maintenance information in your InfoCase.
Charging Section
The inverter/charger charges Pure
3
DC battery
while 120-volt external power is connected. The
inverter/charger will automatically “sense” the
condition of the battery. A secondary engine
alternator will charge the Pure
3
DC battery while
the vehicle is running. If it is below “full charge”,
the Charging Section will start charging the
battery.
If the Pure
3
DC battery has been extremely
discharged, it will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If it is only slightly
discharged, it will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the
battery reaches “full charge”. If your battery does
not charge as described above, it is possible the
battery is defective.
Protection Modes
Over Temperature: In the event of an over
temperature condition the power converter will
be inhibited until it has cooled off and then
restarts automatically. This is indicated by the
Status LED blinking red at a five second interval.
In very high ambient temperatures or poor
ventilation, it is possible for the non-automatic
reset thermal protection to activate. If this occurs,
the DC power should be disconnected and
reconnected once the power converter has cooled
off.
Over Voltage: Over voltage protection
activates in the event of a regulation malfunction.
The power converter is inhibited until DC power
is recycled. This condition is indicated by the
Status LED flashing red. If over voltage
protection activation events persist, the factory
should be consulted.
Over Current: Activates in the event of a
current regulation or current limit malfunction
and inhibits the power converter until the over
current condition is removed. If over current
protection activation events persist, the factory
should be consulted.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS – HOUSE
120-VOLT AC
The breaker panel protects all 120-volt
components in the motorhome from either an
overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing
damage to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
“Off” and back to “On”. If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.
NOTE: Typical view of breaker panel. Breaker
arrangement may vary according to
appliance and equipment options. Fuses
and breakers are labeled on panel.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS –
HOUSE 120-VOLT AC
A number of standard household electrical
outlets are provided throughout the motorhome
for connecting small appliances such as
televisions, radios, toasters, etc.
An exterior outlet is also located in the rear
storage compartment on the passenger side of the
motorhome.
