Class A
The approximate fluid levels are measured by
electronic sensors on the sides of the tanks. There
is generally more fluid in a tank than indicated on
the monitor panel.
For example, if the fluid level is 1-2” below
the FULL sensor, the monitor will show the level
to be only 2/3 even though the tank is nearly full.
If the fluid level is below the 1/3 sensor, the
monitor will register an empty tank because the
fluid is lower than the 1/3 sensors. There may
actually be some fluid left in the tank. However,
when the indicator reads FULL, the tank is
actually full.
Tank Capacities
See “Tank Capacities” in Section 1 of this
manual.
Propane Gas Level
Press and hold the “Levels Test” switch to
show approximate propane tank level.
The propane level is registered by a sending
unit on the tank. The gauge mounted on the side
of the tank will give a more accurate indication of
actual tank level if needed.
Battery Charge Meter
Push the “Levels Test” button to check the
level of charge (voltage) in the 12-volt coach
battery. The colored segments (red, yellow and
green) will light from the bottom up to the
amount of charge the battery contains.
•
Green - good or adequate charge.
•
Yellow - marginal charge.
•
Red - battery needs charging before use.
To get an accurate reading;
1. Both the chassis engine and the auxiliary
generator engine must be shut off and 110 Vac
shoreline unplugged.
2. An interior light should be turned on to
provide a small load which draws off the
battery surface charge.
Water Pump Switch
When use of the self-contained water system
is desired, turn the “Water Pump” switch on. The
“Pump On” light will illuminate when the pump
switch is on and the system is operable. Water
will be available as soon as a faucet is opened.
Refer to “Water Pump” for additional
information on the water pump and initial start-
up. (There is also a pump switch in the utility
compartment on the outside of the coach).
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (EMS)
(models with 2 roof air units only)
The Energy Management System (EMS)
monitors the electrical usage of the appliances
and equipment in the coach and distributes the
electrical loads to avoid nuisance tripping of the
shoreline circuit breaker. This system works
together with the energy efficient roof air
conditioners to allow you to run both roof units at
the same time on a 30-amp shoreline connection.
