Inverter (Optional); Providing Ac Power With The Inverter; Battery Charging With The Inverter - Monaco Cayman 2006 Manual

If converter output is correct, but the battery is not charging, there may be a problem with an open wire
between the converter and battery. If the fuses are blown, the battery was connected in reverse. It only takes one
second of reverse connection to blow the fuse.
If the power requirement for the converter is met, the fuses are good, and there is no output from the
converter, the converter is bad and will need to be replaced.
NOTE:
Do not store objects close to the converter. This may disrupt the air flow to and from the
converter, possibly causing damage due to overheating.

INVERTER (Optional)

The inverter performs two functions: it converts DC battery power to AC electrical power, and it charges
the batteries when hooked to shore power or operating from the generator. Use the inverter to supply AC power
when shore power is not available and the generator is not going to be used as a secondary AC power source. The
inverter supplies AC power to most outlets and appliances. It is important to remember that using the inverter
quickly consumes house battery power. Turn off the inverter when not in use to conserve house battery power.
The remote control panel is used to change the variable settings.
NOTE:
The inverter option eliminates the standard converter.

Providing AC Power with the Inverter

Press the INVERTER ON/OFF switch to turn on the
inverter. If the inverter does not sense AC power from the
generator or shore power, it will provide AC power from the
motorhome batteries to most outlets and appliances. If the
generator is started or the motorhome is connected to shore
power, the inverter will automatically begin charging.

Battery Charging with the Inverter

The inverter will automatically begin charging when AC power is supplied from shore service or the
generator. The inverter uses a three-stage charge cycle to charge the batteries. If desired the charger may be
turned off.
To turn the charger ON and OFF:
• Press the switch marked CHARGER ON/OFF on the remote panel.
NOTE:
Refer to the OEM manual located in the Owner's Information File Box for detailed
instructions.
