110v Breakers
The 110v breakers are in the port engine compartment
The 110-volt outlets will operate whilst you are plugged in to shore power or running
the generator. If the outlets do not work, then ensure that the 110v breakers are in
the ‘On’ position as shown below.

3. Inverter / Charger
The combined battery charger and inverter are in the stbd engine room.
Warning: Leaving the Inverter turned on will severely deplete the house batteries. For
that reason, it is better to run the engines at the same time. If you have the
Generator running, you do not need to use the Inverter.
It is essential to ensure that the toggle switch on the battery charger (shown above) is
always left in the ‘On’ position. The toggle switch on the Digital Multi Control (shown
below) should remain in the ‘charger only’ position except when it is necessary to use
the inverter as detailed below.
TO USE THE INVERTER:
1. Start the yacht's engines and bring the rpm up to 1400 IN NEUTRAL.
2. Move the toggle switch on the Digital Multi Control to ‘On’. The ‘Inverter On’ light
above the switch will then illuminate.
3. All the 110v outlets are now live.
4. Move toggle back to ‘Charger only’when you are finished with it to prevent
your house batteries from becoming depleted.
5. Run the engine for ten minutes after the inverter is switched off and check the
battery levels 15 minutes after the engine is turned off.

4. Engine start procedure.
•Make sure the engine is in neutral.
•Press the ON/OFF switch to turn the ignition panel on.
•Press the start button until the engine is running.
•When the engine is running, check you have water coming out of the exhaust.
•To stop the engine, push the STOP button and hold until the engine has stopped
and then push the OFF button.
There is an emergency parallel switch in the stbd engine compartment. It enables the
engine battery to be combined with the house bank if the engine start battery is too
low. If you need to use this switch, please call Horizon first.
Should you hear an engine alarm during operation, check which symbol
appears on the tachometer and immediately shut down the engine-CALL
HORIZON
All our yacht engines run on diesel fuel. There is a diesel filler cap at the aft of
the cockpit which is clearly marked “DIESEL” DO NOT PUT WATER IN HERE.
Emergency parallel switch

5. Daily Engine Checks
•Check the oil level using the yellow dip stick located to the right-hand side of the
engine. The level should be at least halfway between the empty and full marks. To
add oil, open the oil filler cap on the top of the engine.
•To the rear of the engine is the seawater filter, do not remove the cap.
•To the rear of the engine is the engine coolant reservoir. The coolant level should
be between the maximum and minimum lines.
•Check for any engine leaks or bilge water below engine.
•Check the belt for any damage and correct tension.
KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF ALL MOVING PARTS.

6. Generator
Do not run the generator when underway. Note: There is no Generator /
Shore power selector switch. The process is fully automated.
Nauti Dog is fitted with its own generator which will run the 110v outlets, the air
conditioning and will also charge the batteries in place of the engine. The generator is
in the port engine room and the start panel is inside the saloon next to the 12V panel.
The reset breaker for the generator is located on the left side of the generator, towards
the back.
•To use the 110v sockets you must switch on the 110v outlet switches in the
starboard engine compartment.
•The water heater will work when the generator is running but this is not usually
needed. Hot water is primarily generated by running the main engines.
To start the generator:
•Make sure all the 110v systems (especially the air conditioning) have been switched
off prior to starting the generator.
•Press the start button to establish communication with generator control. The
status on the display is ‘Stopped’.
•Press and hold the ‘Start’button. The status will move from ‘Stopped’to ‘Starting’
to ‘Running’.
•Allow the generator to warm up for 5 minutes and then gradually load up the
system, adding one load (air conditioner) every 5 minutes.
Main breakers for the generator

Stopping the generator
•Allow the Generator to cool down for 5 mins under no load before shutting
it down.
•Press and hold the ‘Stop’ button. The generator will shut down.

6. Air conditioning
It is critical that the load is applied to the generator slowly. Air conditioning
units must be turned on a few minutes apart to avoid overloading the
generator.
The air conditioning units will operate when the vessel is plugged in to shore power or
when the generator is running. Each hull has its own individual air conditioning
control unit and there is one for the saloon.
Water from all three AC units drains to the shower drain sump boxes in the bilges and
as a result you may hear intermittent pump operation when running the air
conditioning. These are hardwired and no switches are needed for them to operate.
The air conditioning units should be turned on after the generator has been running
for 5 minutes (or once the boat is plugged into shore power) and the breakers should
be shut off before stopping the generator or unplugging from shore power.
Ensure the companionway and all hatches are closed; otherwise, the compressors will
freeze up.
Starting the air conditioning:
•Switch on the required units 5 minutes apart.
•Each of these units also has an individual control which allows users to alter the
settings for the individual units.
Using the AC Cabin Controls:
Fan: Cycles through
the different fan
speeds
Temperature Indicator:
Displays the inside, set point,
outside, and water
temperatures, as selected.
Up: Raises the
temperature set-point
Down: Lowers the
temperature set-point
HCAC Modes:
•Cycles through the different
modes
•Sends the display to sleep.
Mode Icons: Indicates the
current display mode.

Control operation:
The four mode icons indicate the different modes of control: Cool, Moisture, Heat and
Aux Heat.
Press the Mode icon to select a mode:
•Display icons illuminate to indicate the selected mode.
•The display locks into the last mode selected after five seconds of activity, they
display the room temperature. The selected mode LED remains lit.
•After 10 seconds of inactivity, the display shows the room temperature and
enters the IDLE state.
•OFF displays on the screen to indicate the off state.
•When the display is making a call for heating, cooling, aux heat, or humidity, the
appropriate mode icon blinks for two seconds On and two seconds OFF.
Press any icon to wake up the control from the OFF or Idle state.
Press the mode icon for three seconds to initiate a SLEEP state:
•The display goes dark.
•Normal operation continues.
Press the mode icon for an additional three seconds to wake up the control.
Cool: The cool icon illuminates when the COOL mode is selected or when
the unit is in an AUTOMATIC mode cooling cycle. Only the cooling system
operates. If the ambient temperature drops below the set point, the system
will not automatically switch to the HEAT mode.
Moisture: This mode controls humidity during periods when the vessel is
unoccupied and prevents the cabin temperature from dropping below the
minimum default temperature setting.
Heat: Only the heating system operates. If the ambient temperature rises
above the set point, the system will not automatically switch to COOL
mode.

Aux Heat: The electric heating system is in operation. If the ambient
temperature rises above the set point, the system will not automatically
switch to COOL mode.
Automatic modes: Switches to cooling or heating as required to
satisfy the temperature set-point. When Automatic mode is
selected the system provides both heating and cooling, as
required.
Air Conditioning Fault Codes:
ASF: Air Sensor Failure
FIL: Filter, indicates the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
HPF: High Pressure Fault, indicates high refrigerant pressure. The fault is not
applicable in HEAT mode. Can also mean there is air in the lines and reducing your raw
water flow, you will have to bleed the system if this is the case.
LAC: Low AC Voltage
LPF: Low Pressure Fault indicates low refrigerant pressure. The fault has a 10 min shut
down delay.
PLF: Pump Sentry Fault, indicates high-water temperature in the condensing coil.
AC troubleshooting:
Iced up unit: You can tell a unit is iced up when it is running but there is no air
coming out of the AC vent. You can also look at the actual unit, it will be covered in
ice. Turn off the unit and let defrost. You can also move the mode from cooling to heat
for about 5 to 10 mins until you feel air coming out the vent again.
Unit not cooling: Check temperature settings. Ensure mode is set to cool.
HPF (Hight pressure fault): The AC units on the Altair are water cooled. A high-
pressure fault means that there is air in the system (lack of water flow). Check the
sides of the vessel and make sure water is coming out of the AC outlets on the hull. If
there is no raw water flow the unit will need bleeding.

Bleeding AC unit: Bleeding the unit means letting the air out of the system until
there is a steady flow of water to cool unit. On Altair the unit is bled from the AC pump
strainer. First turn the unit on to restart the Air conditioning pump. Give the cap on the
strainer a few turns counterclockwise until you start hearing air and water coming out
the top (do not take the strainer all the way off). Once there is a steady flow of water
tighten the cap on the strainer and check that water is coming out the side of the
vessel. The Ac strainer can also pick up seaweed and debris and might require cleaning
at times.
Speak to the manager on duty before attempting to bleed AC-Unit.
