Re: Help! Needed! Installing PD 4000
SOLUTION Found! Finally broke down and called progressive dynamics. After questioning the tech for 20 minutes I finally got the secret out of him. This is nowhere mentioned in the installation guide, there's no illustrations of this, not even a hint to someone who is not a professional electrician. The secret that is nowhere mentioned in any of the their literature is... You need to install an additional circuit breaker that jumps to the hot bus. With out that installed the AC all functions, the DC all functions, but the AC will not run the DC. With that circuit breaker and jump everything works including the converter charging the battery beautifuly. And we were right about the DC negative, run everything to the terminal out going to the negative battery.558Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help! Needed! Installing PD 4000
A follow up on this install. After running all negs to wire screw then to the negative battery heres the results. All DC works, all AC works, but there seems to be no function from the actual converter. The system does not see to connect the AC to the DC side to charge the battery. When I read the voltage across the battery feeds, I only read the voltage of the battery. UGG!559Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help replacement furnace problem
This a front output non-ducted rear direct exhust vent. Nothing obstructing it. So the question I guess becomes, is there anything securing the blower fan from the factory I had to remove that i did not? Or what is the minumum voltage necessary to run the blower?301Views0likes0CommentsHelp replacement furnace problem
I just installed a replacement Hydroflame Everestar 8012 II. Hooked up all wires identical to the original. I have gas, I have power, but it continues to give me a flash every three seconds which indicates airflow problem. This is the same indication I had on the original which I replaced. I put in a new thermostat. It's a newer battery, and brand-new power center. Voltage reads very close to 12 V. With lights on just a little less. All the wiring is original to the camper nothing has changed since when the original used to work. Any guesses, suggestions, ideas would be welcome.1.7KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Help! Needed!

ISBRAM wrote: The fuses already on the board are for reverse battery protection and maximum load, if I understand your question you’re asking about the branch dc circuits. There are twelve branch circuits running up and down in the center of the panel, the factory doesn’t install fuses in them so all you see are the terminals on the board that the fuses plug into. There is a place to attach the wire to next to each fuse holding terminal pair for that circuit on the back of the board, then you have to install the proper size fuse for that circuit. There is already a black wire connected to each branch fuse holder, and the fuses are easy. But let's take the pump as an example. There are two leads from the pump. If I connect say the black one to the wire already connected to one of the branch circuit terminal fuse leads what do I do with the other wire going to the pump. I do not see a common bus like those I see for the AC.560Views0likes0CommentsHelp! Needed! Installing PD 4000
I'm installing the PD 4000 power center to replace an old Magnetek. The AC side looks straightforward I understand where I'm going to have to terminate everything. But the DC side I'm not quite understanding. I see where the two lines going to the battery to charge it have to terminate. But then for the fused leads there is only one black wire for each one. What I don't get is where you attach the rest of the circuit for each of these. Like patch them into one of the battery leads that doesn't make sense. Has anyone installed one of these That can tell me or give me pictures of how this works? Much thanks in advance!11KViews0likes10Comments
