AC120 Volt & Amp Meters
Aladdin™ System displays many AC and DC electrical values:
• AC voltage, amperage and frequency values when hooked to shore
power, or when operating from the generator.
• House Battery DC voltage and amperage.
• Solar panel charge voltage and amperage.
The Aladdin ™ System monitors the two "hot" supply lines of the 240 Volt AC system. Voltage,
amperage and frequency values are measured at the transfer switch. After hooking to shore power
check that incoming electrical values are satisfactory. Monitor current consumption when using appli-
ances while hooked to anything less than 50 Amp service. AC values will read "Off" when using the
inverter for AC power.
Use the Aladdin ™ System to avoid low or high voltage operation, or to monitor DC current con-
sumption when dry camping.
NOTE:
When operating from the inverter, use the inverter remote display to monitor AC volt-
age and amperage.
TRANSFER SWITCH
The transfer switch uses electronics to monitor voltage input for high
or low voltage conditions. If the incoming voltage from the generator or
shore power exceeds 138 AC Volts, or if voltage drops below 105 AC
Volts, the transfer switch automatically disconnects the electrical service.
This helps prevent damage to voltage sensitive equipment that can occur.
Surge Protector:
A surge protector mounts to the transfer switch to prevent the
motorhome from receiving a sudden "spike" of incoming voltage.
When hooked to shore power, or operating from the generator, lights on
the surge protector will activate to indicate the surge protector is operat-
ing. If one, or both, indicator lights are inactive, damage to the surge protector
or electrical system may have occurred. Disconnect from shore power, stop
the generator and
do not use the inverter. Replace the surge protector and
have the electrical system inspected by a qualified electrical service techni-
cian.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the transfer switch contacts, do not operate appliances or plug
AC loads into the outlets when hooking to shore power or starting the generator. If
voltage from shore power is below or above acceptable levels, start the generator and
disconnect from shore service until shore power supply voltage becomes stable.
