Power Converter
WARNING
Do not store anything around or on top of
the converter, or in front of the cover. The
converter generates heat while operating,
and needs unrestricted air flow for proper
cooling.
Charging Section
The converter charges coach batteries while
110-volt external power is connected. The
converter will automatically "sense" the
condition of the RV battery. If it is below "full
charge", the Charging Section will start charging
the battery.
If the coach batteries have been extremely
discharged, they will accept charge at a relatively
high amperage rate. If they are only slightly
discharged, they will charge at a lower amperage
rate. The rate of charge will decrease as the
batteries reach "full charge", then will continue
"trickle" charging at a very low amperage rate. If
your battery does not charge as described above,
it is possible the battery is defective.

Thermal Overload Protector
A protective thermal breaker will "break" the
110-volt AC power to the converter section of the
Power Center if the power converter becomes
overheated. This can result from operating above
its maximum limit for an extended period of time
or by obstruction of ventilation to unit.
NOTE:Power converter section will
automatically route 12-volt lights and
motors to battery power in this event.
The thermal breaker will reset itself after a
period of time, and the lights and motors will
again resume operation from power converter
section. If the breaker trips again shortly after
reset, take immediate steps to correct cause of
overheating. A portion of the coach 12-volt load
(lights or motors or both) should be turned off to
reduce total load. Also, inspect power converter
section to make sure ventilation is not obstructed.
NOTE:The converter will not change 12-volt DC
current to 110-volt AC.
110-VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The breaker panel protects all 110-volt
components in the motor home from either an
overload on the circuit or a short in the wiring or
component itself. When an overload or short
develops, the breaker will open preventing any
further flow of electricity and, therefore, damage
to the system.
Shut off the equipment (example: roof air
conditioner) and allow a brief cooling period.
Then reset the breaker by moving the switch to
"Off" and back to "On". If the breaker is
continually tripped and no overload is evident,
have the system checked for a short in the wiring
or the appliances.
