Product Manual

AC/DC POWER SUPPLY

This provides an isolated 13.65 V DC output for powering of the load

and charging of the battery. Battery current is sensed and monitored by

the power supply to limit the charging current to 15 A or 30 A maximum

depending on the model. Refer to About the Genius-II Power Supply.

FAULT PROTECTION

The power supply provides automatic protection for overload including short

circuit, over-voltage, over-temperature and reverse connected battery.

In overload, short circuit, and over voltage condition the power supply will

shut down. It will then automatically attempt to restart every 5 seconds until

such case that the fault is removed.

FUSING

Each load circuit and the caravan battery connection have been fused to

provide fault protection and discrimination. Refer to the servicing section for

fuse ratings.

BATTERY CHARGING FEATURES

The power supply (Genius-II) provides full battery management as per the

following: The power supply is a three stage battery charger with Boost,

Float, and Store charging modes to ensure long battery life. Charging

current is limited to a maximum of 15 A or 30 A maximum depending on the

model. Details of the charging process can be found in the Battery Charging

Management section below.

The power supply is able to deliver 35 A maximum to the battery and

loads on all models. For GENIUS-II, GENIUS-IIA and GENIUS-IIN, the 15 A

battery charging rate is only possible if the load current is 20A or less. If the

load current exceeds 20 A, the maximum battery charging current will be

reduced accordingly. The same logic goes for GENIUS-IIH, GENIUS-IIHA and

GENIUS-IIHN models, but have maximum battery charge current of 30 A.

Note that for the Genius-II to operate in the manner described above, all

loads must be connected to load terminals, not directly to the caravan

battery.

Low Voltage Disconnection of the batteries is provided to prevent deep

discharge of the battery. Automatic reconnection occurs when battery

voltage recovers. Battery Current Drain is less than 3 mA.
