ELECTRICAL

50 AMP ENERGY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (EMS)

The 50 Amp Precision Circuits Energy Management

System is currently o

ered as standard or optional

equipment on all coaches not equipped with a SilverLeaf

Coach Management System. Its function is to provide

power management for certain 120 Volt loads and

as a system of energy management to minimize the

overloading and tripping of circuit breakers. The EMS

contains a main distribution panel with a self-contained

control module and a remote display panel, which is

typically located in the dash overhead electrical control

cabinet.

The AGS may be controlled via the ME-AGS or SilverLeaf.
ME-PT2 can be used in conjunction with the Dometic

Duo-Therm kit and Comfort Control Center (CCC II

Thermostat) or KIB L-Panel to connect the t-stat output of

the A/C directly to the AGS. This allows the AGS to start

on demand from the A/C for either heat (heat pump only)

or cool.

1. Follow Comfort Control Center or KIB L-Panel

instructions for proper zones, heat, cool and AGS

settings.

2. The ME-AGS-S will now start on demand from the

Comfort Control Center or KIB L-Panel.

For more information about AGS operation via the

SilverLeaf system, refer the year/model-specific

SilverLeaf Touchscreen Guide in Newgle.

This function must be enabled in order for the AGS

to function properly.

IMPORTANT

The EMS control module automatically senses the

available power being supplied to the coach. The module

determines whether it is connected to a 50 Amp (240

Volt) or the generator. On 120 Volt service, it is unable

to determine if the source is providing 30, 20 or 15 Amp

shore power. Depending on available power, it can

control up to seven loads.
The EMS controls air conditioner loads using low-voltage

switching and other 120 Volt, heavy-load appliances,

such as block heaters, water heating elements, and air

conditioners. The EMS will also control the 2012 Magnum

inverter charge rate or switch to invert depending on the

charging status. The charger will only reduce once it is in

float status.

The current-sensing relay will display the amperage on

each leg. The EMS will start shedding loads and look at

the AC current when it sheds a load, determining when it

has enough current available to turn on the load again.
When the EMS sheds a load, it only looks at one leg to

see how much of a load was shed. For coaches equipped

with the SilverLeaf system, refer to the SilverLeaf

Functional Guide for more information on your EMS.

CONVERTERS

All Newmar coaches are equipped with a converter or

an inverter/converter combination. Converters are used

to transform alternating current power (120 Volt AC) to

direct current power (12 Volt DC). Converters supply the

coach with 12 Volt power to operate systems in the coach

and provide battery charging.

Newmar currently uses three sizes of converters: 45,

60, and 80 Amp models. Previous units may have a 55

or 75 Amp converter or two 45 Amp converters with a

total of 90 Amps available. When replacing a converter,

it is necessary to use the same size converter to ensure

ffi

cient wiring and breakers for the converter’s input

and output ratings.
Possible causes of converter failure:

•

Overheating caused by cooling fan malfunction

or inadequate ventilation causing damage to the

converter

•

Blown fuses

INVERTERS

An inverter changes 12 Volt DC power to 120 Volt AC

power. Coaches with an inverter only typically use it for

powering the entertainment equipment like the TV, DVD,

and Blu-ray players. The inverters used for this purpose

are usually 600 watt to 1000 watt (1000 Watt inverters

may also power a small refrigerator) and do not have

battery charging capability.
