This weekend, like many, we had record high heat. Went to a marina we frequent often and never had a problem... Til Saturday.
Docked, plugged in shore power, shut down the generator and started up the A/Cs again on shore power. A few minutes later, ALL of my AC units had shut down with the code "LO AC" on the thermostat.
Shore power was reading 200 which is low, but oddly I was the only guy having this issue.
Read the trouble shooting guide which said something to the effect of "LO AC" will shut down the unit to prevent damage when the voltage is below 200vac for 3 continuous minutes.
To make sure that was the issue, I started up the generator again and was able to run all the ACs again.
We were fortunate that they were able to move us to another slips and it helped, but not til later in the day. In the evening and yesterday, we were fine.
My question is, why would I be the ONLY one experiencing that kind of an issue? Seemed very strange to me.
I have 4 Cruisair A/Cs in various sizes..
