Default Waeco/Adler Barbour refrig - strange behaviour.


"Brian Whatcott" wrote

The Waeco manual says:

12v Cut-in voltage 11.7V Cut-out voltage 10.4V
24V Cut-In voltage 24.2V Cut-Out voltage 22.8V

Distance from batteries is about 10 ft. Wire size is 8ga except for
Mobitronics unit which has short leads of lighter wiring (about 1ft

in/out)

Do you think it is possible I am getting cutout due to too HIGH a

voltage?

It certainly looks that way to me. But I am evidently naive in this
area: why cut in at 11.7V when the voltage of a freshly charged
battery is around 12.5V ??

Brian,

These numbers puzzled me too.

I think it may mean that the controls will turn the unit off at 10.4v so as
to protect the battery and will turn back on again when voltage reaches
11.7v.
