2.2 Activating the System
The EC175 system has a shutdown feature
that should be used when the vehicle is in
storage or is not being used for long periods
of time. 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, most other supplies are turned off.
Before using the system please ensure the
system shutdown switch is in the on position
(button in).
PSU - 12V Controls
The black system shutdown button is shown
on the left. In is on and out is off.
The other two switches are for 230V.
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 3.3).
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 elsewhere in this
manual.
B) Switch the PSU internal 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 & 3.8.
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 & 3.8.
F) Turn the PSU ON. Locate the black
‘Shutdown’ button and ensure it is in the on
position (press button to change, button in =
on, button out = off). Locate the green
‘Charger’ switch on the PSU and turn to the
on position (press button to change, button
in = on, button out = off). The charger switch
will illuminate when turned on.
G) Check operation of equipment. It is now
safe to operate the 12v and 230v
equipment.
