This GFCI receptacle will not protect against short-circuits or
overloads. The circuit breaker or fuse in the electrical panel which
supplies power to the circuit provides this protection.
Polarity is extremely important. You should be certain that the
polarity of the external power is not reversed, in order to avoid harm
to appliances and personal electrical shock. Polarity testers may be
purchased in most electrical and hardware stores with the GFCI
tester built in.
During use of the recreational vehicle it is suggested to test this
receptacle once per month. To test, press the “TEST” button in.
The “RESET” button should pop out. Power should now be turned
off at this receptacle and any receptacles down line. To restore
power push, then release the “RESET” button.
12-Volt DC System
Most interior lights and appliances receive 12-volt DC power through
converter output and/or the auxiliary battery. Exterior lights and
brakes also use 12-volt DC power from the tow vehicle battery and/
or auxiliary battery through the seven way connecter and wire
attached to the tow vehicle. Following are explanations of various
items.
Converter
The heart of your 12 volt DC system is enclosed inside of the load
center, including 12V fuse panel, 120VAC breaker panel, and
converter.
.
Fuse panel may have numerous fuse positions, depending on output
size of your converter.
All converters have solid state electronic components internally to
produce “clean” 12V DC power.
This load center will have a brown plastic front with a small door to
access fuses and breakers.
The function of a converter takes 120-volt AC power and transforms
this energy into 12-volt DC power as used in your coach. 12-volt DC
supplies power for some appliances and most interior lights. The
floor plan and size of coach indicate the output size.
