Installer Responsibilities and System Design

SIMARINE products are commonly installed, connected, programmed, configured or integrated into a broader electrical system, vehicle, vessel, caravan, motorhome, camper, canopy, switch panel, battery system or monitoring network. Once installed, the product may form only one component of a larger system.

We do not provide installation services unless expressly stated in writing, and we do not supervise or control installation practices carried out by dealers, installers, contractors or end-users. The installer, system designer, integrator, dealer or end-user is responsible for ensuring that the product is suitable for the intended application and is installed correctly.

Issues or damage arising from incorrect installation, poor system design, incorrect configuration, incompatible equipment, inadequate protection, unsuitable mounting, unsuitable environmental conditions or failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions are not product defects and are not covered by this warranty.

Appropriate Installation

All SIMARINE products must be installed in accordance with the product manual, the manufacturer's installation instructions, applicable Australian Standards, relevant electrical, automotive, marine or industry standards, and recognised industry best practice.

The installer must ensure that the product is used in an appropriate environment and within its specified ratings. Improper, unsafe, unlicensed, sub-standard or non-compliant installation may void or limit warranty coverage.

System Compatibility

The installer or integrator is responsible for selecting and using compatible components. This includes ensuring compatibility with batteries, shunts, tank senders, chargers, inverters, solar controllers, digital switching equipment, NMEA 2000 networks, wiring, fuses, circuit breakers, sensors, displays, software, firmware and any other connected equipment.

Damage, incorrect readings, communication faults, underperformance or failure caused by incompatible, incorrectly configured, undersized, oversized, unsuitable or improperly installed equipment is not covered by this warranty.

System-Wide Performance

Overall system performance depends on design, installation, configuration, calibration, usage, maintenance and environmental factors beyond the SIMARINE product itself. This warranty covers the quality of the individual SIMARINE product supplied by us only. It does not guarantee the performance of the broader electrical, monitoring or switching system into which the product is installed or integrated.

Issues such as inaccurate readings, incorrect tank levels, incorrect battery state of charge, communication errors, nuisance alarms, intermittent operation, voltage drop, overheating, instability, switching faults or operational shortfalls caused by system design, installation, calibration or configuration are outside the scope of this warranty.

Installation Location and Environmental Suitability

The installer must ensure that SIMARINE products are mounted, located, supported, ventilated and protected in a manner suitable for the installation environment.

Where relevant, the installer must allow for heat dissipation, ventilation, moisture exposure, dust, vibration, corrosion risk, electrical clearance, mechanical loading, access for inspection and service, and protection from unsuitable environmental conditions.

Damage caused by unsuitable mounting, inadequate ventilation, moisture, water ingress, dust, corrosion, excessive heat, vibration, insufficient clearance, unsuitable substrate selection or other installation environment issues is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered by this warranty.

System Protection and Fault Isolation

The installer must incorporate suitable protective devices and design measures appropriate to the product and installation type. This may include correctly rated fuses, circuit breakers, isolators, over-current protection, over-voltage protection, low-voltage protection, surge protection, correct cable sizing and other protective devices required by standards or best practice.

The installer is responsible for ensuring that a fault or failure in one component does not cause cascading damage to other components. Damage to SIMARINE products caused by inadequate system protection, poor fault isolation, incorrect protection settings or missing safety devices is not covered by this warranty.

Service Accessibility Requirement

Products must be installed in a manner that allows reasonable access for inspection, testing, servicing, removal and replacement. We are not responsible for additional labour, structural modification, access equipment, removal of fixtures, cabinetry, panels, flooring, trim, sealants, adhesives or other costs arising from installation methods that restrict reasonable access to the product.

Installation Documentation

We may require documentation of the installation when assessing a warranty claim. This may include photos of the product in its installed location, wiring diagrams, system layout, serial numbers, details of connected equipment, installer details, commissioning records, configuration settings, calibration details, service history, fault logs and maintenance records.

Failure to provide reasonable installation evidence may limit our ability to assess the claim.

Independence of Dealers and Installers

Dealers, resellers, installers and contractors act independently and are not agents, employees or representatives of SIMARINE or us unless expressly agreed in writing. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, workmanship, advice, representations, installation practices or system design decisions of independent dealers, resellers, installers, contractors or third parties.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover

Warranty Assessment and Remedy

If a SIMARINE product supplied by us is found to be defective within the applicable warranty period, we will, at our discretion, arrange a repair, replacement, store credit, refund or another appropriate remedy, depending on the nature of the fault and the requirements of Australian Consumer Law.

Products may need to be returned for assessment before a warranty claim can be approved. Where required, the product must be returned with dated proof of purchase, product details, serial number if available, installation information and a clear description of the fault.

If the product is required to be returned to SIMARINE, an importer, distributor or another nominated assessment location for inspection or repair, a return authorisation process may be required before the product is sent. Products sent without the required return authorisation or documentation may not be processed.

Labour costs for removing, replacing, reinstalling or diagnosing a product are not covered by this express warranty unless otherwise required under Australian Consumer Law.

Making a Warranty Claim

If you suspect a fault with a SIMARINE product supplied by us, do not immediately remove or uninstall the product unless it is unsafe to leave it in place or unless authorised as part of the warranty process. Premature removal may cause further damage or make it difficult to determine the original cause of the issue.

1. Contact us: Contact us with your dated proof of purchase, product model, serial number if available, and a description of the fault.
2. Provide product and installation information: We may request installation photos, wiring details, connected equipment details, operating settings, configuration details, calibration details, fault codes, measurements or service history to assist with assessment.
3. Assessment and troubleshooting: We may ask for safe checks, photos, testing information or other details to determine whether the issue appears to be a product fault or is caused by installation, configuration, connected equipment, environment or misuse.
4. Return for inspection if required: If the fault cannot be confirmed remotely, the product may need to be returned for inspection, testing, repair or replacement assessment. Return instructions will be provided where required.
5. Outcome: If the product is confirmed to be faulty and covered by this warranty, we will advise the available remedy. If the product is found not to be faulty, or the issue is caused by an excluded factor, the claim may be rejected.

Repair or replacement under this warranty does not restart or extend the original warranty period. The warranty continues from the original purchase date.

Manufacturer, Importer or Distributor Support

SIMARINE products may be assessed, repaired or replaced through the manufacturer, importer, distributor or another nominated service process. Where available, we may assist customers in arranging assessment, but any manufacturer, importer or distributor service is subject to their own process, requirements and continued availability.

Australian Consumer Law

This warranty is in addition to other rights and remedies available at law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
