GENERAL INFORMATION WF-8500-AD-MBA Series Main Board Assembly Safety Features AUTOMATIC COOLING FAN The cooling fan in the WF-8500-AD Series Power Center is incremental and is controlled by the current drawn out of the converter to the applied load. The on-board microprocessor increases fan speed as the total load increases and decreases fan speed as the load decreases. -

The WF-8500-AD-MBA Series Main Board Assembly will charge the 12-volt House battery if installed. A battery DOES NOT have to be installed for WF-8500-AD-MBA Series Main Board Assembly to operate. When a battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses protect the MBA circuitry. -

“detected” and is then automatically set for the type of battery being used. For standard Lead Acid and AGM batteries, WFCO power converters still use the Three-Stage Smart Charging to effectively maximize battery life by monitoring through the different phases of the charge cycle. -
Page 6: Two Stage Smart Charging
From the paragraph above, as load current increases, output voltage decreases. The actual output voltage will not rise until the load current is reduced, which happens naturally as the battery charges or if 12-volt appliances are turned off. Bulk Mode will be maintained until the current draw drops to approximately five Amps, or until the timer reaches four hours (whichever happens first). - Page 7 Figure 3 BULK MODE This mode is designed with two purposes in mind. First, to quickly restore the energy back into the battery. Second, to ensure the lithium cells inside the battery remain balanced. This is accomplished by boosting the output voltage to 14.6 VDC and allowing the maximum current to flow as required by the loads.

Also check for loose wiring connections. CHECKING FOR REVERSE POLARITY BATTERY HOOKUP (REVERSE POLARITY FUSES) If there is no DC output coming from the WF-8500-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. -
