Interior
Ceiling and Directional Lighting
All lighting in the Airstream Interstate is LED and most
will require a replacement fixture should it go out or
malfunction� Lighting can be operated from multiple
control panels connected to the Multiplex System�
The main touch screen control panel is located in the
front roadside roof locker� The Circuit Control Board
is located below the curbside ottoman� Other control
panels located throughout the touring coach include;
on the wall at the entry door, and in the rear lounge
area� These panels control an array of lighting in
their respective locations, as well as, roof vents, rear
screen, and water pump�
The Multiplex System is self resetting should a circuit
trip� The system should never need reset by the owner
for any reason� If the main control panel or remote
panels are not operating this could indicate a short in
the wiring and should only be serviced by a certified
technician�
NOTE
Several Multiplex control panels are installed
throughout the touring coach. Many fixtures can
be operated on multiple control panels. However,
some of the fixtures they control are unique to the
area in which they are located. For best use of the
Multiplex System Airstream recommends learning
the functions of each individual panel. Refer to the
owner's manual provided for tips and information
on how to use the system.
Bar Accent Lighting
The Tommy Bahama's bar area has LED accent lights
installed around the bottom edge of the counter top
and down lighting in the recessed storage area directly
above� Both the accent and down lighting can be
turned on and off using the switch located on the side
of the bar�
120-Volt Power
When you're plugged into shoreline power or starting
your generator, 120-volt current is fed to an Automatic
Switch Over Box� Power from the box runs to the
120-volt circuit breakers on the Energy Management
System�
NOTE
Make sure to read, understand, and follow all
electrical component owner's manuals provided
in the owner's packet before operating the touring
coach. Observe all operating instructions and
Warnings as well as all recommended maintenance
schedules and procedures.

Automatic Generator Start (AGS)
Your Touring Coach is equipped with an Automatic
Generator Start System (AGS) which provides an
optional automatic control of your onboard generator
The purpose of an AGS system is to automatically
start (and run) the generator when the 12 volt electrical
system (house batteries) drops to a pre-determined
level� The AGS can be enabled to monitor the house
battery bank and when it reaches a certain level, the
generator will automatically start, sending a charge to
your batteries� This protects the system so that your
batteries will not go down farther� Once the batteries
receive a sufficient amount of charge, the generator
will automatically turn off� If you are in a location for an
extended period of time, this can help protect battery
bank when shore power is not available� You may also
have the ability to set predetermined times so that it will
not start during the night or during posted quite times in
a campground�
The automatic start function of your generator requires
you to manually enable it� This can be accomplished
by selecting "Auto Gen Start Enable"on the Multiplex
display and then pressing "on"� You will also need to
make sure that the "HVAC Load" button is activated
will then see a warning screen listing the safety issues
associated with AGS usage� You are required to
acknowledge these warnings by pressing and holding a
button for 3 seconds or longer to enable AGS�
