Installation and Operation Guide for PD9300 Series Power Converter

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

ELECTABLE 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

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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Check AC distribution panel for proper operation
External Fuses Blown| Check for reverse polarity
Replace fuses with same type and rating
Short Circuit| Trace circuits for possible fault
Unit has shutdown due to overheating| Check air flow
Allow unit to cool
Unit has shutdown due to over voltage (Also see Item 4 below)| Check input voltage
Converter will shut down if the input voltage exceeds 132 Volts
Correct input voltage
2. External Fuses Blown| Reverse Battery Hook Up| Correct hook up and replace fuses with same type and rating
3. Low Output| Excessive load for converter| Reduce load requirements or install larger converter
Input voltage not between 105-130 VAC| Correct input supply voltage
Bad battery cell(s)| Replace battery
Mild Overheating| Check air flow
Allow unit to cool
Incorrect Output Mode| Change output mode
4. Intermittent or no Output on Generator, works on Shore Power| Unit has shutdown due to over voltage.| Add another load to the generator, this may reduce the “spikes” to an acceptable level
Some generators exhibit excessive voltage spikes on the AC power output, this may cause the over voltage protection to shut the unit down| Contact generator manufacturer for possible defect in the generator
5. High Output| Incorrect Output Mode| Change output mode
