Power Inverter - Fleetwood 1997 Discovery Owner's Manual

The power invelter is designed to provide 120-volt AC power
to the rear TV, coffee maker, VCR and front TV only. The
inverter uses 12-volt DC power from the house battery system
and transforms it into 60-cyc1e, 120-volt AC power to run
most of the appliances in the motor home. Controls are lo-
cated in the galley cabinet.
Because the inverter uses l2-volt DC power, extended use of
any available appliance can run the batteries down. A low
power indicator and automatic shut down system built into the
inverter can help prevent deep battery discharge. When the
inverter shuts down, the batteries will require recharging from
the generator, converter, or an extemal AC power source, the
solar charger, or the engine altemator.
Bathroom, galley, and patio l20-volt electrical outlets are
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
This device is intended to protect you against the hazards of
electrical shocks possible when using electrical appliances in
the bathroom or galley or in damp areas. Should a circuit or
appliance (electric shaver, hair dryer, etc.) develop a potential
shock hazard, the GFCI device is desigued to disconnect the
outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit), limiting your
exposure time.
Test the GFCI at least once a month. To test the GFCI:
1. Connect the main power cord to 120-volt AC.
2. Push the TEST button. The RESET button should pop out,
indicating that the protected circuit has been disconnected.
