ENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Certain vessels are equipped (as either standard or optional features depending on the model)with a
110 V or 230 V circuit.
The following measures are recommended in order to avoid the danger of electrical shock and fire:
- Never work on a live electric fitting.
- Plug in the boat/shore supply cable in the boat before you plug it into the shore supply socket.
- Never let the end of the boat/shore supply cable hang in the water.
- Turn off the shore supply with the onboard cut-off switch before connecting or disconnecting the vessel/
shore supply line.
- Disconnect the ship/shore power cable at the shore socket first.
- Check the polarity indicator for the shore connections (110V AC version).
- If the reverse polarity indicator is activated immediately disconnect the cable. Rectify the polarity fault
before using the vessel's electrical installation.
- Close the shore supply input cover firmly after use.
- Do not modify the vessel/shore supply line connections; only use compatible connections.
- Do not alter the vessel's electrical system. The installation, modifications and maintenance must be
carried out by a qualified marine electricity technician. Check the system at least twice a year.
- Disconnect the vessel supply when the system is not being used. This is to prevent the danger of fire.
- Use double insulated or earthed appliances.
Note that the live wires are brown, the neutral ones are blue and the earth wires are green and yellow.
D
ANGER
- Never let the end of the boat/shore supply cable
hang in the water: The result may be an electric
field liable to hurt or kill the swimmers nearby.
- There may be danger of electrocution if
alternating current systems are incorrectly used.
- Unplug the dock before leaving the dock.
P
RECAUTION
- Never modify an electric fitting and relevant
diagrams yourself.
- Call in a technician skilled in marine electricity to
carry out any electric modification.
- Never change the breaking capacity (amperage)
of the overcurrent safety devices.
- Never install or replace the electric appliances
(or any electric equipement) by components
exceeding the capacity (amperage) of the circuit
(Watt for bulbs).

ECOMMENDATION
- In order to reduce the risks of electic shock and
fire:
- Before you plug in or unplug the boat/shore
supply cable, switch off the shut off device
connected to the shore supply.
- Plug in the boat/shore supply cable in the boat
before you plug it into the shore supply socket.
- Unplug the boat/shore supply cable on shore
first. Close the shore socket cover.
- Do not modify the connections of the boat/shore
supply cable.
