The Progressive
Dynamics 9200 Series INTELI-POWER converters are UL listed for
the US and Canada. They provide safe, reliable, filtered DC power to
all Recreational Vehicle 12-Volt lighting and appliance circuits. The
Inteli-Power converter also safely recharges and maintains the RV
battery and has a two-year limited warranty.
|
The
built-in Charge Wizard is a microprocessor-controller that constantly
monitors the RV battery voltage to determine if the battery requires a
quick recharge, is fully charged and being used, or is fully charged
and is in storage. The Charge Wizard then selects one of four operating
modes
(Boost, Normal, Storage, or Desulfation) to properly re-charge or
maintain the battery.

INTELI-POWER 9200 SERIES
OPERATION
Progressive
Dynamics 9200 Series Electronic Power Converters have several features
that differ from other electronic power converters presently marketed
to the RV industry. Reliability data over the past eight years on over
400,000 units in the field have proven that these design features
increase our reliability and provide the following additional customer
benefits.
1.
ELECTRONIC CURRENT LIMITING – This safety feature will rapidly
reduce the output current in case of an electrical short or overload
condition. This rapid shutdown like the circuit breaker in your house
prevents possible RV wiring and converter damage. The converter
automatically returns to normal operation when the short or overload is
corrected.
2.
VARIABLE SPEED INTELLIGENT COOLING FAN – Solid state
temperature sensing and control system automatically monitors converter
temperature and activates the fan at speed required. Very slow, quiet
speeds are used when demand is low, such as during sleeping hours. Some
competitive converters use Electro-mechanical devices to provide
temperature sensing and fan control. Electro-mechanical sensors are
more subject to failure and may stick in the closed mode causing the
fan to operate all the time, resulting in an irritating noise. They can
also fail to close during high temperature conditions and prevent the
fan from operating. This failure may cause over heating and possible
converter failure.
3.
AUTOMATIC THERMAL SHUTDOWN – This safety feature will shut the
converter down in the unlikely event of a fan failure and prevent
damage to the converter. This safety feature will also activate if the
area where the converter is mounted is too small, has inadequate
ventilation, or is accidentally covered by the customer. This Automatic
Thermal Shutdown turns the converter off when unit temperature exceeds
150 degrees F. Please refer to the installation instructions for
information regarding spacing and ventilation requirements.
4.
LOW LINE VOLTAGE PROTECTION – The Progressive Dynamics 9200
Series Converters will operate at low AC line voltages without damage.
This feature is especially important in RV campgrounds where AC line
voltage can be as low as 90 volts. Low AC line voltages may damage
competitive converters. Low Line Voltage Protection will automatically
shut converter down if input voltage is insufficient. This also
protects your 12-volt appliances from damaging low voltage
irregularities. The converter will automatically return to normal
operation when adequate line voltage is available.
5.
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION – All converters incorporate our
patented High Voltage Shutdown circuitry. This feature automatically
shuts the converter down to protect sensitive electronics in the event
of high voltage transients on the AC power line, or if the RV generator
regulator should momentarily fail. The converter will automatically
return to normal operation when the high voltage transient is corrected.
6.
REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION – Our patented Reverse Battery
circuitry prevents converter damage and unnecessary warranty calls in
the event the customer or dealer accidentally connects the battery in
reverse. Simple replacement of the fuse(s) located on the front of the
converter restores the unit to normal operation. Some competitive
converters can be damaged and require replacement if the battery leads
are accidentally reversed.
7.
BUILT-IN ACCESSORY PORT – All PD9200 Series Power Converters
incorporate an accessory port for the optional Converter
Status Remote Pendant which is used to monitor the Charge Wizard
operating modes.
