12 Volt - Safe operating procedures
The Air OPUS
®
has many 12V outlets - they are a combination of standard 12V
sockets,12V light sockets, USB sockets and switches. These are located throughout
your camper trailer both internally and externally.
Next to the main door you will find your stereo system, light switch and dimmers for
internal and external fixed body lighting. The dimmers will only operate the build-in
lighting and will not influence any other lighting you run via sockets.
The control panel has a battery volt-meter that will provide an indication of the remaining
charge of the batteries and amp draw display in real time. A full battery will be indicated
by the Battery Level Indicator.
There are also two water tank gauges which will display the water level when pressed.
All switches have their own resetable fuse next to each of the switches in addition toa
master resetable circuit breaker for the whole 12V system located next to these controls.
Your batteries are also fused - in the battery compartment the large resettable fuse is
wired to the 7-pin wiring harness fitted at the drawbar.
All sockets, fridge power and lighting will operate on 12V power from the on board
batteries; heavy usage and power hungry appliances will deplete the battery’s charge.
It is recommended to have the mains 120V connected to a suitable supply if available,
even if appliances are run on 12V only, to ensure your batteries remain topped up.
The battery charger is fully automatic and will recharge the batteries if the
Air OPUS
®
is connected to an 120V electric power supply via the 30amp power inlet.
Do not unplug or disconnect this charger internally
as it may lose memory settings
for your battery set up and affect your charging. This is an automatic cycle charger and
if using, allow enough time for the charger to complete a full charge cycle.
Regular battery maintenance checks (charge once a month) will prolong the life of
your battery as AGM/Deep Cycle Batteries do not like to be drained flat.
Refer to your battery charger instruction manual for further details.
