INFORMATION:
References to additional information
regarding operation of the motorhome and/or
its components found in additional sources,
other than the Owner’s Manual. Also refers
to the WARRANTY INFORMATION FILE,
found within the Warranty Information Box
in the motorhome.
TIP:
Tips contain information, helpful hints
and/or suggestion for ease of operation of the
motorhome or its components.
gloSSary of termS
Air Compressor -
Pumps air to and builds
air pressure in an air system.
Air Dryer -
Cools, filters and dries the air
delivered by an air compressor.
Air Governor - Controls the operation of
the air compressor by constantly monitoring
air pressure in the supply tank of the air
system. The air governor initiates the unload
cycle when the cut-out pressure is reached.
Alternating Current (AC) -
A current
that varies periodically in magnitude
and direction. A battery does not deliver
alternating current. Also referred to as
shore power, utility power, inverter power,
generator power, etc.
Ampere (Amp) - The unit of measure
of electron flow rate of current through a
circuit.
Ampere-hour (Amp-hr. AH) -
A unit of
measure for a battery electrical storage
capacity, obtained by multiplying the current
in amperes by the time in hours of discharge.
Example:
A battery which delivers 5
amperes for 20 hours, delivers 5 amperes
times 20 hours, or 100 Amp-Hr. of capacity.
ANSI -
American National Standards
Institute.
ASTM -
American Society for Testing and
Materials.
Black Water - Term associated with the
sewage holding tank. The toilet drains
directly into this tank.
CCA -
Cold Cranking Amperage is the
amount of current a battery can deliver for
30 seconds at 0° F without dropping below a
specified voltage, usually 10.5 Volts DC.
Chassis Battery -
Powers chassis 12 Volt
accessories and starts engine.
Circuit -
An electric circuit is the path of
an electric current. A closed circuit has a
complete path. An open circuit has a broken
or disconnected path.
City Water -
A term associated with
the water supply that you hook-up to at
campgrounds. It is called city water because
water is pulled from a central source (like in
a city) and not the fresh water tank.
Compressor Load Cycle - The time during
which the air compressor is building air
pressure in an air system.
Compressor Unload Cycle - The time
during which the air compressor is idling
and is not building air pressure in an air
system.
Curbside - This refers to the side of the
motorhome which faces the curb when it
is parked. Often called the door side or the
passenger side.
Current -
The rate of flow of electricity
or the movement rate of electrons along a
conductor. It is comparable to the flow of
a stream of water. The unit of measure for
current is the ampere.
Cut-In Pressure - The pressure level in the
air system supply tank which tiggers the
compressor load cycle.
Cut-Out Pressure - The pressure level in
the air system supply tank which triggers the
compressor unload cycle.
Cycle - In a battery, one discharge plus one
recharge equals one cycle.
