ELECTRICAL
The energy management and auto generator start systems
work behind the scenes to monitor the power supply
and demand within the coach. The system is designed
to minimize the occurrence of tripped breakers for shore
power and the generator while heavy loads are being
used. The system turns off other loads temporarily while
heavier loads are in use and restores power when heavy
loads are turned back off.
When 50 amp service is available, no action is required;
however, 30 amp service (or less) requires setting the value
of incoming power to be selected.
Auto generator features may vary by coach model and
options. Most AGS systems start the generator if shore
power is unavailable and the HVAC system signals for
air conditioner operation. Many systems will also start
automatically if battery levels reach the preset values.
Energy Management Systems
This article provides an overview of the energy management systems used by Newmar.
Whenever possible, connect coaches equipped with
50 amp shore power cord to 50 amp service, and
connect coaches with 30 amp shore power cords to 30
amp service accordingly. It is the best practice to avoid
using adapters and cheater cord devices.
NOTICE
!
For more information about the energy management
system, refer to the SilverLeaf Coach Management or
Precision Circuits Power Control System documentation
found in Newgle, depending on which system is installed
in the coach.

Inside The Coach
On a diesel pusher coach, the house fuse panel, which
controls most of the components and appliances inside
the coach, is located in the bathroom, in the front overhead
next to the 120 volt breaker panel, or in the rear wardrobe.
This panel contains fuses and breakers that are connected
to the main appliances in the coach, from the refrigerator
and television to the lights in the bedroom and slideouts.
There are also some external components that are fused
in the house fuse panel. For example, the fuses for the
water pump, water heater, security lights, and basement
storage lights may be located in this panel.

Outside The Coach
House battery and disconnect fuses are located in the
compartment with the shore power cord. This fuses control
the battery boost, battery disconnect, keyless entry,
hydronic heat, LP detector, and entrance steps. In this same
location, there are also 12 volt circuit breakers that provide
power to the house fuse panel, slideout motors, power
awnings, and the entry step.
The Freightliner and Spartan chassis fuse panels are
located in the left front baggage compartment under the
driver’s seat.
