CONNECTING POWER CORD(S)
To help prevent power surges from damaging the connected loads,
please follow these instructions when hooking up to the external
power source:
1.
Turn off the load center main 120-volt circuit breaker and turn off
the breaker at the external power source if available.
2.
Align the pins on the plug to the RV power connector, and then
plug the RV end of the power cord into
the RV power connector fully.
3.
Rotate the power cord end locking
mechanism clockwise by hand until the
rotation stops (A). Do not over-tighten.
4.
Extend the entire length of the power
cord from the electric connector on the
RV to the external power source.
5.
Fully plug the power cord into the appropriate (30-amp or
50-amp) receptacle at the power source. Be sure all the power
cord prongs are correctly aligned into the receptacle.
6.
Turn on the load center main circuit breaker in the RV and the
breaker at the external power source.
When you are ready to leave, reverse the power cord connection
process. Grasp the plug to remove the power cord from the outlet; do
not unplug it by pulling on the cord.
POWERED CORD REEL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your recreation vehicle is
equipped with a powered cord
reel, you can extend or retract
the shore power cord using the
extend/retract switch located in the
same compartment near the cord
reel. After extending the shore
power cord, connect the cord to
the campground shore power
receptacle as noted above.
Refer to and follow all safety information found in the manufacturer's
product manual included with your Customer Information Packet.
INVERTER (IF EQUIPPED)
A factory installed inverter converts 12-volts DC to usable 120-volts
AC and supplies continuous AC power to the appliance plugged into
it. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the inverter function
and operation. The inverter should be "off" when not in use.
The factory installed inverter is not intended for use, nor should be
used, with any medical device(s). The inverter may, however, be used
with some CPAP machines, depending on the CPAP model. Consult
your CPAP machine's instruction manual before use.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a residential style
refrigerator, the inverter may be used to supply the 120-volts AC
necessary to power the refrigerator.

Maintenance
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the inverter case
and the manufacturer's warranty will be void if the case has been
removed. The inverter cooling fins and the cooling fan should be kept
clear of any obstructions.
Command Center Switch (if equipped)
Your RV may have an inverter remote display on the Command
Center switch panel. There are power and select buttons, Status/
Display indicators, and a single line digital alpha-numeric display. The
display can show measured battery voltage, AC output power, inverter
settings and error codes.
POWER button is used to turn the inverter on and off. To turn on the
inverter and the LED display press and hold POWER for 1 second
until you hear a beep.
When in Inverter Mode you will be able to cycle through Battery
Voltage, Inverter Power, inverter settings and error codes.
When in Bypass Mode you will be able to cycle through Battery
Voltage, inverter settings and error codes. Inverter Power will not be
available because the inverter is idle.
The STATUS and DISPLAY indicators indicate the inverter status:
•
STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both GREEN - Unit is plugged into
shore power. The panel is in Bypass Mode and will display
battery voltage in DC volts.
STATUS LED AMBER, DISPLAY LED GREEN - Inverter Mode
•
is active. Inverter is ON and will display battery voltage in DC
volts (not connected to shore power).
•
STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both AMBER - Inverter Mode is
active. Inverter is ON, pressing the SELECT button will display
inverter power output. Display shows power output in KW.
•
STATUS LED FLASHES AMBER, DISPLAY LED IS OFF - If
the unit is in Inverter Mode, and you plug in shore power, the
STATUS LED will begin flashing AMBER and the unit will switch
to Bypass Mode within 20 seconds of detecting an AC input.
•
If the STATUS LED is RED and DISPLAY LED is OFF, the
display will show an error code of E01 through E12. This
indicates a fault in the inverter circuit that needs attention.
Inverter will shut down.
The power button is NOT a power disconnect switch and will not
remove DC power from the inverter. Disconnect ALL power from the
inverter before working on it.
Refer to the Inverter manufacturers' manual in your Customer
Information Packet for further operating instructions, error codes,
changing inverter settings and safety information.
