Status

The roof A/C and microwave are set at the factory to be
the controlled circuits and are shed in this order�
This means if a power hungry appliance is plugged
into an outlet and the system begins to use more than
30-amps it will begin to shed loads and will shut off the
A/C�

120-Volt Automatic Switch Over Box

The switch over box automatically switches the 120-
volt feed to the Energy Management System Module
from shoreline to generator and back as you choose
which way to power the touring coach� You simply
decide whether to plug into a 120-volt shoreline or
start the generator and the box will do the rest� If the
generator is accidentally started while plugged into
shoreline the box will sense the generator incoming
power, contact points inside the box will switch
cutting the shoreline connection, and establishing the
generator connection� This protects the system from a
possible overload from dual power sources�

Generator/City Power

A
a� To Energy Management System module main
breaker
b� From generator
c� From shoreline
1� When plugged into shoreline power, the current
path is from C to A�
2� When you start your generator, the points switch
and the power flow is from B to A. Stopping the
generator releases the points back to shoreline
feed�
3� If you're plugged into shoreline and you start the
generator, the points still switch since the generator
has the priority, so the current flow is still B to A.
