16 Amps. Because the EMS calculates a running three hour average, if the aver-
age load current drops below the limit the system will restore power to loads
based on their impact on the limit. If the system is in the averaging mode the
decimal point at the lower right corner of the load meter display on the display panel
will illuminate.
Display Panel:
The display panel is located in the inside over-
head compartment next to the entrance door and
connects to the distribution panel located in the
bedroom. Six power status LEDs indicate power
is applied to those loads. These LEDs are on
when the power is applied. The load meter has
a two digit display to indicate the amount of
current actually being drawn by all the appliances
in the motorhome.
Four service type LEDs indicate the source for 120/240 Volt AC power.
Three of these sources are automatically detected and indicated by the EMS:
Generator Service, 50 Amp Service and 30 Amp Service.
The 20 Amp service mode is not automatically detected and the operator
must manually select the 20 Amp mode when 20 Amp service is available.
The service select button allows the current threshold to be set to either 30
Amps or 20 Amps to match the incoming service.
The 12 Volt house distribution panel contains fuses (located in the bed-
room overhead cabinet) that protect the electrical circuits. These fuses are
the standard automotive type. When a fuse is “blown,” the wire in middle
of the plastic case will be burnt. A broken, bad or “blown” fuse must be
replaced with a fuse of the same rating and type. Use of a fuse with a dif-
ferent rating or type will defeat the circuit protection provided by that fuse
and could result in damage to the motorhome’s electrical system.
