Power Outlets Description and Operation

12 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Description and Operation The 12 V accessory power receptacles are supplied with power by the accessory relay. The vehicle is fitted with a cigarette lighter and/or with a 12 V accessory power receptacle. The cigarette lighter and accessory power outlets are controlled by an ignition operated relay. The accessory power receptacle and cigarette lighter are operational when the ignition is turned to either the On or the Accessories positions. To operate the cigarette lighter, press in the lighter knob. When the element is hot, the lighter automatically pops out and is ready for use. 110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Description Power Outlets Block Diagram T1 Accessory DC/ AC Power

110V AC The alternating current (AC) accessory power outlet system consists of the accessory DC/AC power inverter module and the accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery power to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) AC power to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC provides the usual connection for AC powered devices. 110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Operation The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle – 110 V AC after a 1.5 s delay. The accessory AC power system is protected against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground. 110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Isolation Fault Protection The accessory DC/AC power inverter module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI monitors the 110 V circuit for a short to vehicle chassis ground. If a 110 V AC short to ground is detected, the accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF, until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 s delay. 110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Overload Shutdown The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the current in the 110 V circuit is greater than 3.8 A for 1 s , or 2.5 A for 10 s . The module will turn ON again, when the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 s delay. 110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Internal Shutdown The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the B+ supply voltage is greater than 16.5 V or less than 11 V. The module will also turn OFF if the device temperature is greater than 85°C (185°F). The module will turn ON again, after the shutdown condition is corrected, and the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet. 230 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Description Power Outlets Block Diagram The alternating current (AC) accessory power outlet system consists of the accessory DC/AC power inverter module and the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery power to 220–230 V at 50 Hertz (Hz) AC power to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory power receptacle – 220V AC provides the usual connection for AC powered devices. 230 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Operation The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle – 220V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 220–230 V AC to the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC after a 1.5 second delay. The accessory AC power system is protected against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground. 230 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Isolation Fault Protection The accessory DC/AC power inverter module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI monitors the 230 V circuit for a short to vehicle chassis ground. If a 230 V AC short to ground is detected, the accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF, until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 s delay. 230 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Overload Shutdown The accessory AC/DC power control module will turn OFF if the current in the 230 V circuit is greater than 3.8 A for 1 second, or 2.5 A for 10 seconds. The module will turn ON again, when the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 second delay. 230 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Internal Shutdown The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the B+ supply voltage is greater than 16.5 V or less than 11 V. The module will also turn OFF if the device temperature is greater than 85°C (185°F). The module will turn ON again, after the shutdown condition is corrected, and the AC powered device is unplugged from the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC, and then plugged into the accessory power receptacle – 220V AC. USB Receptacle Description and Operation (USS) The vehicle is fitted with USB charge port receptacles at the rear of the floor console. These USB receptacles are for charging devices only. The USB receptacles are controlled by an ignition operated relay and are operational when the ignition is turned to either the On or the Accessories positions.
