Ho all At the opposite side of thé clima thermostat il a small screw. Turn it and the compressor will start Anroine Cordialement Antoine Feltz

Bill, Could a ground fault occur in the A/C controller switch that only happens when the High fan is selected and the compressor is on? I have never taken one of those switches apart, but I have

Thank you to the group for clearing up my confusion. Terry SV Libby

Andrew and Eric, When I turn the breaker ON with the A/C controls already set to Cool and High Fan, the fault occurs. When I turn the breaker ON with the A/C controls already set to Cool and Med fan,

The heater does not use the compressor, just resistance heat. I believe it is the 40 uf capacitor and is unable to start the compressor at high speed. Also check the 3 small capacitors Fair

Hi Bill Does the compressor come on straight away on medium - there is supposed to be a delay, perhaps the timer circuit has malfunctioned or needs adjusted. If it comes on straight-away perhaps the

Bill, Why dont you get a 40 uf capacitor from any AC repairman, You will probably have to jury rig it as the capacitor in the unit is small. Or you could just take a 40 uf capacitor from another

To continue on the previous posting.... Also, and probably really important, the Fan works on High when the unit is set to Heat rather than cool. I only have an issue when the unit is set to COOL and

I am experiencing something strange. We entered the marina at Carfu, Greece yesterday and summer arrived in Greece yesterday. I connected to shore power and turned on the Salon A/C on High Fan and

Herbert, I agree. I have been searching for a second ground in the bilge on my Santorin, and there isn't one there - just the copper strap in the lazarette. Thanks for your information on grounding

very good explanation Herbert I think that all SMs have the two seperate grounds....in mine it was written on the cables at the nav station...so it should be clear which ground is

Good Morning to all, Alans 2nd option was what I wanted to explain :-) On our SN we do not have a separate HF ground (I think this was an option that the first owner did not order from amel), the

Hi when you install the tuner in the aft locker on your SM you'll notice a copper foil that attaches to a ground Plate on the skeg. That is the tuner ground. Fair Winds Smooth Sailing To All Capt

I think Herbert means that you can use the ships earth to make your SSB ground even better, as long as you isolate any DC current from it and you can do that by wiring 10 3900pf capacitors in parallel

Wichard makes wonderful stainless steel shackles used above the waterline. Like attaching sails to halyards. We have many Wichard shackles on our boat. For use on ground tackle, underwater, in the

Herbert, This just went way over my head. If the capacitors are on parallel this means 4 connection points – two at each end? How is this connected to the single ground wire? Also, the boat

If you want to be on the safe side you can put 10 small ceramic capacitors with 3900pF (2500V) each, solded together in parallel (will give 39nF(2500 V) with little Skin Effect) between the tuner

Alan is 100% correct. I spent hours (okay ~ days ~ or, perhaps weeks) researching this. The 802 cable that connects the 802 to the AT has a ground wire and should be connected to both the 802 and to

Amel say don't connect the SSB ground to the ships earth... The 802 ground should be connected to the tuner ground and that connected to the copper strap in the lazarette only. If you don't have an
