Inverter/Charger

Your motorhome may have multiple 12-volt DC to 120-volt AC inverter/charger(s) in stalled that are designed to temporarily run selected 120-volt appliances from house auxiliary battery power.
The inverter/charger(s) is located between the chassis frame rails in the cargo storage area, the controls are operated from the touchscreen. 120-volt circuit breakers protecting inverter/charger output circuits are located in the sub-panels(s) under the bed. Circuit breaker labeling near the sub-panels indicates which appliances can be operated from inverter/charger power. Refer to the Power Cut Out Switch section for the location of inverter disconnect switches.

Inverter/charger 120-volt AC output is a pure sine wave type. The inverter/charger will operate most appliances, tools, and other 120-volt AC equipment.
The inverter/charger also functions as a multi-stage 12-volt power converter/battery charger when the motorhome is connected to 120-volt shore power or when the generator is running. In this mode, the inverter/charger charges the house auxiliary batteries. Chassis batteries can also be charged either from shore power or using the generator.

NOTE: Refer to the touch screen user guide in your warranty packet or online at http://www.fireflyint.com for specific instructions.

WARNING:
The inverter/charger generates heat while operating and needs unrestricted airflow for proper cooling. Do not store anything around or on top of the inverter/charger that would restrict air flow around it.

Inverter/Charger Remote Controls
To enable automatic inverter operation during power blackout or brownout conditions leave the inverter/charger(s) in “INVERTER” mode at all times. The inverter/charger is in “IN-VERTER” mode when the green “INV” light on the remote control panel is illuminated. When in “INVERTER” mode the inverter/charger(s) will be on standby when the mo-torhome is connected to 50 amp 120-volt AC shore power or when the generator is operat-ing. All connected appliances operate off of shore power or generator power during this time. If shore power is interrupted and the generator isn’t running, the inverter/charger(s) will automatically activate providing 120-volt AC power to connected appliances. See the inverter/charger owner’s manual for additional information.

NOTE: Leaving the inverter/charger in the “on” position when the mo-torhome is in prolonged storage (no 120-volt AC shore power connected) will drain the auxiliary batteries even though all 120-volt AC appliances are turned off.

Inverter/Charger battery charging function
The inverter/charger functions as a multi-stage battery charger when the motorhome is con-nected to 120-volt AC shore power or when the generator is operating. The inverter/charger automatically senses auxiliary battery condition and applies the appropriate battery charging profile. In the event the motorhome auxiliary batteries become completely discharged, the inverter/charger will be unable to sense battery voltage and will not begin its charge sequence. To manually initiate charging, turn the chassis ignition key to the “on” position for a short pe-riod of time. If the batteries do not charge, or fail to hold a charge, they may be defective. See the inverter/charger owner’s manual for additional battery charging information.

Inverter/Charger fault conditions
Certain fault conditions will cause the inverter to shut down. These conditions include:

1. High or low battery
2. Power consumption overload
3. Inverter overheating
4. Inverter internal fault

Refer to the inverter/charger owner’s manual for fault code diagnosis and resolution.

NOTE: High battery voltage may be caused by excessive or unregulated voltage from solar panels and/or other external battery charging sources.

Inverter/Charger 12-volt DC fuse
Each inverter/charger and its 12-volt wiring are protected by a replaceable high-current fuse typically located on the frame rail near the auxiliary battery bank. A 2000-watt inverter/charger will be protected by a 300 amp fuse and a 3000-watt inverter/charger will be protected by a 400 amp fuse.

Fuse Inverter/Charger integral 120-volt AC circuit breakers
The inverter/charger is equipped with integral 120-volt AC circuit breakers located on the inverter/charger metal case. In overload conditions, these circuit breakers will trip and interrupt inverter/charger 120-volt AC input and/or output. After correcting the overload condition, reset these circuit breakers to resume inverter/charger 120-volt AC operation. Refer to the inverter/charger owner’s manual for additional information. For complete detailed operation and safety information refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s guide found in your warranty packet. Follow all safety information displayed in the manual.

12-Volt DC System
The majority of your motorhome lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:

1. Power is supplied by the chassis alternator when the chassis engine is running.
2. 12-volt DC power is supplied when the shore power cord is plugged into a 120-volt external power source. House batteries will be charged also in most situa-tions.
3. The house batteries power many interior 12-volt components including the light-ing fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc, when the mo-torhome is not connected to a 120-volt power source.

WARNING:
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type. Never use a higher rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.

12-Volt Fuse Panel
The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions and the components pow-ered. Fuses are located in the load center.

Replacing a Fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical components protected by it.

1. Disconnect the shore power cord.
2. Inverter should be OFF.
3. Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
4. Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the original location.

The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. Fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.

12-Volt DC Outlet
There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appli-ance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.

WARNING:

1. Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near the batteries that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals. Contact with the battery or battery cable terminals could cause an electrical short circuit, discharge the batteries, or start an electrical fire.
2. Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the batteries as the hydrogen gas they create may explode. Do not connect a booster battery or other power source that outputs more than 14.2-volts DC to the motorhome batteries. Use adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries in an enclosed space.
3. Remove metal jewelry and always wear eye protection when working around batteries.
4. Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into contact with skin, eyes, fabric, or painted surfaces. The electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution that could cause serious personal injury or property damage. If your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your motorhome are exposed to electrolyte, flush the exposed area thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention.
5. Make sure the inverter/charger is turned “off” before disconnecting the negative battery cable from the battery bank. Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
