Install Instructions for the Progressive Dynamics 9100 Converter

Question

Question:

I just purchased a PD9130lv converter/ charger from etrailer.com and I have been researching how to install it to replace the current Magnetex 6332. My question concerns the blue wire labelled converter outputinch on the Magnetex conv. which is connected to the dc distribution panel along with the red and white wires to the battery. I see where the red and white wires connect to the PD9130lv but not sure where to connect the blue wire. Thank you. Peace, I have a 2000, 24 ft. Winnebago RV on a Ford 350 Super Duty chassis.

I went ahead and looked up the instructions for the Progressive Dynamics 9100 Inteli-Power Lithium Converter # PD4645V and was able to find some more info for you. For the install instructions, you'll need to:

1. Secure converter firmly to mounting surface.

2. Connect chassis ground lug (found on unit base)
to chassis.
• Ground wire to be between 6 and 12AWG
wire.

3. Disconnect battery from both positive (+) and
ground (-) cables.

4. Connect battery ground (-) to converter NEG (-)
lug.
• Conductor to be between 2 and 14AWG
(follow all applicable codes when sizing
conductor).

5. Disconnect any optional pendants or modules.

6. Plug converter into appropriate outlet.

7. Using a DC voltmeter, verify converter output.

8. Disconnect power to converter.

9. Connect battery positive (+) to converter POS (+)
lug.
• Conductor to be between 2 and 14AWG
(follow all applicable codes when sizing
conductor).

Note: When connecting battery to converter
POS (+), a spark may occur. This is normal.

10. Reconnect cables.

11. Reconnect any optional pendants or modules.

12. Reconnect power to converter.

I have also included a diagram to go with these directions for you to check out as well.
