When i get back to my slip and reconnect shore power and turn my switchboard switch for shore power A on- volt meter does not move above 12v and after a few seconds tge reverse polarity LED comes on. This has been an intermittent problem for a few months- generally. after a day or so it rights itself and is ok- just wondering if anyone has come across a similar situation please?

How is it wired into your system? For my Freedom 15, I use the ATS for all incoming and sent the output to all my AC circuits, simplest system option 1 in the manual.

Nothing here, Eian. Replaced the original Heart Interface 1600 with an Xantrex Freedom 24 about two years after purchasing Belle-Vie in 2002, which Eddie with Hunter Marine at the time recommended. It has performed well over the years. The original Heart was acting up from time to time, but no similar issues as yours. Sorry.

You might check the 12VDC batteries it charges. A Bad Battery will cause similar problems.
