Inverter; Providing Ac Power With Inverter; Battery Charging With Inverter - Holiday Rambler Imperial 2008 Owner's Manual

This procedure drives off moisture, lubricates
the internal engine parts, replaces the old stale
fuel with a fresh supply, and also promotes
removing oxides from the electrical switches
and contacts.
NOTE:
Avoid short run periods of the
generator. Run the generator set under
a load for a minimum of one-half hour.

INVERTER

The inverter changes DC battery power to AC
electrical power, and it also charges the house
and chassis batteries when hooked to shore
power or operating from the generator. Use the
inverter to supply AC power when shore power
is not available and the generator is not going to
be used as a secondary AC power source. The
inverter supplies AC power to most outlets and
appliances. Remember that using the inverter
quickly consumes house battery power. Turn off
the inverter when not in use to conserve house
battery power. The remote panel is used to
change the variable settings.

Providing AC Power with Inverter

To turn the inverter on:
Press the INVERTER ON/OFF switch at the
remote panel located in front overhead cabinet.
If the inverter does not sense AC power from
the generator or shore power, it will provide AC
power from the motorhome batteries to most
outlets and appliances.
If the generator is started or the motorhome
is connected to shore power, the inverter will
automatically begin charging.

Battery Charging with Inverter

The inverter will automatically begin charging
when AC power is supplied from shore service
or the generator. The inverter uses a three-stage
charge cycle to charge the batteries. The charger
may be turned off if desired.
To turn the charger on and off:
Press the switch marked CHARGER
ON/OFF on the remote panel.
Shore Setting:
The Shore setting in the remote panel adjusts
the amount of AC current the battery charger
can use. If hooked to less than 50 Amp service,
select the proper Shore setting to help prevent
combined AC loads such as the roof air
conditioner and the charger from overloading
limited shore power service.
