Introduction

This manual gives guidelines for the use of the E-POD electric motor.
Vetus electric propulsion systems are designed to match the sailing
characteristics of a boat with an internal combustion engine - but
naturally without the emissions and noise! Here are a few key fea-
tures.
Active electric braking
With 'Active Electric Braking' it is possible to stop the boat within one
boat length.
Battery protection function
The battery protection function ensures that the battery pack is not
unnecessarily overloaded. This benefits the life of the batteries.
Boosted Battery Charge function
The Boosted Battery Charge function allows a 24 VDC charger to be
used to charge the 48 VDC propulsion battery pack.
The E-POD system consists of five modules:
• Propulsion
• Control
• Energy monitoring
• Energy storage
• Energy supply
Within these five modules, several options and combinations are
possible.
Please consult the user manuals of all components before
using the E-POD system .
Unauthorised modifications exclude the factory's liability for any
resulting damage .
Maximum permissible ambient temperature 50 °C .
Maximum permissible external water temperature 30 °C .
Keep the system frost-free at all times .
Changing over the plus (+) and minus (-) connections will
cause irreparable damage to the installation .
