Section 6: Electrical System

12-Volt DC System

The majority of your recreation vehicle lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-

volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions

are met:



Power is supplied by the tow vehicle alternator when the engine is running and the

7-way trailer plug is connected. This powers the RV’s running lights, brake lights,

turn signals and brakes. In addition, the 7-way trailer plug provides a common

ground and a 12-volt charge line to charge the auxiliary battery.



The converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the power cord is

plugged into campground power. The converter will also charge the RV battery in

most situations (refer to

Battery Disconnec

t).



The auxiliary battery powers many interior 12-volt components including the

lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. It also pow

ers the breakaway switch.

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.

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.

For detailed information on operation and safety, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s

manual.

Converter With Charge Wizard (if so equipped)

Some converters may be equipped with a charge wiz-

ard. There are (3) possible charging modes; NORMAL,

BOOST and STORAGE. The charge wizard will auto-

matically select the best mode to charge your battery. A

green LED next to the wizard mode button will indicate

by flashes, which mode is currently being used.

NORMAL MODE:

Green LED flashes once per sec

ond; battery is between 50% and 90% charged. Green

LED will flash 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 volt-

age is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the battery up to 90%

of full charge.

STORAGE MODE

: Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. Output voltage has been re

duced to 13.2VDC; the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.

MANUAL MODE (Not recommended):

The wizard 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.
