If the converter sees any load during this period or after it is in Float Mode it will revert back to Absorption (Normal) Mode. The converter voltage will drop to 13.2VDC. Let the system sit for approximately 44 hours. The converter will not work without AC input.įloat Trickle Mode: To get your converter into this mode, reduce the load on the system to almost nothing but the battery. Batteries are being charged, just at a slower rate. If the converter fuses and AC voltage are good, but the converter output still reads zero volts, the converter is not functioning properly.Ībsorption (Normal) Mode: 13.6VDC range. An open wire between the converter and the RV battery.An open inline fuse in the battery wire.If the converter output voltage at the battery reads in the 0.0VDC range, or the battery is not charging, check for: If the voltage reads 13.6VDC with no load, the converter is functioning properly. Place the voltmeter probes on the disconnected battery cables. Check the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-132 AC volts). Before checking for converter output voltage, the battery cables must be disconnected at the battery. All batteries will “gas” and lose some fluid when continuously connected to any charging source (does not apply to “gel-cell” batteries). It is important that the fluid level of any connected batteries be checked on a regular basis. If the load drops below 6 amps DC, the fan shuts off. The fan is at maximum speed and stays there even with more load. It increases in speed with a higher load until 14 to 15 amps. It will begin running at 3 to 6 amp DC draw. Remove some of the load by turning off DC lights or appliances.
