•
This provides charging voltage to the auxiliary bat-
tery(ies) via the vehicle's alternator (when traveling) or
by the converter when connected to shore power or using
the on-board generator.
•
This will provide power to the dash radio, which is pow-
ered by the auxiliary battery(ies). Therefore, keeping
the master battery disconnect switch ON while the
motorhome is in motion, will allow the use of the dash
radio and driving cameras, which in most installations,
use the dash radio display for rear view and side view
camera monitoring.
•
When leaving the motorhome unattended for a few
hours or more and not connected to shore power, turn
the master battery disconnect switch OFF to conserve
battery power, unless you need to keep an appliance, like
your refrigerator, operating.
•
When connected to 120 volt shore power or the
on-board generator is being used, the 12 volt system is
powered through the converter, therefore, the master
battery switch is not controlling 12 volt system power.
However, when connected to shore power or operating
the on-board generator, charging voltage is provided to
the auxiliary battery(ies) whenever the master battery
disconnect switch is ON. Similarly, the master battery
disconnect switch must be ON in order for charging
energy from the solar charging system to connect to the
8
auxiliary battery(ies).

System
Your motorhome is equipped with multiplex wiring systems.
A multiplex system uses low-voltage, digital signals to control
the electrical and electro-mechanical devices within your
motorhome via a main system controller and an intuitive,
user-friendly touch-pad.
Multiplex main control panel. Panels and features vary depending upon
model, floor plan, and options.

Control functions vary from motorhome to motorhome,
depending upon the standard and optional equipment avail-
able. However, in its typical configuration, a multiplex system
will allow the user to monitor and operate these features from
the main touch screen panel:
•
Awning
•
Lighting
•
Fans and ventilation
•
Climate (HVAC) controls
•
Holding tank monitoring
•
Water pump on/off
•
Electrical system monitoring; both AC and DC
•
Battery monitoring and charge status
•
Generator on/off
•
AGS settings and controls

Basic Multiplex Operation
Depending on the model and floor plan of your motorhome,
it may be supplied with a multiplex control system from a
variety of manufacturers. However, every multiplex system is
designed to be intuitive to operate. Basic operation involves
these steps:
1.
Ensure power is ON, either from 12 volts DC (main bat-
tery switch) or 120 volts AC (shore or generator power).
With a power source ON, locate the main system panel.
Some system panels will automatically 'turn on' when
power is present, while other panels will require the user
to press a button on the panel, or touch the display.
2.
Select the feature or feature menu you want to control.
Some panels will have feature icons along one edge of the
panel, while other panels will have feature icons displayed
on the panel's touch-screen.
3.
With the feature menu selected, operate the control. For
example, turn on or off the lights, raise or lower the tem-
perature, turn on or turn off the generator, etc.
4.
Return to the main menu by either pressing the 'Home'
icon, located along the bottom edge of the panel, on the
touch screen, or on some panels, press a return arrow on
the display.
Most multiplex systems include individual wall switch panels
located in the bathroom for control of lights, fans, etc. Remote
switches are usually linked to the main system controller by
wireless Bluetooth signals.
BLUE TOOTH PAIRING
From time to time, it may be necessary to re-pair the touch
screen panel with the system control board. The pairing
