Connecting to Shore Power
1. Monitor the AC panel’s polarity indicator lights (next to the line 1 and line 2 master breakers) as follows:
•
A GREEN light illuminating after the power cord is plugged into the boats external power receptacle indi-
cates acceptable electrical power in which you may energize the main breaker switches.
2. A RED light, however, indicates reversed polarity, which could cause electrical system damage and possibly
electrical shock injuries. In this case, DO NOT energize the main breaker switches (see warning below).
3. Activate the AC system by turning the main ship/shore breaker to the “DOCKSIDE” position.
4. Turn ON the master breakers and individual component breakers as required.
FIRE, SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
NEVER connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have pur-
chased the international electrical conversion option.
•
The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit. It may
be necessary to turn off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
•
Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
•
Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage. Damaged or faulty
cords should NEVER be used since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
•
DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
•
If a shore power cord should accidently become immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry
the blades and contact slots before reusing.
CAUTI O N!
!
NOTI C E
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to pur-
chase lower amp adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a
corresponding drop in supplied power from the dockside system.
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
•
When connecting to shore power and you encounter a reversed polarity light (RED col-
ored), DO NOT energize the main breaker switches. Instead, IMMEDIATELY disconnect
the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside receptacle first) and notify marina
management.
WARN I NG!
!
The voltage on each line can be read by setting the voltmeter selector switch.
