Warnings
•
Do not exceed the rating on the EMS for any reason, however
these devices are designed to be reduced down to 120V/15A,
and still maintain full protection.
•
Do not modify the EMS in any way, this will void the
warranty, compromise protection, and could result in possible
shock, and/or a fire hazard.
•
It is important to always check the pedestal power outlet for
charring; this condition means that the AC receptacle is
providing a weak connection. DO NOT USE! It could result
in possible melting of the RV power plug.
•
When running extension cords from the RV to AC power,
always use a 10-gauge cable for your 120 volt, 30 Amp system.
Make sure that the cable is rated for outdoor use to reduce the
risk of electric shock. Small gauge cable will have a higher
resistance and will result in voltage loss, plus it may result in
an electrical fire.
•
Whenever servicing or installing the EMS, or any other AC
powered device, make sure AC power is disconnected.
•
RV wiring is different than the wiring found in homes; the
neutral and ground conductors are isolated in the RV, unlike in
a home where they are tied together at the service panel. The
reason is: homes have a bonded ground system, whereas RV’s
do not. Therefore, never bond the neutral and ground together
for any reason. This will create a ground fault condition, and
may result in electric shock and/or a fire hazard.
•
Never
plug the EMS into an inverter.
