VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller . 25/12/05 BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDE. Number 1. 2. 3. 3.1. 3.2. 3.3. 3.4. 4. 4.1. 4.2. 4.3. 4.4. 4.5. 4.6. 4.7. 5. 5.1. 5.2. 6. 7. 7.1. 7.2. 7.3. 7.4. 7.5. 7.6. 8. 8.1. 8.2. 8.3. 8.4. 8.5. 9. 9.1. 9.2. 9.3. 10. 11. 12.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 1. . 25/12/05 POSITIONING Consider the following, when determining the position of the thruster unit in order to ensure the most efficient operation: Find the point the farthest forward (or aft), while keeping in mind the space available, given the vessel’s fixtures, space and shape and while respecting the minimum immersion depth of one full turbine diameter (185 mm). 90° Water Line 185 mm As far forward as possible.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 3. . 25/12/05 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 3.1 MOUNTING BASE INSTALLATION (Please refer to “Build Drawing” at back of this document): MAX POWER can supply, either a steel reinforced G.R.P. mounting base or a 5086 aluminium alloy-mounting flange. These bases save considerable shipyard time while assuring solid and precise installation. a) For GRP hulls the mounting base should be laminated into the hull.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller . 25/12/05 The VIP pushes its thrust plate sideways against the inside of the mounting base when running. This means that one must totally lower the unit and check the following: (a) (b) That the VIP’s thrust plate is free to move up and down. And also that there is no more than 2mm horizontal movement between the thrust plate and the mounting base, especially when fully down. The mounting base flange should be parallel to the waterline.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 3.2 . 25/12/05 CONSTRUCTION OF HULL OPENING & CLOSING PLATE: The opening made for the thruster in the hull is closed by a plate, which can be made from the cutout hull section, or specially fabricated. a) The closing plate should fit into a 15 – 20 mm wide rebate in the hull when in the raised position.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 3.4 . 25/12/05 FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLOSING PLATE: Once the thruster is permanently bolted onto the mounting base, reinstall the closing plate to do the final adjustments.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller f) . 25/12/05 When finished with the final adjustments, fix the alloy plate bracket by bolting through the GRP turbine in addition to the cable clamps. IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that the power supply to up/down motors is not automatically interrupted if the proximity switches do not detect the position detectors.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 4.2 . 25/12/05 POWER CABLE SELECTION: According to the ISO 10133 standards: “The length and cross sectional area of conductors in each circuit shall be such that the calculated voltage drop shall not exceed 10% of the nominal battery voltage at any appliance if the circuit is switched on at full load”.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 4.4 . 25/12/05 BATTERY REQUIREMENTS: When choosing the type of batteries needed for your thruster’s battery bank, keep in mind that it is the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) capacity that is the most important and not the Ah (Amp-hour) capacity. This is because thrusters draw high currents, but only for very short periods of time (maximum 3 min.) Max Power would recommend using Exide, Maxxima 900 type batteries, which have an 800CCA and 50Ah capacity.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 4.6 . 25/12/05 CONTROL CIRCUIT: A double pole isolator/breaker clearly marked “Thruster” should be installed on the yachts main equipment breaker board in order to isolate the control circuit and/or power circuit, when thruster is not in use. This isolator/breaker should ideally be supplied from an independent battery bank, to the one used for powering the thruster unit.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 4.7 . 25/12/05 CONTROL PANEL AND THRUSTER CONTROL BOX FUNCTIONS: "On/Off" Push-button: Black with Green "On" LED. Control Panel: To switch "ON" or "OFF" push down the black push-button, while pushing joystick to the right for one second. Joystick To "Lower" or "Raise" press and hold the "Down" or "Up" pushbutton until buzzer in control panel double beeps, which indicates unit has reached fully down or fully up position..
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller . 25/12/05 4.7.3 Thrusting "Left" or "Right": a) Use joystick to thrust either left or right. b) Please note that it is only possible to thrust left or right when thruster is detected to be fully down. c) The thruster controller provides a time delay between left and right thrust in order to avoid rapid direction changes, but no delay when thrusting to same side. 4.7.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 5. . 25/12/05 TESTS and CHECKS 5.1 a) b) c) d) BEFORE LAUNCHING: Raise and lower thruster. Check that the hull closing plate shuts firmly. Confirm that all bolts have been sufficiently tightened, especially the base bolts. Correct the adjustment of the position detectors, if needed. If the up/down motors function the wrong way round, reverse the two wires connected to the up/down motors.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 7. . 25/12/05 BASIC MAINTENANCE: 7.1 CONTROL PANEL: a) Control panel(s) should be protected from the natural elements while the thruster is not in use. b) The area behind the dashboard should be kept dry at all times to avoid the risk of oxidation of the cable connector contacts. 7.2 THRUSTER MOTOR & RELAY: a) Remove and clean out dust from motor-brushes with compressed air once every year. b) The electric motor must be kept dry and aerated. 7.
VIP 150, 12/24V with Electronic Controller 7.5 . 25/12/05 BRONZE DRIVE LEG: a) Check the oil in the leg every year, and change if necessary (oil drain plug is under the anode - copper joint should be changed). b) The anode should be frequently checked and changed when necessary (At least every year). c) When the boat is ashore, check for evidence of fishing line, etc… in the propellers.
