NOTE: Do not leave the shoreline plugged in
during storage. Follow regular battery
inspection and maintenance.
Inverter Control Panel
–If Equipped
The inverter has a wall-mounted monitor/
control panel. It will also display warnings for
overload conditions or other operating failure
conditions.
When the inverter is not being used, it should
be shut off at the control panel. The inverter
could drain the house batteries if the shoreline is
not connected to external power and the House/
Coach Battery Disconnect switch is on.
Further Information
See the inverter control panel instructions in
your InfoCase for complete instructions and
charging setup directions.
POWER CENTER
(Converter)
The power converter is generally located in a
lower cabinet face in the galley or living area,
depending on the floorplan of your model.
The converter power panel contains the house
electrical system 120-volt circuit breakers and
12-volt fuses.
The power converter changes 120-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-
volt equipment in the motorhome.
Certain circuits, however, remain unchanged
for use by items which require 120-volt current,
such as the air conditioner(s), the refrigerator in
AC mode, the microwave oven, etc.
NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt
DC current to 120-volt AC.
Current drawn from the house batteries passes
through the power converter unchanged,
although it is routed through a series of protective
fuses located on the power panel.
NOTICE
Do not store items too closely around the
inverter unit in the storage compartment.
The inverter generates heat while
operating and needs unrestricted airflow
for proper cooling. Damage to the inverter
can result.
