All the answers sound a little confusing to me
but that's probably just me :).
If you have the EMS installed in the camper when you plug in the shore power the EMS remote readout shows it's information. No power will be forwarded to the breaker panel in the camper until the EMS delay times out then things will power up. Usually easiest to tell when by just watching the micro wave oven display.
Any time the shore power is interrupted the time delay goes into effect.
In talking with the Coleman Company Tech about the air conditioner while installing my EMS last year he said that Coleman does not install a time delay in the compressor circuit in the AC so I should use the longest time delay available on the EMS to protect the ac compressor. So that is what I did, not really all that long of a wait.
Does that sound correct to you all?
