6. Generator
Do not run the generator when underway. Note: There is no Generator /
Shore power selector switch. The process is fully automated.
Nauti Dog is fitted with its own generator which will run the 110v outlets, the air
conditioning and will also charge the batteries in place of the engine. The generator is
in the port engine room and the start panel is inside the saloon next to the 12V panel.
The reset breaker for the generator is located on the left side of the generator, towards
the back.
Main breakers for the generator
•
To use the 110v sockets you must switch on the 110v outlet switches in the
starboard engine compartment.
•
The water heater will work when the generator is running but this is not usually
needed. Hot water is primarily generated by running the main engines.
To start the generator:
•
Make sure all the 110v systems (especially the air conditioning) have been switched
off prior to starting the generator.
•
Press the start button to establish communication with generator control. The
status on the display is 'Stopped'.
•
Press and hold the 'Start' button. The status will move from 'Stopped' to 'Starting'
to 'Running'.
•
Allow the generator to warm up for 5 minutes and then gradually load up the
system, adding one load (air conditioner) every 5 minutes.
