APPLIANCES AND SYSTEMS
4-6
Refer to Section 7 - Plumbing for additional
information on the water pump and initial start-
up.
NOTE: Some models may be equipped with a
Water Pump switch in the water service
center on the outside of the coach or
within the bathroom area for your
convenience.
POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
(PCS)
–If Equipped
The Power Control System (PCS) monitors
the electrical usage of the appliances and
equipment in the coach and allows you to use
certain high energy appliances, such as the
microwave or washer/dryer, without overloading
the shoreline circuit breaker to help prevent
nuisance tripping.
Further Information
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide
provided in your InfoCase for important
information on how this system operates under
several conditions, whether 20-amp, 30-amp, and
50-amp connections, or generator service.
NOTE: In 50-amp service, the load meter is
blank. In all other conditions, the load
meter displays actual current load.
WATER HEATER - GAS/
ELECTRIC
The Gas/Electric Water Heater has a dual
power feature. It can operate from propane gas or
120-volt house current, or it can use both at the
same time for quicker recovery at times when
you are using a lot of hot water.
See the Water Heater manufacturer’s
operation manual provided in your InfoCase for
complete operating instructions, safety
warnings, and maintenance information before
operating the Water Heater.
Be sure the Water Heater is filled with
water before starting either electric or
propane gas operation. To fill the Water Heater,
turn the Water Pump switch ON and open a hot
water faucet anywhere in the coach. When water
begins to flow steadily from the faucet, the Water
Heater is full.
For Propane Gas Operation
Press the Water Heater LP switch to ON. The
monitor panel display will indicate that the heater
is “On”. If the monitor panel display reads
“Water Heat LP Fail”, it means that the burner
has gone into “lockout” mode and must be
restarted. If this happens, turn the Water Heater
LP switch off for about 5 minutes, then turn it
back on.
