Ours never shows 50 either.. 20, or 30, but can be set to 50 with the button.
BOTH of these posts are not correct. There is NO WAY an Intellitec 50 amp EMS will show anything other than 50 amp service if on TRUE 50 amp service. If the Intellitec shows 50 amp,
1. YOU CANNOT change the service to 30 or 20
2. The AMP readout will NOT be on.
The 2nd poster has a Newmar, you CANNOT select 50 amp on a Intellitec EMS system.
The First poster, If you have never seen 50 amp, then 1. You have never been on TRUE 50 amp service, or your EMS system is malfunctioning. As another poster stated, you MUST have ALL the Circuit breakers in your main panel ON, because 2 of those breakers supply 120 power to the EMS board and those 2 leads are out of phase (each must be from the separate 120 legs coming in to the RV). IF either of those leads is dead, then the EMS system will function like it is on 30 amp even if you are on 50 amp. A COMMON problem with malfunctioning EMS systems is, the wiring has been modified over the years by someone that did not know what they were doing, and the system cannot see the 50 amp service and operate accordingly. I had a customer that kept complaining that he could never get the 50 amp system to function. Each time I reset the Washer/Dryer breaker. He kept turning the breaker OFF (he did not have a washer/dryer). I asked him after the 3rd trip in why he kept turning that breaker OFF. He stated he turned it off because he did not have a washer/dryer. Well, THAT breaker was one of the 2 that supplied power to the EMS board. Once he left it ON, his EMS then functioned. Doug
