Introduction

This manual gives guidelines for installing a Vetus E-Line electric mo-
tor, type 'ELINE050' , 'ELINE075 en 'ELINE100' .
The quality of the installation is decisive for the reliability of the E-
Line system. Almost all faults can be traced back to errors or inac-
curacies during installation. It is therefore imperative that the steps
given in the installation instructions are followed in full during the
installation process and checked afterward.
The E-drive system consists of five modules:
- Propulsion
- Control
- Energy monitoring
- Energy storage
- Energy supply
Several choices and combinations are possible within these modules.

Refer to the installation manuals of all components before
using the E-Drive system.
Unauthorised modifications exclude the factory's liability for any
resulting damage.
Depending on wind area, displacement, propeller, battery pack size
and shape of the underwater hull, the power delivered by the electric
motor will give a different result on each vessel.
The nominal rated power output is only achievable under optimum
conditions:
• During use ensure the correct battery voltage is available.
• The installation is carried out in compliance with the recommen-
dations given in this installation instruction, in particular with re-
gard to:
- Sufficiently large diameter of the battery cables so that voltage
drop is reduced to a minimum.
- The inflow to the propeller.
- Alignment of the propeller shaft system.
Never work on the electrical system while it is energized.
Changing over the plus (+) and minus (-) connections will
cause irreparable damage to the installation.
Check for possible leakage immediately after the ship has
been launched.
After installation of the system, before commissioning,
check the following points:
- Flexible motor mounts.
- Coolant leakage.
- All hose and cable connections, bolts, nuts and glands.
