Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)
Your motor home is equipped with an Automatic Transfer Switch with built in reverse polar-
ity protection. The ATS is microprocessor controlled and will automatically detect which
power source is being used (generator or shore power) and allow power from that connec-
tion only. You will not have to plug and unplug power to the coach if you decide to run the
generator.
If you plug into shore power, the ATS will pass power to the motor home. If the generator
is started, it will override the shore power input (called generator dominant) and supply the
RV with electrical power from the generator. When the generator is shut down, shore power
is restored.
There may be a slight flicker of the lights when the ATS changes over from one to the other,
but there is no real interruption of power.
The ATS will disconnect from shore power completely if the power coming in is not high
enough quality (i.e. either low/high voltage, or low/high frequency).
When the generator is operating, it powers the inverter/charger which in turn functions as a
multi-stage battery charger to charge the house auxiliary and chassis batteries.
Refer to and follow safety information found in the manufacturer’s troubleshooting guide
found in your warranty packet.
™
NOTE: The generator requires 12-volt power from the house auxiliary bat-
teries to start, and draws fuel to operate from the chassis fuel tank. If the fuel
level in the chassis fuel tank drops to or below ¼ full, the generator will shut
“off” and cannot be re-started until the fuel tank is filled to above ¼ full. Use
the prime function to clear air from the fuel lines.
dened, it isolates both batteries. When batteries have reached a float charge state for (1) hour,
the batteries are isolated to prevent overcharging. It will reconnect if either battery drops to
approximately 80% charge and the other is being charged. If batteries are not being charged
they will be isolated to prevent an electrical draw in one system from depleting the other
battery.
The “Battery Boost” switch is a manual override of the Battery Isolation
Manager. It can be used in an emergency (when chassis or house batteries are
discharged) to start the chassis engine or the generator.
To operate, press and hold the Battery Boost start switch located on the driv-
er’s left side console. While the battery boost switch is pressed, use the igni-
tion key to start the chassis engine or the generator switch to start the genera-
tor. Release the battery boost switch once the engine or generator has started.
If your chassis and house batteries are too discharged to start the engine or generator with
this method, they need to be recharged with the on-board inverter/charger or by connecting
the motor home to shore power.
120-Volt Circuit Breakers
The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring
and components from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short
circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will “trip” preventing the flow
of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut off the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter, etc.)
and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After it cools down,
reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and then back to the “on” position. If the
circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical problem
diagnosed and repaired.
