7.3 LOAD MANAGEMENT OPERATION
7.3.1 Shore Cord Alarm
If the yacht’s electrical system includes a power management or load-shed feature, the Shore Cord
Alarm can be used to effect a change in loading when the converter reaches a programmed load
threshold, or simply draw the yacht engineer’s attention.
The Shore Cord Alarm drives a relay’s normally open contact pair that is provided at a terminal
block near the converter’s Shore Power Input terminal block. The contact pair is rated for 8A @
250VAC or 5A @ 24VDC.
From the front panel, press the SHORE POWER + F2 buttons to access the following screen:
An alarm signal will be issued whenever the Alarm is enabled and the converter's input current
equals or exceeds the Alarm Level (percentage) of the shore cord Rating. Note that the Alarm
MUST be Enabled for the Droop and/or Automatic Transfer to Generator features to function. Press
Cord (F1) for the Shore Cord Setup screen, Droop (F2) for the Voltage Droop screen, Transfer (F3)
for the Automatic Transfer to Generator screen, Cursor (F4) to move the cursor between the
ALARM AT % and ALARM enable settings, and Exit (F5) to save the settings and exit the screen.
When the cursor is on the ALARM AT % or ALARM enable settings, the Cord/Droop buttons will
change to More/Less and Enable/Disable respectively to allow for setting adjustment.
Default Range Units
