120 VAC
is present. This Converter/Charger is designed to convert
120 VAC
to
12 VDC
. It also provides low voltage
power for charging on-board
12 VDC
batteries. The Converter/Charger is a “
switch mode
” type and is designed to be
maintenance-free with no user serviceable components. The Converter/Charger power output is “
current limiting
” by
design.
WARNING – Avoid Personal Injury or Product Damage
NEVER store electrical devices in compartments where flammable liquids (such as gasoline) exist.
DO NOT mount/install unit in compartments designed for storage of batteries of flammable liquids.
1.
DISCONNECT DC POWER.
Disconnect the battery POS (+) wire at the battery end before connecting this Converter/Charger
to any vehicle/device wiring.
2.
LOCATION.
The mounting location may be on any interior (out of direct weather) surface. Location chosen must be accessible
after installation. When mounted inside a cabinet, the cabinet must be large enough to allow dissipation of heated air. Make
sure that there is a minimum of 1” (one inch) free air space at each end of the unit so that cooling air can move through the unit
properly. AVOID foreign contaminants such as dirt, metal particles or moisture.
3.
MOUNTING.
Flanges with holes are provided for ease of mounting using standard fasteners. Confirm that the surface that the
converter is mounted to is solid and will hold the weight (6 lbs) during vehicle operation.
4.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS.
A
120 VAC
receptacle needs to be located within 36 inches of the Converter/Charger to
supply power. Electrical consideration should also be given to mounting near the locations of the batteries and the
12-volt DC
distribution panel.
5.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
. Be sure to tighten all connections securely. A loose connection can quickly cause terminals
and wires to overheat. Review unit labels for recommended terminal torque values.
WARNING – Avoid Possible Injury or Death
120 VAC
Connection – First confirm that the
120 VAC
power source AC circuit breaker(s) are in the off position.
DO NOT
turn-on AC circuit breakers until installation is complete.
