Generator (upper) - Switch this breaker group "ON" if
you are using the optional generator to provide electric-
ity to the Line 1 circuit breakers.
Shore 2 - Switch this breaker group "ON" if you are
using a shore power source to provide electricity to the
Line 2 circuit breakers.
Generator (lower) - Switch this breaker group "ON" if
you are using the optional generator to provide electric-
ity to the Line 2 circuit breakers.
Power Available Indicators
These indicators illuminate when your boat is connected
to a working shore power source. To provide that power
to your boat’s AC electrical system, switch the respec-
tive AC Power Selector circuit breaker group "ON".
Generator Running Indicators
These indicators illuminate when the optional generator
is operating. To provide the generator’s power to your
boat’s AC electrical system, switch the respective AC
Power Selector circuit breaker group "ON".
Reverse Polarity Indicators
If reverse polarity occurs, immediately switch the
Shore 1 and Shore 2 circuit breaker groups "OFF" and
disconnect your power cord(s) from the shore power
source. Notify marina management of the problem.
Use a different shore power source box.
Reverse polarity can occur only with 110 volt electrical
systems. If your boat is equipped with a 220 volt sys-
tem, disregard this section.
The Line 1 and Line 2 circuits are designed to sense the
voltage difference between the neutral and ground
terminal blocks. If the shore power source is incorrectly
wired so that the polarity is reversed, the red Reverse
Polarity light in the shore power source box illuminates.
If reverse polarity occurs while your boat is connected to
shore power, the Reverse Polarity lights on the AC
Control Center illuminate.
