Maklumat Keselamatan
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not remove cover; no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not touch non-insulated portions of battery connections. To reduce risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or spray. 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.
CAUTION: To prevent fire, do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings. Do not mount in zero clearance compartment, may cause equipment to overheat.
Always ensure proper ventilation around the unit. Disconnect all power sources (AC and DC) before performing any installation or maintenance.

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your converter. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Lokasi dan Pemasangan
Choose a mounting location that allows for adequate ventilation and is free from flammable materials. The unit should be bolted down securely using the integrated mounting tabs on the base.
Rajah 2: Bawah view showing mounting tabs for secure installation.
2. Sambungan Elektrik
Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent fire hazards. Connect the 120VAC power source to the converter's AC input. For DC output, connect your RV's 12VDC system to the converter's positive (POS+) and negative (NEG-) terminals. Ensure proper grounding (FG terminal).

3. Battery Type Selection (Voltage Adjustment)
The converter supports various battery types. Adjust the output voltage using the selector switch on the side of the unit to match your battery's requirements:
- 13.0V: Standard charge for certain battery types.
- 14.6V: Recommended for most lead-acid and lithium batteries for full charge.
- 16.5V: Equalization charge for specific battery maintenance (consult your battery manufacturer's guidelines).
