AUTOMATIC GENERATOR START CONTROL SYSTEM (AGS)
If you have this option, it is controlled through the multiplex. The AGS is a multifunction device that provides
automatic on and off operations for your generator. This system monitors the coach battery and when low, it starts the
generator and has a display to show that the generator is running, plus it will display if there is a problem with the
generator (see AGS picture page 33)
Read the manufacturer’s instruction manual for operation testing and the maintenance of the AGS.
LIGHTING, OTHER SYSTEM CONTROLS, AND MONITORING (MULTIPLEX SYSTEM)
The multiplex system is designed to control and monitor almost all the systems in the coach from a main
touch screen in the living area and from lesser function strategically place smaller push button panels
throughout the coach. Climate, lights, generator start, slides, water pump, and many other functions are available
with the touch on the screen or the push of a button. There is an app for android and apple devices to allow you
operate most multiplex functions via your smart phones and tablets.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the main panel and refer to the operator's manual for this
system in your binder
.
Many of the lights throughout your unit are controlled by a switch on the fixture itself. These include:
Reading lights for both sleeping positions in bedroom
Work light over the range (in range hood)
When available (dependent on the model and options) the following lights may be on the multiplex control
panel as you enter the unit:
Exterior lights (a yellow and clear lens on each side)
Aisle and indirect lights to provide low-level aisle lights through the living space, the bedroom, and bath. Step well
lighting (can be used as low-level night light)
Feature light in the outside grab handle at the entry door.
Dinette and kitchen overhead lights
Bathroom wall lights and the water pump may be available on
the multiplex remote panel located on the wall.
NOTE:
In some models, for convenience, a switch for the water supply system is also on the multiplex panel.
As with other electrical usage in your motor coach, be aware of the battery drain caused by lights.
When lights are on for an extended period-of-time, whenever possible, use an outside power source, such as the
coach generator, the vehicle’s alternator (with the engine running), or a land line.
