BEFORE STARTING AIR CONDITIONER

Seacock
Strainer
stalled between the seacock and the AC pump. This
strainer stops foreign matter from being ingested into the
AC pump or air conditioning system. Periodically inspect
the strainer and clean as necessary.
3. The best way to activate the A/C system is to make
sure both shorepower cords are plugged in and both
dockside breakers and the transom inlet breakers are en-
ergized. Refer to the systems chapter for more informa-
tion.
An alternative method is to use one shore power cord
and simply energize the transfer breaker on the main AC
control panel. This sends 120 volts to both banks of the
AC. If you employ this method you have 30 total amps
availability verses dual 30 amps. You need to monitor
the A/C load current meter as you energize various cir-
cuits especially using the air conditioner. The above
method limits the number of circuits you can energize.
The A/C can be used while cruising through the genera-
tor. The generator supplies alternating current to operate
the air conditioner. As above, once the generator is
started, use the transfer switch to distribute current. See
the systems chapter for operating the generator.
4. Activate the air conditioner breaker at the A/C distri-
bution panel.

TIPS FOR STARTING THE A/C SYSTEM
1. Always check for a steady flow of water from the
overboard discharge. Periodically check the discharge
during the units activation. When first starting the air
conditioner up there is a lag time between turning on
the system and the air conditioner seawater pump being
activated.
2. Verify that there is steady airflow out of the supply
air grills.
3. Do not block the intake grill. It provides continued
air for the A/C system. Clean filter periodically.
4. The air conditioning system is programmed for an
automatic operation mode. See the Marine Air owner's
manual for changing the mode to heat or cool only.
