Expert Reply:

The acceptable power range for the Power Watchdog Surge Protector with Bluetooth - Portable - 50 Amp # HU47FR is between 104 volts - 132 volts, just like with the 30 amp # HU97FR. I recommend placing the low end at 109v and the high end 127v so that you have a 5v buffer to notify you before it gets out of the safe zone.

@TonyM The Watchdog warns you when the voltage coming from the outlet to your RV either falls below 109 volts or over 127v because if the voltage goes too high or low the appliance you're trying to run either won't have enough current to operate or will have too much, which can fry the electronics in the appliance. The Watchdog will cut the power going to the RV to separate it from the issue and light up to show you there's an error.
