There’s a lot of H-itis going on here. Congrats Larry and Diane on you new ’05 Liberty. She’s a beaut! 😉 Please tell me it’s not located in British Columbia, CN! LOL! 🙂

Keep looking. Dick’s announcement kind of oozed out. The one I am talking about is right on this thread.

Congratulations on the new bus, how was your purchase experience, what type of things did you have to do or will do to zero it out.
May many safe & joyous miles be in you and Nancy’s future.

Ed,
It looks like the AGS is the Xanbus AGS unit designed for
the SW family of inverter/chargers.
Given this and the MV batteries communicate over a network, it’s
possible that some message delivery and possibly protocol translation occurs between the
MV and Xantrex. If not, then the AGS is
set to trigger on a given voltage. You
can scroll through the current settings on the AGS unit and see what it’s set for. BTW, most of the pages in the AGS manual deal with the ways of wiring and controlling the many generators that are supported. You can skip these pages.My bet is that if they don’t have the AGS and batteries
communicating over the network, then they may be faking one of the temperature
triggers. Sure, they could use the voltage for the trigger. If given the choice, I would opt for the State of Charge being the trigger. The battery voltage will drop pretty quickly once it begins to drop. I can see them putting in a
relay that is triggered by the battery’s state of charge and using that relay
to trigger the AGS temperature trigger.I’d be interested in how they have this set-up once you figure it out.
After spending some time in the MV battery and control manuals, it appears they have a pretty well thought out product.
Given the complexity of Li-ion batteries, I’m a bit
surprised they didn’t use the MV Combi inverter/chargers that could have communicated
with the batteries to ensure the charge only when required. Also MV has a multitude of network conversion
boxes to talk to other network protocols and even support for relay contacts. -
I appreciate all the replies so far. I do not have OTR a/c but the dash a/c seems to work fine whether the light is on or not. Even when it does come on, it does not last long at all…maybe a few minutes at the most.
If you are having this issue Tom, I would be happy to hear what the diagnosis is after your coach has been checked out.
As always, appreciate everyone’s help and insight.

Jon when my DDEC 3 went bad it caused the gauges to do funny things the battery inside it was dead could that be the problem?
-
It is likely DDEC II.

I had this on a. 2008 shell. Prevost checked it many times changed an expansion valve recharged it it was better but I occanisionsly had to turn off the dash AC for 5 minutes and reset it. I had an issue at Prevost in NJ they reset the multiplex system and all was well for a while. It may not be anything but a qurick. Lots of warranty hours and expense never really nailed it. For what’s it worth.

OTR or driver’s air only?

Great job David good luck with the coach BC is great
-
Congrats on the new coach, sounds like you and your dad had a great trip. Did you find a coach with bunks. Did you do a private sale.

Looks good.

All,
We do not have a bus at this time, but did stupid stuff in a Class A. We purchased a 03 Country Coach Intrique and the day before or maiden trip we went to the storage unit to check over the coach. Pulled it out of the storage unit and forgot to unhook the 50 amp cord. Tore the 50 amp cord out of the coach.Of course this was on 4th of July weekend. Canceled the trip and on Monday made an appoinment to take the coach and get repaired. As I was leaving the storage facility I hit the fence and tore a two foot gash in the fiber glass. The fiber glass repair plus paint was more than the 50 amp cord repair.
Had a blow on the passenger side rear tire on the tow. When the tire blew it took out the shock and part of the plastic fender. A volunteer fireman finally got my attention and helped with the repairs. His brother was the sheriff of the next town and he had already called him to let him know we where headed his direction and we where in distress. The sheriff told his brother that he had deputies looking for us. Situation ended well, spend the better part of the next day having Sears replace/repair the shock and tire.
