AS A SAFETY FEATURE
THE FORWARD AND AFT BILGE PUMP
CIRCUITS ALONG WITH THE HIGH WATER
ALARM ARE CONTINUOUSLY “ON” EVEN
WITH THE UNIVERSAL BATTERY SWITCHES
IN THE OFF POSITION.
The battery management system panel breaker circuitry
employs a lighted icon for each breaker. When lighted
that circuit is energized and protected.
With all 3 universal battery switches in the “off ” position
the following common breaker circuits are considered
“on” and should show a lighted icon above the breaker
name. These are the common breakers that will be “on”
when you normally leave the vessel for extended periods
of time.
ALL 3 UNIVERSAL BATTERY SWITCHES “OFF”
1. 3 battery charger
2. Fwd. bilge pump
3. Aft bilge pump
4. High water alarm
5. Stereo memory
6. Shower pump
Other possible universal battery switch positions are:
“HOUSE” UNIVERSAL BATTERY SWITCH ONLY
“ON”
1. All breakers “on” except for windlass and accessory
“PORT” UNIVERSAL BATTERY SWITCH ONLY
“ON”
1. Common breakers plus accessory and windlass
“STARBOARD” UNIVERSAL BATTERY SWITCH
ONLY “ON”
1. Common breakers and cable reels. No additional break-
ers “on”.
PREVENT POSSIBLE FIRE/EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE!
NEVER TURN THE UNIVERSAL BATTERY
SWITCHES TO THE “OFF” POSITION WHILE
THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING.
Note: As stated above the 115 amp diesel engine alter-
nators or electronics may be damaged from the current
spike created by turning off a universal battery switch
with the engine running.
