Interior
Power Center
Globetrotter models have the power center installed
below the refrigerator� Open the decorative door for
access to 12-volt fuses and 120- volt breakers�
The power center’s converter transforms 120-volt AC
into 12-volt DC� The converter/charging system is
the interior low voltage electrical system that enables
you to use the interior lights, fans, pumps, and 12-
volt appliances, whether operating on self-contained
battery power or 120-volt city power� The 12-volt light
bulbs give off the same light as regular household
bulbs, so that when operating on self-contained battery
power, everything works normally except the 120-volt
convenience outlets and 120-volt appliances� The
converter system is designed to maintain constant
output voltages regardless of the variances that occur
in city power systems�
The converter is energized only when the trailer is
hooked up to external AC power�
To test the converter, observe the following:
•
Confirm 120-volt power is going into converter.
• Disconnect the 12+ wire from the master switch�
• Using a voltmeter, check voltage output between
heavy gauge positive and negative wires coming out
of converter�
• The voltage should be within 13�6 and 14�0 volts�
(The meter of the tester should be calibrated
periodically�)
• If converter is not within these voltages, have it
serviced by a qualified technician or replace it.
One of these wires is not spliced onto a wire of the
same color� It is the backup wire that is yellow in the
cable and black in the harness�
A label on the inside of the converter door lists the
circuits and what each fuse powers�
Inverter
Your Airstream is equipped with a 1000W pure sine
wave inverter that converts 12-volt electricity from your
batteries into 120-volt power to power the TV’s, as well
as, additional labeled 120-volt receptacles� The Inverter
is designed with both under voltage and overvoltage
protection to protect the inverter and the battery bank�
If the inverter senses too high of a voltage being used,
it may shut down� Unplug items that might be using
too much current and a manual reset is required. The
remote display is located in the Galley area� Below are
some of the features�
Display Features

Code (if applicable)
Power Indicator: Lights up green when the inverter is
on • Fault Indicator: Flashes red when an error has
occurred
Shore Indicator: Lights up yellow when AC input is
detected
Low Bat Warning Indicator: Lights up red when the
battery is nearing the end of its charge
Sleep: Lights automatically dim after 30 seconds
NOTE
An operation manual for the inverter has been
provided with your owner’s packet. Their manual
contains information and error codes that should
be reviewed prior to operating.
