| | PANEL CONNECTION CABLES Panel connection cables with multi-plugs fitted are available in different lengths (see price-list). BP29 | BOW THRUSTER CONTROL PANEL FOR SIDE MOUNTING | |
| | With on/off switch and rocker switch. Diameter: 102 mm Build-in depth: 79 mm Watertight to IP 65. | |
| | REMOTELY CONTROLLED BATTERY MAIN SWITCH AND EMERGENCY STOP Modern electrical installations are intrinsically very reliable. However a remotely operated battery switch is now required by law in many countries. This VETUS battery main switch can be either remotely controlled electrically or activated by hand in an emergency. This makes it ideal for use with bow thrusters, anchor supplier windlasses or other high current consumers. The switch should be fitted as close as possible to the battery of the bow thruster or other consumer, but always in a position where the red emergency stop button is within easy reach. For remote switching on and off, a control panel is supplied. The standard loom is pre-wired with multi-plugs. Extension looms and control panels are available as an option. In an emergency or if the remote control is inoperable, the battery bank can be isolated by pressing the red button. This battery main switch/emergency stop is available in combination with 12 or 24 Volt D.C. | |

| | These foot-switches may be used instead of, or in addition to any of the control panels. (Ideally suited for installation on sailboats). Watertight to IP 65. | |

| | Attention: When a 24 Volt bow thruster is connected to a 12 Volt circuit by means of a series/parallel switch, a 12 Volt battery main switch must be selected. When a 48 Volt bow thruster is connected to a 24 Volt circuit by means of a series/ parallel switch, a 24 Volt main switch must be used. Maximum loads: 250 A continuous or 800 A for 3 minutes. | | |
| | The foot switches have a protective cover, to avoid accidental engaging of the solenoids. Available with red or grey covers. | |

| | SERIES/PARALLEL SWITCH The 160 kgf and 220 kgf bow thrusters are only available with a 24 Volt DC electric motor manufacturer. By installing a series/parallel switch in a 12 volt main power supply system it is possible that: • The 24 Volt bow thruster will work using 12 Volt batteries connected in series, so as to obtain the required 24 volt voltage. • For charging, the12 Volt batteries are automatically connected in parallel and linked to the 12 Volt charging system. This series/parallel switch comes complete with pre-assembled auxiliary relays to ensure easy connection between the battery bank and the bow thruster. When the batteries installed for the bow thruster are also used for other 12 Volt consumers, it should be remembered that the current is supplied via the charging contacts of the series/ parallel switch. These contacts have a continuous duty rating of 100 Amps, and an intermittent 20% rating of 150 Amps. As a consequence, never use these batteries as starter batteries and never connect an anchor windlass to them. The series/parallel switch functions completely automatically and therefore the operation of the bow thruster is as usual. The 285 kgf - 48 Volt DC bow thruster has a series/parallel switch supplied as standard, to permit connection to a 24 Volt battery bank. This 48 Volt series/parallel switch is also available separately (code: BP3008). | |
