ELECTRICAL
Operation Mode
This Screen gives the general information about Load
Status.
The First Line shows the Status of the Magnum Battery
Charger. It will either be: Bat Charge Normal, under
complete Magnum Control, or Bat Charge Reduced, which
means an Owner activated appliance would have caused
a circuit breaker to trip but instead the Bat Charger Rate
has been reduced. Reducing the Battery will be the 1st
thing that PCS will attempt in order to reduce overall RV
Power. Battery Charge may not be reduced if the Battery
is Low, or the Magnum Inverter is on Line 1 Circuit Breaker
and the Overload is on Line 2 only.
•
The Second Line show the Status of the Magnum
Inverter. It will either show Inverter Normal, under
complete Magnum Control.
•
Inverter Assist, PCS is requesting that the Magnum
Inverter assist by temporarily generating 120VAC
power from the batteries.
•
Inverter Assist 12A, the end of this line shows
the amount of 120VAC current that the Inverter is
supplying.
•
Inverter Assist Deny, means the Magnum Inverter
can not Assist at this time, for one of many Magnum
Inverter reasons, i.e. Battery Low, Over-current, etc.
(See Magnum Owner’s Manual).
•
The Last Line shows if any Loads have been Shed
to prevent circuit breaker tripping. Load(s) Shed = 7,
depending on the model RV, there can be up to 7
Loads that PCS can control.
Service Type
•
No Service: PCS has 12V Battery power to run
the electronics, however, it does not sense any
120/240VAC Power.
•
50-amp Service: PCS senses 240/208VAC between
L1 and L2 to determine this mode of operation.
PCS controls the loads so that the current does not
exceed L1 limit of 50amps, L2 limit of 50amps, and a
combined limit of 100 amps.
•
30-amp Service: PCS senses 0VAC between L1 and
L2. PCS adds the current of the two sensors and
controls the loads so that the current does not exceed
30 amps.
•
20-amp Service: PCS senses 0VAC between L1 and
L2, and the owner selects 20A on the Central Monitor
Panel. PCS adds the current of the two sensors and
controls the loads so that the current does not exceed
20 amps.
•
Generator: PCS senses power to the Gen Hour Meter
to determine this mode of operation. PCS controls
the loads so that the current does not exceed the
ratings of the installed Generator, for example L1 limit
of 35amps, L2 limit of 35amps, and a combined Limit
of 63 amps.
Load Status
Where the last Screen gave general information about
all the controlled Loads, these next two screens gives
detailed information about the status of each Load under
PCS control.
Water Heater OFF 11A, indicates that the Water Heater
power has been temporarily turned OFF, and the current
at the instant the Water Heater was turned o
ff
last was 11
amps.
Power Management
When the current exceeds the limit, because possibly
the owner has turned on the Microwave, the PCS will
independently limit the current on each line by performing
the following in order: Reduce Magnum Battery Charge
Rate, Inverter Assist, Load Shed. (If the Magnum Inverter is
wired to the opposite leg, only Load Shedding will occur.
As each appliance is shed, PCS learns the current for that
specific appliance, to ensure that there will be su
ffi
cient
headroom to turn the appliance back on and be under the
current limit. To ensure that Air Conditioner compressor
pressure is bled, and to reduce quick cycling, there is a 2
minute delay from the time a Load has been shed, to the
time power is restored.
Once the total RV current has dropped, for example
because an owner operated appliance has been
turned o
ff
, the PCS will reverse the above procedure,
returning power to appliances whose operation was not
immediately critical.
Line Status
PCS not only monitors total RV current but also has two
built in Volt Meters, and monitors the voltage on each of
the Lines.
L1 121Volts 15Amps, indicates that Line 1 has 121 Voltsrms
and is presently drawing 15 amps.
! Brown Out !, if the display indicates Brown Out, the
Display will hold the lowest captured voltage that may
have occurred while the RV owner is away. Pressing any
switch clears the display, and resumes displaying the
present readings.
Wiring Status
Similar to an Outlet Tester that is plugged into outlets in
your home to test for proper wiring, PCS monitors the
wiring status of the Camp Ground Outlets you may plug
into.
WARNING, IF THE DISPLAY EVER INDICATES “Wiring
Status Error,” IMMEDIATELY, unplug the RV from the outlet,
and have the outlet inspected by a qualified technician.
The other lines on the Display to the right indicate proper
wiring for 50A Service. For 30A Service L1=L2.
