The power converter is designed to provide a filtered 12 Volt DC power to the
lighting and appliance circuits. It will also recharge and maintain the unit’s battery.
The power converter is virtually maintenance free. There are some tests which can
be performed to ensure the power converter is functioning properly.
• The output on terminals should read 13.6 Volts DC +/- .3 Volts.
• Inspect the fuses to ensure they are not blown.
• The power requirement for the converter is 120 Volts AC.
If the converter output is correct but the battery is not charging there may
be a problem with an open wire between the converter and battery.
If the fuses are blown the battery was connected in reverse. It only takes
one second of reverse connection to blow the fuse.
If the power requirement for the converter is met, the fuses are good, and
there is no output from the converter, the converter is bad and will need to be
replaced.
When the inverter is turned ON and shore power or generator power is not
used, inverter operates on power from the house battery. The inverter is located in
a front overhead compartment. The inverter supplies AC power to the television
and VCR. Use of the inverter operating from the house battery will greatly
increase battery power consumption.
The inverter has a 120 AC cord plugged into a 120 AC receptacle. When shore
power or generator power is present the inverter automatcially turns OFF and 120
AC power is routed directly to the inverter outlet. The outbreaker protects the
inverter from over heating and short circuit.
Operation:
• Battery power must be greater than 11
Volts for the inverter to operate.
• Push slide switch to the ON position.
The gree LED will be
illumitated.
• The red Low Battery light will be
illuminated when the battery drops
below 101/2 Volts and the inverter will
turn OFF.
• The inverter should be turned OFF
when not in use.
