Connecting To Shore Power
1.
Monitor the AC panel’s polarity indicator lights:
•
A green light illuminating after the power cord is plugged into the boat’s external power receptacle indicates
acceptable electrical power. You may energize the master breaker switch.
•
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 master breaker switch (see previous warning).
2. Activate the AC system by switching the shore power master breaker to the SHIP/SHORE (dockside) position.
3. Energize individual component breakers as required.
DANGER
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
•
Do not alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
•
Before connecting to shore power, ensure all breakers and switches on the AC master panel are in the OFF
position.
•
To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot” cord into the water, always attach the
shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to the dockside connection. When disconnecting the shore
power cable, always disconnect the shore power cable at the dockside outlet first.
•
Close the shore power inlet cover tightly when not in use.
DANGE R!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
•
You must monitor the polarity indicator lights every time you connect to shore power.
•
When connecting to shore power and you encounter reversed polarity light (red colored), do not energize
the main breaker switches. Instead, immediately disconnect the shore power cord (always from the dockside
receptacle first) and notify marina management.
WARNI NG! !
CAU TI ON!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Ν
ever connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have purchased the interna-
tional electrical conversion option.
•
Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
!
NOTI CE
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to purchase lower amp
adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a corresponding drop in supplied
power from the dockside system.
NOTI CE
•
If your boat is equipped with two shore power inlets, the AC panel will have two master breakers installed,
labeled line 1 and line 2 which corresponds to line 1 and line 2 shore power inlets. The system is designed so
that each line works independent of each other.
•
AC Voltage can be read on the AC panel’s voltmeter.
