PRESIDIO
When connected to 50 Amp - 240 Volt AC service or generator service, the Energy
Management features of the unit are disabled and the unit switches all controlled loads "ON"
and will not shed loads. In either of these modes if the load usage should require more then is
present, you will trip the supply line breaker. If connected to a 50 Amp - 240 Volt AC a
signal is sent to the display causing the load meter to go blank, the 50 Amp service indicator to
light, and all power status indicator to light. If the Generator is running, the energy
management feature is disabled and a signal is sent to the display causing the load meter to
display actual load current, the GEN SET service indicator to light, and all power status
indicator to light.
NOTE: There is a two minute minimum delay period after a load is shed before the load will be
turned back on again. This is to prevent the air conditioners from turning on with a head of
pressure.
A 12 Volt DC Fuse Panel is located next to the 120 Volt Breaker Panel. The panel contains
circuits with replaceable fuses for protection of the motorhome 12 Volt lines. If any line is loaded
beyond the capacity of its fuse, the fuse will “blow”. A portion of the 12 Volt load on the line must
be turned off to reduce the total load on the line to a level below the capacity of the fuse.
Replace the fuse with the same size fuse. DO NOT replace with larger fuse than
indicated.
If the reduction of load on the line does not stop the “blowing” of the fuse, there may be a “short”
somewhere along the 12 Volt line, or at a non-fused 12 Volt component on the line. Check the
12 Volt line and any components along the line. Locate the “short” and take necessary steps to
repair it. If you cannot locate the problem, have a qualified electrician check it out.
It is a good idea to keep additional fuses on hand in the motorhome. Replacement fuses are
available at most service stations, hardware and automotive supply stores. Remember that the
replacement fuse must be the same amperage rating as the original.
