CAUTIONS

]

If you are not knowledgeable about electrical systems, consult an

electrical professional to install this panel.

]

This panel is not waterproof. Do not install panel in a location where it is

exposed to water.

]

Some stock panels are not ignition protected. Such panels must NOT be

installed in an explosive environment including gasoline engine rooms or
battery compartments. Check to see if your panel is ignition protected.


]

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

disconnected at the battery before the panel is installed. Many inverters
have a “sleep mode” in which their voltage potential may not be
detectable with measuring equipment.

]

If an AC generator is installed on the vessel, it must be stopped and

rendered inoperable before the panel is installed.

]

Verify that no other DC and AC sources are connected to the vessel’s

wiring before installing the panel.

]

For AC/DC combination panels, ABYC compliance requires that when

the panel is open, there can be no access to energized AC parts without
the use of tools (ABYC E11.11.1.1). To comply, Insulating Rear Covers
should be installed over AC circuitry. USCG compliance requires that DC
circuitry not protected by a fuse or circuit breaker must have a boot, or an
insulating rear cover (Code of Federal Regulations 183.445)

]

USCG compliance requires that DC circuitry, not protected by a fuse or

circuit breaker, must have a boot or an insulating rear cover (Code of
Federal Regulations 183.445)
