Automatic Transfer Switch - Tiffin Motorhomes WAYFARER 2017 Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL FEATURES
The generator can be started from either the remote-start switch located on galley overhead
cabinet to the left as you walk through the entrance door or directly at the generator itself. The
hour meter installed on the generator records the number of hours of operation of the generator
motor—this elapsed time is needed for observing necessary maintenance schedules on the
generator.

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

The automatic transfer box switches 120V AC power from shore or generator to the coach's main
distribution panel. The transfer box has a delay of around three seconds before switching power
to shore, and a delay of around 30 seconds before switching power to the generator.
If the unit is plugged into shore but no power to coach, then make sure the shore outlet has
power. If power is present, this may indicate the unit is sensing an open neutral condition. Start
the generator, if the power is restored, then either the shore plug or the outlet may be defective
(the neutral line may be broken.)
If there is no power to coach from shore or generator, then check the generator circuit breaker. If
the circuit breakers are not tripped in the generator or the coach, the transfer box may need to be
replaced. For more detailed information on the automatic transfer switch, please refer to the
specific owner's instructions found in the owner's information package.
