IMPORTANT & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the converter. ALL CONVERTERS 1. CAUTION — To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid or sealed gel cell type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. 2. Do not expose converter to rain or snow. 3.
Introduction Step up a 12 VDC battery to between 13.5 and 17.0 or 24.0 and 27.5 VDC in 0.5 VDC increments (via 3 position DIP switch), or stabilize a 12 or 24 VDC power system. Safety features include reverse input protection, low input voltage alarm, low output voltage alarm, over temperature shutdown and alarm, and output overvoltage crowbar. If the input voltage exceeds the regulated output voltage, the unit simply passes the voltage through with full LC filtering and a single schottky diode drop (0.
Installation MOUNTING Mount the unit in a DRY location. Allow at least 1 inch of clearance for adequate cooling. POWER CONNECTION The unit is supplied with input power leads 1 meter long. This should normally be adequate to connect to a source of power. If you must extend the cable: • Use the smallest extension length possible. • Use no less than 10 gauge conductors. • Splice and solder the joints. • Protect the joints with heat shrink tubing.
Troubleshooting • If the load exceeds the continuous rating for too long a period, the internal temperature sensor will cause the unit to stop boosting the input voltage until the unit has cooled down. After the unit has cooled down, normal operation will resume. • If the input voltage drops below the specified minimum input, the unit will sound the alarm. • If the output voltage drops below the specified minimum, the unit will sound the alarm.
Remote Control Option A remote control panel may be connected to the converter using a 9-pin D-connector, which attaches to the side of the converter. The remote control panel and D connector are part of the remote control option. The remote control panel allows the unit to be operated remotely as well as duplicating all the diagnostic indicators and audible alarm. IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Voltage Converters manufactured by Analytic Systems.
