Description
5355R Parallax Replacement Converter Lower Section
The 5355R Parallax Replacement Converter Lower Section is a solid-state electronic power supply and is maintenance-free. These revolutionary RV power converters utilize technology developed for power supplies in computers that provides a clean and stable, voltage-regulated output while also providing safety features designed to help protect the converter against over-temperature and output overload. The Parallax 5300 series electronic power converter has been tested to comply with stringent safety standards and is Intertek/ETL listed.
The 5355R Parallax Replacement Converter Lower Section is designed to supply the nominal 12-volt filtered DC power for all 12-volt operated devices encountered in RV service. Although the converter is an excellent battery charger, the converter does not require a battery to be connected to it for proper operation.
TempAssure™ (Patent US 7,245,109)
Your 5355R Parallax Replacement Converter Lower Section includes the (optional) TempAssure™ module and sensor cable. When properly installed, the TempAssure™ system employs technology that allows the output voltage of the converter to be varied by the temperature of the RV’s “house” battery system. The benefit of this feature helps to provide a more appropriate charging voltage for the “house” battery system exposed to varying ambient temperatures. For example, in cold climates the output voltage of the converter will be increased, which results in a more fully charged and maintained battery. In hot climates the output voltage of the converter will automatically lower, which will aid in reducing excessive out-gassing of the battery caused by the battery requiring a lower “float” voltage. Also with the addition of the TempAssure™ module and sensor cable, the 5300 series converter will automatically start out in a “boost” mode for the first 4 hours of operation every time the 5300 series converter is powered “on”. The output voltage of a TempAssure™ equipped 5300 series converter will still be temperature compensated, even while in “boost” mode.
