Blue Sea Systems 8032 Traditional Metal Panel - 120V AC 30A Toggle Source Selector - Manual (Page 2)

Installation (continued)
4. Interrupt Ratings
If complete ABYC compliance is desired, verify that the circuit breaker
supplied in this panel as shown in Table A meets the interrupt rating
requirements of Table B.
7. Testing
@
Connect the vessel’s shore power and verify the Reverse Polarity
light is not illuminated. Verify that the green LED is illuminated to
ensure that power is present at the panel. If the red Reverse
Polarity light is on then either the hot and ground or the hot and
neutral wires have been crossed. Starting at the panel, trace the
connections back as far as necessary to locate the error.
@
Using a multimeter where the power source is connected to the
panel verify:
a. 120 volts between hot and neutral
(nominal, this may vary depending on source voltage)
b. 120 volts between hot and ground.
c. 0 volts between neutral and ground.
@
Turn off the shore power and test with the alternate source.

5. Installation of Backlight System
The backlight board is a DC device. When installing it in an AC panel
both wire leads must be connected to an appropriate DC source and
ground.
Connect the yellow negative wire to a DC ground. Connect the red
positive wire to any DC positive supply, usually a switch that controls
the vessel’s other nighttime illumination.
6. Apply circuit labels and mount panel
Apply a label for each circuit form the 10 basic labels provided. Fasten
the panel to the mounting surface.
