General Information
The CP-12/16/24 Power Pack System converts 120 volts AC line power to 12 volts DC for operation of lights, pumps, fans
and other 12 volt devices. It includes AC circuit breaker(s) for appliance and receptacle overload protection and Ground
Fault Circuit Interruption (GFCI) for personal protection against shock hazards. It also contains protection against DC
overloads and high temperatures. A switch is provided to operate DC devices from either the converter or a standard 12-volt
deep-cycle battery.
Operation: CP-12/16 Series
To operate DC devices from the converter, connect the shore-line cord to an appropriate AC source, then manually switch the
unit to the “Converter” position. DC devices may also be operated from a battery, if installed, by manually switching the
unit to “Battery”. Manually switch the unit to “Off” when RV is not in use to prevent accidental discharge of the battery.
Operation: CP-24 Series
To operate DC devices from the converter, connect the shore-line cord to an appropriate AC source. The converter will
automatically connect the devices to the converter. DC devices will operate from a battery, if installed, when AC power is
not available. Disconnect the battery when the RV is not in use to prevent accidental discharge of the battery.
AC Circuit Breaker(s)
A magnetric circuit breaker is provided for AC device overload protection. If a device or appliance fails to operate, the
circuit may have been overloaded. The breaker is reset by switching “off” and then back “on”. If a “T” option has been
installed, two circuit breakers are available – the converter is internally connected to the 15 amp breaker.
DC Circuit Fuses
Fuses are used to provide overload protection of the DC wiring system. After the cause of the overload has been corrected,
replace with an automotive-style fuse of the proper rating as labeled on the front of the converter. USE ONLY PROPERLY
RATED FUSES.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
A GFCI provides protection against faulty wiring or accidental contact
with AC power. If all AC and DC devices are inoperative, check the
GFCI by pressing the “Reset” button on the device – it should “trip”.
Reset the device as described above. Test GFCI monthly.
DISCONNECT SHORE-LINE CORD FROM POWER IF GFCI FAILS
TEST. Use of this power pack system with faulty GFCI can lead to
injury or death.
Care/Tips
Although Carson Power Pack Systems are designed for years of carefree
operation with no maintenance, the following suggestions can help assure
years of trouble-free service:
Turn off or unplug AC appliances before connecting shore-line cord to
AC source. This can prevent excessive wear to the GFCI and power
relay contacts to due power surges.
Turn off or unplug AC appliances during electrical (lightning) storms and
thunderstorms. This can prevent excessive wear to the GFCI and power
relay contacts due to power surges from power interruptions. For
complete protection from electrical surges, disconnect the shore-line cord
during these storms.
The circuit breaker(s) can be used as a switch to turn on and off AC
power as well as power to the converter. The GFCI can also be “tripped”
by pressing the “Test” button to turn off all power output on the “R” and
“S” option Power Pack Systems.
The pulsating DC output of the Power Pack System is unfiltered and not
suitable for some 12VDC electronic devices. Stereos, LP gas detectors,
carbon monoxide detectors, AM/FM/TV signal amplifiers, 12-volt
televisions, etc., should be connected directly to the RV battery. RV
refrigerators with 12-volt elements should also be connected directly to
the RV battery.
This series of Power Pack Systems does not provide any RV (deep-cycle)
battery charging capabilities. If an RV battery is installed it can be
charged by a commonly available battery charger or by a tow vehicle
provided the vehicle and RV are appropriately wired. A charger is
available to allow charging from the converter output.
If a battery is installed, it should be disconnected when the RV is not
used for extended periods to prevent accidental discharge. You may also
remove the DC fuses. For maximum battery life, always store the
battery fully charged in a cool, dry location. Do not set on concrete, and
follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
