Centurion CS 2000

The (sometimes branded under American Enterprise) is a 20-amp RV power converter designed to transform 120V AC shore power into 12V DC power for your lights, fans, and battery charging. While this unit is now discontinued, many older RVs still rely on it. Centurion CS 2000 Wiring Diagram Overview

The diagram illustrates the path of the "hot" wire through a relay. This is a crucial component often misunderstood without the schematic. The Centurion CS 2000 utilizes a relay system designed to switch the converter on and off based on the presence of AC power. When shore power is connected, the diagram shows the energizing of the relay coil, which closes the contacts and allows the transformer to operate. When shore power is lost, the relay opens, effectively isolating the converter. Understanding this relay logic through the diagram is vital for diagnosing units that fail to power up; a failure here is often a broken relay connection, a fault that is invisible without tracing the lines on the schematic.

• Input terminals: labeled for positive (+) and negative (−) DC input or live (L) and neutral (N) for AC models. The diagram will specify acceptable input voltage range and recommended fuse or circuit breaker rating.
• Output terminals: labeled for output positive and negative with specified nominal voltage (e.g., 12 V, 24 V) and maximum current rating.
• Ground/earth terminal: a dedicated earth lug connecting to the system chassis ground for safety and noise suppression.
• Remote sense and remote on/off: some converters include sense lines to compensate for voltage drop at the load and remote enable/disable terminals for system control.
• Status indicators and alarms: wiring for LEDs, alarm relays, or fault outputs that signal overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, or fan failure.
• Internal protective devices: fuses, thermal cutouts, and transient-voltage suppressors are often indicated so installers know what protections are built-in versus required externally.
• Additional accessories: wiring for optional external battery, charger, or parallel operation links (if supported).

Testing:

Use a multimeter to verify correct polarity and voltage at both input and output terminals before finalizing connections.
