Aux. Charge; Power Steering Breaker; Engine Battery Switch; House Battery Switch - Regal LS4 Owner's Manual

Aux. Charge

This 80 amp breaker controls the auxiliary charging
wire which originates at the outboard stator charg-
ing system. Normal outboard stator output is 70
amps for mechanical engines and DEC engines.
The current is distributed to the batteries by the
ACR system. Note: Only found on earlier systems

Power Steering Breaker

This 80 amp breaker controls the power steering
pump and wiring circuitry. There is one per engine.
This pump provides necessary fl uid quantity and
pressure to operate the steering system.
Dash Main Breaker
This 50 amp breaker controls DC current running
to the helm wiring and subsequent components.

Engine Battery Switch

This "make before break" battery switch controls
the engine DC cranking system. Day to day op-
eration is to set this switch to the "on" position as
you prepare for cruising. When disembarking turn
the engine battery switch to the "off" position. If
the battery should become discharged turn the
engine battery switch to the "combine batteries"
position to parallel with the house main and house
accessory battery for cranking the engine. This ad-
ditional feature is available as there is a link bar
from the main battery switch to the accessory bat-
tery switch.
Never turn the engine battery switch to the "off"
position with the engine running as charging sys-
tem damage may occur.
Because of the "make before break" feature it per-
mits turning the engine battery switch to the "com-
bine batteries" position while the engine is running.

House Battery Switch

This "make before break" battery switch controls
the house main and house accessory battery.
The house main battery is connected to any lower
amperage draw components such as the lighting,
stereo, and bilge pump components.
The house accessory battery supports higher am-
perage draw components including (if installed)
bow thruster, windlass and Seakeeper. These
items use motors that to accomplish their func-
tions require increased amperage. Day to day op-
eration is to set this switch to the "on" position as
you prepare for cruising. When disembarking turn
the house battery switch to the "off" position.
If the battery should become discharged turn the
house battery switch to the "combine batteries"
position to parallel with the engine battery. Never
turn the house battery switch to the "off" position
with the engine running as charging system dam-
age may occur. Note however that because of the
"make before break" feature turning the house
battery switch to the "combine batteries" position
while the engine is running is possible.
