Calibrating the battery sensor
I
NOTE
The battery sensor requires a rest period of approximately 8 hours for calibra-
tion.
To calibrate the sensor to the charge level of the connected battery, proceed as follows:
➤ Disconnect all consumers. The rest current tolerance values of maximum –100 mA
(wet battery) and maximum –250 mA (gel/AGM battery) must not be exceeded.
➤ Connect the battery sensor to the negative pole of the battery.
➤ Clamp the blue cable of the connection cable of the battery sensor (fig. 1 6, page 3)
onto the positive pole of the battery (voltage supply).
If you want to reset the calibration data of the sensor, disconnect the sensor's power
supply.
Connecting the battery sensor
In "boat" and "caravan" operating modes, the supply batteries A, B and C can be connect-
ed in addition to the starter battery.
In "boat" operating mode, the battery connection IBS_B2C is not factored into the calcu-
lation of the total current and voltage shown in "Supply batteries overview". As a rule, the
battery sensor for the sideshift bow thruster should be plugged into battery
connection IBS_B2C.
➤ Connect the battery sensor connection cable (fig. 1 6, page 3) to the battery sensor
(fig. 1 5, page 3).
➤ Connect the battery sensor to the negative pole of the battery.
➤ Clamp the blue cable of the connection cable of the battery sensor (fig. 1 6, page 3)
onto the positive pole of the battery (voltage supply).
➤ Plug the red cable with the white plug connection onto the corresponding CI bus con-
nection on the adapter board (fig. 5 6–10, page 5).
Connecting the MPC01 to the voltage supply
➤ Plug the cable lug end of the red cable (fig. 1 10, page 3) onto the left contact of the
voltage supply connection of the adapter board (fig. 5 3a, page 5).
➤ Connect the end of the red cable with the round cable lug to the positive battery pole.
➤ Plug the cable lug end of the black cable (fig. 1 9, page 3) onto the right contact of
the voltage supply connection of the adapter board (fig. 5 3b, page 5).
➤ Connect the cable lug eye of the black cable to the consumer unit connection contact
of the battery sensor on a negative battery pole (fig. 6 1, page 5).
Connecting power consuming devices to the battery sensor
➤ Always connect the negative pole of the power consuming devices to the correct con-
nection on the battery sensor (fig. 6 1, page 5).
