Prestige 500, User Manual

Page: 55 / 124

The boat may be fi tted with an optional reversible air conditioning system.
The air conditioning system requires 230 V with a cold water system.
Six air conditioning units (forced air heaters) work independently.
They are located:
- In the saloon, under the pilot seat and the port side aft saloon seating.
- In the front cabin (starboard locker).
- In the port cabin (wardrobe).
- In the aft cabin (starboard locker).
- In the crew cabin (locker located behind the companion ladder).
There are outlets in every cabin, in the galley and in the saloon.
Before you start the system:
- Open the seawater inlet valves in the technical room, behind the fuel tanks
(access through the cockpit locker).
- Open the seawater outlet valves located next to each group and in the tech-
nical room for the saloon groups.
The air conditioning units are called “reversible” as they can heat the boat if
the sea water temperature is over 10° C.
A dehumidifi er function can be preset on the air conditioning controls.
SUPPLY
Select the source of the supply (generator or shore POWER) using the right
selector of the 230 V selection panel at the entrance of the wheelhouse.
Check that the air conditioning group and the pump circuit breakers have
been powered on the upper and lower bus in the electrical panel located in
the companion ladder, next to the aft cabin.
After selecting hot or cold position using the switch in the electrical panel of
the chart table, start the air conditioning unit in the desired area then adjust
the temperature using its control switch.
Regularly clean the fi lter on the sea water suction valves.
For the use and maintenance of the air conditioning system, please refer to
its instruction guide.
