Coaches equipped with the ProAir 12 VDC climate control system will
switch between cooling and heating without the need to be connected
to shore power or an LP generator, provided sufficient battery capacity
exists to power the equipment�
HVAC “Auto” functions require a constant supply of DC battery voltage
and / or diesel fuel to function without interruption� Do not leave
children or pets in the vehicle unattended�
NOTE
Coaches equipped with the 125 VAC roof air conditioning
unit will only function when the vehicle is plugged into a
30 amp shore power
connection, or while the Onan LP
generator is operating (if equipped). The inverter alone will
not provide sufficient amperage to power the 125 VAC roof
air conditioner. In order for the air conditioning to run, the
temperature set point must be at least 2° below the ambient
temperature reading.
NOTE
The diesel fueled ESPAR heater will always operate,
provided sufficient 12 VDC power is present. Monitor
the diesel fuel tank level to ensure you have a sufficient
fuel supply. In order for the ESPAR furnace to run, the
temperature set point must be at least 2° above the ambient
temperature reading.
WARNING
Monitor battery bank and diesel fuel level status anytime the
HVAC system is set to “Auto”. Do not leave small children
or pets in an unattended vehicle with HVAC set to “Auto”.
Should the system shut down for any reason it could result
in serious physical injuries and /or death.

ELECTRICAL PAGE
The “Electrical” page provides control of manual generator starting and
stopping, Automatic Generator Start (AGS), and the inverter. On
models not equipped with AGS, the manual generator start and stop
function is located on the “Home” page, and the inverter control is
located on the “Auxilliary” page�
The “Electrical” page displays battery state of charge status for both
the House and Chassis battery banks� The status color will change
from green to red if the state of charge drops to an unacceptable level�
A fully charged 12-volt battery bank should read approximately 13�6
to 13�8 volts� A battery displaying voltage below 12�6 volts indicates a
low state of charge� When the coach’s batteries are being charged, the
voltage display may indicate as high as 14�3 volts, which is normal�
Your coach’s electrical system will automatically switch between the
chassis’ 3�0 diesel engine powered alternator, shore power, the optional
Onan LP generator, and the battery bank� While you are driving, the
chassis 3�0 diesel engine will charge both the chassis and house battery
banks� With the engine turned off, power will automatically switch to the
house battery bank, unless the coach’s optional Onan LP generator is
started, or it is plugged into shore power�
To power the coach through the optional Onan LP generator, touch
and hold the generator’s “Start” icon button until the generator cranks
and starts up� To stop the generator simply touch the “Stop” icon
button� The display will indicate “Running” or “Stopped”� The display
also provides the total number of operating hours on the generator�
See the LP GENERATOR section below for further instructions on the
operation of the optional Onan LP Generator�
The “AGS Disabled” icon will display anytime AGS is not active� Tap
the icon to enable AGS� A pop-up dialog box will appear which will
