Energy Management System - 50 Amp - Fleetwood Expedition Owner's Manual

Electrical Systems
• Disconnect the battery(ies) before performing
any maintenance on the generator. Allow the
generator to cool before performing any
maintenance.
• Do not use the generator as an emergency
power source to a general residential or
industrial utility line. This is illegal and
may cause shock or electrocution to power
line utility personnel attempting to repair
power lines.
A.
WARNING
Do not place flammable material or store any other
materials in the generator compartment.
A.
WARNING
Do not operate the generator when parked in or near
high grass or brush. Exhaust component heat may
cause a fire.
A.
WARNING
Do not modify the generator installation or exhaust
system in any way.
Do not use the generator as an emergency power
source to a general residential or industrial utility line.
This is illegal and may cause shock or electrocution to
power line utility personnel attempting to repair power
lines.
CAUTION
Do not block the generator ventilating air inlets or out-
lets. The engine requires a constant supply of cooling
air. Restricted ventilating air inlets or outlets can
cause engine failure.

WARNING
Exhaust gases are deadly. Inspect the generator
exhaust system thoroughly before starting the gener-
ator engine. Do not block the tail pipe or situate the
motor home in a place where the exhaust gases have
any possibility of accumulating either outside, under-
neath, or inside your vehicle or any nearby vehicles.
Outside air movements can carry exhaust gases
inside the vehicle through windows or other openings
remote from the generator exhaust. Operate the gen-
erator only when safe dispersion of exhaust gases
can be assured, and monitor outside conditions to be
sure that exhaust gases continue to be dispersed
safely.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -
SO AMP
Intellitec's Smart Energy Management System -
50 AMP (Smart EMS) is designed to be used in
RV s equipped with 50 AMP electrical service.
The system senses when the coach is connected
to a 50 AMP service or operating from the gen-
erator and allows simultaneous operations of all
the 120 volt loads. When 50 AMP service is not
available and the coach is connected to a smaller
electrical service, such as 30 or 20 AMP, the sys-
tem automatically takes control of the loads to
practically eliminate circuit breaker tripping. It
constantly monitors the total amount of current
drawn in the RV and controls the loads, as neces-
sary, to keep the total current to a value less than,
or equal to, the available power service.
There is no programming necessary and the unit
will work with any load within the circuit
breaker limits. The Smart EMS automatically
"learns" the amount of current drawn by each of
the controlled loads as it turns them on and off.
In this way, it automatically adapts to differing
loads or loads whose current changes with line
voltage or temperature.
Features:
• Limits total current to 30 AMPs.
• Minimizes circuit breaker tripping when
connected to 20, or 30 AMP service.
• Eliminates manual appliance select
switches.
