Ceiling And Directional Lighting; 120-Volt Power; Automatic Generator Start (Ags) - Airstream Interstate 2019 Owner's Manual

Ceiling and Directional Lighting

All lighting in the Airstream Interstate is LED and most
will require a replacement fixture should it go out or
malfunction� Lighting can be operated from multiple
control panels connected to the Multiplex System�
The main touch screen control panel is located in the
front roadside roof locker� The Circuit Control Board is
located below the curbside jumper seat� Other control
panels located throughout the touring coach include;
on the wall at the entry door, and in the rear lounge
area� These panels control an array of lighting in their
respective locations, as well as, the power shades, roof
vents, rear screen, and water pump�
The Multiplex System is self resetting should a circuit
trip� The system should never need reset by the owner
for any reason� If the main control panel or remote
panels are not operating this could indicate a short in
the wiring and should only be serviced by a certified
technician�
Examples of the regional control panels are shown
below� Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for wiring
diagrams
NOTE
Several Multiplex control panels are installed
throughout the touring coach. Many fixtures can
be operated on multiple control panels. However,
some of the fixtures they control are unique to the
area in which they are located. For best use of the
Multiplex System Airstream recommends learning
the functions of each individual panel. Refer to the
owner's manual provided for tips and information
on how to use the system.

120-Volt Power

When you're plugged into shoreline power or starting
your generator, 120-volt current is fed to an Automatic
Switch Over Box� Power from the box runs to the
120-volt circuit breakers on the Energy Management
System
NOTE
Make sure to read, understand, and follow all
electrical component owner's manuals provided
in the owner's packet before operating the touring
coach. Observe all operating instructions and
Warnings as well as all recommended maintenance
schedules and procedures.

Automatic Generator Start (AGS)

Your Touring Coach is equipped with an Automatic
Generator Start System (AGS) which provides an
optional automatic control of your onboard generator
The purpose of an AGS system is to automatically
start (and run) the generator when the 12 volt electrical
system (house batteries) drops to a pre-determined
level� The AGS can be enabled to monitor the house
battery bank and when it reaches a certain level, the
generator will automatically start, sending a charge to
your batteries� This protects the system so that your
batteries will not go down farther� Once the batteries
receive a sufficient amount of charge, the generator
will automatically turn off� If you are in a location for an
extended period of time, this can help protect battery
bank when shore power is not available� You may also
have the ability to set predetermined times so that it will
not start during the night or during posted quite times in
a campground�
The automatic start function of your generator requires
you to manually enable it� This can be accomplished
by selecting enable on the Multiplex display� You will
then see a warning screen listing the safety issues
associated with AGS usage� You are required to
acknowledge these warnings by pressing and holding a
button for 3 seconds or longer to enable AGS�
Once enabled, AGS will remain enabled until the
Sprinter Ignition is cycled or the generator is manually
operated� After the vehicle is started, the AGS will be
disabled� You can then return to the cabin to manually
re-enable the system� It will then remain active until
the vehicle is turned off� Any cycling, on or off, of the
vehicle ignition will disable the AGS functionality�
