Reverse Polarity Light Test Switch

There is a momentary switch located below the reverse polarity light in the AC breaker panel. This switch

is used to test the reverse polarity light to ensure that it is functioning. The light can be tested by depressing

the switch whenever the AC system is activated. The reverse polarity light should be tested each time the AC

system is activated. If the light does not activate when the switch is pressed, disconnect the shore power cable

and notify a qualified electrician to check the light and the dockside wiring if necessary.

Microwave

Supplies AC current directly to the microwave oven. See the microwave manual for more information.

Refrigerator

Supplies AC electrical current directly to the optional refrigerator when AC power is available and chosen

over the 12-volt power supply. See the refrigerator manual for more information.

Ice Maker/Spare

Not used.

Stove

Supplies electrical current directly to the galley stove. See the stove manual for more information.

Battery Charger

The battery charger supplies electrical current directly to the automatic battery charger. The battery charger

charges and maintains the 12-volt batteries simultaneously when activated. It is automatic and is equipped

with an amp meter to monitor charging. See the battery charger manual for more information.

Battery Charger Operation:

At dockside, when the boat is connected to shore power, the battery charger maintains the charge on the house

and electronics batteries. Under normal circumstances there is no current drain on the engine batteries at

dockside, so continuous charging is unnecessary and the life of the engine batteries will be extended. This

system allows all of the capacity of the battery charger to be used to maintain the batteries that are typically

in use in dockside situations. One leg of the battery charger is connected to a circuit breaker located below

the battery switch panel and is connected to the port engine battery switch. To charge both engine batteries

at dockside, turn the parallel switch to the "ON" position. Once the engine batteries have been charged, return

the parallel switch to the "OFF" position. If charging of the engine batteries is not desired, open the circuit

breaker by depressing the red button.

The wires that supply DC charging current to the batteries are protected by an internal fuse in the battery

charger and two circuit breakers, one for each battery bank output wire. The external breakers protect the

DC charging circuit from the batteries to the charger. They are located on the DC distribution panel and are

labeled house and electronics. The internal fuses in the charger protect the DC charging circuit from the

charger to the batteries. Push to reset the breakers.

To monitor the engine batteries, activate the charger and turn the engine battery switches on. Turn the port

and starboard parallel switches to the on position. Turn the ignition key switch for each engine to the “ON”

position (DO NOT START THE ENGINES) and read the voltage on the volt meter for each engine. If the

batteries are in good condition and charging properly, the volt meters will indicate between 12 and 14.5 volts.

If the reading is below 12 volts, then the battery is not accepting a charge. Always turn the ignition switches

and parallel switches off immediately after the monitoring is complete.
