00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
Narrator: Welcome back! The light is still on in the tool shed,

2
00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:04.200
which means there's still work to do.

3
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.700
What do we have John?

4
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:07.700
John: Welcome back. We've been trying to teach

5
00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:09.700
you a little bit more about battery switches.

6
00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:11.700
<i>(inaudible)</i>

7
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:13.700
And what we want to do now is we

8
00:00:13.700 --> 00:00:16.600
want to wire in a selector switch.

9
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.600
And hypothetically think of a

10
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.600
single engine with two batteries.

11
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.600
We've got a starting battery and

12
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.600
we've got an accessory battery.

13
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.700
Which is called a Group 27. It's more of a deep cycle

14
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:28.700
battery to run 12 volt accessories.

15
00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:30.700
And that leads us to our next guest today

16
00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:32.700
on the program. Who we have the privilege

17
00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:34.700
of having with us is a gentleman

18
00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:37.200
by the name of J.P. Massana.

19
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.200
And J.P. is the OEM

20
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.200
Sales Manager for Perko.

21
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.700
And I want to talk about this model number 8501.

22
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:45.900
J.P.: Battery Selector Switch.

23
00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:47.900
John: Probably one of the most common

24
00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:49.900
battery selector switches in the entire

25
00:00:49.900 --> 00:00:51.900
marine industry. And we want to show

26
00:00:51.900 --> 00:00:53.900
everybody how to wire this thing in. Okay?

27
00:00:53.900 --> 00:00:55.700
Take a look on the back here.

28
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:57.700
Alright, do you see these three posts?

29
00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:59.500
Now they are also stamped underneath.

30
00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:01.500
This one here it says "Common".

31
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:03.500
This over here says "1".

32
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:05.400
This over here says number "2".

33
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.400
Alright, we need to know that because

34
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.400
what we want to do is we want to wire

35
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.400
up our batteries. J.P. where do we begin?

36
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.200
J.P.: Taking a positive lead from battery number one.

37
00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:17.300
John: Going on the positive post right there on the battery.

38
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.700
J.P.: To go to lead number one post

39
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:21.100
on the battery selector switch.

40
00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:23.100
John: Okay now this is a starting battery and most

41
00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:25.100
people consider the starting

42
00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:27.100
battery as battery number one.

43
00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:27.700
J.P.: Number one.

44
00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:30.200
John: Okay, well that's very simple what do we do on the other end?

45
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.200
J.P.: We're gonna go, take the

46
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.500
positive lead, go to position number two.

47
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:37.000
Pole number two on the back of the battery selector switch.

48
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.600
John: Okay, so this is battery two,

49
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:40.800
goes to number two, on a selector switch.

50
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:42.000
That's pretty easy so far.

51
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:42.700
J.P: That's pretty easy.

52
00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.700
John: Let's talk about the engine, you're gonna have

53
00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:46.700
a battery lead, or a couple of

54
00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:49.100
these coming off of the engine. Okay.

55
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:50.700
Red is positive.

56
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.300
We're gonna take that to the center post.

57
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:54.300
Do you see where it says "Common" again?

58
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:56.300
We're gonna take it right there.

59
00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:58.500
What do we do with the black lead?

60
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.500
J.P.: You're gonna need to go to common ground.

61
00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:02.500
John: Which is right here. This represents

62
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:04.300
our common ground. We're not done yet!

63
00:02:04.300 --> 00:02:06.300
We have to hook up some

64
00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:08.300
ground cables. And why don't you

65
00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:10.300
hook up the negative terminal,

66
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.000
on battery one, we'll take that to common ground.

67
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.600
Okay, I've got a second lead here.

68
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:17.500
I'm gonna take it from the negative

69
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:19.500
terminal on battery two. We're gonna take it

70
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:22.000
to common ground. And we're almost done!

71
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.000
We've got one more lead left.

72
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.300
It's a positive lead and basically

73
00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:28.300
all we're gonna do is again look at that

74
00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:30.100
common post on the back.

75
00:02:30.100 --> 00:02:32.100
Don't get confused, use common post.

76
00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:33.900
On the back of the selector switch,

77
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.400
you put it right over top.

78
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.000
This now goes to the...

79
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.200
J.P.: ...distribution panel.

80
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:39.700
John: Fantastic. J.P. thank you.

81
00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:40.500
J.P.: You're welcome.

82
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:42.500
John: Hey we got a couple of other people that we

83
00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.500
need to thank from Perko. Wolf Hennig and the rest

84
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:46.500
of the staff out there. We also had

85
00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:49.000
Charlie Mann on the program

86
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.900
from West Marine. That was a great operational technique.

87
00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:53.900
And we had Bill Gribble

88
00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:56.300
on the program. Bill is with PlasTeak.

89
00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:57.800
But you know what the most important ones that

90
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.800
we need to thank here. That's right, it's been you!

91
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.900
Hey thanks so much for hanging out with us for

92
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.600
the last half hour but we've got to go.

93
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:05.300
But how about this. How about until we

94
00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:06.300
see each other again.

95
00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:07.800
And you do yourself a favor,

96
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.000
and get out there and make you boat "ship shape"!

97
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000
Of course you can! I'm John Greviskis,

98
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000
we'll see you next time!
