Section 6: Electrical System
Normal Mode:
Green LED flashes once per second; battery is between 50% and 90%
charged. Green LED flashes 2-3 times per second; battery is 90% charged. Output voltage
is 13.6VDC and the converter is safely completing the charge of the battery.
Boost Mode:
Green LED is on solid. Output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the bat-
tery up to 90% of full charge.
Storage Mode
: Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. Output voltage has been reduced to
13.2VDC; the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.
Manual Mode (not recommended):
The manual mode button is used to override the
charge wizard. Refer to the converter owner’s manual for additional information.
Reverse Battery Protection:
Reverse polarity fuse(s) provide protection for the converter
when a battery is used. If the battery is connected backwards to the fuse board a fuse will
blow preventing damage to the converter. Four easily accessible fuses are located next to
the wizard button. Replace with fuses of the same type and rating.
12-volt DC System
Your motor home lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC system is com-
posed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:
The house batteries power all interior 12-volt components including the lighting
fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc., when the motor
home is not connected to a 120-volt power source.
12-volt DC power is supplied when the shore power cord is plugged into a 120-
volt external power source. House batteries will be charged also in most situa-
tions.
Power is supplied by the chassis alternator when the chassis engine is running.
12-Volt Fuse Panel
The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions and the components pow-
ered. Fuses are located in the load center.
Replacing a Fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical components protected by it.
1.
Disconnect the shore power cord.
2.
Inverter should be OFF.
3.
Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
4.
Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
5.
Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the original
location.
The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. Fuses will
not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.
12-Volt DC Outlet
There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the
12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appli-
ance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of
power.
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type.
Never use a higher rated replacement fuse;
doing so may cause a fire by
overheating the RV wiring.
