DYNASTY 2006 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS - HOUSE — SECTION 8 • 271
Troubleshooting:
• Ensure the Battery Cut-off switch is on and the Master Off is on.
• If a switch is pressed and the green backlighting doesn’t turn on check the fuse located on the ATO fuse
panel in the closet on the Multiplex board. Also check the 10 Amp fuse on the CPU.
• When the switch is pressed and the yellow communication LED does not illuminate check the 5 Amp fuses
on the CPU and the 330 module.
• If the green backlighting turns on and the yellow communication LED illuminates but the item does not
turn on check the fuse for that circuit. Each module is labeled to show the circuit assignments.
FUSES
The 12 Volt DC fuses, located in this distribution panel, service the interior
house lighting, ventilation fans, monitor panel and Aqua Hot. Should a fuse
blow it will be evident by the broken metal strip located in the center of the
fuse. Replacement fuses should be of the same amperage. If a higher rated fuse
is installed it can damage the wiring. Fuse current set points follow much of the
same electrical principle as the 120 Volt AC breakers. Using 12 Volt DC as the
electromotive force can make it more susceptible to outside infl uences, such as
corrosion from weathering or oxidation.
The large variety of applications this voltage can be used in makes it a
diet staple for most of the recreational vehicle and automotive industries. The
danger from shocks with this voltage is minimized, but can still occur. A good
example is when a magnetic fi eld is generated, then collapses when the power
supply is cut. The result is a discharge that can reach tens of thousands of
volts for a short time period. Care should be used when working with this
voltage as current values can be quite high, as in the case of battery cables.
Shorting a battery cable to ground with a battery at a reasonable state of
charge can result in a fi re or serious personal injury from a burn.
BATTERIES - HOUSE
House batteries are designed for use with 12 Volt DC operated lights, appliances and inverters. These are
available in many sizes and types.
Types of House Batteries:
• Liquid Lead Acid (LLA)
• Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
• Gel Cell
NOTE:
Tap water contains minerals which can alter battery chemistry and ruin the battery. Use
only distilled water when refilling the LLA battery.
