Series / paralell switch box intallation manual 1.0 - 2002
The switch box works like this
When the thruster is not running: (see FIG.1)
The two batteries (battery banks) are connected in paralell so that the extra battery is being charged by
the boats normal 12V charge system, the same charge system that is charging the standard Batt.1.
By this, the extra battery (Batt.2) becomes a full part of the Batt.1 bank and thereby also increase the
capasity of this.
The box is built so that you can draw the
same amount current from the extra
Batt.2 as the thruster draws as the
solenoids have the same capasity in
their inactive position as in the active
position.(and basically nothing on a
boat draws as much as a thruster).
There is no power on the main positive
lead to the thruster until the thruster is
activated by the controlpanel.
The power to the thrusters
controlsystem and panel is supplied by
the series/paralell switch box, via the
grey and black leads to the control side
of the thrusters solenoid only.
Both batteries are now at 0V - 12V

When you run the thruster: (see FIG.2)
When a run signal is sent to the thruster from the panel, the solenoids in the series/paralell box reacts
first so that Batt.2 is moved into a series connection with Batt.1. so that there is 24V on the main
power supply cable to the thruster.
The main contactors on the thruster
does not engage until this have been
done so that you have 24V at the
thruster to control the 24V main
solenoid contactors on the thruster.
Now, only Batt.1 is being charged
while Batt.2 can only draw from its
own capasity.
In this position, Batt.1 is 0 - 12V and
Batt.2 becomes the 12V - 24V
portion of the 24V feed to the
thruster.
Batt.2 can only be connected to the
series/paralell switch box as
described in the manual.
