Display Panel

The display panel requires little user interaction
and is provided to help the user understand power
management� The display monitors the total AC current
of the touring coach and prevents circuit breaker
tripping by momentarily shedding loads� As additional
appliances are turned on the system will begin to shed
loads� As appliances are turned off, and a minimum of
two minutes has expired, the system will automatically
restore power to each of the shed loads�

Service

The "Select" button allows the service type to be set
to either 15, 20, or 30 amps to match the incoming
service�
When power is first applied, the system will be in the
30 amp mode and the screen will display "Service
30A"� Momentarily pressing the "SELECT" button will
switch the system to the 20 amp mode� Momentarily
pressing the button again will switch the system to the
15 amp mode�
Press the "SELECT" button to switch to either 15 or 20-
amp service if it is necessary to use an adaptor or you
know the shoreline power is 15 or 20 amps, The screen
will display either "Service 15A" or "Service 20A"�
The generator supplies 20 amp service and is set to
switch the system automatically to the 20 amp mode
whenever the generator is the power source� The
screen will display "Generator 20A" when the generator
is supplying power�

Status

The roof air conditioner, boiler, and microwave are set
at the factory to be the controlled circuits and are shed
in this order� This means if a power hungry appliance
is plugged into an outlet and the system begins to use
more than the amp setting, it will begin to shed loads
and will shut off the air conditioner first.
If the air conditioner is shed, it will not automatically
come back on once the power exceeding source is
turned off� If you would like to continue running the
AC's fan, turn the AC to fan mode before the amperage
setting is exceeded�
NOTE
Keep in mind, if the EMS is set to 15 amps it is
only recommended to charge the house batteries.
Running any appliance will likely exceed the 15
amp setting.

Generator

The onboard generator makes your RV house electrical
system fully self-contained� It allows you access to
120 volts when there is no shore power available�
To use the generator you simply start it� All switching
is done automatically� The generator can be started
by pressing up on the switch inside the overhead
compartment, behind the driver's seat� It is easier
on your generator and appliances if you'll allow the
generator to reach its normal operating speed (about a
minute) prior to applying heavy current loads�
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed building or
in a partly enclosed area such as a garage� Nor should
the generator be operated while sleeping� Be sure to
follow all instructions and warnings in this manual and
the generator manufacturer's manual�
