If other appliances are turned on, the total current draw
could exceed 30 Amps. This would normally cause the
circuit breaker to open.
The Climate Control System however, monitors the total
current drawn by all the loads in the coach. If the total
draw exceeds 30 Amps, it will begin to turn off the air
conditioners to keep the total draw to less than 30 Amps.
The turn off sequence will be as follows:
1. Rear (A/C2) compressor (if running)
2. Front (A/C1) compressor (if running)
3. Rear (A/C2) Fan
4. Front (A/C1) Fan
When this happens, the
indicator/s on the
thermostat will be lit continuously to indicate the over-
load. When the total current draw drops below the point
that will allow the air conditioners to return to normal
operation, the indicator will go out and they will be
brought back on in the reverse sequence.
When a compressor is shut off, it will always be held off
for at least two minutes, to prevent it from starting into a
high load. If there is enough current to operate an air
conditioner, but it hasn’t been off for the required two
minutes, the
indicator will blink. When the two
minutes has passed, the compressor will come back on
and the indicator will be out.
If the current remains above the level that would allow
operation of both air conditioners for more than a half
hour, the system will switch compressors and operate the
other one until it’s thermostat is satisfied, or a half hour
passes. If either air conditioner is turned off, the system
will continue to work by shedding the remaining air
conditioner.
In actual use, all this automatic “
” will be hardly
noticeable to you. It’s benefit is that you will
have
the
amount of cooling and comfort available to
you without tripping circuit breakers.
As an example of how the system works, let’s say that the
air conditioners are running; you decide to make coffee in
the electric coffee pot and toast in the toaster at the same
time. The total current will exceed 30 Amps. The system
senses this current and begins
the air
conditioner compressors. It will first turn off the rear air
(A/C2) conditioner compressor.
If it was not running,
then the front (A/C1) compressor will be turned off.
When either the coffee maker or the toaster go off, which
drops the current to a level that will allow the air
conditioner to come back on, and at least two minutes
have past since the air was turned off, it will be turned
back on again. This process goes on continuously.
Operation of the system from the generator is similar to
operating from shore power. The controls operate in the
same manner.
However, the generator is capable of
operating both air conditioners as well as a few
appliances at the same time.
Therefore, when the
generator is running, the front (A/C1) air conditioner is
operated directly from the generator and it will not be
shed.
The rear (A/C2) air conditioner will still be
controlled as if it were operating from shore power.
The generator is sized to operate both air conditioners,
but it will not start them at the same time. To prevent this
from happening, there are two built-in functions. First,
when the power from the generator is first applied to the
system, the power is delayed to the front (A/C1) air
conditioner by about 30 seconds to let the generator
warm up.
After the first unit is turned on, there is
approximately another minute delay before the rear
(AC2) unit is turned on. This lets the generator get the
front (A/C1) unit running normally before trying to start
the rear (A/C2) unit.
To prevent the two compressors from ever starting at the
same time, the system always provides at least ten
seconds between compressor starts, regardless of how it
happens.
