 • Using a voltmeter, check voltage output between 
heavy gauge positive and negative wires coming out 
of the converter.  

• The voltage should be within 13.8 and 14.0 volts. 
(The meter of the tester should be calibrated 
periodically.)  

• If the converter is not within these voltages, have 
it serviced by a qualified technician or replace it.  

A label on the inside of the converter door lists the 
circuits and what each fuse powers. 

Converter Operation 

 

The electronic power converter is designed to 
supply the nominal 12-volt-filtered DC power for 
all 12-volt operated devices encountered in RV 
service. Although the converter is an excellent 
battery charger, the converter does not require a 
battery to be connected to it for proper operation.

 

NOTE 

When installing a battery (s), always observe 

polarity. Connecting a battery in reverse polarity 

will blow the power converter main fuses located 

on the 12-volt DC distribution fuse block 

120-Volt AC Panel Board  

The AC panel board section contains the 120 AC 
branch circuit breakers for your RV. One of the 
breakers controls the 120-volt power to the 12-volt 
converter section. This breaker may also control 
another branch circuit. Check the label next to each 
breaker for what each branch circuit breaker 
controls.  

The 120-volt circuits may be turned on by setting 
their breaker handle up, to the ON position, or off 
by setting the handle down, to the OFF position. To 
reset the tripped breaker, move handle to OFF then 
ON.  

The system incorporates GFCI breakers that 
implement an auto self-test functionality. When 
turned off, these breakers require external AC 
power to be present, or the AC inverter enabled, 
before they can be turned back on. If AC power is 

present from one of these two sources, and the 
breaker refuses to stay on consult an electrician or 
certified RV technician.  

Fuses and Breakers  

Breakers  

The distribution panel was 
designed to use a 30 Amp 
120Volt main breaker 
with branch circuits. 
Double breakers may be 
used for the branch 

circuits. Should a breaker become faulty, replace 
with the same type breaker only. Use only approved 
circuit breakers and 12V fuses.  

NOTE 

When replacing circuit, breakers replace with 

the same type and rating as the original. 

 12 VDC Fuses  

Each 12 volt  DC circuit in 
the distribution panel was 
designed for a maximum 
of a 20-amp automotive 
style fuse. Should one 
need to be replaced, be 

sure to replace it with the same type and Amp rating 
as originally supplied by nüCamp RV. Replacing it 
with either a higher or lower Amp fuse could result 
in the panel not functioning properly.  

Reverse Polarity Fuses 

The power converter is equipped with reverse 
polarity fuses, should these fuses “blow” either 
during the manufacturing process or while 
connecting the battery, replace with the same type 
and rating fuse as originally provided with the 
equipment.  

The power converter is not weather resistant nor 
designed for installation in wet locations. The 
power converter must be protected from direct 
contact with water.
