Electrical System
the boat inlet plug until the side lock on the cord
snaps to the inlet plug. Close the cover on the
cord to engage the cover lock. Secure lock rings
on the shore connector plugs.
Turn the dockside disconnect circuit breaker to
the ON position. Then turn the circuit breaker at
the boat inlet connection on and check for proper
polarity. If reversed polarity has been achieved,
the red “FAULT” light on the ELCI panel will light
and the main inlet breaker will automatically trip.
If this should happen, make sure the inlet main
breaker and shore main breaker on the cabin AC
panel are in the OFF position, then turn the dock
power breaker off. If the green “POWER” light il -
luminates and the main inlet breaker does not trip
when power is supplied to the panel, the polarity
is correct and the shore main breaker on the cabin
AC panel can be moved to the ON position.
After activating the system, check the ELCI panel
at the inlet connection plug for faults. The green
“POWER” LED should show steady illumination and
the red “FAULT” LED should remain off. The ELCI
trips and opens the main circuit when there is a
ground fault condition. If the red “FAULT” LED is
continuously illuminated, the ELCI has tripped due
to a ground fault condition. Some faults are self-
clearing. Try resetting the ELCI once. If the green
LED shows steady illumination and the ElCI does
not trip again, the circuit is correct and activated.
If the ELCI continues to trip and the red “FAULT”
LED is lit after being reset, there is a problem
with the AC electrical system and it is unsafe to
use. Make sure the inlet connection panel main
breaker and the shore main breaker on the cabin
panel are in the OFF position and turn the dock
power breaker off. Disconnect the shore power
supply cord from the boat and notify a qualified
marine electrician to check the wiring and correct
the problem.
DANGER
REVERSED POLARITY AND GROUND FAULT CONDITIONS
WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM AND EXPOSE PASSENGERS
TO ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS THAT WILL CAUSE SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH. THIS CONDITION COULD ALSO CAUSE
A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NEVER OPERATE THE
AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH REVERSED POLARITY OR
A GROUND FAULT CONDITION.
ELCI Panel & Inlet Main Breaker
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE WIRING
YOURSELF. ALWAYS HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
CHECK WIRING.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL CABLES OR
EQUIPMENT AND ALWAYS USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES
ONBOARD YOUR BOAT.
UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COULD CAUSE THE WATER AROUND THE BOAT TO BECOME
ENERGIZED. THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE SHOCK OR
EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE IN THE WATER NEAR THE
BOAT. NEVER SWIM OR ALLOW SWIMMING AROUND THE
BOAT WHEN THE AC SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY THE SHORE
POWER CONNECTION OR THE GENERATOR.
Disconnecting procedure for shore power
connection:
Turn the main breaker on the inlet connection
panel and the shore main breaker on the cabin AC
panel to the OFF position. Then turn the disconnect
breaker on the dockside outlet to the OFF position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and
replace the outlet cap. Disconnect the cable from
the boat and replace the outlet cap. Store cable.
