Converter Operation
The power converter is designed to supply the nominal
12-volt-filtered DC power for all 12-volt-operated
devices encountered in RV service� Although the
converter is an excellent battery charger, it does not
require a battery to be connected for proper operation�
For models with 30A service, the converter/charger is
integrated into the power center� When switching the
battery type between lead acid, AGM, or lithium, it is
important to reconfigure the converter/charger to the
proper charging profile for the new battery type. Please
refer to a qualified service technician and the power
converter/charger manufacturer's manual for details on
reconfiguring the converter.
For models with 50A service, the power/distribution
center and deck mount converter/charger are a
two-piece system� If a different type of battery is
utilized, the proper charging profile for the type of
battery installed must be selected on the deck mount
converter/charger. Please refer to a qualified service
technician and the deck mount power converter/
charger manufacturer's manual for details on changing
the selection�
NOTICE
Battery damage may occur if the converter/
charger is not properly configured with the
appropriate charging profile. Consult a qualified
service technician and refer to the power
converter/charger manufacturer's manual for
setup.
NOTICE
When installing a battery(s), always observe
polarity. Connecting a battery in reverse polarity
will blow the power converter main fuses located
on the 12-volt DC distribution fuse block.

120-Volt AC Panel Board
The AC panel board section of the power converter
contains the 120 VAC branch circuit breakers for your
RV� One of the breakers controls the 120-volt power
to the 12-volt converter section� This breaker may also
control another branch circuit� Check the label next
to each breaker for what each branch circuit breaker
controls�
The 120-volt circuits may be turned on by setting their
breaker handle up, to the ON position, or off by setting
the handle down, to the OFF position� To reset the
tripped breaker, move handle to OFF then ON�
The system incorporates GFCI breakers that
implement an auto self-test functionality� When turned
off, these breakers require external AC power to be
present, or the AC inverter enabled, before they can
be turned back on� If AC power is present from one of
these two sources, and the breaker refuses to stay on
consult an electrician or certified RV technician.
Converter Cooling System
The power converters electronic fan cooling system
is the key to long life and trouble-free operation� The
fan is never on more than required to cool electronic
components in the converter� You may never hear the
fan operate�
Automatic Micro-Controller Operation
The power converters 3-stage switch mode is fully
automatic� The converter senses which mode it needs
to be in by checking the condition of the battery� The
three modes include:
Absorption Mode: During this mode the converter
output is in the 13�6 VDC range� This is the mode
that the converter will function at normally� This mode
provides the 12 VDC and the current required by the
trailer�
Bulk Mode: In this mode, the output voltage of the
converter will switch to 14�4 VDC range for a maximum
of four hours� If the converter cycles between
"Absorption and Bulk modes", there could be a shorted
battery cell or other issues�
Float Mode: If the trailer has not been used for a
period of time and the shore power has been left
plugged in, the converter will automatically go into
float mode with a voltage of 13.2. When the converter
senses a demand, by turning on lights, the converter
automatically returns to absorption mode�
