MARINE
converter other than periodically checking all electrical
connections for tightness by a qualified service person.
CAUTION
Check battery water level frequently, especially if boat is
at dock for extended periods of time. Low water levels
will damage batteries!
TROUBLESHOOTING THE
INTELI-POWER MARINE CONVERTER/CHARGER
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
ACTION
1. No Output
120 VAC supply not
connected
Connect power supply
Check AC distribution panel for
proper operation
Internal Fuse(s) Blown
Check for Reverse Polarity
Replace Fuse(s) with same type
and rating
Short Circuit
Trace Vessel Circuits for possible
fault
Unit has shutdown due
to overheating
Check air flow
Allow unit to cool
Unit has shutdown due
to over voltage
Check input voltage
Converter will shut down if the
input voltage exceeds 132 Volts
Correct Input Voltage
2. Internal Fuse(s)
Blown
Reverse Battery Hook
Up
Correct Hook up and replace
Fuse(s) with same type and rating
3. Converter
cycles on & off
Compartment gets too
hot
Check air flow to the converter
Improve Ventilation to the
compartment
4. Low Output
Excessive Load for
Converter
Reduce load requirements or
Install Larger Converter
Input Voltage not
between 105-130 VAC
Correct input supply voltage
Bad Battery Cell(s)
Replace Battery

SAMPLE WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR SERIES/PARALLEL CONNECTIONS.
The Inteli-Power chargers can be wired in series to provide a 24 volt charging system.
They can also be wired in parallel to provide additional charge current.
Parallel Connection:
Wiring the Inteli-power chargers as shown below will provide additional charging
current to the 12 volt house battery system and eliminates the need to install additional
chargers for the engine, generator and the 12 volt bow thruster batteries.
The Parallel system shown above using PD2050 Chargers can provide a maximum of
100 amps to recharge the house battery system. It can also provide up to 50 amps to
charge the engine, bow thruster or generator batteries if the house batteries are fully
charged.
