MPC01
Connecting the battery sensor
In "boat" and "caravan" operating modes, the supply batteries A, B and C can be connected in
addition to the starter battery.
In "boat" operating mode, the battery connection IBS_B2C is not factored into the calculation 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 connection
on the adapter board (fig. 5 6–10, page 5).
Calibrating the battery sensor
I
NOTE
The battery sensor has to be calibrated anew, if
• the battery sensor is disconnected
• the battery sensor's power supply is disconnected
To calibrate the sensor to the charge level of the connected battery, proceed as follows:
➤ Connect a high current load (20 – 30 A) to the battery for a time of 3 to 5 minutes.
➤ Repeat this 2 or 3 times.
➤ Disconnect the load.
➤ Allow the battery sensor some time to calibrate itself (battery current < 100 mA)
I
NOTE
The battery sensor requires a rest period of approximately 8 hours for calibration.
If you want to reset the calibration data of the sensor, disconnect the sensor's power supply.
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 volt-
age 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 connection
on the battery sensor (fig. 6 1, page 5).
