6.1-1
"house use” battery bank. This #1 bank has two or more batteries
wired in series and should be for general use. Battery bank #2 has
one single battery and is reserved for starting the engine when bank
#1 has an inadequate charge. In the event that neither bank #1 nor
bank #2 has sufficient charge to start the engine, the battery select
switch can be turned to "Both". This w i 11 combine the total available
power output from both banks of batteries. In order to protect the
two banks of batteries from each other and to prevent the inadvertent
consumption of all power from them, we recommend minimal use of the
"Both" position of the battery select switch. Remember - the engine will
charge only the battery that is switched on at the selector switch.
110 volt A.C. Shorepower System (Optional)
The 110 volt AC shorepower system is functional only when the
vessel is plugged into suitable power from shore. The cord provided
has the standard end for the amperage service. Depending on the
wiring in your facility, various adaptors may be required to plug
the shore end of the cord in. The vessel end of the cord plugs into
the inlet located inside the cockpit. The cord should be inserted
with the socket holes matching those in the inlet, and turned to lock
the socket. The outside ring on the cord should then be screwed
into the flange of the inlet to give the cord additional protection
from pulling ou t.
The switch panel for the shorepower system is located next to the
DC panel.
Functions of the panel are as follows:
I
A. Orange Licrhtf Indicates that the shore power is hooked to
an active shore system.
B. AC, Vol tmeter: Indicates line voltage being received from
the shore circuit.
