Manual Purpose

With your personal safety in mind, this manual lists important safety precautions first, then covers installation,

operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty and customer service information.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions

for the C-Power. Read the entire manual before usage.

Environmental Precaution

Do not expose the C-Power to rain, snow, or excessive moisture.

C-Power Application Precaution

These units are intended for hard-wired applications. Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Charles

Marine Products may result in risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

Damaged C-Power Precaution

Do not operate the C-Power if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. See the sec-

tion in this manual on Warranty & Customer Service.

Disassembly Precaution

Do not disassemble the C-Power. See the sections in this manual on Maintaining the C-Power, Troubleshooting

the C-Power and Warranty & Customer Service.

Maintenance/Cleaning Precaution

To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect the C-Power from AC power and load before attempting any mainte-

nance or cleaning.

Grounding Precautions

When the C-Power is permanently mounted inside the boat, it must have a grounding conductor.

1. The C-Power should be connected to a metal, grounded, permanent wiring system. An equipment-

grounding conductor should be run with circuit wiring and connected through the C-Power housing

grommets to the equipment grounding (GRN) terminal on the C-Power.

2. Connections to the C-Power should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

LT93−PS1230−1 Issue 1 Print 3

INSTALLING THE C-POWER

Choosing Mounting Hardware

As with any marine equipment, secure mounting is of utmost importance. The bolts or screws used to secure the

C-Power must be 1/4-inch in diameter, backed with a flat washer, and kept vibration-free with a split-ring lock

washer. If using bolts, they must be long enough to be secured on both sides of the bulkhead. If using screws,

they should be at least 1 inch long. All hardware should be corrosion-resistant.

Mounting the C-Power

All corrosion-resistant mounting hardware should be readily available. Follow the steps below to mount the C-

Power to the bulkhead.

Step Action

1. Hold the C-Power vertically flush on the bulkhead.

2. Mark the mounting holes.

3. Remove the C-Power.

4. Drill the mounting holes.

5. Insert one side of the mounting hardware half-way into the drilled mounting holes.

6. Align the mounting slots on the C-Power with the secured hardware and slide the C-Power’s mounting

flange under the washers.

7. Insert the mounting hardware for the other side.

8. Secure all mounting hardware.

Mounting the Optional Splash Guard

If ordered, position and install the optional splash guard (Figure 1) over the C-Power so that the back flange bot-

tom rests on top of the C-Power. This insures proper vertical spacing for ventilation. For optimum splash protec-

tion, be sure to center the splash guard horizontally over the C-Power. Secure with 1/4 inch diameter screws,

approximately 1/2 inch long.

Do not operate this unit without the green wire connected to the C-Power and to suitable ground at

shore connection.

DANGER

Note: Read this manual and all precautions before installing or making connections!

Choosing Electrical Wiring Hardware

The C-Power is intended for hard-wiring in a permanent application. Conduit or other appropriate marine electrical

installation hardware should be used.

Choosing Wire Gauge

Use Table 2 and Table 3 to determine the appropriate wire gauges. Avoid unnecessarily long runs of either AC or

DC power lines.

Before working on electrical equipment, first determine there is no live power! Double check power

connections.

WARNING

Making AC Connections on Terminal Block 1 (TB1)

After determining the wire lengths and gauges, make the AC wiring connections to TB1. (Refer to the Block Dia-

gram in Figure 1.) To make connections to the terminal blocks:

Step Action

1. Remove the small screw in the center of the unit that secures the sliding door to the top cover

2. Gently slide the door up until it stops

3. Bring the AC input wire in through the left side access hole on the bottom of the C-Power

4. Connect the WHT terminal to the white (neutral) input

5. Connect the BLK terminal to the black (hot) AC input

6. Connect the GRN terminal to the green (ground) input.

Making DC Connections on Terminal Block 2 (TB2)

After the appropriate wire lengths and gauges have been determined, make the DC connections to TB2. (Route

the DC wire through the right-side access hole on the bottom of the C-Power.) TB2 has one positive (+) terminal

and one negative (−) terminal.

Closing the Access Door

Before closing the access door, make sure that all electrical connections have been made properly. Also check

that all wiring is properly dressed with no exposed, bare wires. Pull down the C-Power access door and secure it

to the top cover with the small screw provided.

Changing Internal Fuses

Irregular conditions may cause one or more of the internal fuses to blow. ALWAYS determine there is no live pow-

er before replacing a fuse. To access the fuses, remove the small screw in the center of the unit that secures the

sliding door to the top cover. Slide the access door up until it stops. The AC fuse (F1) is located just above the

AC terminal block (TB1). The DC fuses (F2 & F3) are located above the DC terminal block (TB2). When replacing

fuses, use only fuses of the exact type and rating (See Table 4). Before reapplying power, pull down the access

door to close it. Once down, secure the access door to the top cover with the small screw provided.

MAINTAINING THE C-POWER

There are no adjustment or maintenance requirements for the C-Power other than cleaning the outside cabinet

with a dry cloth. Periodically have all connections checked by a qualified service person, especially if the boat is

operated in heavy, pounding seas.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE C-POWER

If there is a problem with the C-Power, first check all connections and retest. If all connections are good, see if

the problem is covered in Table 5. If the problem is not covered in Table 5, or if the C-Power still malfunctions af-

ter performing the solution given, contact Charles Marine Products for technical assistance.

Table 5. Troubleshooting Suggestions

# Problem Solution

1. The ammeter deflects

in a counterclockwise

direction.

Disconnect the unit immediately. Examine wiring instructions again to assure proper

connections. A movement in a counterclockwise direction or a full-scale movement

indicates excessive current. A wiring error is suspected. A voltmeter can monitor the

voltage when the C-Power is turned on.

2. Internal red LED on. The unit is at half-power because the ambient air is too hot. The unit may be at

half-power because the fan is not working. Full power will be restored when the

temperature returns to normal.
