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 distribution panel.

2. Select mounting location and cut opening

If this panel is to serve as your main shore power disconnect circuit

breaker, select a location which is not more then 10 feet from the shore

power inlet or the electrical attachment point of a permanently installed

shore power cord as measured along the conductors of the feed wires.

If it is more then 10 feet, additional fuses or circuit breakers must be

installed within 10 feet of the shore power inlet.

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

front and back and is not in an area where flammable vapors from

propane, gasoline or lead acid batteries accumulate. The circuit

breakers used in marine electrical panels 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 branch circuit wires

Determine the proper wire size for each branch circuit using the chart

below. Verify that the standard circuit breakers installed in the panel

are correct for each branch circuit. Remove and replace any that are

incorrectly sized. The circuit breaker must have a rating less than the

allowable amperage of the wire, yet greater than the circuit's

continuous current.

Connect each branch circuit hot (black) to the appropriate load

terminal. Connect each branch circuit neutral (white) to one of the

screws on the neutral bus. Connect each branch safety ground wire

(green) to one of the screws of the safety ground bus.

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.

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

feed circuit wire sizes.

Document 6618 Rev.B

] 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 panel front or back is to be exposed to water it must be

protected with a waterproof shield.

] The panels must not be installed in explosive environments such as

gas engine rooms or battery compartments as the circuit breakers

are not ignition proof.

] The vessel's shore power cord must be disconnected form shoreside

power before installing this electrical panel.

] 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 panel is installed.

] Verify that no other AC source is connected to the vessels' wiring

before the panel is installed.
