Multiplex Controls on Entegra Coach

MULTIPLEX LIGHTING AND SHADE CONTROL (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The multiplex lighting and shade control system operates most interior lights,

exterior lights, power day shades, and power night shades. This system allows

controlled lights and shades to be operated from multiple locations throughout the

coach. It is programmed to allow the operation of multiple lights or multiple shades

as a grouping and/or as individual components.

Switch functionality

The “Main Power” switch located adjacent the entry steps must be turned “on” to

enable operation of the multiplex lighting and shade control system.

Wall mounted switches controlled by the multiplex system are intended for use as

follows:

1. Turn fixed intensity lights “on” by momentarily pressing the right side of the

appropriate switch. Turn fixed intensity lights “off” by momentarily pressing the

left side of the switch.

2. Turn dimmable lights “on” to the intensity that they were outputting during the

previous “on” cycle by momentarily pressing the right side of the appropriate

switch. Brighten the lights by holding the right side of the switch down until the

appropriate lighting intensity is obtained. Dim the lights by holding the left

side of the switch down until the appropriate lighting intensity is obtained.

Turn dimmable lights “off” by momentarily pressing the left side of the switch.

3. Turn all interior lights “on” to the intensity that they were outputting during the

previous “on” cycle by momentarily pressing the right side of the “Light

Master” switch. Turn all interior lights “off” by momentarily pressing the left

side of the switch.

4. Extend power shades by momentarily pressing the down “arrow” (left side) of

the appropriate switch. A second momentarily press of the same down

“arrow” on the switch will stop shade operation.

5. Retract power shades by momentarily pressing the up “arrow” (right side) of

the appropriate switch. A second momentarily press of the same up “arrow”

on the switch will stop shade operation.

NOTE: Operation of front cab area power shades is limited or disabled when

the chassis ignition key is turned to the “on” position. This feature prevents
unintended shade extension while driving.
