Section 6: Electrical System
Converter w/charge wizard (if so equipped)
Some converters may be equipped with a charge wizard There are (3) possible charging
modes; NORMAL, BOOST and STORAGE. The charge wizard will automatically 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 second; 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 voltage 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
reduced 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.
12-volt DC System
The majority of your motor home 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 chassis alternator when the chassis engine is running.
The power converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord
is plugged into a 120-volt external power source. The converter will also charge the
house batteries in most situations.
The house batteries power many interior 12-volt components including the lighting
fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc, when the motorhome is
not connected to a 120-volt power source.
12-Volt Fuse Panel
The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions and the components
powered.
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.
