INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING:

• The PD4000 series POWER CONTROL CENTER should be installed horizontally (converter section to the left).
• The unit is NOT ignition-protected.
• Do not mount in the LP gas or the battery compartment.
• The INTELI-POWER converters are not designed for zero clearance compartments.
• The POWER CONTROL CENTER is not designed for wet locations. Install in an interior/dry location.
• Cut mounting hole to approximately 10-3/4” wide x 7-1/4” high.
• The OEM should test the POWER CONTROL CENTER converter under full load conditions in its intended mounting location to ensure proper ventilation. Failure to provide adequate ventilation will prevent the converter from supplying full output power.

Wiring Diagram

(The below image may vary, depending on the model)

GENERAL OPERATION

• The INTELI-POWER series converter will supply “clean” power from input voltages that range from 105 – 130VAC.
• The INTELI-POWER series of converters are primarily designed for use with a battery, however, the output of the INTELI-POWER converters is a regulated, filtered DC voltage that can power sensitive electronics without the need for a battery or other filtering.
• At normal input voltages (105 – 130VAC) the full load-rated capacity is available. At input voltages less than 105 VAC the converter may not supply full rated output capacity.
• The optional OUTPUT MODE SWITCH sets the converter output to either a constant 14.6VDC with the Charge Wizard® disabled (switch in ‘LI’ position) or a nominal 13.6VDC with full Charge Wizard® function (switch in ‘LA’ position).
• ‘LI’ mode is intended for use with lithium batteries with a BMS requiring a constant converter output. ‘LA’ mode is intended for use with lead/acid batteries where the Charge Wizard® will optimize battery charging.

NOTE: The OUTPUT MODE SWITCH should only be switched when new batteries are installed. Verify battery type before adjusting the output mode switch.

• PD4045/60L ‐ The full rated load is available for load, battery charging, or both. When functioning as a regulated battery charger the converter has a nominal voltage output of 14.6 VDC. The system is designed to sense voltage on the battery and will taper the charging current as the battery becomes charged.
• CAUTION The 4000L series converter/chargers are designed to recharge lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries only.

DO NOT USE TO RECHARGE LEAD/ACID BATTERIES!

• PD4045/60 – The full rated load is available for load, battery charging, or both. When functioning as a regulated battery charger the converter has a nominal voltage output of 13.6 VDC.
• The system is designed to sense voltage on the battery and automatically selects one of three operating modes (normal, boost, and storage) to provide the correct charge level to the batteries.
• See the website for a detailed explanation of the Charge Wizard® function
• 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

DC SECTION FEATURES

• The REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION CIRCUIT protects the converter in the event a battery is accidentally hooked up backward. Easily accessible ATC-type fuses will blow when a battery is connected in reverse. Correct battery wiring and replace fuses with same type and rating to restore proper operation.
• The DC panel features up to 12 fused positions rated for up to 30 amps, depending on the model, for accessories including ten low-to-full current rated branches. Each branch has an optional LED to indicate a blown branch fuse.
• NOTE: Disconnect all power to the converter before checking or changing fuses!
• CAUTION FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME TYPE AND RATING FUSE.
• Consult a licensed electrician or RV technician for installation assistance

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Check the AC distribution panel for proper operation
Reverse battery fuses blown| Check for reverse battery connection.
Replace fuses with the same type and rating
Short circuit| Trace circuits for possible fault
The unit has shut down due to overheating| Check airflow
Allow the unit to cool
Unit has shut down due to overvoltage (The converter will shut down if the input voltage exceeds 132 VAC)| Check input voltage
Correct input voltage
Low Output| The compartment gets too hot| Check airflow to the converter
Improve ventilation in the compartment
Excessive load for converter| Reduce load requirements or install the larger converter
Input voltage not between 105-130 VAC| Correct input supply voltage
Bad battery cell(s)| Replace battery
Intermittent or no Output on Generator works on Shore Power| The unit has shut down due to overvoltage.| Add another load to the generator, this may reduce the “spikes” to an acceptable level
Some generators exhibit excessive voltage spikes in the AC power output, which may cause over

voltage protection to shut the unit down

| Contact the generator manufacturer for possible defects in the generator
The battery does not charge but the circuits have power| Reverse battery fuses blown.| Check battery polarity. Correct if necessary. Replace fuses.
No battery connection.| Check the wiring to the battery including possible inline fuse.
