Generator (Option); Battery Isolator (For Tow Vehicle); Exterior Lights; Porch Light - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

Generator (Option)

The optional auxiliary generator set, if so equipped, will produce 120-volt power for lighting,
refrigeration, and other equipment in your trailer when shore power is not available.
An automatic transfer switch to change between shore power and generator power is located in the
on board electrical system. The switch requires no user maintenance and must not be opened by
anyone than a qualified RV electrical technician.

Battery Isolator (For Tow Vehicle)

A battery isolator should be installed for two purposes. First it receives current from the alternator
and controls distribution of energy to both batteries. Secondly, it serves as a check valve to prevent
energy from being drawn from tow vehicle chassis battery. Energy in the tow vehicle is now
preserved to start your engine.
Two types of isolators are available, mechanical and solid state. Each type has an amperage rating
(70-amp per side) to indicate it's capacity of operation. The solid state type of isolator, although
typically more expensive, will provide the best overall performance. Your dealer can assist you with
purchase and installation.

Exterior Lights

All exterior lights are energized by the tow vehicle power, such as tail lights, clearance lights, turn
signals, brake lights, etc. When attaching wire leads to a tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape all
connections for moisture protection.
Refer to diagram (Fig. 4-24) for the color code of the seven wire harness and connector. The
connector between the tow vehicle and your sport utility trailer may build up corrosion with
extended use, and should be cleaned periodically to insure good electrical contact.
