DANGER!
Your boat is delivered without a boat/shore power supply cable or male connector plug for the
shore supply socket. You will need to provide for a cable that is suitable for exterior use. The
cable’s cross-section must correspond to its length and the power rating of the main breaker
(see electrical diagram).
The plug must be suitable for the shore socket (if in doubt, ask a professional). It should be as
close as possible to the type IP 67 / IEC529.
WARNING: To limit the risks of electric shocks and fire.
● Switch off the shore power using the onboard disconnect switch before plugging in or
unplugging the boat/shore power supply cable.
● Connect the boat/shore supply cable at the boat end before connecting it to the shore supply
socket end.
● Disconnect the boat/shore power supply cable at the shore socket end before disconnecting
it at the boat end.
● Close the shore socket cover carefully.
Never:
● Modify the connectors of the boat/shore supply cable; only use compatible connectors.
● Swim near to a boat that is connected to a shore socket: risk of electrocution!
Location of the master 220 V automatic breaker: see the electrical layout diagram.
Have the system checked at least every two years.
During haul-out maintenance, place the RCCB in the “ON” position to provide ground protection
via the shore socket.
WARNING
Never let the end of the boat/shore supply cable fall into the water. This may create an electric
field that could kill or injure any persons swimming nearby.
WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK – INVERTER
If the boat has an inverter that converts direct current (D.C.) to alternating current (A.C.), to
prevent any risk of death or injury due to electric shock, disconnect the shore AC supply line and
the inverter’s DC supply before opening any electrical panel or working on electrical circuits.
