3. Trickle Charge (Float): Maintains the battery at a safe voltage, preventing overcharging and self-discharge.
4. Equalization Charge (Desulfation): Aplica periòdicament un volum més alttage to break down sulfate crystals, extending battery life, especially for lead-acid batteries.

3.2. Versatile Output Modes

The converter offers three selectable fixed output modes to suit various applications and battery types:

• 13.0 V: Ideal for general 12V DC power supply without battery charging.
• 14.6 V: Recommended for charging most Lead-Acid and Lithium batteries.
• 16.5 V: Used for specific battery types or equalization processes, consult your battery manufacturer's specifications.

3.3. Built-in Protections

For enhanced safety and durability, the unit includes:

• Protecció de polaritat inversa: Guards against damage from incorrect battery connections.
• Protecció de sobrecàrrega: Prevents damage due to excessive current draw.
• Protecció tèrmica: Shuts down the unit if internal temperatures become too high.

4. Configuració i instal·lació

The RecPro power converter is designed for straightforward installation and can serve as a direct replacement for many older converter models. It is suitable for RV, automotive, boat, and other 12V power applications.

4.1. Muntatge

Mount the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed to allow for proper airflow and cooling. Avoid mounting in zero-clearance compartments or areas with flammable materials.

4.2. Connexions de cablejat

All wiring should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.

1. Entrada de CA: Connect the 110V AC input power cord to a suitable AC power source.
2. Sortida de corrent continu: Connect the DC output terminals to your 12V DC distribution panel or directly to your battery bank.
3. Mesura de filferro: Per al 125 Amp model, it is critical to use appropriate heavy-gauge wiring for DC connections to handle the high current. Refer to industry standards for 125 Amp applications, typically 0 AWG or 1 AWG, depending on cable length. Ensure connections are secure and tight.
4. Polaritat: Double-check that positive (+) connections are made to positive terminals and negative (-) connections to negative terminals.

The unit features easy-to-connect hookups for simplified wiring.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Encès

Once all connections are securely made and verified, connect the AC input power. The unit will automatically begin operating.

5.2. Output Mode Selection

The converter typically defaults to a standard charging voltage (e.g., 14.6V). If your model allows for manual selection of the 13.0V, 14.6V, or 16.5V output modes, refer to the specific controls on your unit. Ensure the selected voltage is appropriate for your connected batteries or 12V system.

5.3. Llum indicador LED

The LED indicator light on the unit provides status information:

• Llum verda: Indicates normal operation and charging.
• Llum vermella: May indicate a fault condition, such as reverse polarity or overload. Refer to the troubleshooting section.
