Safety 3

3. Safety Only qualified electricians with proper safety equipment should make installation of Simarine electronics. When working with batteries, you should wear protective clothing and eye protection. CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that can burn your eyes, skin, and clothing. Should the acid come in contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, wash it immediately with soap under fresh water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical support immediately. CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat up, catch fire, or explode. CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke, allow flames, or sparks near the battery. Make sure to keep sufficient ventilation around the battery. CAUTION: When working with a battery, remove all personal metal items like watches, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Metal items in contact with the battery terminals might cause a short circuit with a very high electric current, which may heat up and melt nearby objects and cause severe burns.

You can select between English, German, and French. More languages will be added with future firmware upgrades. 6.5 Units You can change units by navigating to GENERAL SETTINGS > UNITS. There, you can select your preferred units for temperature, tank volume, and water measurement. 6.6 Battery configuration

The Caravan Panel shows all correctly configured batteries. Each correctly configured battery will automatically appear on the Caravan Panel. You can find the description for setting up a battery on the Caravan Panel in the following section.

6.6.1 Add new battery The following steps are valid for digital shunts SC303, SC302T and SC503. In the settings menu, navigate to DEVICES > BATTERIES. Select “Add new” and fill in the required data. · Name the battery/battery bank accordingly (STARTER, SERVICE, MAIN, etc.) · Select the battery type (Wet low maintenance, Wet maintenance free, AGM, Deep cycle, Gel, LiFePO4). · Fill in the battery capacity for the next C ratings: C/20, C/10, and C/5. If you don’t know all the ratings, fill in just the ratings that you know. It is highly recommended to fill at least two C ratings (one is not enough for precise calculations). A C rating is simply a battery’s capacity (or Ah/amp hour rating) when discharged over a specific period. Usually, the C rating is specified on the battery label. For correct operation, set unknown ratings as “Not set”! · Select a voltmeter connected to the battery. You can only see voltmeters that are not already used by other battery configurations.

· Select the current sensor connected to the battery. You can only select current sensors that are not already used by an existing battery configuration. For a battery configuration without a shunt, leave the current sensor empty. · Select a temperature sensor if you have one installed. · Confirm and save the battery configuration with the button. After you exit the settings menu, the new battery should be visible on one of the Caravan’s screens.

6.7 Tank configuration

The Caravan panel shows all properly configured tanks. Each configured tank will automatically show up on the screen of the Caravan Panel. You can find the description for setting up a tank on the Caravan Panel in the following section. 6.7.1 Add new Tank The following steps are valid for modules SCQ25T, SC302T and ST107. The selected module needs to be installed properly. Find the installation described in the corresponding module manual. After successfully installing the module, you can configure the tank by following these steps: In the settings menu, navigate to DEVICES > TANKS. Select “Add new” and fill in the required data. · NAME – name the tank accordingly (FRESH WATER, WASTEWATER, FUEL 1, etc.). · TYPE – select the tank type (WATER, FUEL, WASTEWATER), which defines the color of the tank on Caravan’s screen. · SENSOR TYPE – select the used sensor type (RESISTANCE or VOLTAGE). · SENSOR – select the used sensor from the list.

· CAPACITY – enter the full tank capacity.

· CALIBRATION POINTS – add calibration points for different tank levels. At least two calibration points are required for a correct configuration. More calibration points will enable the Caravan Panel to show tank levels more accurately. Up to 11 calibration points can be added. Set the tank fill volume (liters or gallons) and a corresponding sensor value (resistance or voltage) for each calibration point.

· Confirm and save the tank configuration with the button.

After you exit the settings menu, the new tank should be visible on one of the Caravan’s screens (visible on the main menu screen). 6.8 Caravan Panel buttons

Here you can choose the quantity, the device, low and high values for alarm, and you can turn the high/low-value alarms on and off.

· ALARM LOW: Low-value alarm activates when the measured value is lower than the set alarm value. · ALARM HIGH: High-value alarm activates when the measured value is higher than the set alarm value.

After you select ALARM LOW or ALARM HIGH, the following alarm settings will appear:

· ALARM STATE is used to enable or disable the alarm. · ALARM VALUE is a limit value which activates the alarm. · SILENT, if enabled, there will be no audible signal when the alarm activates. The alarm warning will only appear on the screen of the Caravan Panel. · ALARM DELAY is the time delay of the alarm activation. The alarm activates when the measured value is below (for alarm low) or above (for alarm high) the alarm value during the delay period. · ALARM DURATION is the selected duration of the alarm. It is set to 5 minutes by default. · OUTPUT is the digital output that is turned on during an active alarm. 6.9.2.1 Alarm screen When an alarm is triggered, it is shown on the Caravan Panel (see image below). There you can change the alarm state: · Hide hides the alarm from the display, but it is still active in the background. The output is active (if it is set up). · Snooze for 5 or 30 minutes, which means it is hidden for 5 or 30 minutes and then displayed again if still active. The output is active (if it is set up). · Dismiss turns the alarm and output (if it is set up) off for 24h.

If multiple alarms are active at the same time, they are displayed alternately.

If at least one alarm is active, the alarm entry is displayed in top of the menu settings. There you can view all currently active alarms. 6.9.3 Devices Here you can manage all the devices connected to your Caravan Panel. When you connect a new module to your Caravan Panel system (e.g. a new shunt), some new devices will automatically appear on the device list (e.g. current sensors, voltmeters, ohmmeters, etc.). These devices automatically appear because they are integrated into the modules. But “secondary” devices – those that are connected to the modules (BATTERIES, TANKS, THERMOMETERS, and analog INCLINOMETERS) – will not be added automatically. If you connect a new battery, tank, or thermometer, you have to add and configure the new device manually in the DEVICES menu. Devices are classified into device types. To view, manage, add, or delete a specific device, please select the corresponding device type from the list (e.g. BATTERIES, TANKS, etc.).
