AC Power Selector
A sliding lockout plate prevents the shore breaker group and generator breaker group from switching ON at the same time.
Slide the lockout plate to the position necessary to expose the chosen breaker group.

MAIN: Switch the MAIN breaker group ON if a shore power source is used to provide electricity to the AC electrical system.
GENERATOR: Switch the GENERATOR breaker group ON if the generator is used to provide electricity to the AC electrical
system.

POWER AVAILABLE GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT
The power available indicator light illuminates when the yacht is connected to a working shore power source. Switch the
shore circuit breaker group ON to provide power to the AC electrical system.
REVERSE POLARITY RED INDICATOR LIGHT (30 AMP ONLY)
The reverse polarity indicator light is illuminated when the shore power source electrical system is wired incorrectly and
the hot and neutral wires have been reversed.
VoLtMeteR – Line VoLtAGe
The voltmeter indicates the amount of voltage that is entering the AC electrical system.
The voltmeter should read between 110 and 120 volts (220 and 230 volts European) when the yacht's AC electrical
system is connected to either a shore power source or to the generator (while the generator is running) with the MAIN
breakers ON.
If the voltmeter reads 95 volts (220 volts European) or less, DO NOT USE THE AC SYSTEM. If the voltmeter reads 95 (220
volts European) or less, do one of the following:
Contact the marina's management to identify and correct a shore power problem.
Have a qualified technician service your generator.
NOTITE: If the reverse polarity light is illuminated, turn off the craft's shore power connection switch immediately, and
then contact the dock master to have it corrected.
NOTE: For boats that operate on 110 volts (230 volts European), the limits are 110-120 volts (220 and 230 volts
European) AC and no less than 100 volts (220 volts European).
If the voltmeter reads zero voltage and indicator lights are not illuminated, no electricity is reaching the AC control center.
