Dometic RV AC Soft Start - DMC983HV

  • Hardwired
  • Single AC
  • Dometic
  • No Surge Protection

Your RV air conditioner needs a big surge of power every time the compressor starts. This Dometic SmartStart reduces that demand by up to 75%, helping your FreshJet 5 electronic AC start on smaller generators or compatible inverter systems.


Highlights

  • Run Your AC on a Smaller Generator: Up to 75% less startup demand can make a 2,000-watt generator possible.
  • Avoid Tripping Breakers: Reduces the compressor's initial power surge that can overload your RV's electrical supply.
  • Get Quieter Compressor Starts: Reduces the abrupt noise when your air conditioner cycles on.
  • Keep Your Existing Air Conditioner: Adds soft-start capability to compatible FreshJet 5 electronic models.
  • Spend Less Time on Wiring: Pre-wired connectors eliminate cutting and crimping during installation.

Features to know about

Run Your AC Without Upsizing Your Generator

Your generator might have enough power to run your RV air conditioner, but starting the compressor is another story. That initial surge can overload the generator or trip a breaker before the AC ever gets going. Dometic SmartStart reduces startup power demand by up to 75%, potentially allowing your AC to run on a generator as small as 2,000 watts or a compatible solar inverter. It doesn't reduce normal running power consumption, so your power source still needs enough capacity for the AC and anything else you're using.

Add Soft Starting to Your FreshJet 5

If you already have a Dometic FreshJet 5 air conditioner with electronic controls, you can add soft-start capability without replacing the AC. The hardwired SmartStart has pre-wired connectors, so installation doesn't require cutting or crimping wires. Its IP65-rated enclosure and weatherproof connectors help protect the electronics from dust and water. Professional installation is recommended.
