Trouble shooting

Thruster does nothing
- Check that the battery main switch is 'ON' .
- Check if the battery voltage is correct (33.6 - 57.6 Volt).
- The battery capacity is reduced because of very low temperatures.
- Check whether the control panel fuse has burnt out.
- Check if one of the main fuses has burnt out.
In all the above cases, the 'POWER' indicator LED is not lit.
- There is an overload condition.
The panel gives a warning signal three times ( . - . . - ) and the LED
will glow red.
As soon as the controller has cooled down enough, the LED will
resume glowing green and the bow thruster can be put back in
service.
Check if it is possible to turn the propeller. A piece of wood or similar
could have been caught between the propeller and the tunnel.
Control panel fuse is burnt out
