6. If the GFCI did not trip, do not use. Call a qualified electrician to service or replace the
receptacle. The ground fault protection is no longer working and the GFCI may not be
working properly.
7. To restore power after tripping, press in the RESET button. It must remain in. (If an indicator
light is furnished, it will be off.)
12-Volt DC (Direct Current) System
NOTE: The motorhome master battery switch MUST be on before any 12 volt device will
operate.
Incorporated in your load center is a converter which transforms 120-volt AC energy into 12-volt
DC energy to supply your motorhome. When 120-volt AC power is supplied to the power center
through the main circuit breaker in "ON" position, the converter will produce 12-volt DC power to
the motorhome as long as the auxiliary battery is properly connected.
Electric components are sensitive to heat and a converter will produce heat. Ventilation is required
for proper operation. Also, a fan is built into the converter to assist air movement and temperature
control. If normal ventilation is obstructed and the fan is not able to control the temperature, a
protective "Thermal Breaker" will trip the 120-volt AC power to the converter. After the
compartment cools down, the breaker will reset automatically and 12-volt power will be restored
through the converter.
Replaceable fuses are used to protect the 12-volt components. Blowing fuses continuously
indicates the overloading of a circuit or a "shorted circuit." If fuses continue to blow, contact your
dealer for assistance.
A separate 12-volt fuse panel supplies power to your chassis. See chassis manual for assistance.
When 120 volt power is supplied to the converter through direct connection at the campsite, the
converter will supply 12 volt DC power to the auxiliary battery automatically.
The auxiliary battery will also receive a charge from the alternator when the engine is running.
