WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Charger Safety Features REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION The WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Chargers will charge the 12-volt house battery if installed. A battery does not have to be installed for WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Charger’s operation. When a battery is installed, three reverse polarity fuses are installed to protect the converter circuitry. The fuses are located on the rear panel of the enclosure near the AC power cord (Refer to Figure 1 on the following page). -

If this occurs, the unit will recover once loads are reduced. SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION Should a short circuit occur in the RV, the WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Charger will drop the voltage output to zero volts. If the short-circuit condition is removed and no other fault conditions are detected, the converter will resume normal operation. -

“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
FLOAT MODE The third mode of charging is what is called the “float” charge. This mode is designed to provide 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”... -

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. -

Figure 5 GENERAL COMPLIANCE INFORMATION Agency Listings The WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Chargers are UL-Listed, and cUL-Listed (Canadian). FCC COMPLIANCE CLASS B NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. -
Page 9: Installation Instructions
The front of the enclosure should not be obstructed to allow free air flow for the cooling fan (Figure 6). An 8AWG copper conductor shall be used to bond the WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Charger to the vehicle frame. -
Page 10: Ac Connections
AC CONNECTIONS The WF-68100-AD Series Converter-Chargers receive power from the power cord located to the left of the rear panel fan. Due to the higher current required from the AC line to produce the high DC current output, a 20 Amp power plug is provided. - Page 11 Figure 9...
