LOAD MANAGEMENT OPERATION
7.3.1 Shore Cord Alarm
, Single, Master, and Slave converters
If the yacht’s electrical system includes a power management or load-shed feature, the Shore Cord
Alarm can be used to affect a change in loading when the converter reaches a programmed load
threshold, or simply draw the yacht engineer’s attention.
The Shore Cord Alarm drives a relay’s normally open contact pair that is provided at a terminal
block near the converter’s Shore Power Input terminal block. The contact pair is rated for 8A @
250VAC or 5A @ 24VDC.
From the front panel, press the
SHORE POWER
+
F2
buttons to access the following screen
(The DROOP and TRANSFER choices do not apply to a Slave converter):
The Shore Cord Alarm may be Enabled on both the Master and Slave Converters. An alarm signal
will be issued whenever the Alarm is enabled and the converter's input current equals or exceeds
the Alarm Level (percentage) of the shore cord Rating. Note that the Alarm MUST be Enabled for
the Droop and/or Automatic Transfer to Generator features to function. Press Cord (
F1
) for the
Shore Cord Setup screen, Droop (
F2
) for the Voltage Droop screen, Transfer (
F3
) for the
Automatic Transfer to Generator screen, Cursor (
F4
) to move the cursor between the ALARM AT
% and ALARM enable settings, and Exit (
F5
) to save the settings and exit the screen. When the
cursor is on the ALARM AT % or ALARM enable settings, the Cord/Droop buttons will change
to More/Less and Enable/Disable respectively to allow for setting adjustment.
