Alternating Current and Direct Current Panel (AC/DC Panel)
The AC/DC panel (electrical distribution panel) is located inside the cabin, on the port wall of the main salon.
The bottom half of the panel controls your AC accessories and runs off of shore power (standard equipment)
or the diesel generator (optional equipment). The top half of the panel controls your DC accessories and
runs off of the dealer installed batteries.
Alternating Current (AC)
Power to your AC accessories is provided either by shore power (standard equipment) or by one of the
optional generators. There is a slide mechanism on the AC panel that will need to be positioned either up
or down depending upon which power source you select. When using your shore power to provide power
to the alternating current system, the slide mechanism needs to be in the down position in order to switch
the AC main breaker to the on position. When using your optional generator to provide power to the
alternating current system, the slide mechanism needs to be in the up position in order to switch the
generator breaker to the on position.
If the Polarity Light (red) comes on, you may have a problem with the shore power cable or your power
source. Unplug the shore power immediately and do not use it until a qualified technician corrects this
potentially dangerous situation.
The AC volts and the AC amperes gauges allow you to monitor the AC power usage. The system is
designed to pull up to 30 amps. If you are pulling more than 30 amps, you should turn off one or more of
the breakers for the accessories that you are not using. Pulling more than 30 amps will cause the AC
system to trip one or more of the breakers. To avoid tripping breakers, if an accessory is not in use, the
breaker should be in the off position.
