Setup and Installation
- Inspect Power Pedestal: Before connecting, visually inspect the RV power pedestal for any visible damage or hazards.
- Connect Surge Protector: Plug the Kohree RV Surge Protector directly into the 30A NEMA TT-30R receptacle of the RV power pedestal. Ensure a firm connection.
- Observe Display: Once plugged in, the LED display on the surge protector will illuminate. Observe the display for initial readings and any fault codes.
- Check Circuit Analysis: The device will perform a circuit analysis. If the display shows normal voltage and the green light is illuminated, the power source is safe. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' and 'Troubleshooting' sections for interpreting display codes.
- Connect RV: If the power source is deemed safe, plug your RV's 30A power cord into the receptacle on the Kohree RV Surge Protector.
