SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
NOTICE
BEFORE USING READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. TO BE
INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURN, OR EXPLOSION.
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE INSTALLING. NEVER WIRE

ELCIs are required onboard all new manufactured boats
(per ABYC E-11) to mitigate “electric shock drowning”
associated with ground fault leakage incurred by boats
into marina waterways. (Effective 12-31-2012).
Marine ELCIs must meet the requirements as outlined in
ABYC E-11 Electrical Systems Onboard Boat (11.11) and
ABYC environmental considerations for apparatus
onboard boat (S-31) as well as requirements outlined in
UL 943 and UL 1053. Trip level is < 30mA and trip time
is < 100mS.
Unit is entirely potted and is ignition protected.
Marine Module is adaptive to marine flip-seals
produced by: Hubbell Marine or Marinco Marine.
Housing meets marine environmental considerations of
ABYC S-31 standard.
ELCI PROTECTION – WARNING!
 Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter is a
safety device under normal use and it is not
intended to promote activity at elevated risk.
 An ELCI is a device intended to mitigate ground
fault leakage and provide protection of
equipment (i.e. boats).
 Use only within the specified operating
parameters (failure to do so may result in
bodily injury).
 Consult a licensed electrician for assistance on
installation and repairs.
 Do not use this ELCI if it fails to function as
instructed. Never attempt to tamper with this
device.
 This ELCI does not provide protection against
shocks caused by holding both current carrying
conductors.
 This ECLI does not provide protection against
electrical shocks generated by the conductors
supplying power to the device.
Note: primary feed to ELCI is live even when ELCI
is tripped. Unit should be powered down at line
(supply) side breaker before servicing load side of
ELCI.
