EC800 Power Control System Issue 01 Page 1 of 22 10th July 2018 1 Introduction This section of the handbook will guide you through the operation of the electrical system. All details are correct at the time of going to press. Please also see the online version which will include any later updates or amendments. Further technical details are contained in section 3 or in the supporting technical manual available from www.sargentltd.co.uk For the safe operation of all electrical equipment within your Leisure Vehicle it is important that you read and fully understand these instructions. If you are unsure of any point please contact your dealer / distributor for advice before use. The system has a number of key components that you will need to be familiar with before attempting to use the system, these are: · The EC601, EC602, EC652 or EC653 Power Supply Unit (PSU) - a combined mains consumer unit and 12V controller usually located in a storage area (lower bed box, wardrobe or similar). · The EC800 Control Panel (CP) - a remotely located user control panel used to turn circuits on and off and to display battery, water tank and other system information. This panel uses graphical touchscreen with straightforward controls and reliable data communication to the PSU. · The PX300 Intelligent Battery charger 300W. · The C44+ Road Light Fuse Box - This small unit, which is unique to caravans, is located in the front bed box. The unit houses fuses for the road lighting circuits and supplies from the tow vehicle, and also has connectors for the optional alarm system and Automatic Trailer Control (ATC) unit. 2 Using the System 2.1 Power Supply Unit - Component Layout The PSU is located in the front offside bed box area in caravans, and in similar locations in motorhomes. EC800 Power Control System Issue 01 Page 2 of 22 10th July 2018 2.2 Activating the System The system has a shutdown feature that can be used when the vehicle is in storage. This allows the leisure electronics to be turned off when not required to save battery power. When in the off state the alarm and tracking system supplies are still active, all other supplies are turned off. Before using the system please ensure the system shutdown switch is in the on position (button in) the system is now active. Note: if you plan to use the Swift Command remote features the system needs to be active. 2.3 Connecting to the Mains 230V supply and Safety checks For your safety it is IMPORTANT that you follow these connections instructions each time your Leisure Vehicle is connected to a mains supply. This section assumes that the system is complete and that a Leisure battery has been installed (see 3.4). A) Ensure suitability of the Mains Supply. Your Leisure Vehicle should only be connected to an approved supply that meets the requirements of BS7671 or relevant harmonised standards. In most cases the site warden will hold information regarding suitability of supply. If using a generator you also need to comply with the requirements / instructions supplied with the generator. Please note that some electronic generators may not be compatible with your leisure system. Further generator operational information is contained in section 3.2. B) Switch the PSU Battery Charger / Power Converter OFF. Locate the green ‘Charger’ power switch on the PSU and ensure the switch is in the off position (button out) before connection to the mains supply. C) Connect the Hook-up Lead. Firstly connect the supplied hook-up lead (orange cable with blue connectors) to the Leisure Vehicle and then connect to the mains supply. D) Check Residual Current Device operation. Locate the RCD within the PSU and ensure the RCD is switched on (lever in up position). Press the ‘Test’ button and confirm that the RCD turns off (lever in down position). Switch the RCD back to the on position (lever in up position). If the test button failed to operate the RCD see section 3.1. E) Check Miniature Circuit Breakers. Locate the MCB’s within the PSU (adjacent to the RCD) and ensure they are all in the on (up) position. If any MCB’s fail to ‘latch’ in the on position see section 3.1. F) Turn the PSU ON. Locate the black ‘Shutdown’ button and ensure it is in the on position (press button in). Locate the green ‘Charger’ switch on the PSU and turn to the on position (press button in). The charger switch will illuminate when turned on. G) Check correct Polarity. Locate the ‘Reverse polarity’ indicator on the PSU and ensure that the indicator is NOT illuminated. If the indicator is illuminated see section 3.2. H) Check operation of equipment. It is now safe to operate the 12V and 230V equipment. 2.4 Operation while driving The power control system is designed to shutdown parts of the system while the engine is running. This is to meet Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations and to ensure the safe operation of the caravan or motorhome. With the engine running the screen will show a warning ‘ENGINE RUNNING’. Please ensure the system shutdown switch on the PSU is in the on (button in) position before driving (see 2.2). This will ensure the electronic system is active and will therefore be able to control the charging process, supply the refrigerator and monitor other system circuits. On motorhomes if / when fitted, designated 12V sockets, en-route reading lights and en-route heating will remain operational while the engine is running. Some caravans may also be specified with en-route heating which will also remain operational while the engine is running.
