• The converter is energized only when the trailer is hooked up to
120V AC shore power.
• The power converter is not weather-resistant. It must be protected
from direct contact with water.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
The GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) breaker provides reliable
overload protection, short-circuit protection and protection from ground
faults that might result from contact with a HOT load wire and the ground.
Each GFCI circuit breaker is calibrated to trip with a ground current of 5
milliamperes or more. Help protect your family from the risk of electric
shock by performing the following test each month.
Testing GFCI receptacles:
1. Push the Reset button located on the GFCI receptacle first to assure
normal GFCI operation.
2. Plug a device, such as a night light, with an ON/ OFF switch into the
GFCI receptacle and switch ON.
3. Push the Test button located on the GFCI receptacle. The device
should turn off.
4. Push the Reset button, again. The device should come on again.
5. If the device remains on when the Test button is pushed, the GFCI is
not working properly or has been incorrectly installed (wired wrong).
6. If your GFCI is not working properly, call a qualified, certified
electrician who can assess the situation, rewire the GFCI if
necessary, or replace the unit.
RECEPTACLES
Receptacles powered by 120V AC power are on breakers connected to the
distribution panel and will function much like the receptacles in your home.
Do not connect an appliance or other device that will overload the circuit.
When an appliance such as a dehumidifier, iron, toaster or other device is
drawing high power from an outlet, it may impede the function of lights
(indicated by dimming) and other components in your trailer. Always be
aware of your usage. Shut off appliances that you are not using to increase
power availability for others.
INVERTER
Do not exceed the recommended power supply load on the inverter.
See the inverter operating and maintenance instructions included in your
owner’s packet.
NUCAMP CONTROL PANEL(S)
The nuCamp control panel is located near the main entrance door. On it
you will find the Alde
®
control panel, a tank fill level, and battery charge
level indicator along with master switches to power lights, water pump,
awning and the refrigerator. A second control panel containing switches on
operating various features can be found in the bedroom. Switch buttons
will light up when activated.
One or more receptacles may be powered
by an inverter, if equipped. Inverter
outlets, when tested, will always indicate
an open ground. This is normal. The
input electricity of the inverter is partially
grounded by the negative DC connection
to your battery terminal. It does not need
a true earth ground to function properly.
Inverter Outlets
A GFCI does not protect you from
electrical shock. You will not be protected
from shock when you contact hot and
neutral sides of circuit connections.
Outlet covers must always be installed
while electrical current is present.
WARNING
SAFETY LIGHTS
Your camper is equipped with safety lights and reflectors that comply with federal and state safety
regulations. Never alter the lights or remove the reflectors in any way. Replace defective or damaged
lights and reflectors immediately upon discovery. Not only you but the safety of other folks on the road
depends on you and your safety compliance. Your dealer can provide you with replacement parts.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Interior lights are LED to conserve energy and are powered by 12V DC via the 12V battery(ies) or the
power converter when connected to 120V AC shore power. Defective light fixtures must be replaced with
same type, size and wattage as originally installed. Contact your nuCamp dealer to acquire those parts.
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation of the stereo, speakers, and the TV. All
operating instructions, along with any equipped remote controls of each component are included in
the Owner’s Packet with your camper.
CABLE/SATELLITE CONNECTION
A cable connection inlet is provided on the exterior of your camper to allow connection to campground
cable service. The cable supplies a connection to your TV for viewing purposes. Select the correct input
source on the TV to watch cable TV.
