AUTOMATIC COOLING FAN The cooling fan in the WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Chargers 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. –... -

“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 9 RV will rarely require anything other than Absorption Mode. When a WFCO converter is connected to a battery in Absorption Mode, power is available for charging that battery whenever the converter output is greater than the voltage level of the battery.

As the battery continues to charge, the current drawn by the battery will gradually decrease. WFCO converters are designed to drop out of Bulk Mode when the total amperage draw from the converter reaches a preset point, indicating the battery is charged. If the amperage draw stays above the preset point, the converter will stay in Bulk Mode for a maximum of four hours. - Page 11 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.

CHECKING CONVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE Before checking the WF-9800-AD Series Converter-Charger output voltage, disconnect the bat- tery 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;... -
