Application
TheACS30WS (30amps), ACS20WS (20amps) is intended
for recreational vehicle (RV), residential, and commercial
applications. These devices will monitor system health
including current, voltage, frequency, and programmable
startup power.
Installation
1.Wire unit into RV or Motorhome power downstream
of any transfer switch.
2.Please note the Line In side vs the Line out and wire
accordingly. The unit will not operate if line in is wired
to the output side.
3.Allow self-diagnostic function to determine if voltage,
frequency is correct then the source power is ready to
use and outputs turn on.
4.After 45-60 seconds the output will feed power to the
RV breaker panel.
5.If the Output shuts off and power to the RV/house/
boat is off, that indicates a Power Alert related to
Current, Voltage or any other fault that has occurred.
The Mobile App will show the cause of the shutdown.
The unit will automatically reset and turn on the
outputs after a 2-3 minute delay.

Performance
The ActiveStart is a unique device that is installed in series with
the loads. This is quite different from a standard softstart that is
wired directly to a motor and only has one function which is to
start the motor.
The ActiveStart responds to an inductive load which generates a
large spike in current and quickly current limits the device while
initiating a softstart of the load. This is done without disturbing
other appliances that are currently running on the same power
source.
