XVII) ELECTRIC SYSTEMS

When the voltage is not specified, all the functions or panels are in 12 Volts.
12V Electric System
Never work on a live electric fitting.
Never tamper with an electric fitting. Call in a technician qualified in marine electricity.
The batteries must be carefully and safely stowed.
In order to prevent a short circuit between the battery terminals, do not store conductive objects near the batteries
(e.g. metal tools, ...)
Never alter the specifications of the breakers, which protect against overload.
Never fit or replace the electric materials or appliances with components, which exceed the system amperage.
110V-220V Electric System
Boats are fitted with a 110V/60Hz or a 220V/50Hz system (some as standard, others as an option, depending on the
models). We advise you to follow these steps in order to avoid the risk of electric shock and fire.
Do not work on a live fitting.
Connect the boat / shore supply cable to the boat before you plug it into the shore supply socket with the
breaker off. Turn the breaker on last.
Do not immerse the boat / shore cable socket.
Turn off the shore supply switch on board before you plug in or unplug the boat / shore supply cable.
Do not tamper with the connections of the Boat / shore supply cable. Use only compatible connections.
