You have joined the better mobile living group. Yau can now operate from 115 volt A.C. and at the same time recharge the bettery automatically to full charge when: ever 115 volt A.C. is ovailable. The converter allows the direct usage of power from the 115 volt source so that the reserve power of the battery con be maintained ond used when 115 is net ovcilable. (CONVERTER DOES NOT CHANGE 12 VOLTS D.C. TO 115 VOLTS A.C.) BATTERY POWER When your R.V. is used miles from power facilities, the battery will be your main source of power. Therefore, all electrical components depend upen the storage of electricity in the bat- tery. The bottery must provide the power t0 operate the lights, furnace, pump, electric toilets, ete. To operate from your battery nothing else is required. Everything is done outomatically within the Power Converter Your converter automatically switches to charging mode os soon as electric cord is plugged in. Your bettery will be continually charged until full even if you are using power for your oppli ‘ances and lights. Solid state semi conductors provide an absolute limit to the amount of voltoge introduced to the battery to prevent over chorging. Your converter has o rating of 35-40 AMPs continuous, CARE OF YOUR POWER CONVERTER 1. Do not pile things on top of the converter. Your unit must have o free flow of air through and cround the unit 2. Do not let your unit get wet. 3. Keep as clean as possible to assure long life. The unit could be blown clean with an oir line if necessary. 4. You have many lights, motors, etc. throughout your R.V. and you may want to add a few more. Your converter has o circuit breaker for eoch 12 volt circuit in your R.V. If you have automatic circuit breakers over-loaded, they will automatically reset in about 7 to 20 seconds. If you hove a manual roset, it is necessory tomanvally reset each time they open, Your R.V. is designed to have lights where you need them but wos not intended that you would have all lights ond motors operating simultaneously fa circuit is overloaded, merely shut off a light or two to reduce the load, 5. If your converter fails to operate, first check incoming power to your R.V, to make sure you hove 115 A.C. avilable. Check the circuit breaker on the side or top of your converter (if your model has one). This is a push type breaker. (Push to reset). If no power is available at the coach, check plug connections at park hook-up. Check for defec: tive cord. If you hear a clicking noise, something is overloaded or possibly the battery is installed backward. The red wire will connect to the larger positive post on the bottery. The white wire connects to megative or ground side. NOTE: No other wire will connect to the red wire going to the positive post on the battery except the recharge line coming from the vehicle engine botte4. When connecting up for the night using the cord supplied with your R.V., be sure (if ~ the park does not hove grounded recepticals) to ground your R.V. Be aware of low voltage and the causes. The longer the cord, the more chance for low voltage; end, consequently, dim lights and possible sluggish motor problems. NOTE: Your unit will operate from low voltage without harming it. When purchasing on extea cord, be sure to have at least 0 #12 wire cord. KNOW YOUR BATTERY a 1. For o full charge battery of (1265-1275 specific gravity) it is necessery to charge with o voltage of 14.2 D.C. ot 70°F. Above this temperoture, your cherging voltoge should be a lowered and below this temperature your charging voltage can be raised. Your electronic cirevit has a feature that automatically adjusts the contral voltoge ond thereby the current to your battery, depending upon the ambient temperature of the electronic circuit. This can change the voltage setting from 13 to 15 valts ond means that your battery will last longer ond provides the utmost in solid state control. Your electronic circuit constantly senses the charge in your battery, the voltage on your battery and the ambient temperature and thereby reguiates the required amperage to prevent ruining of your battery. To determine how long your battery will last, (assuming it is full charged), divide the omps you're using into the compere hour rating to get the hours of operation. As an example, using a 62 ampere hour bottery with one light bulb drawing two amps from the battery, it should last continually for 30 hours. Obviously, the energy in the bottery should be utilized as sporingly as possible keep the number of lights on $0 a minimum to conserve the stored energy. + A bottery needs water — check ot least once a month while traveling. Low or decd batteries sulfate ropidly. (Sulfation restricts battery performonce by the lead sulfate building up ond crystolizing on the inside and outside of the positive and negative battery plates.) A bottery that hos sulfoted will re-chorge very quickly, that is, the voltage comes up, but there is little or ne energy in the battery. To de-sulfote a battery, use a slow trickle charge for 5 to 7 days. However, the Progressive Dynamic’s Power Converter will prevent sulfotion of your bottery automatically. When a low bottery is suspected or when your battery is ot "rest"? for ex- fended periods, occasionally plug in power converter to maintain your bottery in o full charge condition. This in turn will prevent battery sulfation. CHARGE YOUR TRAILER BATTERY FROM YOUR CAR'S GENERATOR Your Power Converter is wired in such 0 manner that your battery can be charged up from your car generator os you ore traveling. This will become especially useful if your converter is not equipped with the optional outomatic charging unit. When properly connected, the cor generator will charge the R.V. battery os well as the car bottery while the motor is running. NOTE: See Wiring Diagram on back At night we recommend disconnecting the car bettery from the R.V. bottery to prevent the car battery from draining down. Always fuse the wire from automobile to R.V. at both batteries.
