Ok i think i got a handle on this?

i checked my system and there isent anything under my sink except
part of the ducting heater lines.what i have found is this setup.its set up as follows tu4402 charger converter box tu 30b 12 volt fuse distrubution panel.then theres a junction box(triadautrad)then the house fuse panel.does this sound like a normal set up.it dosent seem to have a buz box.and it dosent seem to make any sounds when on shore lines or my generator.

Id hate to buy new batterys then have them boil out?


Thanks in advance..

Don,

The buzz box was a charger converter so the tu 4402 charger converter could
be the unit that replaced it.

What's the brand name on the tu 4402?

Thanks

Don,

I did a Google search for Triad Autrad and it came back with " Did you mean:
Triad Utrad?" So I tried that and evidently Triad-Utrad is a division of
Litton. Unfortunately that's all I could find out.

You might want to poke around Google some more you might be able to find out
some info on the unit.

Something rings a bell... ran out to the storage van, my old Buzz Box is labeled "Triad Utrad TU-440-2" and "Litton." (Or something close.)

If yours doesn't make any noise with 120vac power applied to the coach, it is most likely bad. You should check the input and put a meter on the output.

Don,

Mike has solved the issue and since it IS a buzz box you should not leave it
on as it WILL boil the batteries dry.

If it is not working or want to update to a current technology 3 stage
charger I would suggest you get a Progressive Dynamics PD9245 or if you want
a bit more capacity a PD9260.

I found a PD9245 on eBay for $119.00; see item 350250203927. In that auction
the seller provides a link to the operating manual so you can read up on how
it works.

This company also sells a pendant with an LED that advises what mode the
PD9245 is operating in; see item 260399969331.
