Dometic 9610002998 SmartStart III Single Phase Soft Starter for 115V GT6 Marine Air Conditioner

The Dometic SmartStart III is a single-phase soft starter designed specifically for 115V GT6 marine air conditioning systems. It protects your vessel's electronics and onboard electrical system by significantly reducing the high current spikes that occur each time the air conditioner compressor kicks on — a common cause of nuisance tripping and power outages at the dock.

With an IP65-rated water-resistant enclosure, the SmartStart III is built to handle the demanding marine environment. Its compact design makes it straightforward to install within the air conditioning circuit, delivering immediate protection without complex wiring. A small LED indicator provides at-a-glance status and communicates fault conditions through distinct flash patterns, so troubleshooting is fast and simple.

Key Features:

• Reduces startup amps by up to 65%, dramatically cutting inrush current when the compressor starts
• Water-resistant IP65 enclosure — built for the marine environment
• Prevents voltage spikes when starting, helping to avoid power outages and tripped breakers
• Enables problem-free air conditioner start-up at marinas and moorings with low-quality or limited electrical circuit protection
• Compatible with Dometic GT6 marine air conditioning units operating on 115V single-phase power
• LED indicator signals normal operation and communicates fault codes via flash patterns

The SmartStart III is the OEM soft starter solution from Dometic, engineered to work seamlessly with their GT6 marine AC lineup. It is an essential upgrade for boaters who frequently rely on shore power at marinas with undersized pedestals, or who want to reduce electrical stress on their vessel's wiring and generator.
