CHECKING OF THE 110 V - 220 V CONSUMING APPLIANCES
l
SELECTION PANEL (in the cupboard behind the 12 V panel, in the star-
board companionway):
The panel is composed of selectors allowing to choose the electrical
power source for the different 110 V - 220 V consuming appliances on
board.
The boat's 110 V - 220 V distribution circuit switches automatically to
the shore supply as soon as the plug is inserted (with voltage present).
LEFT-HAND SIDE SELECTOR:
- for appliances powered by a 110 V - 220 V current from the generator
or the shore supply.
RIGHT-HAND SIDE SELECTOR:
- for the air conditioning system powered by a 110 V - 220 V current
from the generator or the shore supply.
USE OF THE 110 V - 220 V POWERED APPLIANCES
l
SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCES
In order to be able to use the 110 V - 220 V powered appliances
(microwave oven, etc.), it is advisable:
- Make sure that the automatic breakers are switched OFF on the
110 V - 220 V automatic breaker panel.
- Switch on the 110 V - 220 V source (start the generator or connect a
shore power socket to shore).
- Select this source on the selection panel so that this source supplies
the boat (110 V - 220 V electrical selection panel) or turn on the inverter
for the outlets.
REcommENDaTIoN
check the battery charge during the use of the inverter.
- Turn on the automatic breakers for the units to be used by using the
110 V - 220 V automatic breaker panel.
Then start the appliance with its own controls.
To start 110 V - 220 V elements, wait for 10 to 15 seconds between
the start up of each new component (in order to allow the generator
to become stabilized and be able to give the power necessary for the
starting up).
STOPPING THE 110 V - 220 V POWERED APPLIANCES
To stop the 110 V - 220 V powered appliances (microwave oven, etc.),
do as follows:
- Stop the appliance with its own controls.
To stop 110 V - 220 V elements, wait for 10 to 15 seconds between
the stop of each new component (in order to allow the generator to
become stabilized).
- Turn off the unit automatic breakers by using automatic breaker panel.
- Turn to OFF the 110 V - 220 V source selector (generator or shore
power) or turn off the inverter.
WaRNING
before you turn the 110 V - 220 V source selector to oFF, make sure no
other appliance is working (danger of an electric arc that would destroy the
changeover switch and risk of damaging the generator).
