Most campgrounds are equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker at the receptacle. This protects the park’s
wiring, as well as the power cord on your vehicle, from electrical damage. If electrical power fails, contact
the park attendants and have them check the fuse or breaker for your supply receptacle.
After disconnecting the power cord, roll it up and neatly replace it in the storage compartment.
POWER CENTER
The power converter changes 110-volt AC current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-volt equipment in the motor home.
Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged for use by items, which require 110-volt
current, such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in AC mode, the microwave oven,
etc.
Current drawn from the coach batteries passes through the power center unchanged,
although it is routed through a series of protective fuses located on the power panel.
The power panel is located in a lower cabinet face in the galley or in the living area. The power panel
contains the coach electrical system 110-volt circuit breakers and 12-volt fuses.
WARNING
Do not store anything around or on top of the converter, or in front of the cover. The converter
generates heat while operating, and needs unrestricted air flow for proper cooling.
Converter Charger
The converter charges coach batteries while 110-volt external power is connected. The converter will
automatically “sense” the condition of the RV battery. If it is below “full charge”, the Charging Section will
start charging the battery.
If the coach batteries have been extremely discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively high amperage
rate. If they are only slightly discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage rate. The rate of charge will
decrease as the batteries reach “full charge”. Active charging will not resume until batteries again fall below
“full charge”. The converter will not overcharge the batteries. If your storage battery does not charge as
described above, it is possible the battery is defective.
Thermal Breaker
A protective thermal breaker will “break” the 110-volt AC power to the converter section of Power Center if
the power converter becomes overheated. This can result from operating above its maximum limit for an
extended period of time or by obstruction of ventilation to unit.
NOTE: Power converter section will automatically route 12-volt lights and motors to battery power in this event.
The thermal breaker will reset itself after a period of time and the lights and motors will again resume
operation from power converter section. If the bre`aker trips again shortly after reset, take immediate steps
to correct cause of overheating. A portion of RV 12-volt load (lights or motors or both) should be turned off
to reduce total load. Also, inspect power converter section to make sure ventilation is not obstructed.
NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt DC current to 110-Volt AC.
If your coach is equipped with an inverter, the converter does not function while the inverter is being used.
