Section 6: Electrical System
Power Converter
The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to useable 12-volt DC power when the
shore power cord is connected to an external power source.
The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should over-
heating occur. Overheating can be caused by operating the converter above its maximum
power output for an extended period of time, or by an obstruction to its ventilation air flow.
To reduce converter heat build keep unnecessary 12-volt lights and motors turned off. Keep
the converters cooling fins and fan clear of obstructions.
USE ONLY A DEEP CYCLE BATTERY FOR RV USE
. Car batteries (CCA
rating) are not designed for RV applications.
If using multiple batteries they must be the same brand and type. Adding more
batteries will provide longer use of DC appliances when not on shore power but
may reduce charging efficiency.
The battery works in conjunction with the converter to supply DC power to the
RV. A battery is typically only necessary if you do a lot of dry camping or have
slideouts and/or a leveling system.
Reverse polarity fuse provides protection for the converter when a battery is used.
If the battery is connected backwards to the fuse board this fuse would blow pre-
venting damage to the converter.
Dimming or flickering lights usually indicates an overloaded converter. Remove
some of the load by turning off DC lights or appliances.
Fan is controlled by load. It will begin running at 3 to 6 amp DC draw. It increases
in speed with a higher load until 14 to 15 amps. Fan is at maximum speed and
stays there even with more load. If load drops below 6 amps DC, the fan shuts off.
Status LED Indicators
Indicator
Definition
Solid green. Indicates grid mode in which shore power is available and
passing through to the loads.
Solid green. Indicates Battery mode (Inverter mode) in which the in-
verter is running and supplying power to the loads from the battery.
Solid red. Indicates error or fault mode and is accompanied by an error
code displayed on the LCD screen.
Flashing red. Indicates a Warning condition and is accompanied by an
error code and a sounding alarm.
NOTE: Remote display operates exactly the same as the display mounted to
the inverter
Maintenance
There are no customer serviceable parts inside the inverter case and the manufacturer’s war-
ranty will be void if the case has been removed. The inverter cooling fins and the cooling fan
should be kept clear of any obstructions.
Refer to the Inverter manufacturers’ manual in your warranty packet for further operating
instructions, error codes, changing inverter settings and safety information.
