Air Conditioner
Arctic Star has three Marine Air Systems air
conditioning units. These reverse-cycling units can
cool or heat the cabin as desired with dry air. The
salon and each stateroom have an independent
unit with a control panel to program the zone
temperature. This system uses 120-volt AC power,
you must be connected to shore power or have
the generator running. The air conditioning system
uses seawater to exchange heat and water will be
flowing out of thru hulls near the waterline when these units are running.
To operate the Marine Air System:
1.
Be sure the seawater strainer is clear of
debris.
2.
Turn on the ‘A/C Pump’ breaker switch
and desired air conditioning unit breaker
on the AC panel.

Press and release the power button to
toggle between on and off.
4.

temperature is increased or decreased by one
degree with each press.

is in the manual mode.
