OPERATION:
The branch breakers on the MDP are a toggle type
breaker, whereas the breakers on the Helm Breaker
Panel are a push button, (The helm breaker panel is lo-
cated behind the door below the steering wheel).
• Push the appropriate breaker lever to the “ON”
position.
• If an overload occurs, the breaker will automati-
cally trip and the lever will move back to the
“OFF” position, determine the cause of the trip
and correct it prior to resetting the breaker.
• If a push button breaker trips; the button will fully
extend, push the button to reset the breaker after
it has been determined what caused the circuit to
trip.
• De-energize the circuit by turning it to the “OFF”
position when they are not in use. Leaving the
breakers in the “ON” position places undue load
on the batteries. Make a habit of de-energizing
the the breakers before turning the main battery
switches “OFF”. This will help to preserve the
contacts on the battery switch.
MAINTENANCE:
Very little is required in the way of maintenance, peri-
odic checks should be made to ensure all connections
are tight and that the wiring and terminals have not been
damaged in any way through chafing against fixed ob-
jects or vibration. before attempting to tighten any con-
nection, it is important to turn all the battery switches to
the “OFF” position. Use ONLY the appropriate tool for
the job. If the wiring has been damaged, consult a quali-
fied marine technician.
DC VOLTMETER:
There is a DC Voltage gauge on the DC MDP; located
on the upper left side iof the panel it indicates the battery
condition in volts (8-16 volts). It will register 12 volts or
more if the battery is in good condition and will register
less than 12 volts if the battery is weak.
• Battery Switches, (located in the prep station).
• DC Cabin main circuit breaker, (80 amp).
• DC Helm main circuit breaker, (80 amp).
• DC Unswitched main circuit breaker, (50 amp).
• Anchor windlass main circuit breaker, (120 amp).
• Helm, Gauge & Hard-top switch panels
