PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The consists of two elements: the and the Model
800 The Display Panel is mounted on a wall, or suitable surface remotely from the Distribution Panel
and convenient to the user The Model 800 Distribution Panel is a completely self-contained 120/240 volt power
distribution and energy management system intended to be used in recreational vehicles. It is housed in a sheet metal
enclosure with removable front panel providing circuit protection for all the 120 VAC loads in the RV and a system of energy
management to minimize the over-loading and tripping of circuit breakers. In addition, the Model 800 Distribution Panel
incorporates a sub-panel to accommodate inverter/converter connected loads.
The 50 Amp Smart EMS Model 800 automatically senses the available power to the vehicle and determines whether it is
connected to a 120 VAC - 30 Amp shore power source, 240 VAC - 50 Amp shore power source, or Generator source.
Depending upon available power, it controls the operation of 6 possible loads that may include: the front and rear air
conditioner fan and compressor using low voltage switching and other 120 Volt loads, such as the refrigerator, water heater,
washer/dryer, microwave oven, or other large appliances. These appliances may be any type load, but are typically
heavier loads, those whose use can be “postponed” until a time when current is available for their use. If the available power
source is 120 VAC - 30 Amp shore power, it attempts to keep the total 120 volt current draw to less than 30Amps.

The provides main circuit protection for 120/240 VAC single-phase incoming lines and
branch circuit protection for up to 12 circuits, including Energy Management of up to six selected branch circuits. A sub-
panel is available on the Model 800 for up to 6 sub-breakers for inverter connected loads. If 120 VAC - 30/20 Amp source is
available, the control helps to limit the total current draw of all the appliances in the RV at or below 30/20 Amps provided by
the main power feed.
Circuit protection for ALL the 120 VAC loads is offered by standard, reset-able circuit breakers, provided by the installer.
There are eight positions available for circuit breakers on the Main Distribution Panel. The breakers located in the two
center stab positions must be 50 Amp breakers to act as the main breakers for the entire system. These breakers back-
feed power into the circuit breaker bus to feed power to the branch breakers. The remaining six positions on the Main
Distribution Panel may be occupied by single or dual units. All the loads in the RV, including the inverter/converter, are fed
from the branch breakers. The 120 VAC output of the inverter is fed to a sub-panel containing three positions that may be
occupied by single or dual units
The utilizes Intellitec’s RV Multiplex/PMC (Programmable Multiplex Control)
System as the communications link between the l and the As an additional diagnostic
feature, the system includes two Communication Status LED’s on the Control Module. In normal operation, when the
is configured in the Stand-Alone Mode, or as the RV Multiplex system, the green “IPX OK” LED should be
lit and the red “IPX Fail” LED should not be lit.
Utilizing the RV Multiplex/PMC system, the Smart EMS System can:
1) Operate as a Stand-Alone system.
2) Operate as a RV Multiplex System Master in a RV Multiplex System, allowing other devices such as
Inverter/converters, input and output modules, and switch panels, to communicate with each other and the Smart
EMS System.
3) Operate as a PMC Transceiver with the addition of a PMC Central Processing Unit (CPU).
The main neutral line is routed through the magnetically coupled current sensor, which measures the current flowing
through the neutral line. This is the total amount being drawn by all the 120 volt appliances in the RV when the available
power service is 120 VAC. When this current exceeds the "shore" service rating of 30 Amps (20 Amps if the threshold has
been set lower or the generator service rating and 240 VAC service is not available, the will turn off
the controlled loads in an effort to bring the total current to the limit of the incoming service.

OPERATION IN VEHICLES USING AVAILABLE SERVICE
The system offers control of up to six powered loads; each one connected to one of the relay circuits of the
system. Four of these relays, relays 1, 2, 3, and 4, are 30 Amp relays with normally-open contacts used to interrupt the
120 volt power to the loads. These circuits are intended to control 120 volt appliances such as refrigerator, water heater,
washer/dryer, coffee maker, etc.
For the 120 VAC switched loads, power is routed from the individual branch circuit breakers to one of these 120 VAC relays on
the Control Module. The controlled load is then fed from that relay.
The remainder of the relays, relays 5 and 6, are intended to switch low voltage loads. Relays 5 and 6 are single-pole, double-
throw relays with all contacts available. These relays are intended to control air conditioners, or other appliances equipped
with low voltage controls or thermostats. The contacts of the relays are typically wired in series with the low voltage controls, or
thermostats of air conditioners so the turns off only the compressor, or the compressor and fan. These circuits could also
control other 120 volt appliances if an additional control relay is added externally.
TM
The is turned on by the presence of 120VAC, or 240VAC at the L1 or L2 inputs (J6, pin 3 and 1 respectively). This feature
is intended to prevent the from drawing excessive current from the +12 VDC battery supply when not in operation.
When 120 VAC or 240 VAC power is applied, the system automatically powers up and determines the nature of the power
source.
If the generator is running, a +12 VDC signal will be present at J2 pin 2 on the Control Module.
If 240 VAC exists between the L1 and L2 inputs, the energy management feature is disabled and all control relay contacts are
closed, energizing all of the controlled loads. The Control Module sends a signal to the Display Module which causes the load
meter to go blank, and all power status indicators to light. If the generator is running, the GEN SET service indicator will light,
otherwise the 50Aservice indicator on the Display Module will light.
If the L1 and L2 inputs are at the same voltage (0 Volts between L1 and L2 and 120 VAC between either L1 or L2 and Neutral)
the Control Module sends a signal to the Display Module causing the load meter to display actual load current and the GEN
SET service indicator to light. If the Genset EMS feature is not enabled all loads will be turned on, independent of the
load rating of the generator, and all power status indicators will light. If the Gen Set EMS featured is enabled ,
loads will turn ON until the load rating of the generator is reached and the status indicators for those loads will light.
If 120 VAC is present at the L1 and L2 inputs and +12 VDC signal is present at J2 pin 2 on the Control Module, the will
assume that 120 VAC, 30 Amp shore power is available and the energy management feature will be enabled. If only 20 Amp
service is available, the user by momentarily pressing the 20/30 Amp select switch on
the Control Panel.
Initially, the control turns all loads on with a one-second interval and the total current is monitored. If the total current should
exceed the service limit, the system will turn off the first load in the shedding table. As it turns the loads off, it calculates the
amount of current that was removed, which is the value for that load. This value is placed in memory. If the current remains
above the service limit, the system will turn off the next load in the shedding table. Again, it calculates the amount of current
that was removed and places the value for that load in memory. The system continues to turn off loads until the total current
falls below the service limit, or all of the six controlled loads have been shed. Through this process, the system has "learned"
the amount of current that each particular load draws. This feature compensates for the differences in current draw over a
range of line voltage and ambient temperature, by re-learning the load each time it is turned off, or "shed".
The now waits until the total current is lower than the service limit and enough current is available
before it will turn that load back on. This assures that there is
sufficient current to operate the load.
There is a period after a load is shed before the load can be turned back on again, to
prevent air conditioners from turning on with a head of pressure. During this delay period, if there is enough current
available to energize the load, the LED status indicator for that load will flash. After the delay period expires, the load
will be energized and the indicator will turn ON.

DISPLAY PANEL
The Display Panel can be mounted remotely and connects to the main unit with a light gauge, three-wire cable. Six Power
Status LED's indicate power is applied to those loads. These LED's are ON when the power is applied. If 120 VAC service
is available, the Load Meter has a two-digit display to indicate the amount of current actually being drawn by all the
appliances in the coach. If 240 VAC service is available, the two-digit loadmeter goes blank.
Four service type LED's indicate the source for 120/240 VAC power. Three of these sources are automatically detected
and indicated by the , namely; Gen Set service, 50Amp 240 VAC service, and 30 Amp 120 VAC service.
When 120 VAC shore power is first applied, the system will always be in the 30 Amp mode.
The 30/20 Amp indicator LED will be ON when the system is in the 30 Amp mode.
The 20 Amp service mode is not automatically detected. The operator must
manually select the 20 Amp mode, when 20 Amp service is available. The “Service
Select” button allows the current threshold to be set to either 30 Amps, or 20 Amps
to match the incoming service.
If the pictured adaptor is used on the incoming service, press the “Service Select”
button to select the 20Amp mode. Momentarily pressing this button again will switch the system back to the 30Amp mode.
The Display Panel can also be used to display the for each of the six loads. To display
the values of current stored in memory for each of the six loads, push and hold the Service Select button. The uppermost
LED will illuminate and the stored value will appear on the load meter. Pushing Service Select again, will cycle to the next
load. After the last stored value has been displayed, or if the Service Select button has not been pressed during a five
second period, the load meter will return to normal operation and display total current draw.

INSTALLATION
THE CONTROL MODULE
The first step when installing an EMS, is to determine which loads will be controlled and in what order they will be shed. A
typical scheme would be to control the two air conditioners, the water heater and the washer/dryer. With these loads, the first
load to be shed should be the water heater, as it's loss of operation would be the least noticed
The next would be the bedroom air, the third, the washer dryer and finally the main air. Choosing this
sequence would provide the least inconvenience to the occupants. User discretionary loads, such as microwave ovens,
coffee pots, hair dryers, etc. considered as controlled loads.
The EMS Control Module has an eight position dip-switch on the board to configure the features active in the system. The
switches in positions 1 thru 3 determine the order of shedding of the loads . The switch in position 4
determines if the Gen set EMS feature is enabled. The switch in position 5 establishes the rating of the generator. Additional
switches in positions 6 thru 8 are reserved for future control configurations.
These dip-switches are all preset to “ON” at the factory. Changing the setting of S1-1, S1-2, or S1-3 will alter the order of
shedding to suit the particular need of the installation. The following tables will assist in determining the proper settings for
S1 thru S3. Dip-switch S4 determines if energy management is enabled when 120 VAC Gen-Set service is available. If S4 is
in the “on” position, energy management will be disabled, but the Display Panel will still display total system current. If S4 is
in the “OFF” position, energy management will be enabled and the current rating of the Gen-Set needs to be selected using
dip-switch S5. With S5 set to the “ON” position, system current drawn from the generator will be limited to 45 Amps. With S5
set to the “OFF” position, system current drawn from the generator will be limited to 60Amps.

SHEDDING ORDER DETERMINATION
First, fill in the blanks with the names of the loads you want the system to shed, in the order they are to be shed, with the first
to be shed at the top. Then, fill in the second "Load Type" column with an "A" or a "D". "A" for a 120 VAC controlled load
such as a washer/dryer, or "D" for DC controlled load, such as a thermostat wire. You can select a maximum of 4 AC and 2
DC relays.
Starting February 23, 2007 (Julian date code 05407), position 7 has been defined for a 3rd air option feature (previously a
reserved position). When position 7 is in the off position, the 3rd air option is enabled. When position 7 is in the on position
,the 3rd air option is disabled. When the 3rd air option is enabled, the functionality of this option is as follows:
When service is 30 Amps or less, relay 1 disabled (off state) where relay 1 has been wired for a 3rd air conditioning unit.
Also, the LED on the display unit will be off for relay 1.
The 00-00903-XYZ displays have had a recent software update to allow the decoding of the relay 1 led indicator.
Displays date coded after Feb. 5, 2007 will have this software update. Intellitec Julian Date code of 030607 or newer. Julian
date code is the following: first three digits are number of days into the year and the last digits is the year.
Next, looking across the other eight columns, find the one that matches the "Load Type" column you just filled in. Using the
number at the top of the column, look in the table below to determine the settings of the three switches, S1-1, S1-2, and
S1-3. An "ON" means the switch should be closed and an "OFF" means the switch should be open.
At the bottom of each column is the Relay Shed Order. This determines which relays will be used for each load. The one at
the top of the column is first to be shed. The one below it will turn off next, and so forth. The loads be wired in this
order for the system to operate as desired.

DISTRIBUTION PANEL
The EMS Distribution Panel should be installed in a convenient location where it can get air circulation to keep it from over
heating. There should be a minimum of 7" of depth behind the mounting surface to provide enough room for the box and
wiring.
Cut a hole in the mounting panel as shown here:
Carefully cut opening, allowing enough wood to hold enough clearance around the box
for the front cover screws.
The wiring to the box should be routed through the holes in the back and secured using approved cable connectors. The
wires should be with the appropriate size and insulation to meet N.E.C. requirements.
The main supply cable should be brought through the large hole in the lower center of the box and secured with an
appropriate connector. The "LINE 1" and "LINE 2" supply mains should be connected to the corresponding Main Breaker.
The Main Ground lead should be connected to the nearest GROUND bar terminal strip. The current sensor should be
mounted in a knock-out hole near the insulated NEUTRAL block, so that the signal leads from the current sensor exit the
rear of the box. These signal wires should be routed through the lower right hole into the low voltage section of the EMS
and connected to J3 (a 2-pin connector on the low voltage side of the Control Module). The inverter/converter should be
wired so that the AC input to the inverter/converter is supplied via a branch breaker on the Main Distribution Panel and the
120 VAC output of the inverter/converter wired to the individual lug on the far right side of the sub-panel.
The Main NEUTRAL wire should be routed through the CURRENT SENSOR and connected to an appropriate position on
the insulated NEUTRAL block.
There are 8 positions for circuit breakers on the Main Distribution Panel and 3 positions for circuit breakers on the Sub-
Panel in the box. The circuit breakers can be single or dual types. The breakers in the two center positions of the Main
Distribution Panel be rated at 50Amps to be used as the Main Breakers.

The low voltage controlled load relay connections are typically made to the thermostat wires of the air conditioners. The
normally open contacts are wired in "series" with the thermostat. This means that the thermostat wire is cut and the two
ends are wired to the and the contacts of the relay/s. In this way, the EMS can interrupt the
operation of the compressor just as the thermostat does. The low voltage wires are brought into the box through the large
hole in the lower right-hand corner of the back of the box.
1) If only the compressors of the front and rear A/C's are to be controlled, connections are typically made to the low voltage
compressor control wires of the air conditioners. The contacts are wired in "series" with the
compressor control lead. This means that the compressor control wire is cut and the two ends are wired to the
and the contacts of Relay 5, or 6.
2) If both the compressors and fans of the front and rear A/C's are to be controlled, connections are typically made to the
low voltage thermostat control wires of the air conditioners. The contacts are wired in "series" with
each thermostat control lead. This means that the thermostat control wire is cut and the two ends are wired to the
and the contacts of Relay 5 or 6.
3) If the compressor and fan for one of the A/C systems are to be controlled individually, connections are typically made to
the individual low voltage thermostat control wires for the fan and compressor of the air conditioner. The Relay 6
connections are typically made to the low voltage compressor control wires of the air conditioner to control the
compressor. The contacts are wired in "series" with the compressor control lead. This means that the
low voltage compressor control wire is cut and the two ends are wired to the and the contacts
on Relay 6. The Relay 5 connections are typically made to the low voltage thermostat control wires of the air conditioner
to control the fan. The contacts are wired in "series" with the thermostat control lead. This means that
the low voltage thermostat control wire is cut and the two ends are wired to the and the
contacts on Relay 5.
Finally, on the Control Module, there is a small 2-pin plug, labeled J1, which is only used for the High Pot Test on the

installed behind the cover label. The cover label should be placed against the front panel and the trim bezel snapped on to
hold the label in place.
Plug the 4-pin plug into J5 on the EMS Control Module, insuring that it is fully seated and locked.
Cut a hole for the panel as shown:
,,
The wiring of the plug at the Control Module end determines the system configuration as follows:
No connection
PERFORMANCE TEST
The system is now ready for testing.
At the installers preference, to assure there are no potential shorts, a Hi-Pot test can be performed on the installation. To do
this, +12 volts must be applied to the system. A jumper wire must be installed to tie the two pins of the “Hi-Pot Test" plug, J1,
to turn the system ON without the presence of 120 volt power. This plug is located on the right side of the EMS Control
module. The relays on the module should be heard clicking as they pull in. On the Display Panel, the LED's should light
and the numeric display should read "0". The Hi-Pot test should now be conducted in accordance with standard
procedures for the tester being used. Assuming the system passes, the covers should be taken off and the jumper
removed from J1.
HI-POT TEST
If not, the problem must be corrected before proceeding further.

J4 = 6 pin Amp Mate-n-Lok connector - Control Relays 5 & 6 contacts
All the 120 volt loads should be turned off, or disconnected. Both 120 volt AC and 12 volt DC power should now be applied
to the system. When this is done, the relays should be heard pulling in. On the Display Panel, the numeric display should
read "0", the six Power Status LED's should come ON, and the "30 Amp" service type LED should light. A clamp-on type
ammeter should be used to measure the current being supplied by the 30Amp shore power cord.
Connect, or turn on one of the controlled AC loads. It should operate and the numeric display or the clamp-on ammeter
should show the amount of current that load is drawn. Turn that appliance off and repeat this with each of the others. To
test the load shedding, turn ON all the controlled appliances. The total current drawn should exceed 30 Amps.
When the total amount of current exceeds 30 Amps, the loads should
begin to turn off to bring the total below 30Amps.
- 5 Amp, ATO type, for EMS Control Module circuitry only. .
This could result in severe damage to the circuitry or create a possible fire hazard.

Both the EMS Control Module and Display Panel have internal protection.
Shorts, or mis-wiring, should not cause the units to fail.
Check wiring between generator run light circuit and J2, pin 2, on the EMS Control Module. J2, pin 2, should measure
12 VDC, or greater when generator is running and 0 VDC, otherwise.
Check to make sure that jumpers are present between any LINE 1 breaker and J6, terminal 3, and any LINE 2 breaker
and J6, terminal 1. Also, check that the "NEUTRAL" jumper is in place, between J6, terminal 5 and a position on
the NEUTRAL block.
With "50Amp" service available, the voltage between J6-3 and J6-1 should measure 240 VAC. With any other source,
the voltage between J6-3 and J6-1 should measure 0 VAC. In addition, the voltage measured between J6-3 and J6-5
should be 120 VAC and the voltage measured between J6-1 and J6-5 should be 120 VAC.
