TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO® Chapter 7 ELECTRICAL FEATURES
Automatic Transfer Switch
Your Allegro may be equipped with an automatic transfer switch. When the generator is turned “on,” this switch
automatically transfers from external power to generator power. There will be a slight delay between the start of the
generator and the electrical connection being made—this delay allows the generator to reach normal operating
speed without needing to supply a required load. When the Allegro is plugged into an external source, a “click” will
be heard in the transfer switch box—this is a normal function and merely indicates that the unit is changing over from
an external power source to the generator.
Resettable Circuit Breakers
The resettable circuit breakers (Figure 7-10) are located in the external
storage compartment just forward of the entrance door. When the circuit
breakers are shut down or electrically tripped, they must be manually reset.
These breakers protect the slide-outs, the AC ignition, the electric step, the
30-amp ignition system, and the 12 VDC disconnect system. As needed,
manually reset the circuit breaker or breakers as shown in the accompanying
figure.
Be careful when working around these connections as an accidental
electrical short to ground (i.e., momentarily connecting the “positive” or
“hot” terminal to any part of the chassis) can be hazardous and harmful.
Fuse Blocks
Some of the electrical circuitry within the motor home is protected by various
fusing systems. Some of these fuse blocks (Figure 7-11) are immediately
accessible from the driver’s side underneath the dashboard.
The electrical circuits protected by the under-dash fuse block include: headlights,
panel light for dashboard, tail lights, optional jacks, turn signals, cruise control,
engine computer, accessory fuses, heater and dash air conditioning. Additionally,
there is another chassis fuse panel, which works in conjunction with the chassis
fuse panel and provides comparable protection for the above-listed circuits.
Located beneath the access panel on the dashboard (see Figure 7-12) are two
additional fuse panels; these panels protect the following electrical systems:
mirrors, optional satellite jacks, camera, optional power windows, dash trim,
lighter, map light, optional power seats, and radio.
Should there be any electrical failure of these components or systems, the first troubleshooting procedure
should be to check the fuses and have available replacements to replace any blown fuses, as may be warranted.
