The power inverter is designed
to
provide 120-volt
AC
power
to the rear
TV,
VCR, front
TV,
microwave, garbage disposal,
galley fluorescent light and selected receptacles throughout
the motor home. The inverter uses 12-volt DC power from
the house battery system and transforms it into 6O-cycle,
l20-volt AC power to run some
of
the appliances in the
motor home. Controls are located in the wardrobe
or
dresser
cabinet.
Because the inverter uses 12-volt DC power, extended use
of
any available appliance can run the batteries down. A low
power indicator and automatic shut down system built into
the inverter can help prevent deep battery discharge. When
the inverter shuts down, the batteries will require recharging
from the generator, converter, or an external
AC
power
source, the solar charger, or the engine alternator.
Bathroom, galley, and patio l20-volt electrical outlets are
protected by a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
This device is intended to protect you against the hazards
of
electrical shocks possible when using electrical appliances in
the bathroom or galley or in damp areas. Should a circuit or
appliance (electric shaver, hair dryer, etc.) develop a potential
shock hazard, the GFCI device is designed to disconnect the
outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit), limiting your
exposure time.
Test the GFCI at least once a month.
To
test the GFCI:
1.
Connect the main power cord to 120-volt
AC.
2.
Push the TEST button. The RESET button should pop out,
indicating that the protected circuit has been disconnected.
