3. Inverter
When plugged into shore–power, the “AC in” and one of the three inverter
status lights will be illuminated in the status bar. The “charge” light will also
be illuminated. Before un-plugging from the dock power, press the charge
button on the panel and switch off all the breakers on the 110V panel, (see
previous page), as well as the breaker on the dock power outlet. Do this
process in reverse when plugging into dock power.
To use the inverter:
1.
Start the yacht's engine; bring the rpm up to 1400.
2.
Press the “invert” button under the control section of the panel. The green
light on the switch will then illuminate.
3.
On the 110V panel, ensure the main and outlet breakers are switched on;
leave the water heater switch off.
4.
All of the 110V outlets are now live.
5.
Reverse steps 1, 2 & 3 to switch off the inverter, but run the engine for
ten minutes before switching it off.
Always ensure that you have switched the inverter off by checking that the
switch on the panel is no longer illuminated. Leaving the inverter on will
cause your batteries to rapidly lose their charge.
