BI-DIRECTIONAL ISOLATOR RELAY DELAY (BIRD)
Current gas coaches with 30 Amp electrical service, as well as some
older diesel coaches, use an Intellitec Bi-Directional Isolator Relay
Delay (BIRD) with a separate solenoid. The BIRD monitors both the
chassis and house battery and is the only place in the coach where
they both merge. The BIRD only functions when the engine or
generator is running or when the coach is connected to shore power.

page in Newgle.
BATTERY ISOLATION MANAGER (BIM)
All current Dutch Star, Ventana, and Ventana LE diesel coaches, as
well as gas coaches with 50 Amp electrical service, use a Precision
Circuits all-in-one Battery Isolation Manager (BIM). The BIM monitors
both the chassis and house battery and is the only place in the coach
where they both merge. The BIM only functions when the engine or
generator is running or when the coach is connected to shore power.

Newgle.
CHARGE BRIDGE SOLENOID
All current model New Aire, Mountain Aire, London Aire, Essex, and
King Aire coaches use Silverleaf, a computerized coach
management system.
One of its many functions is to control the battery charging through
the Charge Bridge Solenoid. The TM102 module monitors the
battery state and senses the house and chassis battery voltage.
When the parameters are met, the TM102 module activates the
solenoid, causing it to bridge or connect the chassis and house
battery banks.
For more information on your coach's TM102 module, refer to the
SilverLeaf Functional Guide in Newgle.
