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 volt
-
age 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 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.
12-volt DC System
The majority of your motorhome 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.
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.
The house batteries power many interior 12-volt components including the light-
ing fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc, when the mo
-
torhome 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 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
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.
