Power converter

Posted: 11/16/19 08:46pm Link | Quote | Edit | Print | Notify Moderator
While hooking up this converter, I noticed the green light flashes. If I switch off the auxiliary battery switch, it stays solid green. Do I need to turn this auxiliary switch in or off? Will it charge the batteries while attached to shore power if the auxiliary battery switch is turned off. Thanks

    While you did not say (in the first post) what converter it is. Some of them the Green Light is basically a voltmeter..
    Read the manual to get an idea of the voltage

    The manual MIGHT tell you what the different modes OFF/STEADY Slow flash Fast flash) mean.. or not.

    New member tip--only post in one forum and if wrong one, a moderator will move it.

    Meanwhile you say you have a PowerMax PM3 55LK in your Class A. The PM3LK has its own little green light that says it has 120v power or not and it does not flash.

    So that must mean your flashing green is on the DC fuse panel like some of them have? I don't know what solid and flashing green means with those, which is usually for a PD brand converter with Charge Wizard AFAIK.

    Perhaps it means the aux battery needs charging but the house batt is full?
