INSTALLATION COMPLETION TESTING
1.	 Apply	labels	for	main	and	branch	circuits—additional	labels	are	available		
 at www.bluesea.com. 
2.	 Fasten	panel	to	the	mounting	surface.	
Test the Panel: 
1.	 Use	a	multimeter	to	verify	continuity	before	power	is	applied.	
 This procedure takes a little time, but is recommended, especially if 
 some elements of a previous installation might not have been properly 
 labeled, or followed the expected color codes.
2. Reconnect all AC and DC power.
3.	 Turn	the	main	switch	ON.	
4. If there are meters, check DC voltage and current measurements with 
	 the	DC	meter;	check	AC	voltage,	current,	power,	and	frequency	
 with AC meter. 
5. Turn on each branch circuit to verify power to each circuit.
Shore Power Cable Connection: 
1.	 Connect	the	vessel’s	shore	1,	shore	2,	and	genset	power	and	verify	that								
 a Reverse Polarity light is not illuminated. 
2. If the red Reverse Polarity light is on, then either the hot and ground or 
 the hot and neutral wires have been crossed. If there is an error,
 starting at the panel, trace the connection back as far as necessary to 
 locate the error. 
Source Selection Rotary Switch:
It is very important that the wiring be connected according to the panel 
wiring schematic. The panel wiring schematic is on the panel product page 
at www.bluesea.com. The line and neutral from each source must be paired 
together and not connected such that the switch selects line from one 
source	and	neutral	from	another.	Verify	the	connections	and	see	that	each	
connection is securely tightened, including terminals on the switch where no 
wires are attached.
Selector switches may fail if there is dust between the contacts. Blow out 
the	switch	using	a	high-pressure	air	source.
