3. Never run generator for less than 30 minutes from a cold start.

D. INVERTER – 3000 Watt 110v Power
NOTE: The inverter system is setup to be totally automatic and should not need any
changes to the settings
.
120 volt power can be provided by the inverter which uses 12
volt battery power to make 120 volt AC current. 120 volt power is very limited with the
inverter because it comes from a limited source. You cannot run high use devices like
space heaters, hair dryers, waffle irons, at the same time or for any combined length of
time. It will drain the batteries to the point of inverter shutdown.
The inverter’s best use is to provide low wattage, or intermittent 120 volt power during
an evening to save the generator from constant short start-ups and shut downs.
When the boat is on shore power or has the generator running, the inverter becomes a
battery charger for the house battery banks.
The remote switch and indicator panel for the inverter is located to the left of the
electrical panel console.
NO SETTINGS SHOULD BE CHANGED ON THE
INVERTER CONTROL PANEL.
To operate the inverter:
1. Turn on the breaker on the 120 volt panel.
2.
The inverter is operated by the remote panel to the top right of the electrical panel.
The inverter is can be in standby or off for 120 volt power. The charger can be
selected on or off. Typically the inverter is off and the charger is on.
3.
The inverter will power the 120v AC outlets, ice maker, refridgerator and the
microwave.
E.
ELECTRIC WATER HEATER
Electric water heater runs off of 120 volt system. The circuit breaker is on the
120 volt panel.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Do not use the electric water heater if the water
tanks are very low or if they run dry. The electric element may burn up if the tank has no
water. The water heater is also heated by the engines. The Hurricane heat system is not
connected to the ships hot water system.
