SOLAR CHARGER PANEL
The 10-watt roof-mounted solar charger panel
uses the sun to help keep your house batteries
charged. A charge indicator light is provided on
the monitor panel to show you when the solar
panel is actively charging the house batteries.
The red light will glow when the solar panel is
charging the coach batteries. The greater the rate
of charge, the brighter the light. When the
batteries reach full charge, the light will
gradually dim, then darken.
NOTE: The solar battery charger is not intended
to make the coach battery system
“maintenance free.” The solar panel will
not completely compensate for
continuous low amperage draw from
components such as the LP gas leak
detector, the clock in the dash radio and
the radio station memory circuitry, for
example.
Although the solar panel system can help
to extend battery life, the coach shoreline
should be plugged in routinely to “top
off” the batteries. We also recommend
following regular battery inspection and
maintenance, especially in cold weather.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (EMS)
The Energy Management System (EMS)
monitors the electrical usage of the appliances
and equipment in the coach and distributes the
electrical loads to avoid nuisance tripping of the
shoreline circuit breaker. This system works
together with the energy efficient central air
conditioner to allow you to run both AC
compressors at the same time on a 30-amp
shoreline connection.
Please read your Energy Management System
Owners Guide for important information on
system operation. This guide will also explain
how this system operates under several
conditions, whether 20-amp, 30-amp or 50-amp
connections.
