2870 WALKAROUND
4-8
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY ELECTRICAL CABLES OR EQUIPMENT AND ALWAYS
USE GROUNDED APPLIANCES ON BOARD YOUR BOAT.
UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD CAUSE THE WATER
AROUND THE BOAT TO BECOME ENERGIZED. THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE SHOCK
OR EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE IN THE WATER NEAR THE BOAT. NEVER SWIM OR
ALLOW SWIMMING AROUND THE BOAT WHEN THE 110-VOLT AC SYSTEM IS ACTI-
VATED BY THE SHORE POWER CONNECTION.
Disconnecting procedure for shore power connection
Turn the main breaker on the 110-volt AC panel to the “OFF” position.
Turn the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable
from the boat and replace the inlet cap. Store cable.
110-Volt AC Panel and Accessory Operation
The AC panel is located in the cabin. The following is a description of the AC panel equipment
and the breakers that protect the accessories:
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very sensitive. The resulting power surge
that occurs when connecting the dockside cable may cause the main breaker to trip. To avoid this
surge, always turn the main breaker to the “OFF” position before plugging or unplugging
the shore power cord.
Polarity Light
The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the panel. This situation will cause the
red light to remain lit. Additionally, a special relay attached to the main breaker will automatically
turn the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. If reverse polarity is achieved,
immediately turn off all cabin 110-volt breakers and dockside outlet breakers. Discon-
nect the power cable from the dockside outlet and notify a qualified electrician to check the
dockside wiring.
Outlets
Supply electrical current to the cabin ground fault interrupter (GFI) electrical outlets.
Note: All AC electrical outlets are provided with ground fault interrupts to protect against
electric shock. These outlets should be tested periodically to insure proper operation
by pressing the test/reset buttons in the center of the face plate. GFI outlets do not
protect against short circuits and overloads. This is done by the outlet breakers on
the AC panel.
