Volvo Penta TAMD162C User Manual

Stop solenoid
TAMD162C – for normal stop* or as emergency
stop**
TAMD163A – as emergency stop**
Normal stop: The solenoid is connected via the stop
relay when the key switch is turned and held in the stop
position (S).
Emergency stop: The solenoid is engaged by pressing
the separate “STOP”-button at the control position, in
the engine room or at any other position.
When the solenoid is activated, the injection pump’s
control rod is moved into the zero delivery position and
the engine stops as the flow of fuel is cut off.
* Applies to engines up to and incl. engine No. 1101052586/
xxxx.
** Applies to engines with a classifiable electrical system and
fitted with an emergency stop.
Stop solenoid
If there are several battery circuits, there must be sepa-
rate switches for the extra equipment. There must also
be a main switch between the extra battery’s positive
(+) pole and the fuse block for the boat’s electrical
equipment. The main switch for the extra battery circuit
should break the current to all power consuming equip-
ment connected to this circuit and be switched off when
there is no requirement for extra current. The main
switches to the engine must be switched off when the
boat is not in use.
The propulsion package must not be electrically con-
nected to other equipment such as the trim tab, steps
etc. Nor should it be used as ground for radio or naviga-
tional equipment or other electrical equipment where
there are separate ground cables. All separate ground
connections should be collected together to form a joint
ground connection which is separate from the propul-
sion package.
If shore power is connected, protector ground should
not be connected to the engine or to any other ground
on the boat.
A transformer connected to shore power must be in-
stalled so that the protective ground terminal on the inlet
side (120/220V) and the negative connection on the
outlet side (24V) are not cross-connected.
Warning! Electrolytic corrosion as a conse-
quence of leakage currents may cause serious
and expensive damage to your boat’s equipment
within a short time. Work on the boat’s low ten-
sion circuit should only be carried out by qualifed
or experienced persons. Installation or work on
the shore power equipment may only be carried
out by electricians authorized to work with high-
voltage installations.
General Information
Electrolytic corrosion
Your boat and its engine/reverse gear have sacrificial
anodes made of zinc as protection against galvanic cor-
rosion. This protection may be rendered ineffective if
there are any leakage currents from the electrical sys-
tem due to faulty equipment or incorrectly connecting
electrical components on the negative side (grounding,
protector ground). The following should always be ob-
served:
The main engine switches should be mounted on both
the positive (+) and the negative (–) battery leads. The
main switches should break the current to all parts con-
suming electricity. Electrical leads should be fitted in
such a manner that they are not exposed to moisture
and there is no risk of them being exposed to bilgewater
in the keelson.
