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 doing a lot of dry camping use a
deep cycle battery rated in amp hours only (NO CCA rating).

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.
•
STATUS & DISPLAY LEDS - both AMBER - Inverter Mode is active. Inverter is
ON, pressing the SELECT button will display inverter power output. Display shows
power output in KW.
•
STATUS LED FLASHES AMBER, DISPLAY LED IS OFF - If the unit is in Inverter
Mode
, and you plug in shore power, the STATUS LED will begin flashing AMBER
and the unit will switch to Bypass Mode within 20 seconds of detecting an AC input.
•
If the STATUS LED is RED and DISPLAY LED is OFF, the display will show an error
code of E01 through E12. This indicates a fault in the inverter circuit that needs atten-
tion. Inverter will shut down.
Pressing the SELECT button also cycles through inverter
settings. Inverter settings can be changed, but 12VDC must
be removed from the Ignition Start Port on the back of the
inverter. Unplug the 12VDC wire(s) on the back of the in-
verter to make changes to inverter settings. Plug +12VDC
back in after settings are changed. (See photo)
Refer to the Magnum Inverter manufacturers’ manual in your
warranty packet for further operating instructions, error codes,
changing inverter settings and safety information.
NOTE: The power button is NOT a power disconnect switch and
will not remove DC power from the inverter. Disconnect ALL power
from the inverter before working on it.
