Mermaid Air Conditioner - Manual (Page 18)

MAKE SURE THAT ALL AC POWER TO THE BOAT HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED. FAILURE TO REMOVE ALL BOAT AC POWER COULD
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Determine which power cable is from the pump (16 gauge cable) and strip the outside
insulation back about six inches. Then strip each of the three individual wires back about
1/4 inch. Facing the WHITE terminal block on the side of the electric box, locate the
connection labeled "PUMP". Using the appropriate size flat blade screw driver, open the
connections marked "WHITE" and "BLACK" and slide the "BLACK" and "WHITE"
wires into the open connector slots for each color. Make sure that no bare wire is
exposed outside the connector slot and tighten the screw. Pull each wire to insure it is
tightly connected. Using an appropriate size electrical ring connector, attach the
"GREEN" wire to the "GROUND" post located on the mounting bracket.
WARNING
HAVING ANY BARE WIRE EXPOSED OUTSIDE THE WHITE TERMINAL
BLOCK COULD CREATE ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAUSING SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
Next, locate the 115 (or 220) vac power cable from the Circuit Breaker Panel (12 gauge
cable) and connect this cable to the electric box WHITE terminal block by inserting the
wires into the connector slots marked "POWER". To do this, follow the same procedure
as with the pump connections. (SEE ABOVE WARNING ON EXPOSED BARE
WIRE CONNECTIONS)
Locate the BLACK terminal strip on the outside of the electrical box (just above the
power terminal block) and attach the thermostat power cable. This terminal strip is color
coded for easy determination of which wire is attached to which connection ("RED" to
"R", "GREEN" to "G" etc.). Any excess cable may be neatly coiled next to the box or
cut off and shortened to fit. If excess is cut off, do not make connections with bare wires,
install new connectors on each wire.
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THAT YOU SECURE ALL LOOSE WIRING AND HOSES WITH
APPROPRIATE SIZE NYLON CLIPS OR CABLE TIES TO MAKE SURE THAT
BOAT OR WAVE ACTION WILL NOT CAUSE STRESS OR KINKING.
