WATER PUMP
Select the WATER PUMP button to run the on-board water
pump.
Ensure there is water in the fresh water holding tank before
engaging the water pump. The water pump should not be
turned on when the motorhome is connected to city water.
It’s recommended that you turn off the water pump when
the water system is not in use or when you are going to be
away from your motorhome.
TANK LEVEL PANEL
The FRESH, GREY and BLACK tank levels measure in 25%
increments.
The propane tank (LPG) levels will read in a single percentage.
CLIMATE CONTROL CENTER
The CLIMATE CONTROL CENTER displays the inside
temperature and the desired temperature in the center column.
The actual inside temperature of the coach is displayed in black
above the desired temperature. The desired temperature can
be set with the use of the red and blue arrows. The blue arrow
will allow you to lower the desired temperature. The red arrow
will raise the desired temperature.
Use the MODE buttons on the left to select the desired item
that you want to operate. You can select:
FURNACE, VENT or AIR CONDITIONER.
These devices are thermostatically controlled.
NOTE: MODE buttons display in light blue when activated.

In the furnace mode (FURN)
If the desired temperature is above the interior temperature
the furnace will engage and warm the coach to the desired
temperature. At the desired temperature the furnace
will cycle off. If the temperature drops below the desired
temperature the furnace will cycle back on. Ensure that the
propane switch on the exterior of the coach is in the ON
position.
NOTE: Ensure that the fan speed on the right side of the
red and blue arrow is set to FAN AUTO. If there is 110 volt
available and the fan is left on high or low, the fan in the AC
will engage during the furnace mode.
In the VENT mode
If the desired temperature is below the interior temperature,
the roof vent fan will open and the fan will engage. The fan will
run at high speed until the interior temperature reaches the
desire temperature. When the interior temperature reaches
the desired temperature the fan will shut off, however the vent
lid will remain open. The fan will cycle off and on to keep the
desired temperature.
In the A/C mode
110 volt power from a shore line or from the generator must
be present to activate the air conditioner. In the A/C mode
if the desired temperature is below the interior temperature
the roof top A/C will engage to cool the interior of the coach.
The FAN HIGH, FAN LOW and FAN AUTO are used to control
the air conditioner fan speed. If the FAN HIGH or FAN LOW is
chosen the air conditioner fan will continue to run while the air
conditioner compressor will cycle on and off.
If FAN AUTO is chosen the air conditioner fan will cycle
on and off a short time before, and a short time after the
air conditioner compressor engages, to keep the desired
temperature.
NOTE: The FAN HIGH, FAN LOW and FAN AUTO are used to
control the air conditioner fan speed only. These controls
will not affect the roof vent or the furnace fan speeds.

BATTE RY VOLTAGE
This gauge displays the battery voltage. The battery voltage
will vary depending on the load. The battery voltage will
change depending on the amount of charge the battery is
receiving from the solar panel, engine alternator, or the
inverter/charger.
GENERATOR START/STOP
These buttons will start and stop your generator. Touch and
hold the button to start the generator. There will be a slight
delay before the starter engages.
You also can monitor the number of hours that the generator
has operated. This is important for service.
LOSS/GAIN AMPERAGE METER
The loss/gain amperage meter will allow you to monitor the
amount of draw on the coach batteries. This allows the user
to balance out power use and will enhance the dry camping
experience. The amperage readings will vary depending on the
number of appliances in use, and the amount of charge going
into the coach.

5
AUTOMATIC GENERATOR START
The automatic generator start (AGS) can be used to charge the
coach batteries and/or for climate control in your coach.
To enable AGS for the Ascent, Plateau, and Plateau XL
models, the LP switch must be in the ON position and the LP
tank must have adequate fuel. To enable AGS on the Lexor
models there must be at least ¼ tank of gasoline.
Select the AGS button to enable the automatic generator
start function. A display will appear with a warning and
instructions. AGS will not engage if you do not cycle the
ignition to the run position within the allotted time or if you
touch CANCEL on the screen.
NOTE: The ignition should only remain in the run position
for less than 10 seconds otherwise AGS will be disabled.
Select the SETTINGS button to set the parameters for
Auto Generator Start.
After selecting the SETTINGS button you will have a choice
between EASY SETUP or MANUAL SETUP.
WARNING:Do not use the automatic generator start if
you are plugged into shore power, or if you are in an area
where running the generator is prohibited.

GENERATOR RUN LIMITS
This page will enable you to set the parameters for run time
for the air conditioner settings. Once the air conditioner has
brought the coach down to the chosen temperature and cycled
off, the generator should continue to run for ten minutes.
It will also allow you to set the maximum run time for the
generator.
Use the + and – buttons to adjust the settings.
Select the NEXT button to continue.
AGS EASY SETUP
Select EASY SETUP for a quick set up of the start parameters.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
The first page displayed will ask when you want the generator
to auto start. Select the boxes to check or uncheck the reason
to enable.
Select the NEXT button to continue.
STARTING CONDITIONS FOR LOW BATTERY
This page will enable you to set the voltage and the period
of time below that voltage, where you want your generator
to start. The generator when running will charge the coach
batteries through the inverter/charger.
Use the + and – buttons to adjust the settings.
Select the NEXT button to continue.
