the CT100, or 430A and 22V for the CT125, at the motor’s connections. Please refer to the characteristics given by the manufacturer of the batteries that will be used (see section 9 “Batteries”).
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 cable run, the voltage drop in these cables should not exceed 5% of the nominal battery voltage. For safety reasons, and in order to obtain all the functions provided by the thruster controller, an electric battery isolator needs to be installed in the thruster motor positive supply cable. Max Power advises the use of an electric battery isolator ref. OPTI3160/3 (12V) OPTI3170/3 (24V).
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 12. CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION Control panels should be protected from the natural elements while the thruster is not in use. Install the control panel(s) in easily accessible positions, without obstructing the main engine and/or steering controls. When fixing the panel with the stainless steel screws, make sure to install the pre-cut rubber seal, as supplied with the panel, ensuring that it is in the correct place.
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 13. TESTS Activiating the thruster when the boat is out of the water, is not advised under any circumstances. Tests must be carried out with the boat in the water, the battery(ies) charged at 100% and in charge, and the engines running. The maximum continuous operating runtime corresponds to S2-3mn norm. However, this can be affected by the ambient temperature. 14. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS In normal “usage” mode, i.e.
Manual CT100 & CT125 May 2008 16. ALARMS OR THERMAL SWITCH-OFF The thruster's electric motor is fitted with a thermal switch as standard. If the thruster motor overheats the buzzer in the control panel will start beeping and the green LED in the red-push button will flash until the thruster motor has cooled down again. As soon as the overheating alarm sounds, there are 10 seconds of actual thruster use before the unit automatically shuts down.
