Bayside Pedestal Model BU3050
Installation, Maintenance, and Operation Manual
INTERIOR MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
3. Annual Light Fixture Maintenance:
The light fixture can be tested by covering the photocell for 2-4 minutes to simulate darkness. The photocell should close the circuit to
illuminate the bulb. Should the bulb not illuminate, unscrew the two (2) screws fastening the lens to the main housing and pivot the lens
upward to expose the lamp assembly. Check the protective inline fuse and replace if necessary. Replace the bulb and re-fasten lens.
NOTE: Ensure terminal block finger guard is in place for safe bulb access. Risk of serious electric shock could result if guard is
not in place.
OPERATION:
1. Connect Shore Power Cord to Vessel:
Insert the female end of the shore power cord into the vessel's power inlet connection. Twist the plug to lock on and tighten the locking plug
retainer nut until the cord set is snug to the vessel.
2. Connect Shore Power Cord to Power Pedestal:
With the circuit breakers in the OFF position, insert the shore power cord into the receptacle and twist the plug clockwise until it locks onto
the receptacle.
3. Turn the Circuit Breaker ON:
With both connections secured, turn the circuit breaker to the ON position. Check to see that the power indicator light on the vessel
indicates a successful attachment of the shore power cord. A circuit breaker which trips under load indicates an issue with the vessel wiring
and or equipment. Short circuits, overload and/or ground faults (if the power outlet panel is equipped with ground fault protected circuit
breakers) will cause circuit breakers to trip, requiring the vessel's electrical system to be examined and repaired by a qualified electrician
before the vessel can reconnect to the power pedestal.
For power outlet panels equipped with optional ground fault protection: if the breaker(s) immediately trips upon inserting the shore power
cord, the grounded (neutral) conductor and the equipment ground conductor are improperly bonded on the vessel. A qualified electrician
must repair this faulty wiring/equipment before the vessel can reconnect to the power pedestal.
To Reset the Sentinel II Ground Fault Relay (GFR480-1): Once the ground fault has been cleared, press the "TEST/RESET" button for < 1
second, switch the breaker(s) to "OFF" and the "ON" to re-energize the shore power receptacle(s).
4. Reading the Kilowatt-Hour (kWH) Counter:
Power outlet panels equipped with kWH Meters provide an electromechanical odometer output with six (6) digits. The far right digit on this
counter represents tenths of a kWH. For example, a kWH counter reading of " 1 2 3 4 5 6" would indicate 12,345.6 kWH. The previous
reading would be deducted from this reading to determine the kWH used between readings. For example, a previous reading of 9,688.2
kWH: 12,345.6 - 9,688.2 = 2,657.4 kWH used between readings. This usage would be multiplied by the kWH rate for billing.
