Installation Manual


Do not replace the converter unless the following checks have been performed:
1. Loosen the screw on the positive terminal and disconnect the positive wire. Read the converter output voltage using a
DC voltmeter. The power converter is working properly if the voltage is above 13VDC (12V models), 26VDC (24V
models, 14.3VDC (12V 9100L models), and 28.4VDC (24V 9100-24L models).
2. If the converter output is zero volts, use an AC voltmeter to check for proper voltage at the 120VAC outlet that the
converter is plugged into. This voltage should be between 105 and 130 volts (206 and 265 volts for 230V models).
3. Check the fuses located at the front of the converter. These fuses will only blow if the battery or DC output leads
were connected in reverse, even for a moment. Replace the fuses and repeat step 1.
4. Disconnect optional Remote Pendant, TCMS Charge Wizard, or Remote Shutdown Module. Read the converter
output voltage using a DC voltmeter. The power converter is working properly if the voltage is above 13VDC (12V
models), 26VDC (24V models, 14.3VDC (12V 9100L models), and 28.4VDC (24V 9100-24L models).
NOTES:
 When replacing fuse(s) it may be necessary to remove the TCMS plug or lithium shutdown module (if so equipped)
to provide clearance for fuse replacement.
 Disconnect all power sources before replacing fuses.
