Allegro Bay Owner's Manual - Tiffin Motorhomes

ELECTRICAL FEATURES• Use the Green Button to turn the inverter on/off.o If an external AC source is available (generator, shore), the inverter will automatically pass theAC through whether the inverter is on or off.o If the inverter is left on when external AC is turned off, the inverter will remain on to powerload.o Make sure to turn the inverter off when storing. DC disconnect switch does not disconnect theinverter.• When in inverter mode, use gray button to toggle between meterso Input Voltage (DC voltage from the battery)o Input Current (DC amperage usage by inverter)o Output Power (Wattage used by loads)The breakers in the sub-panel are labeled to explain where the 120 VAC power is routed. Generally, theinverter/converter supplies power to the microwave, kitchen, bath, and bedroom receptacles and other, selectreceptacles. The inverter/converter is equipped with an automatic transfer switch which allows automaticswitching from inverter to converter.When the Allegro Bay is connected to an external power source or the generator is being used to supply power,the converter will automatically switch “on” to charge the 12 VDC batteries. For more detailed information,consult the manufacturer owner’s manual located in the Owner’s Information Package.Automatic Transfer SwitchYour Allegro Bay is equipped with an automatic transfer switch. When the generator is turned “on,” thisswitch automatically transfers from external power to generator power. There will be a slight delay between thestart of the generator and the electrical connection being made—this delay allows the generator to reach normaloperating speed without needing to supply a required load. When the Allegro Bay is plugged into an externalsource, a “click” will be heard in the transfer switch box—this is a normal function and merely indicates thatthe unit is changing over from an external power source to the generator.Resettable Circuit BreakersThe resettable circuit breakers (Figure 7-11) are located in the externalstorage compartment just forward of the entrance door. When the circuitbreakers are shut down or electrically tripped, they must be manually reset.These breakers protect the slide-outs, the AC ignition, the electric step, the30-amp ignition system, and the 12 VDC disconnect system. As needed,manually reset the circuit breaker or breakers as shown in theFigure 7-11. Circuit Breakers7-8
