1. Introduction 
 
Thank you for purchasing a Mobil Tech product. With the Zeus200 thermoelectric generator you 
have a system capable of charging the batteries of your boat, regardless of the availability of 
external electricity or weather conditions. 
 
Installation and commissioning must be performed by specialized personnel only, using a 
dedicated Installation Manual. This User Manual describes all the steps to be taken only for 
normal system operation.
 
1.1 Usage rules 
Zeus200 can be installed on boats with a battery of at least 100Ah and it’s able to charge the 
boat batteries in a silent and ecological way, using only the fuel present in the tank. For gasoline 
powered boats it is necessary to install an additional tank. 
 
Use other than intended is not allowed. 
 
During installation and normal operation, the following instructions must be observed: 
▪Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only 
▪Usage is allowed in open places only 
▪Use only the prescribed fuel 
▪It is not allowed to make any change to the system, deleting or inserting other types of 
components 

Zeus200 User Manual

▪The use of components other than the original ones is not allowed

▪The product does not require user maintenance. Maintenance operations must be

performed by qualified personnel only

▪In case of doubt, contact the manufacturer or a qualified installer

1.2 Basic operating principles and general indications

The basic operating principle of the system is shown below:

Zeus200 generator is able, using the boat fuel, to charge and maintain charged both the engine

and service batteries. It is able to supply 200W of typical power; it’s able to manage also an

optional photovoltaic panel/eolic generator, preferring renewable sources when available.

ATTENTION

NEVER disconnect for any reason the primary battery when the generator is working. The

operation is very harmful because the cooling of the device will be lost, causing possible

breakages due to overheating. Any incorrect operation is recorded in the device memory.

General notes regarding generator usage:

•The system has an integrated atmospheric pressure sensor, in order to adapt the

combustion to air rarefaction variations, due to altitude and to climatic conditions; it is

tested up to 3.000mt above sea level

•Basic operations have been designed in order to set the system in automatic mode or

manual mode, for complete and efficient batteries management

•When in automatic mode the system manages two timers for being activated only on

selected hours

•Zeus200 manages also optional photovoltaic/eolic generators, up to 300W/80V

•The system manages the recharge of the primary service battery at 12V (mod.

Z200BD12) or 24V (mod. Z200BD24) and the secondary 12/24V one (engine). The

charging logic gives priority to the primary battery; the secondary is monitored and

Zeus200 User Manual

V 1.0.8 –12/10/2020 Page 4 of 16

recharged when the primary is charged or the secondary is under the minimum working

level

•The primary battery is recharged using the parameters related to the temperature of the

containment compartment. It is possible to force a priority charging of the secondary

battery

•If the display is not touched for 3 minutes, it switches off automatically while keeping the

set functions unaltered. To turn it on again simply touch the screen

•If manual mode, after 30 minutes of inactivity the system automatically goes into stand-by

mode to reduce electrical consumption. When switched on again, it may take a few

seconds to restore communication with all components

•The generator switches off automatically 3 minutes after the ignition of the vehicle engine.

Within the first 3 minutes there is the possibility to force the generator working status

confirming the popup message on the display

•Use only batteries of type PB / AGM / GEL and LiFeP04, selecting the correct charging

algorithm from the control unit.

•Recommended capacity: from 100 to 600Ah. Do not use old batteries in any

circumstances, as they could cause the Zeus200 generator not to work correctly

•In any moment is possible to check the status and characteristics of the batteries

•It is always possible to check the operating status of the system and all its components

•Do not wash the generator using a pressure washer

•The generator is not designed to work submerged in water or other liquids; in the event of

flooding, the warranty becomes void and it is necessary to go to an authorized installer.

•The generator manufacturer is not responsible for battery status or incorrect selection of

the type of batteries to be recharged

1.3 Fuel quality

Diesel Generator The Zeus200 generator works without problems with the diesel fuel normally

available on the market used for the vehicle’s engine. Addition max. of biodiesel available on the

market according to DIN EN 590. In the winter months diesel fuel is adapted at low

temperatures from 0°C to -20°C. In this way problems can arise only in the case of extremely

low external temperatures - as well as in the boat engine - see the instructions of the

manufacturer. In special cases and at external temperatures above 0°C the Zeus200 generator

can also work with heating oil sec. DIN 51603 (from an additional tank).

If the Zeus200 generator is powered from a separate tank, follow these steps:

•external temperatures higher than 0°C: use diesel oil sec. DIN EN 590 or heating oil sec.

DIN 51603;

•external temperatures from 0°C to -20°C: use winter diesel sec. DIN EN 590;

•outside temperatures from -20°C to -40°C, use arctic gas oil or polar gas oil.

The addition of used oil is allowed. After using winter diesel or diesel fuel for low temperatures,

fill the fuel lines and the standard diesel fuel pump by running the generator for 15 minutes. The

Zeus200 generators are not approved to work with bio-diesel according to DIN EN 14214.

2.1 Main Menu - Home

The Home Menu is shown in the following picture.

This menu shows the status of the system in terms of energy management. It clearly indicates

which energy source is charging which type of battery. It shows the actual mode of operation

(manual or automatic), the charge level of the batteries, the status of the timers and the possible

forced recharging for the engine battery.

General notes:

➢The operating mode icon can have the following forms:

oAutomatic mode; the icon flashes when the generator is working

oManual mode; generator active

oManual mode; generator not active

➢The solar panel icon will be on only if the solar panel is charging

➢The blue arrows with a continuous line indicate which of the energy sources is in

operation and which of the batteries is being charged

➢For both batteries the percentage of remaining charge is displayed, calculated on the

average of the last ten minutes

➢Timer icons are displayed only if the related timers have been set. Available only in

automatic mode, the icons can have the following colors:

oBlue: timer set and active

oWhite: timer set but not active

Note: the percentage of battery charge is not exactly the actual percentage, as it depends

on several factors; the charging or discharging phase, the battery typical discharge curve

and the efficiency of the battery itself. Furthermore, the data displayed is the average of

the readings taken at the last minute, not the instantaneous one.

oPressing the icon in Home Menu

Power off:

oSame as automatic mode or pressing

•Battery - Automatic: in this case the priority is given to the charge of the primary

battery (services) with respect to the secondary one (engine). Nevertheless, the latter

is constantly monitored and if its voltage falls below a minimum value it will be

immediately charged

•Battery –Engine Battery: forcing engine battery charging; to be used only in case

of emergency, when the vehicle battery is too low. By activating this function all the

energy produced (over 250W) will be sent to the secondary battery (engine) in order to

quickly recharge it. This function is automatically excluded after 6 hours or when the

battery is fully charged. Once the secondary battery has been recharged, the system

automatically switches to the primary battery (services).

Note: In this mode the energy required for ignition and operation is taken from the primary

battery. Before selecting this function, make sure that the primary battery is fully charged.
