acute heart problems or other conditions that can make
a person particularly susceptible to electric shock may
still be seriously injured�
While the GFCI circuit breaker affords a high degree
of protection, there is no substitute for knowing that
electricity can be dangerous when carelessly handled
or used without reasonable caution�
The system incorporates GFCI breakers that
implement an auto-self-test functionality� When turned
off, these breakers require external AC power to be
present before they can be turned back on� If power is
present, and the breaker refuses to stay on, consult an
electrician or certified RV technician.
The GFCI circuit breaker will NOT reduce shock
hazard if contact is made between a HOT load wire
and a neutral wire or two HOT load wires. GFCI
circuit breakers provide protection only to the
circuit to which it is connected. It does NOT protect
any other circuit.

GFCI Breaker Test

Perform this test on the GFCI circuit breaker each
month and record the date�
A
B
1� With handle A in the "ON" position, press PUSH TO
TEST button B�
2� Handle A should move to the TRIP position,
indicating that the GFCI breaker circuit is open�
3� Move handle A to the "OFF" position and back to
the "ON "position to restore power�
If the device remains on when the Test button is
pushed, the GFCI is not working properly or has
been incorrectly installed (wired improperly)� If your
GFCI is not working properly, call a qualified, certified
electrician who can assess the situation, rewire the
GFCI if necessary, or replace the unit�
NOTE
Most fuses will require a qualified technician
to access and replace. Contact your dealer or
Airstream Service Center.

120 volt System
City Power Overview
120 VAC shoreline power (city power) enters the coach
through the SmartPlug Cordset shoreline connection,
Smartplug inlet, and distribution panel, where it is
distributed to each appliance or receptacle� The 120
VAC electrical system provides power to operate the
A/C, hydronic heating element, appliances, converter,
and 120 VAC receptacles for portable appliances�
The inverter/charger converts shoreline 120 volt
alternating current (120 VAC) to direct current (DC)
power to charge the battery pack and diverts 120 VAC
shore power to 120 VAC systems�
All wires, components, and wiring methods meet
federal and state requirements� The wiring is protected
by circuit breakers when connected to external AC
power� The circuit breaker panel for the 120 volt system
is inside the Power Center;
5-10�
If an outlet or appliance is not working, check your
touring coach circuit breakers and the breaker at the
shoreline connection� If a breaker continues to trip after
you have reset it several times, your circuit may be
overloaded with devices/appliances, or there may be
a short in the circuit� The Energy Management System
(EMS) should shed loads to prevent breakers from
tripping� Ensure the Power Source on the Multiplex
electrical screen matches your incoming power source�
If all else fails, try lessening the load on the circuit by
turning off devices while using external appliances like
vacuum cleaners� If that does not solve the problem,
consult an Airstream Service Center�
Do not connect shoreline to a 240 VAC outlet.
Connecting to a 240 VAC outlet may result in
permanent damage not covered by warranty.
