containing a 30-amp main breaker and 15 and/or 20-
amp branch circuit breakers. These breakers interrupt
the power if the rated current is exceeded. If a breaker
trips repeatedly, reduce the load on that circuit and
have the system checked by your Lance dealer.
POWER CONVERTER
Switching from 120-volt AC power to 12-volt DC power
is automatic when the power cord is plugged in or the
generator is on. This powers the 12-volt panel board
and the connected circuits are protected by the
installed fuses. Battery charging is automatic when
plugged into 120-volt AC power. The converter has
reverse battery circuitry to prevent damage if the
battery is accidentally connected in reverse. There are
two 30 amp ATC fuses located in the front of the
converter, which are accessed by removing the
louvered grill located next to the power distribution
center.
These fuses protect the power converter from
accidental shorting of the power cables at the battery
or reverse polarity caused by accidental cross
connecting the battery. Remember
BLACK is
POSITIVE (+), WHITE is NEGATIVE (-).
The power converter has a cooling fan that will run at
appropriate times to cool the converter.
NOTE: Should the converter shutdown during normal
operation, heat may be the cause. The converter has a
built-in automatic-reset thermal breaker that will reset
after a cooling off period. If this occurs frequently, your
dealer or qualified personnel should correct the
problem. Be sure not to store items in front of the vent
openings.
CHARGE WIZARD
Your power converter has an integrated Charge
Wizard that monitors battery voltage and battery use.
It selects from different charge voltages and operating
modes to provide a safe, rapid battery recharge and
prevents water loss during periods of storage.
Depending on the discharged level of the battery, the
Charge Wizard will either select the Boost, Normal or
Storage Mode to properly maintain the battery charge.
Every 21 hours while operating in the Storage Mode,
the Charge Wizard is automatically switched to the
Equalizing Mode. The Equalizing Mode increases the
charging voltage for 15 minutes which helps prevent
problems with battery sulfation which leads to
premature battery failure.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects the
bathroom, galley, and patio 120-volt receptacles. This
device is intended to protect you against the hazards of
line to ground electric faults and electrical leakage
shocks possible when using appliances in damp areas.
NOTE: The GFCI device does not prevent electrical
shock. It does not protect a person who comes in
contact with both the “hot” and “neutral” sides of the
circuit. It does not protect you against electrical
overload.
TEST the GFCI at least once a month while operating
on 120-volt AC power. To test the GFCI:
Push the TEST button. The RESET button should pop
out, indicating that the protected circuit has been
disconnected.
If the reset button does not pop out when the test
button is pushed, a loss of ground fault protection is
indicated. Do not use the outlet or other outlets on the
same circuit. Have the camper electrical system
checked out at an authorized Lance Dealer Service
Center. Do not use the system until the problem has
been corrected.
To restore power, push the RESET button.
NOTE: If the bathroom, galley or patio receptacles don’t
work, check the GFCI. Reset the button if necessary. If
the GFCI continues to trip, have the camper electrical
system checked at an authorized Lance Dealer Service
Center or by a qualified electrician.
