Troubleshooting the WF-8700 Series Power Center
Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for the WF-8700 Series Power Center (Figure 4) below.
Check Converter Output Voltage
Before checking the WF-8700 Series Power Center output voltage, disconnect the battery
cables at the battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-130 VAC).
Check the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Place the meter probes
on the discon-nected battery cables; place the Positive (red) meter probe on the + Positive
red battery wire and place the
Negative
(black) meter probe on the
- Negative
black wire on
the battery cable. Be sure you have good connections at the cables. If the voltage reads 13.6
VDC (+/- 0.2) with no load, the converter is functioning properly.
If the converter output voltage at the battery reads 0.0 VDC, or if the battery is not
charging, check for an open inline fuse in the battery wire circuit. One may have been
installed by the RV manufacturer. Also check for loose wiring connections.
NOTE: The battery circuit (Red wire) should have the following fuse installed:
WF-8712P – Circuit #4 – 15 A
WF-8725P – Circuit #4 – 30 A
WF-8735P – Circuit #6 – 30 A
WF-8740P – Circuit #6 – 30 A
Reverse Polarity Fuses
If there is no DC output coming from the WF-8700 Series Power Center converter section,
first check the reverse polarity fuse(s) on the fuse board. Then, visually inspect the fuses for
any breaks in the fuse element. If no breaks are found, use a continuity tester to check for
continuity. If the reverse polarity fuses are blown, it means the RV battery was accidentally
connected in reverse, either at the battery or at the converter. Investigate the connections
and reconnect the cables properly. Replace the fuse with the same type and Amperage
rating as the original.
IMPORTANT: These fuses protect the converter from damage in the event that the RV
battery is accidentally connected in reverse. A reversed battery connection, even if for only
a second, will cause these fuses to blow.
If the above checks have been made but the converter output still reads 0.0 VDC, the
converter is not functioning properly. Contact the Arterra Distribution Power PROs at
1 (877) 294-8997. Before placing the call, please have available the WF-8700 Series Power
Center model number from the front panel label and the 14-digit serial number from the
bar code tag located on the fan panel. The fan panel is accessible after the door assembly has
been removed.
