WARNING

It is not possible within the scope of these instructions to fully acquaint

the installer with all the knowledge of electrical systems that may be

necessary to correctly install this product. If the installer is not

knowledgeable in electrical systems we strongly recommend that an

electrical professional be retained to make the installation.

If either the switch front or back is to be exposed to water it must be

protected with a waterproof shield.

The switch must not be installed in explosive environments such as

gasoline engine rooms or battery compartments as the switches

are not ignition proof.

The vessel’s shore power cord must be disconnected form shoreside

power before installing this electrical switch.

If an inverter is installed on the vessel its power leads must be

disconnected at the battery before the panel installation. Be aware that

many inverters have a “sleep mode” in which their voltage potential

may not be detectable with measuring equipment.

If an AC Generator is installed aboard it must be stopped and rendered

inoperable before the switch is installed.

Verify that no other AC or DC source is connected to the vessel’s

wiring before the switch is installed.

Installation

1. Disconnect all AC and DC power

Disconnect all AC power originating on or off the vessel. This includes

inverters, generators, shore power attachments and any other device

capable of supplying AC power to the ship’s circuits.

Disconnect the main positive DC cable from all batteries to eliminate

the possibility of a short circuit and to disable the inverter while

installing the switch.

2. Select mounting location and cut opening

Select a mounting location which is protected from water on the front

and back of the switch and is not in an area where flammable vapors

from propane, gas or lead acid batteries accumulate. AC rotary

switches are not ignition protected and may ignite such vapors.

Using the panel template provided, make a cut out in the mounting

surface where the distribution panel is to be mounted. Do not yet

fasten the panel to the mounting surface.

3. Install source 1, source 2 and output wires

Install the feed wires from AC Shore Power and AC Generator. Install

the output wires. Refer to the wire sizing chart to select the minimum

wire size. Connect the black AC hot, white AC neutral and green AC

safety ground as shown in the illustration. To avoid excess wire

temperatures when cooling may be limited, we recommend using at

least 12 gauge wire for 30A and 8 gauge wire for 50A.

Do not confuse the neutral current carrying wires (sometimes called

ground) with the green normally non-current carrying wires (sometimes

called grounding). These two wires must be connected only at the

source of power, nowhere else.

A double pole circuit breaker must be installed within 10 feet of the

shore power inlet, ahead of this switch. The measurement is made

along the conductors.

The switch provides switching, but does not provide circuit protection.

It is not a substitute for a main circuit breaker.

Wire sizing chart

Use the wire sizing chart below to determine the minimum branch and

feed circuit wire sizes.

4. Testing Connections

It is very important that the wiring be connected according to the

diagram. 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 the terminals for the

jumpers installed on the switch where no wires are attached.

It is possible to verify the connections using an ohmmeter before power

is applied. These procedures take a little time, but are recommended,

especially if some elements of a previous installation might not have

been properly labeled or followed the expected color codes.
