running to efficiently use the alternator capacity.
Optional two 120W Solar Panels are connected directly through their own circuit
breaker to the House Battery Bank through an independent solar panel voltage
regulator. The House Battery Switch does not need to be on for the Solar Panels
to be recharging. There is no overflow to the Start Battery.
An optional Battery Charger/Inverter may be directly connected to the House
Battery Bank through circuit breaker switches. Suitably switched 110V or 240V
Generator or Shore Power provides additional power resources.
Emergency Starting
Should the 700 CCA Start Battery not be able to start the motors an independent
Emergency Parallel Battery Switch connects both House and Cranking Battery
Banks. This Emergency Parallel Battery Switch should be “on” only for the
duration of starting, it is normally “off”.
Generator
An optional Generator may be installed in the forward sail locker to provide
additional 240/110 AC Power. This Generator is necessary for high 240/110 AC
Power usage devices such as Air-conditioning. The AC Switch Panel selector must
be set from Shore Power to Generator.
This Generator uses salt-water cooling whose inlet is located below the
starboard forward cabin sole. The salt water-cooling inlet should only be “on”
whilst the generator is in use.
The salt water inlet is “on” when the handle is in line with the hose and “off”
when the handle is at right angles to the hose.
WARNING: To avoid Generator Salt Water Impellor damage the saltwater
inlet strainer must be full before starting the generator
.
The salt water strainer is located in the forward sail locker and may be topped
up by unscrewing the top.
