Page 3: Reverse Battery Protection
The WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Chargers will charge the 12-volt house battery if installed. A battery does not have to be installed for WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Chargers operation. When a battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses are installed to protect the converter circuitry. -

ELECTRONIC CURRENT LIMITING In the event that the output current exceeds the maximum rating for the WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Charger, the output current will remain constant, but the output voltage will begin to drop. If this occurs, the unit will recover once loads are reduced. -

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. On the other hand, Lithium batteries will prefer the use of only two stages when charging, and therefore the power converter will charge using the WFCO Two-Stage Smart Charging system. -

FLOAT MODE The third mode of charging is what is called the “float” charge. This mode is designed to pro- vide a “trickle charge” to the battery after the system observes no significant variations in current draw over a long period of time. When in “float” mode, the voltage will reduce from 13.6V to 13.2V and supply the “trickle charge”... - Page 7 BULK MODE This mode is designed with 2 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.

CHECKING CONVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE Figure 4 Before checking the WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Charger output voltage, disconnect the battery cables at the battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into a live 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;... -

CHECKING FOR REVERSE BATTERY HOOKUP (REVERSE POLARITY FUSES) If there is no DC output coming from the WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Charger output lugs, first check the reverse polarity fuses on the rear panel. Then, visually inspect the fuses for any breaks in the fuse element. -
Page 10: Installation Instructions
The front of the enclosure should not be ob- structed to allow free air flow for the cooling fan (Figure 6). An 8AWG copper conductor shall be used to bond the WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Charger to the vehicle frame. -

You will notice the same occurrence when the converter is initially energized on Shore power. AC CONNECTIONS The WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Chargers receive power from the power cord on the opposite end of the enclosure from the DC lugs. The WF-9835-AD, WF-9845-AD and WF-9855-AD have a standard 15 Amp plug. - Page 12 Figure 7 Figure 8...
