If you are installing a CS2000 (or replacing an old unit), follow these steps:
You do not need to cut a massive new hole in your RV cabinetry. You can easily swap the internals or the entire deck mount unit with modern, 3-stage or 4-stage smart chargers:
Because Centurion units use older linear technology rather than modern smart-stage switching technology, they are prone to specific failure modes over time:
Route the main 30A shore power line into the back of the converter casing using an approved strain-relief connector. Connect the wire to the ground bus bar. Connect the White Neutral wire to the neutral bus bar.
G --> J[Trailer Battery<br>Positive Terminal]
Use a digital multimeter to measure the voltage across your RV battery terminals. Analyze the Reading:
When looking at the back or internal wire harness of the Centurion CS 2000, you will find a distinct color-coded system. Connecting these wires improperly can destroy your RV electronics or cause an electrical fire. 120V AC Shore Power Side (Left/Main Breaker Panel)
Connects to the positive terminal of individual DC fuse circuits (lights, water pump, fridge control board) 12V DC Common Ground
Perhaps the most intimidating portion of the wiring diagram for the novice is the DC output and battery connection interface. The Centurion CS 2000 is designed to be hardwired into the RV’s 12-volt distribution panel. The diagram differentiates between the positive and negative leads, typically using red and white (or black) wiring, respectively.
If you are replacing an old unit or rewiring a loose Centurion CS2000, follow this wiring sequence: Step 1: Mount and Ground the Chassis
: Connects to the RV’s ground point or metal chassis. 2. DC Output & Battery Connections (Low Voltage)
