INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ho rizontal mounting o f the INTE LI-POW ER 910 0, is
recommended although it can be mounted in any position
that provides unobstructed ventilation to the fan and vent
holes. Secure the converter firmly to the mounting
surface using standard fasteners.
The OEM should test the INTELI-POW ER 9100 under
full load cond itions in its intended mounting location.
This will insure that there is sufficient unobstructed
ventilation to the conve rter allow ing it to op erate at its
maximum rated load. Failure to pro vide adeq uate
ventilation to the conve rter will cau se the co nverter to
cycle on and off as it responds to am bient cond itions.
THE INTELI-POWER 9100 CONVERTERS ARE NOT
DESIGNED FOR ZERO CLEARANCE
COM PARTM ENTS.
PROBLEM
1. No Output
2. External Fuses
Blown
3. Converter cycles on
& off
4. Low Output
5. Intermittent or no
Output on Generator,
works on Shore
Power
Do not replace the converter unless the following checks have been performed:
1. Loosen the screw on the positive terminal and disconnect the positive wire. Read the converter output voltage using a
DC voltmeter. If the voltage is above 13 volts, the converter is working properly.
2. If the converter output is zero volts, use an AC voltmeter to check for proper voltage at the 120 VAC outlet that the
converter is plugged into. This voltage should be between 105 and 130 volts.
3. Check the fuses located at the front of the converter. These fuses will only blow if the battery or DC output leads
were connected in reverse, even for a moment. Replace the fuses and repeat step 1.
NOTE: When replacing fuse(s) the TCMS plug must be removed to provide clearance for fuse replacement.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
POSSIBLE CAUSES
120 VAC supply not connected
External Fuses Blown
Short Circuit
Unit has shutdown due to overheating
Unit has shutdown due to over voltage
(Also see Item 5 below)
Reverse Battery Hook Up
Compartment gets too hot
Excessive Load for Converter
Input Voltage not between 105-130
VAC
Bad Battery Cell(s)
Unit has shutdown due to over voltage.
Some generators exhibit excessive
voltage spikes on the AC power output,
this may cause the over voltage
protection to shut the unit down
! ATTENTION !
USE A 5/32" HEX DRIVER TO TIGHTEN THE
OUT PUT SCR EW S. DO NOT E XCEED 50 IN-LB
TORQUE. PD9160 AND PD9180 USE A SLOTTED
SCREWDRIVER TO TIGHTEN THE OUTPUT
SC RE W S
THE OUTPUT TERMINALS ARE RATED FOR 2 TO
14 GA. COPPER OR ALUMINUM W IRE.
THE INTELI-POWER 9100 CONVERTERS ARE NOT
WEATHER TIGHT OR DESIGNED FOR WET
LOCATION MOUNTING. THEY MUST BE
PROTECTED FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH
WAT ER.
DURING THE M ANUFACT URING PRO CESS
AVOID THE INTRODUCTION OF FOREIGN
MAT ERIALS INTO TH E CASE AS TH IS COULD
CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF TH E CONVERTER.
ACTION
Connect power supply
Check AC distribution panel for proper operation
Check for Reverse Polarity
Replace Fuses with same type and rating
Trace RV Circuits for possible fault
Check air flow
Allow unit to cool
Check input voltage
Converter will shut down if the input voltage exceeds 132
Volts
Correct Input Voltage
Correct Hook up and replace Fuses with same type and
rating
Check air flow to the converter
Improve Ventilation to the compartment
Reduce load requirements or Install Larger Converter
Correct input supply voltage
Replace Battery
Add another load to the generator, this may reduce the
"spikes" to an acceptable level
Contact generator manufacturer for possible defect in the
generator
