Dimming Circuits—certain circuits within the coach are dimmable. To dim a light down, simply hold
the “off” switch until the light is at the desired level and release the switch. This setting will be
remembered the next time the circuit is turned on. To adjust the light up, simply hold the “on” switch
until the light is at the desired level and release the switch.
•
Timed Cargo Light Feature—when the cargo lights are turned “on,” they will automatically turn off
within 14 minutes to prevent battery run down.
In the event that you have to check fuses, the centralized control panel is located in the third passenger side bay.
The fuses for the different light circuits are located here. The status of a fuse for any circuit can be easily
identified by looking at the circuit number and coordinating the number to the proper listing on the fuse list
chart beside the centralized control panel.
If a circuit is on and the fuse is blown, the indicator light beside that fuse will be red. If the circuit is on and the
fuse is good, the indicator light beside that fuse will be green. If the circuit is off, the indicator light beside that
fuse will not be on.
Ground-Fault-Circuit-Interrupt (GFCI) Receptacles
In the kitchen and bath areas, there are 120 VAC GFCI receptacles (Figure 7-14) which provide greater
protection against inadvertent electrical shocks. These specialized GFCI receptacles
provide both overload and short-circuit protection for the user. The electrical
receptacles located in the slide-out(s) are wired through the kitchen GFCI. The
exterior receptacles are wired through the bathroom GFCI. Consequently, if an
appliance plugged into a slide-out or exterior receptacle is not working, check for a
tripped GFCI in the kitchen or bathroom.
In addition, these receptacles protect the user from ground faults between an
electrically “hot” wire and ground. The GFCI will not reduce the shock hazard if the
short is between a neutral and “hot” wire or two “hot-lead” wires.
The GFCI should be tested at least once a month. The 120 VAC electrical system
must be “on” for the GFCI to be tested. To test the GFCI the reset button needs to
be pushed in fully before starting the test. Push the test button; this will cause the reset
button to pop out which means that the protected circuits have been disconnected. Push the reset button back
in until a “click” is heard—this will reactivate the protected circuit. If the GFCI is working properly, the reset
button will remain in the “in” position.
