Warnings - Progressive Industries EMS-PT50 series Instruction Manual

INSTRUCTION MANUAL: ELECTRICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)
• Weather Resistant: Unit can be exposed to outside weather elements; however,
the unit may not be submerged. Unit is designed to be mounted or used vertically.
• Microprocessor Controlled: The EMS utilizes a state-of-the-art microprocessor with
proprietary software.
• Built-in Locking Bracket: Helps prevent theft by securing the EMS to the power
source pedestal using a lock, such as a bicycle cable lock.
NOTE: Provided you have the proper adapter the EMS may be used with 15A, 20A or 30A
service and will provide full protection; however, reduced power will be available so you
should limit your power consumption
• RV wiring is different than house wiring. In an RV, neutral and ground conductors
are isolated whereas in a house they are bonded at the service panel. Therefore;
never connect neutral and ground as this can result in a ground fault condition,
electric shock, and/or a fire hazard. This does not stop you from using a
"generator plug" that ties together neutral and ground as this is perfectly safe
when using a generator.
• Do not exceed the rating on the EMS for any reason. These devices are designed
to be reduced down to 120V/15A and maintain full protection.
• Do not modify the EMS in any way as this will void the warranty, could result in
possible shock, and/or a fire hazard or compromise protection.
• It is important to always check the pedestal power outlet for charring; this
condition means the AC receptacle is providing a weak connection. Should this
condition exists, DO NOT USE as it could result in possible melting of the RV
power plug.
• When running an extension cord from the RV to the pedestal power always use a
6 gauge cable for your 240 Volt, 50Amp device and/or a 10 gauge cable for your
120 Volt, 30Amp device. Ensure your cable is rated for outdoor use and we
recommend the length not to exceed 20-25'. Taking these preventative measure
can help to reduce the risk of electrical shock and/or fire.
• Whenever servicing or installing the EMS, or any other AC powered device,
make sure AC power is disconnected.
• NEVER plug the EMS into an inverter. This does not preclude using
inverter-generator.
