Section 6: Electrical System
It is important that the fluid level of any connected batteries be checked on a
regular basis. All batteries will “gas” and lose some fluid when continuously
connected to any charging source (does not apply to “gel-cell” batteries).
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.
Before checking for converter output voltage, the battery cables must be disconnected at the
battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-132 AC volts). Check
the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Place the voltmeter probes on
the disconnected battery cables. If the voltage reads 13.6VDC with no load, the converter
is functioning properly.
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 con-
verter case and the manufacturer’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 manual.
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
