Main Current Cables; Circulation Pump - Vetus EP2200E Instructions D'installation

9.5 Main current cables

• Connect the electric motor to the batteries a shown in the dia-
grams on page 60.
• Use battery cables with a core cross-section of at least 35 mm2
(AWG 2).
• With a total cable length (+ and - cable together) of more than
12 m (40 ft), fit cables with a core cross-section of at least 50 mm
(AWG 0).
• Fit the fuse supplied (160 Amp) and a main switch in the positive
(+) cable.
When the batteries are not being used or not charged, it is recom-
mended that they are disconnected from each other using an isolat-
ing switch.
Vetus can supply the following suitable switches:
- Main switch: Battery main switch 250 A (BATSW250).
- Isolating switch: Battery main switch 100 A (BATSW100).
n fit the fuse, main switch or isolating switches in the battery
eveR
space!
Take the following points into account when installing the battery
cables:
• Fit the cables in the shortest possible way from batteries to motor.
• With a long cable length, bundle the '+' and '-' cables together.
• Install the '+' and '-' preferably in such a way that the total length
of each cable to the motor is the same. This ensures an equal load
on each battery.
See '14 Connection Diagrams' .
• Ensure that the cables do not run through any bilge water.
• Ensure that the cables cannot come into contact with any sharp
edges.
• Fix the cables in such a way to prevent wear or abrasion caused
by vibration.
• Use cable terminals to connect the cables to switches, fuse and
motor.
Preferably fit cable terminals by crimping.

• Use good quality battery terminals to connect the cables to the
battery posts.
Tighten bolts securely to ensure a good connection.
Do not use spring-loaded battery terminals!
Grease the battery posts and battery terminals with Vaseline to
prevent corrosion.
• Never change over the connector cables.
Changing over the plus (+) and minus (-) connections will cause
irreparable damage to the installation.
n short-circuit the batteries by connecting the plus (+) pole to
eveR
the minus (-) pole.
Connecting the main current cables:
• Switch all electrical equipment off.
• Prevent any short circuits caused by tools, for example.
• Connect the positive (+) cable first, then the negative.

9.6 Circulation pump

• Connect the pump with the engine unit using the plug and socket
connection.
