ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
House 110-Volt Breaker Panel
near Entrance Step
110-Volt Breaker Panel
below Bedroom Wardrobe
110-Volt Circuit Breakers
The breaker panel protects all 110-volt com-
ponents in the motor home from either an over-
load on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing any
further flow of electricity and, therefore, damage
to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
"Off" and back to "On". If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
6-4
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances..

Charging Section

The converter charges house batteries while
110-volt external power is connected. The con-
verter will automatically "sense" the condition of
the RV battery. If it is below "full charge", the
Charging Section will start charging the battery.
If the house batteries have been extremely dis-
charged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly dis-
charged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the bat-
teries reach "full charge", then will remain
"trickle" charging at a very low amperage rate. If
your storage battery does not charge as described
above, it is possible the battery is defective.
Converter Overload Protector
The converter overload protector will shut-
down the converter if it becomes overheated.
This can result from operating above its maxi-
mum limit for an extended period of time or by
obstruction of ventilation to unit.
NOTE: When the converter is not operating, 12-
volt lights and motors will draw power
from the house batteries.
The converter overload protector will reset it-
self after a cool-down period. The lights and
motors will resume operating from the converter.
If the overload protector trips again shortly after
reset, take immediate steps to correct cause of
overheating. A portion of RV 12-volt load (lights
or motors or both) should be turned off to reduce
total load. Also, inspect power converter section
to make sure ventilation is not obstructed.
NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt
DC current to 110-volt AC.
