FRANKIA OPERATING MANUAL

Switch on, switch off:
The device is optimised for extremely energy-saving operation and therefore has three operating modes.
Standby:
In standby mode, the display has no content. An “ON” only appears when the switching output is switched on. Display
with and without lighting: When the MT 5000iQ is operated, the display lighting is switched on and remains activated for
3 minutes. If no further operation takes place within this time, the lighting switches off automatically. The display conti-
nues to show the same content, as with the lighting Pressing any button again activates the display lighting again. Only
the second press on a button performs the actual function of the button.
Switch on from standby:
From standby, the device can either be switched on completely or only the clock function. If Button 2 (middle) is pressed
to switch on, switching can only be done between the clock and thermometer displays. The MT 5000iQ will automati-
cally return to standby mode after 30 seconds. If all functions of the MT 5000iQ are to be displayed, the device must
be switched on with Button 3 (right). Now it remains switched on until you press Button 3 (right) again to put the device
back into standby mode.
BCB mode:
If the device is connected to a BCB, this is indicated by a marker centrally at the bottom of the screen (between the
markers for Home and On-board battery). If the marker flashes, the isolating relay on the BCB is activated.
Battery computer displays:
•
The measurement and display values of the battery computer functions are scrolled through
with Button 1 (left).
•
Voltage:
The voltage of the on-board battery (B1) and a second battery (B2) e.g. start battery
can be displayed. The marking triangles at the bottom of the display point to the displayed
battery.
•
Current:
The current display provides information about the load or charge of the battery at
that time. The display shows the measured current, which flows in or out of the battery at that
time. If the current flows into the battery, the display shows a positive current as well as the
charging symbol “CHARGE”. If the current flows from the battery, it is negative and is shown
with a minus sign.
•
Capacity display:
The capacity of the on-board battery is displayed in ampere hours (Ah) and
in percent (%) of the nominal capacity. The bar graph on the left of the display also shows the
capacity in 10% steps.
•
Remaining time display:
The remaining runtime is calculated from the remaining capacity
(up to the set switch-off threshold) and the current at that time. Of course, if no current flows
from the battery, no remaining period can be calculated. -.- is displayed. The remaining time
display is only active when there is no charging current (via photovoltaic or mains connection).

Clock displays:
The measurement and display values of the clock and thermometer functions are scrolled through with Button 2 (middle).
•
Time:
The current time is displayed. The colon between hours and minutes flashes every second.
•
Date:
The display of the date can be recognised by the separating point between day and month.
Access to the menu:
Hold down Button 3 (right) for more than 3 seconds until “Set” flashes. The settings in the menu can be changed with
Buttons 1 (left) and 2 (middle). Button 3 switches the menu to the next step. The changes are saved automatically.
4.8 Platin (Option)
As a supplement to your FRANKIA motorhome, the BÜTTNER ELEKTRONIK technology package in the Platin Edition,
offers perfect energy management on board. For you, this means extra performance, comfort and independence. The
components of the Platin Edition are perfectly coordinated with one another and ensure high-quality power supply and
charging in all areas - even during short journeys and charging processes. Thanks to the solar modules and the optio-
nally connectable EFOY fuel cell, you can also achieve a significant increase in service life and great independence from
the power connection. The individual components of this technology package are described below with their function
and operation.
On board batteries:
The integrated on-board batteries have a total capacity of 220Ah. The batteries have the latest lithium iron phosphate
(LiFePo) technology. Both body-batteries are charged automatically:
1.
when connecting to the 230 volt mains via the charger (MT-1240 CAC) with lithium characteristic,
2.
with the engine running via the charging booster (MT-Lb90) with lithium characteristic, and
3.
via the solar module according to the prevailing weather conditions.
Care and maintenance of the LiFePo battery system:
•
The state of charge of the batteries should be checked regularly; recharge the batteries if necessary.
•
Check the pole terminals for a secure fit.
•
If the motorhome is going to be out of use for a long period of time, you must make sure that the
batteries are recharged to 50% -80% at regular intervals (every 2-3 months). If a 230V external connection
is available, the charging devices generally take over the recharging automatically. If the vehicle is outdoors,
this function is usually also performed by the solar system.
