User Guide
Your RV manufacturer’s installation may also allow you to manually trigger the “boost”
function by pressing a switch. (optional wiring configuration)
While the 5300 series converter with the addition of the (optional) TempAssure™
module is designed to provide a better means of charging and maintaining the “house”
battery, Parallax Power Supply strongly recommends proper battery maintenance be
performed by the owner on non-maintenance free batteries following the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations.
DO NOT allow the battery cell plates on non-maintenance free batteries to become
exposed to the air. Poor battery performance will result.
Parallax Power Supply will not be responsible for battery failure resulting from improper
battery maintenance.
MOUNTING LOCATION
The 5300 series converter is designed for indoor use only.
DO NOT mount in harsh environments; avoid areas where high levels of dust, dirt,
or moisture may occur.
DO NOT mount the power converter in battery compartments or in areas where
flammable materials are stored.
Mount to a vertical surface with the front of the converter open to the living area of
the RV.
MOUNTING CLEARANCES
Provide a minimum of 22 inches clearance to the front of the converter. Leave
adequate room behind the converter for wire routing and air intake for the fan located
at the rear of converter.
DO NOT mount in zero-clearance compartments; overheating and thermal shut down
will result.
INPUT SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Connect to a 120/240 VAC 60HZ 3-pole, 4-wire with ground supply. DO NOT use
circuit protection larger than 50-ampere.
CONVERTER TO BATTERY WIRING
The battery supply wire from fuse block terminal “POS +” to the battery must be of
adequate size and rating and must be protected within 18 inches of the battery
with an appropriately rated fuse or breaker.
