• The voltage should be within 13.8 and 14.0 volts.
(The meter of the tester should be calibrated
periodically.)
• If converter is not within these voltages, have it
serviced by a qualified technician or replace it.
A label on the inside of the converter door lists the
circuits and what each fuse powers.
Converter Operation
The electronic power converter is designed to
supply the nominal 12-volt-filtered DC power for
all 12-volt operated devices encountered in RV
service. Although the converter is an excellent
battery charger, the converter does not require a
battery to be connected to it for proper operation.
NOTE
When installing a battery (s), always observe
polarity. Connecting a battery in reverse polarity
will blow the power converter main fuses located
on the 12-volt DC distribution fuse block
120-Volt AC Panel Board
The AC panel board section contains the 120 VAC
branch circuit breakers for your RV. One of the
breakers controls the 120-volt power to the 12-volt
converter section. This breaker may also control
another branch circuit. Check the label next to each
breaker for what each branch circuit breaker
controls.
The 120-volt circuits may be turned on by setting
their breaker handle up, to the ON position, or off
by setting the handle down, to the OFF position. To
reset the tripped breaker, move handle to OFF then
ON.
The system incorporates GFCI breakers that
implement an auto self-test functionality. When
turned off, these breakers require external AC
power to be present, or the AC inverter enabled,
before they can be turned back on. If AC power is
present from one of these two sources, and the
breaker refuses to stay on consult an electrician or
certified RV technician.
Fuses and Breakers
Breakers
The distribution panel was
designed to use a 30 Amp
120Volt main breaker with
branch circuits. Double
breakers may be used for the branch circuits.
Should a breaker become faulty replace with the
same type breaker only. Use only approved circuit
breakers and 12V fuses.
NOTE
When replacing circuit & breakers replace with
the same type and rating as the original.
12 VDC Fuses
Each 12 VDC circuit in the
distribution panel was
designed for a maximum of
a 20-amp automotive style
fuse. Should one need to be
replaced, be sure to replace it with the same type
and Amp rating as originally supplied by nüCamp
RV. Replacing it with either a higher or lower Amp
fuse could result in the panel not functioning
properly.
Reverse Polarity Fuses
The power converter is equipped with reverse
polarity fuses, should these fuses “blow” either
during the manufacturing process or while
connecting the battery, replace with the same type
and rating fuse as originally provided with the
equipment.
The power converter is not weather resistant nor
designed for installation in wet locations. The
power converter must be protected from direct
contact with water.
