9.3 Pylon

The motor and the electronic control system are located in the pylon. They generate the

propulsion. In addition, several protective functions are integrated:

1. Temperature protection: If the motor overheats, the motor control system reduces the

output of the drive until a temperature equilibrium is established between generated

and disposed heat. Above a critical temperature the motor stops and the display shows

error code E02 or E08.

2. Under-voltage protection:Ifthevoltagefallsbelow16V(Cruise2.0R)/36V(Cruise

4.0 R), the electronic controller switches the drive off to prevent over-discharging the

batteries. The display shows error code E06.

3. Blocking protection: If the propeller is blocked or stuck, the motor would normally take

in too much power. In this case, the motor is switched off within a few hundredths of

a second to protect the electronics, motor winding and propeller. After removing the

blockage you can switch the motor on again. If there is a blockage the display shows

error code E05.

4. Cable break protection: If the connection cable is damaged, i.e. if the connection to the

remote throttle is broken the motor will not start, respectively it will stop. An error code

is shown on the display.

5. Throttle control: The speed at which the propeller adjusts to a changed tiller position is

limited in order to protect mechanical drive parts and to avoid short-term peak current.

The ﬁn supports steering movements and protects the propeller if it comes into contact

with the bottom.
