SMART EMS SERVICE MANUAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION SMART EMS is a completely self-contained120 volt power distribution and energy management system intended to be used in recreational vehicles. It is housed in a sheet metal enclosure with removable front panel. It provides circuit protection for all the 120 VAC loads in the RV and a system of energy management to minimize the over-loading and tripping of circuit breakers.
SERVICE MANUAL CAUTION The SMART EMS is a centralized power switching, fusing, and distribution center. Power from the 120 volt power source is fed into the box. The potential of lethal electrical shock is present in this box. Inadvertent only shorts at this box could result in damage and/or injury.
SMART EMS SERVICE MANUAL OPERATION In operation, when the 120 VAC and 12 VDC are applied, the system will energize the relays, one at a time. The three AC relays and two DC relays will move from the N/O to N/C position.
SMART EMS SERVICE MANUAL The Service Select button allows the current threshold to be set to either 30 Amps or 20 Amps, to match the incoming service. If the pictured adaptor is used on the incoming service, press the service select button to select the 20 Amp mode.

SMART EMS SERVICE MANUAL PERFORMANCE TEST The system is now ready for testing. Hi-POT TEST At the installers preference, to assure there are no potential shorts, a Hi-Pot test can be performed on the installation. To do this, +12 volts must be applied to the system. A jumper wire must be installed to tie the two pins of the "Hi-Pot Test" plug, J1, to turn the system on without the presence of 120 volt power.
