3.6 Solar Charge Management
The EC700 PSU incorporates a built-in solar charge management feature, which will monitor the
input from a separate solar panel and regulator. The Solar Active symbol will be displayed on the
control panel when there is an amount of energy available to charge the battery. In a motorhome,
depending on the charge state of the batteries, the solar panel will be directed to the required
battery and continuously monitored to ensure optimum operation.
3.7 Mains Charging
The EC700 PSU incorporates a smart charge feature, which monitors both leisure and vehicle
batteries and automatically adjusts and directs the charger power (and solar power if a solar
panel is installed) to maintain the leisure and vehicle batteries at an optimal level.
3.8 Water Pump Operation
The EC700 control panel pump button operates the internal water pump drawing water from an
internal tank if fitted, or an external container when no internal tank is fitted.
The water tanks (fresh & waste) incorporate a level warning feature to warn the user when the
fresh water level drops below 25% or when the waste water level reaches 100%.
If the water pump power is turned on and the fresh water level drops to below 25% a warning
beep will be heard and a message will be displayed on the control panel. To cancel the warning,
press the ok button.
If the water pump power is turned on and the waste water level rises to full (100%) a warning
beep will be heard and information will be shown on the screen. To cancel the warning, press the
select button.
These warnings will not be repeated unless the water pump power switch is turned off and on
again. This is to ensure the warning does not become a nuisance.
3.9 Water Tank Heaters (frost protection) Operation
The EC700 features the ability to switch on the water tank heater to provide frost protection for
the fresh and waste tanks. The tank heater symbol on the power settings screen of control panel
is lit up blue when this feature is enabled. The tank heaters will only operate if there is over 25%
in the relevant water tank and the external temperature sensor detects that the temperature falls
below 2 degrees C. If the temperature rises above this level the heaters will be switched off but
the feature will remain on.
If the tank heaters are turned on before starting a journey, when the engine is started the tank
heaters will remain on for the duration of the journey. When the engine is stopped the tank
heaters will remain on for a further 15 minutes. If the engine is restarted within this 15 minute
period the tank heaters will remain on, again for the duration of the journey.
When the engine is stopped the tank heaters will turn off after a 15 minute period. To turn them
back on you will need to turn the control panel on and then tank heaters on.
3.10 Lighting Operation
The awning light can again be controlled by a number of items, the local switch adjacent to the
entry door, the control panel awning light button and the lock and unlock system (dependant on
system setting being set to do so). Each item can toggle the light on and off.
3.11 Electric Step Operation
On vehicles fitted with an electric step, this is operated by a button near the entry door. Press
and release the button to move the step in or out. One press of the button will move the step out,
a further press will move the step in again.
