HEAVY DUTY DC-DC CONVERTERS OPERATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Your NEWMAR Power Converter is the product of a company with 30 years experience in the design and manufacture ‘of power supplies for communication and navigation applications Constructing power products that will survive hostile environments requires Special electrical components and engineering techniques that NEWMAR hasdeveloped through years of fieldtesting and evaluation, The result is a line of converters that is built to survive hea hhumicity, dust, high power demands, and other hostile’ conditions encountered aboard work boats, offshore platforms, yachis and in heavy equipment used in ‘openpitmining, logging andconstruction e're confident your NEWMAR Converter will serve you well. Please read the installation ‘instructions and recommendations on the back ofthis page to assure proper operation of your converter. FEATURES, * Critical line regulation design maintains DC output voltage within 1% regardlessof varying DC input voltages or changing load conditions. + Automatic thermal overload protection prevents internal damage from high temperatures due to ambient conditions and/or overloads. + Low output ripple eliminates electronic noise and interference. + Overvoltage protection prevents damage to equipment due to line spikes or ‘component failure. + Automatic current limiting eliminates damage from shortsand output overload, + Maintenance free solid state citeuitry sures years of dependable service. + Conformal coated printed circuit board assures years of dependable service. + Rugged, rust and corrosion proof ease of ‘anodized aluminum with integral oversized heat sink provides convection cooling of components. + Integralshockmountsreduce component vibration. + + Allcomponents selected fordependable performance in the most hostile environments, + Each unit thoroughly tested and inspected before shipment. + Twoyear limited warranty. + - EXCEPT 3 AMP MODEL +} EXCEPT 3 & 6 AMP MODELS THEORY OF OPERATION} HIGHLY REGULATED, LOW RIPPLE, DC-DC CONVERTER mH om 1 Ca du 5 OL 4 FILTER INPUT FROM REFLECTED SWITCHING REGULATE BY VARYING "ON" TIME FILTER TO PURE DC AND ELIMINATE RIPPLE PROTECT SENSITIVE LOADS FROM OVERVOLTAGE CONDITIONS STANDARD SERIES HEAVY DUTY DC CONVERTERS vie amine WE Opts Caste Weight 2) tow om Line rea tags M-DCDCCN-H AS OF SEPTEMBER 2002,INSTALLATION The Converter can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical position, Heavy duty ‘mounts with integral shock pads assure a secure installation and protect the components {rom vibration, The Converter should not be ‘mounted near hatches, water or oil pumps, battery vapors or exhaust manifolds.
