Charging via Generator
The first step is making sure the battery disconnect
switch is on� All generator functions are controlled
via touchscreen input at the Multiplex panel� There
are a few options for charging the battery using the
generator, the simplest of which is to select BATTERY
TOP OFF from the home screen of the Multiplex panel�
Selecting the battery top-off icon starts the generator
and runs it until the battery reaches a 95% Start
of Charge� For additional information on generator
operation and charging using the generator, see
Generator on page 5-16�
NOTE
The system will only allow the generator to run
until the battery reaches a 95% SOC to avoid
running the generator indefinitely.
Charging via Alternator
The first step is making sure the battery disconnect
switch is on� The vehicle alternator will provide a
charge to the house battery� All switching is handled
automatically so one need only drive the coach to
provide a charge� Charge times will vary depending on
current SOC and environmental factors�
Charging via Solar Power
The solar charging system is primarily used to help
maintain a charge between shoreline or alternator
charging� The solar system is automated and does
not require input from the user� To view solar power
information select the Go Power icon from the Multiplex
electrical screen� The battery disconnect switch will
need to be in the on position for the system to accept a
charge from the solar panel�
The solar panels will not provide any charge to the
batteries if the battery disconnect switch is off�
NOTE
The solar panel and charge controller are designed
to help maintain a battery charge, and are limited
in their ability to provide a charge to the battery.
Additionally, the solar panel will not provide any
charge to the batteries if the battery disconnect
switch is off.
