Inverter; Ac Power In Port Stern Cabin - BENETEAU Pure Joy Too Operation Manual

ATT provides generally good reception in the San Juan Islands. Exceptions include Roche Harbor
and some of Sucia Island's bays and coves. At Sucia and other northern U.S. islands you may find
that you get Canadian cell reception rather than U.S. Do not use the ATT Unite Pro in international
roaming mode because ATT will charge substantial amounts for data that will be passed onto you.

Inverter

Pure Joy Too includes a 600 watt inverter that mounted underneath the nav. table. It can be used to
provide limited 120 volts AC service when you are away from shore power. The main purpose of the
inverter is to allow you to charge your laptop computer(s). It may also be used to power other low-
power appliances such as CPAP machines (see AC Power in Port Stern Cabin below for details). It
cannot be used to power the microwave, toaster or a hair dryer. Please understand that the inverter
draws on the house batteries and thus competes for power with the refrigerator, cabin lights, etc. If
you use the inverter, please turn off the refrigerator or set its thermostat to 1 to conserve battery
power. The inverter does not power the main AC receptacles on the boat; they are only available
while you are on shore power and the appropriate AC breakers are turned on. There are two AC
receptacles on the face of inverter. One of them is normally used to power the special AC outlet in
the port stern cabin (see below).
To turn on the inverter look for the toggle switch at the top right of its face. Push the left side of the
switch to turn on the inverter. This will also activate "bat save" which will automatically turn off the
inverter if the house battery goes below 11.9 volts. To operate the inverter without the bat-save
feature, press the right side of the switch rather than the left side. This will allow you to use the
inverter until the house battery drops below 10.5 volts although it is not recommended as it shortens
the life of the batter. This switch also serves as the circuit breaker switch for the inverter. If the load
on the inverter exceeds 600 watts, an alarm will sound and you should turn off the switch to silence
the alarm.
To turn off the inverter return the switch the center position.

AC Power in Port Stern Cabin

There is a special 120-volt AC receptacle in the port stern cabin. You will find it under the bunk on
the right side as you face the bunk. To ensure that it receives power, verify that the cord above the
inverter is plugged into the inverter and that the inverter's power switch is set to the right to disable
"bat save". (See Inverter above). This receptacle can be used to provide power to a low-power
CPAP machine but you should understand that its source of power is the house battery which
provides power to many other things on the boat. As such, we cannot guarantee that there will be
enough power to keep a CPAP machine running all night.
CPAP AC receptacle depends on several things including
1.
how long you will run the diesel engine during the day to recharge the batteries;
2.
how much power your CPAP machine consumes; and
3.
the other things that you turn on or use that draw battery power.
To maximize the availability of power to the inverter, turn off all instruments at the panel while the
engine is not running, turn down or turn off the refrigerator, turn off lights that you are not using and
minimize the use of the stereo.
