operation is different depending whether the installed touch

screen panel has physical switch buttons on its front or not.

For touch panels without front switch buttons, pairing is

accomplished by pressing and holding the bathroom fan

switch. Some systems may have a separate pairing switch

located in an overhead compartment near the touch panel.

For pairing and additional multiplex information and

operational details, refer to the TMC Class B Supplement

or the multiplex system manufacturer’s owner’s manuals

available on-line through your TMC Owners Resource

account. Additional information is also included with your

TMC Owner’s Packet and through how-to videos, available

on TMC’s YouTube site:

NOTE: Most multiplex systems offer remote control
via a smart phone app. Refer to the manufacturer’s
information included in your Owner’s Packet.

Monitoring Battery Condition

The charge condition of the auxiliary and chassis batteries can

be checked with the Battery Condition Monitor, located on

the Energy Center menu of the Multiplex Panel.

TO OPERATE:

1. Turn ON the Multiplex Panel.
2. Select the Energy Center menu (along the left side of the

screen).

3. The condition of the auxiliary and chassis batteries is

displayed in DC voltage.

Auxiliary Battery(ies)

• Do not store items in the battery compartment or

near the battery(ies) that might come in contact with
the battery terminals. This could cause an electrical
short circuit, drain the battery, cause a spark, or
ignite combustible materials.

•

Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the

batteries as the hydrogen gas they create may ignite.

• Do not connect a booster battery or other power

source that outputs more than 14.2 volts DC to the
motorhome batteries.

• Use adequate ventilation when charging or using

batteries in an enclosed space.

• Remove metal jewelry and always wear eye protection

when working around batteries.

• Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into

contact with skin, eyes, fabric or painted surfaces.
Electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution that could cause
serious personal injury or property damage.

• If your hands, eyes, clothes or the painted surface of

your motorhome are exposed to electrolyte, flush the

exposed area thoroughly with water.

•

If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush them

thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention.

WARNING

Unless your motorhome is equipped with the optional Re(li)

able Lithium Battery Power System, your motorhome is sup-

plied with lead-acid, deep-cycle type storage battery(ies), similar

to the batteries found in recreational boats and golf carts. Deep

cycle batteries are designed to be less susceptible to internal

damage when operated in cycles of near depletion (discharge)

and full recharge. Depending upon the features installed, the

motorhome may be supplied with more than one auxiliary

battery. Auxiliary batteries are typically located underneath the

motorhome, secured and protected by brackets.

NOTES:

• Use the multiplex display panel to check the con-

dition of the auxiliary battery(ies). A fully charged
lead-acid battery will read 12.7 volts DC. A
lead-acid battery is considered discharged at
11.8 volts DC by electronic standards.

• When voltage drops below these levels, perma-

nent damage may occur. Due to their large energy
storage capacity and depending on the rate of de-
pletion, it may take up to 24 hours for a lead-acid
battery to fully recharge.

NOTE: This battery condition monitor is designed
for standard chassis and house batteries (lead-acid,
AGM type). Refer to the Re(li)ableTM Battery Sys-
tem section for lithium battery monitoring.
