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.
Operation Turn the power switch on the front of the unit on to energize the outputs. To adjust the output voltage, turn off the power switch. Remove the plate from the top of the box. Reach in with a non-conductive device such as a pencil and open or close the dip switches as shown below to select the desired output voltage. Replace the plate. Turn the power switch on.
