N.B. AC or shore mains power:
Mains power, AC is an abbreviation for Alternating Current. It reverses direction every 1/120 second so a particle removed in the first half Hertz (cycle) will be replaced in the second half Hertz. So AC cannot cause electrolysis. Battery (DC or Direct Current) causes electrolysis corrosion because current flows in one direction only so continually depletes metal particles wherever that metal is damp to immersed. That current will continually remove particles to the sea bed, 24 hours, every day of the year. The SeaBis System eliminates ALL electrolysis, under ALL conditions.
Blockers...
Blocker are wired by a licensed A Class electrician in series with the mains (shore) power AC earth. Assuming they are engineered correctly and the cheaper are not, they will stop less than 10% of electrolysis causes. 10% is not acceptable. The SeaBis System eliminates 100% of all causes in actual use conditions. The SeaBis System is guaranteed in writing and the guarantee is publicly available here. Ask the Blocker supplier to provide a written guarantee. If it does not materialize, has no viable header with actual address or contains an escape clause then there is a good reason why.
The Basic SeaBis System.
The Basic SeaBis System is excellent for a single vessel. While only 5% require support it is included in the purchase cost. seabis@bigpond.com or 61 (0)8 8552 4711 or Skype audio/video by arrangement after email contact.. World-wide telephone support is also included in the purchase cost.
Installation is easy:
1. Connect SeaBis brown to battery positive - 12 or 24 volts.
2. Connect SeaBis blue to battery negative.
3. Connect SeaBis green/yellow to any metal that is permanently wet while the vessel is in the water. The SeaBis System will eliminate 98% of the causes while your vessel is on land as the engine water cooling passages are damp. Final test are completed while afloat.
4. SeaBis will instantly indicate the level of electrolysis current caused by the engine. Follow Process of Elimination supplied with the SeaBis System to eliminate the cause.
The Flexible SeaBis System for demonstration or overview.
The Flexible SeaBis System is excellent for very fast demonstration or overview. To demonstrate connect SeaBis brown and blue to the engine battery and touch the engine body with the probe. SeaBis will instantly indicate the ferocity of electrolysis current caused by the engine. Demonstration completed.
The demonstration / overview can then include electrolysis current in the marina / mooring water. With SeaBis still connected to the engine battery, dip the probe in the water adjacent to the hull, drag the probe through the water around the boat and SeaBis will instantly indicate electrolysis current in the water. If you get multiple or Critical readings the electrolysis is causing corrosion now. Repair now. Talk to us: seabis@bigpond.com.au or 61 (0)8 8552 4711 or Skype audio/video by arrangement after email contact.
The Flexible System is as the Basic SeaBis System with professionally soldered battery clips and 30 meter reel of (insulated house earthing wire) probe wire and calibrated copper pipe as sensor.
Connect SeaBis to engine battery, touch engine metal body or any other metal and SeaBis will immediately indicate ferocity of electrolysis current.
Gradually move the probe away from the boat and you will determine radius of electrolysis current generated by the boat. Radius is commonly more than 150 meters.
Support for any number of vessels.
The SeaBis Maintenance System.
As the Flexible SeaBis System with an Anode Tester.
Anode Tester: Whenever a probe touches any water it measures the total affect of all anodes on every boat within 150 meters. That probe includes all through hull sensors. The SeaBis Anode Tester measures voltage generated by the anodes on the boat it is connected to, only. It is not influenced by any other boat.
So SeaBis Anode Tester is instantaneous and accurate.
Place the probe in water, drag past anodes and the multimeter will indicate anode activity level, anode by anode. Chart to interpret the multimeter.
Support for any number of vessels.
SeaBis System with Probe (for Land use).
Very effectively measure electrolysis corrosion current to the Earth then use the SeaBis System Process of Elimination to correct the cause.
Elimination of the cause is the same procedure as the Basic SeaBis System. When SeaBis indicates electrolysis current as Serious or Critical unplug / disconnect circuits until SeaBis indicates Normal. The last equipment you unplugged was the cause. Now it has no power so it will not work so you know which equipment was the cause of electrolysis. Follow Process of Elimination to correct it.
The SeaBis System with Probe Includes very special electronics to make it nearly instantaneous and absolutely accurate by eliminating the affect of mains current in the earth connection that would otherwise distort readings so severely they would be worse than useless. They would be so chronically incorrect as to cause vast time wasting and no positive result. The SeaBis Land System takes 5 seconds to remove the AC and is extremely accurate.
Support for a year.
SeaBis Anode Tester and Chart.
Instantly and accurately test your Anodes using the cheapest and most accurate method..
Whenever a probe touches any water it measures the total affect of all anodes on every boat within 150 meters. That includes all through hull sensors. The SeaBis Anode Tester measures voltage generated by the anodes on the boat it is connected to, only. It is not influenced by any other boat. It is accurate and instantaneous.
Automatic Heavy Duty Isolator Switch.
Includes components to eliminate electrolysis corrosion.
For non isolated engines / generator / winch, with Distribution, RMS 200 amps, Peak 2200 amps, silver contacts, with electrolysis elimination components, continuously rated. In an O ring sealed tough polycarbonate enclosure.
With Distribution to run entire boat / engine / winch or House. Capacity for your engine, alternator and the remainder of the vessel.
Caused to Open or Close by power to the engine / winch Start / Run switch. So eliminates electrolysis caused by the engine / winch whenever they are OFF.
Weight is one kilogram. Terminals are stainless steel.
Isolating (Battery) Switch.
These switches are good quality with written specifications. Never buy a switch that has no written RMS specification.
For non isolated engines / generator / winch, with Distribution, RMS 200 amps, Peak 2200 amps, silver contacts, with electrolysis elimination components, continuously rated. In an O ring sealed tough polycarbonate enclosure.
Wired in series with battery negative to engine / winch body to eliminate electrolysis current while they are not in use - recreational vessels - 98% of the time. So 98% of the electrolysis is eliminated.
Isolating Transformer for 240 volts.
This isolated transformer will power a TV and mast head antenna or a computer etcetera. Rated at 2 amps at 240 volts, continuously. Australian 3 pin connector. Never buy an "Autotransformer" type. They are cheap and cause electrolysis. This transformer is correctly insulated so stops DC connection to the shore / other vessels while allowing AC to pass.
