  • Page 5 Thank you for selecting Remoran™ Wave 3 Hydrogenerator! Remoran™ Wave 3 Hydrogenerator is a state-of-the- art product based on Finnish design and workmanship. We hope you enjoy your voyage with Remoran™ Wave 3 Hydrogenerator! Please read the operating manual in full before operating the product.
  • Page 6 1. SAFETY MEASURES 1.1 Electrical safety When the hydrogenerator operates in a normal manner (the maximum speed is not exceeded), the voltages generated by the generator and the charger will not exceed 120VDC or 50VAC. Thus, the product operates in the extra-low voltage area.
  • Page 7 1.3 Restrictions concerning operation and the operating environment To prevent product breakdowns, the maximum operating speed of the boat is 15 knots. (Note! The charging unit stores data on the turbine rotation speed and uses this data to calculate the operating speed of the boat.) If the operating speed approaches 15 knots, lift the product up from the water or disconnect the interior connector of the generator cable from the connector of the outboard unit’s cable.

    2.2 Contents of the sales package 2.2.1 Hydrogenerator The outboard unit of the hydrogenerator consists of a frame, a telescopic blade and a turbine. The top of the blade is attached to the frame. The top of the frame is equipped with a locking handle that snap-locks the outboard unit to the mounting rail fastened to the boat transom.

  • Page 12: Summary Of The Mounting Steps

    4.1 Summary of the mounting steps 1. The outboard unit is mounted to the boat using a mounting rail. The rail is installed in the boat’s transom by means of bolts inserted through two holes drilled through the transom. The heads of the bolts settle in the groove in the rail and the fastening nuts are fastened to the bolt ends on the inside of [Figure 4 ] Feedthrough the boat.

  • Page 13: Fastening The Mounting Rail To The Boat

    4.2 Fastening the mounting rail to the boat Since the outboard unit’s angle can be adjusted between 0 and 40 degrees, the rail can usually be fastened directly to the transom of the boat. If the angle of the transom is negative or wider than 40 degrees from the vertical axis, an adapter must be prepared.
  • Page 14 Selecting the installation location The rail should be fastened near the bottom edge of the transom or near the additional supporting bulkheads. Select the installation location so that when the outboard unit is mounted on the rail, the turbine remains submerged at all times.

    3 metres. 4.4.2 Installing the cable feedthrough The Remoran Wave 3 sales package includes a weather- ™ resistant generator cable (4*2.5 mm ) integrated in the outboard unit, as well as a cable to be installed in the space behind the feedthrough and intended for dry spaces, with a corresponding cross-sectional area and number of wires.

  • Page 17: Using Extended Generator Cables

    A 22-mm hole should be drilled in the desired location in the transom of the boat for the feedthrough of the cables (Figure 12). Ensure that the 2-metre generator cable reaches the feedthrough without becoming excessively taut, allowing the outboard unit to turn freely. Seal the feedthrough properly with the O-ring supplied with the connector and a sealant suitable for the purpose.

  • Page 18: Connecting The Generator Cables To The Charger

    4.4.4 Connecting the generator cables to the charger Three wires of the generator cable are numbered and one wire is the protective earth (green-yellow). The numbered wires should be connected to the corresponding numbered screw terminals of the generator connection of the charger (Figure 15). The protective earth wire has been connected to the hydrogenerator’s aluminium frame structure.
  • Page 19 To ensure uninterrupted operation of the product, install a clamp-on ferrite filter on the positive charging wire (Figure 17). The ferrite filter is included in the sales package and should be installed as close to the charger as possible. When closing the plastic body of the ferrite around the wire, you should hear a click when the two pieces interlock.

    [Figure 20] Connection illustration 4.4.6 Circuit diagram When connecting the hydrogenerator (Figure 20), first connect the wires of the generator (Figure 21). A rechargeable battery or battery pack may be connected only after that. The connections must always be performed on an unenergised product (the generator must not run).

  • Page 23: Adjusting The Angle Of The Outboard Unit

    To ensure the best possible operation of the generator, adjust its position so that it is optimal (at a straight angle) in relation to the flow of water. The angle adjustment range in Remoran Wave 3 is 0–40 degrees. This ™ adjustment range is sufficient for most boats, and no additional adapter pieces are needed.
  • Page 24 5.2 During sailing The outboard unit must be mounted on the rail before setting sail. (See section 5.1) While sailing, the Remoran Wave 3 Hydrogenerator does not require any ™ action. The turbine of the outboard unit starts to rotate at the operating speed of 1–2 knots and charging begins automatically.
