Air OPUS®
12 VOLT POWER
12 Volt - Safe operating procedures
TOWING WIRING
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 50amp Anderson plug 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 240V 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 240V electric power supply via the 15amp 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.
Your towing vehicle must have an in-car electric brake controller
installed or your warranty will be voided
.
The trailer lights and electric brakes are wired to a standard 7 pin trailer plug. The Air OPUS® is
fitted with electric brakes. While in transit if the tow vehicle has the Anderson Plug connected
this will also be topping up the batteries.
