2016 317RLOK Converter Buzzing Constantly

We have a 2016 317RLOK and the buzzing from the converter is driving me batty. Its a PD 4500? or 4600? series I believe. I'm not with the rig right now so can't be sure of the model number until later.

The green light is a constant fast blink.

Theres absolutely nothing about it buzzing or the constant fast blink in the owners manual and finding anything on line specific about it is frustrating. And I'm dealing with Jayco on another issue right now that they never call me back for so...

So, if anyone has any experience in this your comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Probably no help but my 321RSTS will hum on some days and not at all on others.

Right out of the owner's manual:

NORMAL MODE – When the battery is between 50% and 90% charged, the green LED will flash once per second. When the battery has reached
90% of full charge the green LED will flash 2 - 3 times per second. In this mode the output voltage is 13.6VDC and the converter is safely completing
the charge of the battery.

Grumpy - so does it hum when in the 50-90% mode?

Buzzing is normal on a lot of the converters. I tend to swap out to something solid state as soon as I get a new RV purely for the lack of buzz. If I wake up in the middle of the night I always tend to hear the buzz far too clearly. The solid state converters don't buzz like the transformer based ones do.

It may, you have to remember there is a transformer in it, they will hum under certain conditions.

Best bet would be to call Progressive Dynamics and talk to customer support. They are the experts.
