CLOSE UP VIEW OF THE INVERTER PANEL
NOTE:
1) In this view the panel indicates the boat is either on shore power or the generator. Looking at
the illuminated green led's from left to right, the first shows AC power is applied. The battery
state is full, there is a 13.5 volt charge going into the batteries, 10 DC amps are being used, and
the power-share feature is set to allow up to 30amps of available AC power to charge the
batteries. If charging from the generator you should select 50amps for a faster charge.
2) If you are away from shore power and don't need to run the generator, you can push the
“INVERT” button that will allow the inverter to use 12 volt DC and turn it into 110 volt AC that
will power the systems on the center column of breakers on the AC breaker panel.
3)
When shore power is connected, always deselect the “invert” button
because if shore power
were to fail for some reason, you may not be aware of it, and if high load items like portable
electric heaters or the coffee maker were on, the inverter would attempt to power these items from
the house batteries. This could rapidly discharge the batteries and cause harm.
4)
When away from shore power and 110 AC power is not required, keep the inverter off,
as it
will continue to needlessly draw power from the batteries even if no load is selected.
