SECTION 6 –
ELECTRICAL
The inverter can also be used while
driving the motorhome because the
engine alternator will charge the
batteries while driving.
The inverter has built in GFCI protection. The
GFCI will protect against electrical shock by
interrupting the flow of electricity. If there is no
power from the inverter the GFCI may have
tripped. Reset the GFCI by pressing the RESET
button. If the GFCI continues to trip, have the
electrical system checked and repaired, if
necessary, before using the inverter again.
Inverter Locations
•
Model 23A - Located beneath passenger side
bed. Access by removing drawer.
•
Model 23F - Located beneath the bed. Access
through door at foot of the bed.
•
Model 23T - Located beneath pantry storage.
Access by opening lower pantry door.
NOTE: Do not leave the shoreline plugged in
during storage. Follow regular battery
inspection and maintenance.
Inverter Control Panel
The inverter has a wall-mounted monitor/
control panel. It will also indicate warnings for
overload conditions or other operating failure
conditions.
When the inverter is not being used, it should
be shut off at the control panel. The inverter
could drain the house batteries if the shoreline is
not connected to external power and the House/
Coach Battery Disconnect switch is on.
Further Information
See the inverter control panel instructions in
your InfoCase for complete instructions and
charging setup directions.
CONVERTER
The power converter changes 120-volt AC
current from the auxiliary generator or the
shoreline into 12-volt DC current for use by 12-
volt equipment in the motorhome.
NOTE: The converter will not change 12-volt
DC current to 120-volt AC.
Current drawn from the house batteries passes
through the power converter unchanged,
although it is routed through a series of protective
fuses located on the power panel.
NOTICE
Do not store items around the inverter
unit. The inverter generates heat while
operating and needs unrestricted airflow
for proper cooling. Damage to the inverter
can result.
