Section 6: Electrical System
If the converter output voltage at the battery reads in the 0.0VDC range, or the battery is not
charging, check for:
An open inline fuse in the battery wire
An open wire between the converter and the RV battery
Loose ground connection
Improper torques
If the converter fuses and AC voltage are good, but the converter output still reads zero volts,
the converter is not functioning prope
rly.
Modes of Operation
Absorption (Normal) Mode:
13.6VDC range. Batteries are being charged, just at a slower
rate. Converter will not work without AC input.
Float Trickle Mode:
To get your converter into this mode reduce the load on the system to
almost nothing but the battery. Let the system sit for approximately 44 hours.
Converter voltage will drop to 13.2VDC. If the converter sees any load during this period or
after it is in Float Mode it will revert back to Absorption (Normal) Mode. 13.6VDC.
Bulk Mode
: Converter will not jump into the “Bulk Mode” unless the battery is below 50%
of charge, or approximately below 13.2VDC output voltage. There is no way to force it to
go into Bulk Mode.
Red LED indicates blown fuse.
Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check the
reverse polarity fuse(s) located on the end of the converter.
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the converter case and the manufac-
turer’s warranty will be void if the case has been removed
. If you have further concerns
contact your dealer.
For detailed information on operation and safety, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s man-
ual.
Converter w/Charge Wizard (if so equipped)
Some converters may be equipped with a charge wizard
There are (3) possible charging modes; NORMAL, BOOST
and STORAGE. The charge wizard will automatically se-
lect the best mode to charge your battery. A green LED 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
voltage 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
