LED STATUS INDICATOR
The multicolor LED indicates the operating status of the
controller. A color-coded label is included on the cover
of the controller explaining the status LED’s indications.

of the system. The sequence of the flash also changes
depending on the operation of the controller at that time.

The C-Series controller (all models) has one multicolor
LED status indicator and one reset button.
LED STATUS INDICATOR
The multicolor LED on the base unit, or the optional
CM faceplate or CM/R remote, indicates the operating
status of the controller. A color-coded label is included
on the cover of the controller explaining the status LED’s
indications.
1. When in Charge Control mode, the LED will be green.
2. When in Load Control mode, the LED will be red.
3. When an Error Condition exists or the load has
disconnected, the LED will be orange.
4. When battery equalization is in process, the LED
alternates between red and green.
The green and red color of the LED only indicates the
particular operating mode and the battery voltage
level. It does not indicate whether the charging
source is functioning properly.

This article provides an overview of the transfer switch and the integrated surge protector.
The transfer switch allows your coach to be powered
by more than one power source, while only allowing
one active power source connection at a time. When
the generator is turned on, this switch automatically
transfers to generator power.
Surge protection was used on select coaches to protect
the coach from power surges during storms and poor
shore power conditions from the incoming shore
power connection. Today, most transfer switches have
integrated surge protection.
There will be a slight delay between the start of the
generator and the electrical connection. This delay
allows the generator to reach normal operating speed
without needing to supply a required load. When the
unit is plugged into shore power, an audible click will be
heard in the transfer switch box. The sound is normal
and indicates that the relay inside the transfer switch is
engaging the outside power source.
Transfer Switches and Surge Protectors
Product(s): This information is associated with more than one product.
Refer to Newgle for more information about the product(s) offered for
your coach’s model year.
Due to the risk of electrical shock, service should
be performed by a qualified electrican or authorized
service technician. The electrical system may have
multiple 120/240 volt power sources. All power
sources must be turned off, and any auto generator
start features must be disabled prior to servicing.
WARNING
!
After market surge protection placed at the shore power
supply source is an optional product, which provides an
increased layer of surge protection. However, it is not
required or installed by Newmar.
