Charge Wizard Operation
The built in Charge Wizard will automatically determine
the best mode to charge your battery. It will select
between 3 possible modes of battery charging;
NORMAL, BOOST or STORAGE.
A Green LED (next to the Wizard Mode Button) will
indicate by flashes, which mode the Charge Wizard is
currently using.
NORMAL MODE: Green LED flashes once per second. Battery is between 50% and
90% charged. When battery reaches 90% charge, the green LED will flash 2-3 times per
second. Output voltage in this mode is 13.6VDC and converter is safely completing the
charge of the battery.
BOOST MODE: Green LED on solid. Output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the
battery up to 90% of full charge.
STORAGE MODE: Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. Output voltage has been
reduced to 13.2VDC, the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the
charge.
Also included is a Wizard Mode Button used to override the Charge Wizard (See
MANUAL MODE
MANUAL MODE: (Not recommended) Operated with the Wizard Mode Button. Refer
to the Power Control Center owner’s manual for further information regarding this mode.
REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION: If a battery is accidentally hooked up
backwards, the converter will be protected. Easily accessible ATC type fuses will blow
when a battery is connected in reverse. Replace with fuses of the same type and rating.
Four reverse protection fuses (tan in color) are located next to the Wizard Button.
Inspection and maintenance
If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check
the reverse polarity fuse(s) in the Load Center. There are no customer serviceable parts
inside the converter case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has
been removed. If you have further concerns contact your dealer.
12-VOLT DC SYSTEM
The majority of your recreation vehicle lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-
volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following
conditions are met:
Power is supplied by the tow vehicle alternator when the engine is running and the 7-
way trailer plug is connected. This powers the RV’s running lights, brake lights, turn
signals and brakes. In addition, the 7-way trailer plug provides a common ground and
a 12-volt charge line to charge the auxiliary battery.
The converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the power cord is plugged
into campground power. The converter will also charge the RV battery in most
situations. (Refer also to the Battery Disconnect section)
The auxiliary battery powers many interior 12-volt components including the lighting
fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. It also powers the
breakaway switch.
