CONVERTER OPERATION
The Parallax 7100 Series electronic power converter is designed to
supply the nominal 12-volt filtered DC power for all 12-volt operated
devices encountered In RV service. Although the converter is an
excellent battery charger, the converter does not require a battery to
be connected to It for proper operation. Caution When installing a
battery(s) always observe polarity. Connecting a battery
reverse-polarity will blow the power converter main fuses located on
the 12-volt DC distribution fuseblock.
If the 12-volt load exceeds the converter output rating the output
voltage will drop to prevent any further increase in current. Turn off
some lights or appliances and the output voltage will automatically
restore. The same will occur if the converter exceeds sale operating
temperature limits. Check to see that the converter?s air circulation
is not blocked or turn off some of the 12-volt load,
