1 The H240 hydrogenerator

1.1 Field of application

The Save Marine H240 hydrogenerator converts the mechanical energy of a fluid like water into electrical energy. It works thanks to a clean and renewable energy: the wind.

The H240 hydrogenerator is specifically designed for sail boats.

It recharges the batteries of your boat and procures electric autonomy, ensuring security and comfort on board.

1.2 The equipment at a glance

The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy thanks to a turbine equipped with blades and high efficiency alternator.

The electricity is transmitted to the batteries through a regulator whose main function is to regulate the electrical power produced by the hydrogenerator and have an optimal recharge process of the batteries.

2 Safety instructions

2.1 Mechanical hazards

The rotation speed of the blades can be high and represents a potential danger.

Do not touch the blades when rotating

The hydrogenerator is equipped with an articulated mechanism for a quick and easy positioning into the water.

Do not insert your fingers into the articulated mechanism

When bathing, avoid leaning on the hydrogenerator to get on board.

2.2 Electrical hazards

The use of electrical equipment facilities requires to take precautions. The flow of electricity on a boat is a potential danger.

If the material is prematurely deteriorated (bare wiring ...), please stop immediately the use of the hydrogenerator.

- The regulator provided with hydrogenerator has a heat sink in order to dissipate the heat:

- Do not touch the electronic box in operation.

- Avoid direct contact with materials that can be affected by heat (as tissues for example).

3 Conditions and limits of using

3.1 Transom robustness and flatness

Check the robustness of the transom. The transom must accept the forces generated by the hydrogenerator. In case of doubt we strongly recommend to strengthen it. Seek the advice of a marine professional.

The location on the transom for the home plate should be flat to avoid any torsion which can cause a breakage of the home plate.

3.2 Batteries compatibility

The hydrogenerator is designed for recharging the service batteries of the sailboat. Do not connect it to any other device.

The system is compatible with the vast majority of batteries.

3.3 Maximum speed allowed

The force exerted on the hydrogenerator when cruising increases as the square of the boat speed. The hydrogenerator is designed for a speed range from 0 to 10 knots. A higher speed even during a short period may cause permanent damages to the hydrogenator.

Do not use at a cruising speed exceeding 10 knots

The regulator continuously records the H240 data, including the speed

Save Marine, une division de Save innovations 3 rue des arts et métiers, 38000 Grenoble, France I +33 (0)4 58 00 34 66 I [email protected]

3.4 Bad weather

Do not use the hydrogenerator in bad weather, in particular with strong waves. In that case, remove it from its home plate.

For crosswind-tailwind, care should be taken not to have the hydrogenerator going above the water due to the heel of the boat. The hydrogenator could be damaged when re-entering into the water (severe impact).

3.5 Setting up and raising of the hydrogenerator

Place the hydrogenerator in lower operating position ideally when the boat is at rest. Do not place the H240 into the water (operating position) when the boat speed is above 2 knots. The H240 must be placed into the water, at its operating position, only with arm strength and thanks to the hydrogenator rope provided for that purpose.

The profile arm of the hydrogenerator should be on the line of the boat prior to raise it.

3.6 Use in conjunction with a motor

The strong thrust and the turbulences due to the use of a motor and applied to the hydrogenerator may deteriorate the hydrogenerator.

The hydrogenerator must not be placed in operating position (in the water) when using a motor during navigation. * * except in a case of extreme urgency – man overboard

3.7 Reverse gear

The hydrogenerator can be damaged when the boat is reversing.

Do not reverse when the hydrogeneratot is in operating position (placed in the water).

3.8 Port operations

To avoid any impact during port operations, please remove the hydrogenerator from its home plate prior to accessing the port.

3.9 Anchoring

Do not leave unnecessarily the hydrogenerator into the water while anchoring in order to prevent fouling. Remove the hydrogenerator from its home plate and store it.

3.10 Maintenance

Rinse with fresh water before storing for a long period.

Check all bolted connections of the hydrogenerator and the home plate on a regular basis.

The product warranty does not cover damages resulting from:

the nonobservance of the “limits and conditions for using” instructions,

difficult sea conditions and/or type of shipping outside the recreational sailing course,

shocks in collisions with UFOs (unidentified floating objects) or sea creatures.

3.1 Select the location of the home plate

The home place is designed to receive the hydrogenerator.

The home plate is composed of 7 holes for its fixation to the transom and one hole for the hydrogenerator guard locking pin.

Dimension of the home plate

Recommendations for a good positioning:

1- Check the robustness and the flatness of the transom as mentioned in the “Conditions and limits of using” booklet (page 5).

2- The home plate must be placed as centrally as possible on the transom. This ensures

that the turbine remains submerged when the boat is heeling.

3- The lower part of the home plate should be placed at the waterline transom while the boat is loaded under normal conditions of navigation. It should not be placed higher so that the turbine remains immersed when heeling and limit disruptions related to algae (which usually float on the surface).

1.2 Operate the automatic clamcleat

This is a security element: the clamcleat is automatically activated and releases the rope if the submerged part of the hydrogenerator strikes a heavy object.

It ensures that the rope maintains the profil arm and turbine in functioning position and releases it in case of shock. This ensures that the transom cannot be damaged.

The clamcleat is equipped with a two-position pivoting finger:

- switch the finger on the left to release the clam

- put back the movable part in its initial position and rotate the finger on the right to reset the Clamcleat.

1.3 Hydrogenerator electrical connection

Unscrew the plug of each connector and connect the hydrogenator cable to the through-hull (there is an alignment failsafe).

NB: it is not necessary to disconnect the hydrogenerator when not in use.

2 Use of the Wi-Fi monitoring tool

A monitoring tool coupled to a Wi-Fi module is embedded into the regulator.

It enables to view on your smartphone, tablet or computer the information regarding the electrical production of your hydrogenator.

- Instantaneous production,

- Production since the last power up,

- Cumulative production.

It also enables remote checks and analysis of your data.

The tool consists of four tabs. The description of each tab is provided hereafter.

Save Marine, a division of Save innovations 3 rue des arts et métiers, 38000 Grenoble, France I +33 (0)4 58 00 34 66 I [email protected]

2.1 « Information » tab

It enables to follow the instantaneous production of the hydrogenerator.

Data are separated into two categories:

1. Instantaneous production

- the power (in Watt) delivered by the hydrogenerator at the input of the regulator

- the rotating speed of the turbine (in RPM)

2. Battery charging status

- voltage (in Volt) - current (in Amps)

2.2 « Statistics » tab

It enables to monitor the production statistics of the hydrogenerator.

The tool monitors the electrical energy (in Watt.hour) produced by the hydrogenerator at the input of the regulator. The production is displayed in 4 different categories :

- histogram of the production during the last 24 hours,

- histogram of the production during the last 30 days,

- histogram of the production during the last 12 months,

- histogram of the production during the last 10 years.

Example of statistics

Mode of operation:

When the battery charge is low, the regulator takes the maximum power available from the hydrogenerator.

When the battery is fully charged, the regulator takes the minimum power from the hydrogenator, even if this one can produce more than needed.

Therefore, when you observe a very low instantaneous power from the hydrogenator while the rotate speed of the turbine is high, you can deduce that the battery is fully loaded.

2.3 « Service » tab

It enables to configure the regulator accordingly to your battery characteristics when installing the system. The procedure is described in the installation guide (page 17).

It also enables a remote maintenance service thanks to the automatic email generation for a production data analysis.

3 Maintenance

The materials used to manufacture the hydrogenerator are marine environment compliant. However, we recommend to rinse the hydrogenator with fresh water when not used for a long period.

Algae deposition is possible on the immersed parts of the hydrogenerator. A regular cleaning will maintain the system in good working conditions. We recommend using a cleaning product like “Clean Boat Polyvalent”.

Check on a regular basis that the home plate, through-hull and hydrogenator support screws are correctly tightened.

Check on a regular basis that the charge status of your battery is not too low, it would then not be able to communicate with the regulator.

A storage and transportation bag is supplied with the hydrogenerator.
