The Converter/Charger is designed to convert 120 VAC to
12 VDC. This allows operation of 12 VDC devices while being
connected to shore power; using power from a generator; or
using power from on board storage batteries. It also provides
exceptionally clean low voltage power for charging on board
batteries. This Converter/Charger is a 'switch mode' type
supply. Its high frequency electronic design is maintenance
free with superior performance.
The APC Series offers a wide range of power - 32,45, 55 and
75 amp models - in a compact design weighing just six
pounds. Atwood technology maintains safe, cool, reliable
converter/charging operation, ensuring the performance of
electrical systems with sophisticated controls. The
thermostatically controlled cooling fan also reduces noise and
increases warm weather performance. The APC's circuitry
includes over-temperature and over-current protection,
safeguarding against power supply damage. External fuses
provide "reversed battery" protection, preventing damage from
cross-wiring.
APC filtered power provides smooth, optimum DC appliance
operation and the full output rating is available for battery
charging.

INSTALLATION
1. DISCONNECT POWER. Disconnect the RV battery POS (+) wire
at the battery before connecting the Converter/Charger.
PERSONAL INJURY/PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Never store electrical devices in a compartment where
flammable liquids are stored.
• Do not mount the unit in a compartment designed for the
storage of batteries or flammable liquids (such as gasoline).
2. LOCATION. 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 vented and large enough to
allow dissipation of heated air. Make sure that there is a
minimum of 1" (one inch) free air space from sides and back
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. Surface must support
the converter's weight (6 lbs) during vehicle operation.
