AC (120V) Circuit
:
o
Shore Power Indicator Light (Reference #1)
A red light indicates
that shore power is connected and available on the AC bus.
o
AC Outlets
:
To energize the AC outlets, flip on the OUTLETS switch on
the electrical panel (#5 above) and check that the AC
OUTLET BREAKER (located in the electronics cabinet
above the electrical panel) is on (“I” position). See photo
on right.
The AC outlets can be energized through 1) shore power
or 2) when the inverter is energized (see “Inverter” in Section 6,
Batteries/Charging/Inverter, above).
o
Water Heater
: When connected to shore power, you can energize the water heater electrical
circuit (#3). Note: Hot water is also produced by running the diesel engine (see below).
o
A reverse polarity light
(#2) is located below the shore power light. If this light is fully
illuminated (not just a light shadow from shore power indicator), immediately de-energize
shore power and determine the cause of the reverse polarity.
•
DC (12V) Circuit
:
o
Cabin Lights
: Energizes the circuit with all cabin lights. Lights must be individually turned on.
Main Cabin light switches for the saloon are in the headliner at the bottom of the
companionway ladder.
