The
Charge Wizard PD9105 (for
Lead-Acid and AGM type Batteries) is designed to plug
into the standard TCMS port located on the front of all
models of the Inteli-Power 9100 Series Converters (see drawing
below). The Charge Wizard is a microprocessor-controlled
unit that constantly monitors the RV battery voltage and then
selects one of three charging voltages and one of four operating
modes to properly re-charge and maintain the RV battery. The
addition of the Charge Wizard makes your 9100 Series
converter an intelligent battery charger that will safely and
rapidly recharge a discharged battery by selecting the Boost
Mode (14.4V) of operation. Once the battery reaches 90% of
full charge, the Charge Wizard automatically selects the
Normal Mode (13.6V) to safely complete the charge. The
Storage Mode (13.2V) is automatically selected after 30 hours
of non-use of the 12-volt RV electrical systems. The lower
charging voltage |

|
in the Storage
Mode of operation reduces battery gassing and water usage,
while maintaining the charge. Every 21 hours when the system is
operating in the Storage Mode, the Charge Wizard
will automatically switch to the Equalizing Mode of
operation. The Equalizing Mode increases the charging
voltage up to 14.4 volts for 15 minutes. This increased voltage
mixes up the battery electrolyte and prevents battery
stratification and the resulting problems of battery sulfation.

WHAT IS THE
CHARGE WIZARD?
The Charge Wizard is a
microprocessor-controlled device designed to operate exclusively with
Progressive Dynamics 9100 Series Inteli-Power Converters. It constantly
monitors the RV battery, then automatically adjusts the converter output
voltage based on its charge status. The Charge Wizard has four (4)
operating Modes (BOOST, NORMAL, STORAGE AND EQUALIZE). Each Mode is
automatically selected by the microprocessor and ensures a fast yet safe
recharge for your RV battery.
Charge Wizard
Indicator...
The Charge Wizard has a
light that indicates the Mode it is operating in as follows.
LIGHT “ON” AT
ALL TIMES – Indicates the Charge Wizard is in the Boost Mode
(Converter output voltage set to 14.4-volts)
LIGHT “BLINKS”
ON AND OFF FROM ONCE TO MANY TIMES A SECOND. – The Charge Wizard is in the
Normal Mode (Converter output voltage set to 13.6-volts).
LIGHT “BLINKS”
ON AND OFF APPROX. EVERY 6 TO 8 SECONDS. – The Charge Wizard is in
the Storage Mode (Converter output voltage set to 13.2-volts).

The Mode Select
Switch...
The Charge Wizard
functions are fully automatic however, you can test the Charge Wizard’s
functions manually by pressing and holding the MODE SELECT SWITCH BUTTON
DOWN. When the button is first pressed, the light will be “ON” all the
time, indicating it is in the BOOST Mode (converter output 14.4 VDC). If
you continue to hold the button, the unit will switch to the NORMAL Mode
(converter output 13.6 VDC) and the light will blink from once to many times
a second. If you continue to hold the button down the unit will go into
the STORAGE Mode (converter output 13.2 VDC) and the light will blink
approximately every six (6) to eight (8) seconds. NOTE: No matter which
mode you manually select, the Charge Wizard will automatically return to
the NORMAL Mode of operation after 4 -hours.
