1. SAFETY MEASURES
1.1 Electrical safety
When the hydrogenerator operates in a normal manner (the maximum speed is
not exceeded), the voltages generated by the generator and the charger will not
exceed 120VDC or 50VAC. Thus, the product operates in the extra-low voltage
area. Extra-low voltage is considered to be safe for the operator. However, the
operator is always responsible for monitoring the funconing of the product and,
if needed, disconnecng the charger and the hydrogenerator to prevent hazard
and damage.
The charging current causes power loss in the wires, resulng in warming of
the wires. Abnormal warming indicates a malfuncon in the equipment. If that
happens, the operator must immediately disconnue charging (stop the boat) and
invesgate the cause of the malfuncon. In the installaon stage, the charging
wires of the baery should always be connected last (the generator wires are
connected rst).
1.2 Installation safety measures
When determining the locaon to mount the product in the back of the boat, keep
in mind that the outboard unit weighs 7.5 kg. It is important to nd an opmal
locaon for mounng the product, since the locaon has a material impact on
performance. If possible, request another person’s assistance to ensure that the
product is mounted safely. If you mount the product while the boat is aoat, wear
the required safety gear (a safety vest, for example).
!
Verify the polarity of the charging wires (+, -) to ensure you perform
the connecon correctly. Damage to the charging unit is inevitable if it
is installed improperly. For more detailed installaon instrucons, see
secon 4.4 Installing the charger.
The posive (red, +) charging wire should always be equipped with a
circuit breaker (40A).

1.3 Restrictions concerning operation and the
operating environment
To prevent product breakdowns, the maximum operang speed of the boat is
15 knots. (Note! The charging unit stores data on the turbine rotaon speed and
uses this data to calculate the operang speed of the boat.) If the operang
speed approaches 15 knots, li the product up from the water or disconnect the
interior connector of the generator cable from the connector of the outboard
unit’s cable.
For the winter, the outboard unit must be dismounted from the boat and stored
in a warm (+5°C) area to prevent it from freezing. Do not operate or store the
product at temperatures below 0°C, since any water remaining in its structures
may freeze and thus break the product.
1.4 Safety measures concerning operation and the
operating environment
• Foreign objects such as seaweed entangled in the generator unit must be
removed immediately. Foreign objects (shnets, shing line, seaweed) increase
fricon and considerably increase the force the structures are exposed to.
• Note that in order to operate the product safely, the operator must inspect
the product regularly and carry out the required cleaning and maintenance
procedures.
• The product should be mounted on the boat in accordance with this manual
while observing precision and care.
• Check the outboard unit for any signs of impact or other mechanical forces.
• Check that the charging unit has been installed properly (both in terms of
electrical and mechanical requirements) and that it has not been exposed to
water.

2. PRODUCT INFORMATION
2.1 General description and operating principle
The hydrogenerator generates electrical energy when the boat is in moon. The
turbine of the outboard unit that is installed in the transom on the outside of the
boat rotates when the boat is in moon, running the generator located in the
lower part of the outboard unit. The generator produces low-voltage three-phase
electricity, which is conducted to a charger, installed inside the boat, through a
weather-resistant cable and a feedthrough connector. The charger converts the
electrical energy to a form feasible for baeries (12V or 24V) and also ensures that
the charging sequence of the baery is correct. The Remoran™ Charger 300W
supports Bluetooth® wireless technology which allows the user to connect the
charger to their own smartphone.

2.2.1 Hydrogenerator
The outboard unit of the hydrogenerator consists of a frame, a telescopic blade
and a turbine. The top of the blade is aached to the frame. The top of the
frame is equipped with a locking handle that snap-locks the outboard unit to the
mounng rail fastened to the boat transom. There is an angle guide extending
