■ FIREFLY SYSTEM MULTIPLEX
CONTROLS
The American Coach Patriot is equipped with a Firefly Integrations
system of functional control modules and touch-control user interfaces,
which enable you to easily: control and monitor power distribution
and sources; interior and exterior lighting; Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC); and, monitor tank levels and systems status.
The Firefly system forms the hardware backbone of a dedicated
Control Area Network (CAN), which operates on the industry standard
RV-C communications protocol� The majority of your coach’s house
electrical and electronics equipment are seamlessly integrated
into the Firefly system, which provides for simplicity of operations,
convenience, and reliability�
Depending on the model, your coach is equipped with up to three
touch-control interface displays, which are located in the galley,
dashboard, and rear bedroom areas of the vehicle� The master
interface is prominently located on the passenger side of the coach
directly adjacent to the side sliding door and galley area� This touch-
control provides full access to all system controls and features, to
include tank status monitoring�
To activate the Firefly interface, and to provide power to the 12 VDC
equipment in your coach, you must first turn on power to the main
display by pressing the “Battery” button / switch directly below the
main interface� On some models, this will be a red LED illuminated
rocker style switch�
