GENERAL INFORMATION
WF-9800 Series Converter-Charger Safety Features
Reverse Battery Protection
The WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers will charge the 12-volt house battery if installed.
A battery does not have to be installed for WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers operation.
When a battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses are installed to protect the converter
circuitry. The fuses are located on the rear panel of the enclosure near the AC power cord
(refer to Figure 2 below). This feature prevents permanent damage to the converter from a
battery connected into the circuit backwards. In addition to protecting the converter-
charger, the reverse polarity fuses are the main connection between the converter-charger
and the DC fuse board of a distribution center.
