Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for the WF-9500-AD-MBA Series Main Board Assembly  
(Figure 4) below.

CHECKING CONVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE

Before checking the WF-9500-AD-MBA Series Main Board Assembly output voltage, disconnect 
the battery cables at the battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-130 
Volts). Check the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Place the meter probes 
on the disconnected battery cables; place the 

Positive

 (red) meter probe on the 

+ Positive  

battery wire and place the 

Negative

 (black) meter probe on the 

- Negative

 wire on the battery 

cable. Be sure you have good connections at the cables. If the voltage reads 13.6-14.6V, 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.

CHECKING FOR REVERSE BATTERY HOOKUP (REVERSE POLARITY FUSES)

If there is no DC output coming from the WF-9500-AD-MBA Series Main Board Assembly 
converter section, first check the reverse polarity fuses 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.
