Electrical And Installations - Beta Marine BV1305 Operation And Maintenance Manual

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
Beta has 6 panels: A -standard
AB or ABV
or ABVW
B
C
The engine harness is common to all.
1. These panels must not be
installed where sea water spray
can get at them. A suitable flap or
cover must be fitted.
2. Panels must be fitted in a location
where the helmsman can either
see or hear the alarm system.
3. For standard wiring diagrams see
following pages.
4. Extension looms longer than 3m
(10 feet): As an option, Beta can
provide various lengths of
extension looms for runs of over
3m, but this kit includes a start
relay to overcome the voltage
drop. (See drawing 300-58520)
5. All electrical equipment must be
protected from sea water. Sea
water or rust in the starter will
invalidate the warranty.
Care must be taken when
pushing the two halves of the
plug together to ensure that
individual pins do not fall out. To
prevent corrosion and assist in
assembly we recommend that the
plug is packed with petroleum
jelly (Vaseline) and then carefully
pushed together. The plastic boots
should cover both halves and
overlap. A cable tie is then put
around to hold the two halves in
position and help prevent any
ingression of water.
6. All cables must be adequately
clipped and protected from
abrasion.
7. Electrical systems shall be
designed and installed so as to
ensure paper operation of the craft
under normal conditions of use
and shall be such as to minimise
risk of fire and electric shock.
8. Attention shall be paid to the
provision of overload and short-
circuit protection of all circuits,
except engine starting circuits,
supplied from batteries.
9. Ventilation shall be provided to
prevent the accumulation of
gases, which might be emitted
from batteries. Batteries shall be
firmly secured and protected from
ingress of water
