INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
• Horizontal mounting of the power converter is
recommended although it can be mounted in any position
that provides unobstructed ventilation to the fan and vent
holes.
• The OEM should test the power converter under full load
conditions in its intended mounting location. This will
ensure that there is sufficient unobstructed ventilation to
the converter allowing it to operate at its maximum rated
load. Failure to provide adequate ventilation to the
converter will cause the converter output to be reduced as
it responds to ambient conditions.
• The INTELI-POWER converters are not designed for
zero clearance compartments.
• Use a 5/32” hex driver to tighten the output screws. Do
not exceed 50 in-lbs. torque on the output terminals.
• The INTELI-POWER converters are not weather tight or
designed for wet mounting locations. They must be
protected from direct contact with water.
• Avoid the introduction of foreign materials into the case
as this could damage or cause a malfunction of the
converter.
WARNING:
THIS EQUIPMENT EMPLOYS COMPONENTS THAT
TEND TO PRODUCE ARCS OR SPARKS – TO
PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION DO NOT INSTALL
IN COMPARTMENTS CONTAINING BATTERIES OR
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
Installation Steps:
1. Secure converter firmly to mounting surface.
2. Connect chassis ground lug (found on unit base) to
chassis.
• Ground wire to be between 6 and 12AWG wire.
3. Disconnect battery from both positive (+) and ground (-)
cables.
4. Connect battery ground (-) to converter NEG (-) lug.
• Conductor to be between 2 and 10AWG (follow all
applicable codes when sizing conductor)
5. Disconnect any optional pendant.
6. Plug converter into appropriate outlet.
7. Set converter to correct output mode.
8. Using a DC voltmeter, verify converter output.
If no output is present, refer to the trouble shooting
guide in this manual and on the website.
9. Disconnect power to converter.
10. Connect battery positive (+) to converter POS (+) lug.
• Conductor to be between 2 and 10AWG (follow all
applicable codes when sizing conductor)
Note: When connecting battery to converter POS (+),
a spark may occur. This is normal.
11. Reconnect battery cables.
12. Reconnect any optional pendants or modules.
13. Reconnect power to converter.
⚠ CAUTION RISK OF FIRE:
Chassis bonding wire must be a separate wire ran directly
from the grounding lug provided on the converter. DO
NOT connect output negative to chassis using the same
wire.

FEATURES
SELECTABLE CHARGE PROFILES… Allow you to select
the right profile for the battery being charged. The unit can also
provide a constant output voltage for special needs.
GFCI PROTECTION… INTELI-POWER converters have
the LOWEST ground fault leakage. The user can confidently
utilize the RV’s AC outlets without concern of ground fault
interruption of the facilities power source.
REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION prevents damage if
battery leads are cross connected. Since the only consequence
of cross connection is a blown fuse, damage to or possible
replacement of the converter is avoided. Cross connection of
battery leads is the only thing that will blow these fuses.
Replacement fuses are available at any automotive store
GENERAL OPERATION
The INTELI-POWER series converter will supply “clean”
power from input voltages that range from 105-130 VAC.
CONSTANT VOLTAGE (MAGENTA LIGHT) – The full
rated load is available for load, battery charging or both.
When charging the battery, the converter has a nominal
voltage output of 13.6 VDC.
CAUTION
DO NOT STORE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS OF TIME IN THIS MODE.
LITHIUM W/ 2 STAGE CHARGE (BLUE LIGHT) –
When charging the battery, the converter has a nominal
voltage output of 14.4 VDC. When the converter senses an
output current drop below a preset level, the converter will
automatically switch to IDLE mode and the voltage output
will drop to 13.6VDC
CAUTION
DO NOT USE TO RECHARGE FLOODED
LEAD/ACID BATTERIES WHILE IN EITHER
LITHIUM (BLUE) OR AGM (WHITE) MODE
Side of Converter
Accessory Port Mode Button Access
Mode Indicator LED
Green – Lead Acid w/ Wizard
Blue – Lithium
White – AGM
Magenta – Constant Voltage
⚠ CAUTION
IF THE REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION FUSES ARE BLOWN DURING INSTALLATION, CHECK TO SEE THAT THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CONNECTED PROPERLY BEFORE REPLACING THE FUSES. REPLACE THE FUSES ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING AS THE ORIGINAL FUSES. USING OTHER FUSES MAY RESULT IN CONVERTER DAMAGE, VEHICLE DAMAGE, INJURY OR OTHER CONSEQUENCES (SEE WARRANTY).
⚠ CAUTION
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FLUID LEVEL OF ANY CONNECTED BATTERIES BE CHECKED ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL BATTERIES WILL “GAS” AND LOSE SOME FLUIDS WHEN CONTINUOUSLY CONNECTED TO ANY CHARGING SOURCE.
FLOODED LEAD ACID (GREEN LIGHT) – When charging the battery, the converter will sense voltage on the battery and automatically select the proper operating mode to provide the correct charge level to the batteries. If the voltage drops below a preset level the converter will automatically switch to BOOST mode and the output voltage will increase to approximately 14.4 VDC to rapidly recharge the battery. When the converter senses an output drop below a preset level, the converter will automatically switch to NORMAL mode and the voltage output will drop to 13.6VDC. If there is no significant battery usage for 33 hours the converter will automatically switch to STORAGE mode and the output voltage will drop to 13.2 VDC. In storage mode, the output voltage increases to 14.4 VDC for approximately 15 minutes every 21 hours to help prevent sulfation of the battery plates.
AGM (WHITE LIGHT) – When charging the battery, the converter has a nominal voltage output of 14.0 VDC. After a preset time, the converter will automatically switch to ABSORPTION mode and the voltage output will increase to 14.7VDC. When the converter senses an output current drop below a preset level, the converter will automatically switch to FLOAT mode and the voltage output will drop to 13.6VDC
Press and hold the MODE BUTTON for at least 3 seconds until the LED changed color. Continue to depress button until the desire battery type is selected.
