CRY1942 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Has anyone replaced their Heart Freedom 2000, inverter/charger with a Magnum 2000 ? If so which Magnum did you use and any issues with the Monaco relays used in 1997 to transfer power from shore to inverter ? Thanks Charles 1997 Dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hey Charles, I used an Aim pure sine wave 2000 watt inverter when I replaced my Heart Freedom 2000. All the transfer switches, etc worked just like before the switch. Battery performance seems to be much better. Just got back from a 4 day boon dock and only ran the gen to charge about 6 hours per day. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRY1942 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks Jim I found it a bit curious that Monaco used relays to switch between shore power and inverter power, probably was cheaper than a second transfer box, but it seems to work OK.

Just Jim Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Mine may be different than yours. I've got one transfer box in the back and another down by the Inverter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRY1942 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) 97 Dynasty has one Transfer Box in lower bay for Shore and Generator transfer and uses "relays" as transfer devices located next to 120VAC breaker panel. The Relay Box serves the purpose of a "standard" transfer box for Inverter Power, just different I guess. Edited April 6, 2021 by CRY1942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Charles, frankly the electrical on these things has baffled me and I've never really understood much of it. That picture looks just like mine, so I don't really know if its a transfer switch, box or a relay. HaHa. Also, I think the inverter I put in says its got a transfer switch too. All I know is when I plug things in... they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRY1942 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Jim Took me a while to figure out the Relay Box, drop me a PM and happy to share what I know. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
