Electrical System Operation
IMPORTANT
Please be aware that inverters use a standby
current drain even when your equipment is
turned off so to ensure your battery life, turn
off the inverter function when not in use.
NOTICE
The inverter is not intended for appliances
that consume more than the specied
inverter wattage. Exceeding the specied
wattage could result in damage to the
appliance or the inverter. Extended use of
the inverter-powered receptacles will drain
your batteries.
Before performing any service, insure the
inverter is completely disconnected from
power sources. Disconnect battery (12V DC)
and shore power (120V AC). Inverter should
only be services by a qualied technician.
Inverter
Triple E RV/Leisure Travel Vans uses Magnum
1200W Modied Sine Wave Inverter/Charges.
The 1200W inverters are standard on all units.
Inverters operate on the following principal: they
change 12V DC power stored in batteries into
120V AC power used in household appliances.
The 1200W inverter can supply 10A A.C. at full
capacity; it has a 15A output breaker (1) and a
20A input breaker (2). The 15A breaker powers
the Bedroom, Entertainment and Galley
receptacle. When the motor home is plugged
into shore power, the breaker panel supplies
power to the inverter, which switches that power
through to the ‘inverter loads’.
When shore power or generator power is
absent, the inverter can be switched on and
used to supply 120 volt power to the loads
mentioned above, no other receptacles will have
power. The 1200 watt inverter has an internal
55 amp battery charger. Once the inverter has
accepted the AC input power, Charge Mode will
begin however it is possible to turn charger off.
The Magnum Monitor instrument is a complex
computer control and monitor device, it is
used on all Units. It is factory congured for
the particular inverter and battery installation
Triple E RV/Leisure Travel Vans uses. If any
modications are ever made to the battery
bank, it may be necessary to change some
internal parameters. Please refer to the Inverter
/ Remote Control manual for setting or contact
the manufacturer. The Magnum ME-MR
controls the invert and charge features of the
Inverter.
NOTICE
The invert feature needs to be manually
switched ‘on’ and ‘off’, however when the
inverter Feature was turned ON and the
battery disconnect switch has been turned
off, next time the Inverter has been powered
up the inverter feature needs to be turned
on manually.
