BREAKER BOX DETAILS
BREAKER BOX
HAS A SPLIT BUS
1ST BUS IS
POWERED BY THE
BLACK WIRE
2ND BUS IS
POWERED BY THE
RED WIRE
* If either 1 of the
wires coming in to
the box are not
supplying voltage
you can see that
every other breaker
will not have power.

BLACK LINE(MAIN)
RED LINE(MAIN)

120V POWER WIRE
FROM INVERTER

THE 2 MAIN 6GA POWER WIRES PASS THROUGH THIS
TO MEASURE THE LINE LOADS (AMPS) AND THEY ARE
DISPLAYED ON THE INTERIOR PANEL. THIS IS HOW THE
SYSTEM DETERMINES WHICH LOADS TO SHED WHEN
EITHER LEG IS OVERLOADED

THESE 8 BREAKERS CAN
BE TURNED ON WITH THE

ONLY WHEN GENERATOR
OR SHORE POWER IS NOT
AVAILABLE.

Shore Cord

If generator is running and
shore cord plugged in:
Generator takes priority.

Diesel Generator

THERE IS A
BREAKER
LOCATED ON THE
GENERATOR.

GENERATOR HAS A DELAY
BEFORE TRANSFERRING
POWER TO ALLOW GENERATOR
TO REACH AND MAINTAIN A
VOLTAGE ABOVE 90V.

•

If your experiencing 120v power
issues and know how to use a multi
meter, this is a good source to take a
few readings to make sure power is
getting where it supposed to.

SLOW FLASH (BLINKS ON 4-SEC THEN OFF 4-SEC) = FLOAT CHARGE/STANDBY
MEDIUM FLASH (BLINKS ON EVERY 2-SEC) = INVERTER IS INVERTING 120V PWR
FAST FLASH (BLINKS ON EVERY 1-SEC) = SEARCHING OR AC PASSTHROUGH
ON/SOLID=BULK CHARGING & INVERTER STANDBY

The BIM monitors the battery voltage of both the chassis and coach batteries over long periods of time.
If it senses a charging voltage, it connects the two batteries together. If the charging system is drastically
overburdened, the batteries will be isolated, however, if the BIM sees a long term charging of both
batteries it will allow the batteries to remain connected and allow the charging system to do its job.
Once the batteries have charged for one hour, the BIM will isolate the batteries to prevent
overcharging, and will only reconnect the batteries for charging if one of the batteries drops to
approximately 80% charge, and the other is being charged.
