3.4 Power Converter
The EC325PSU contains a power converter that powers
the leisure equipment when the 240v mains supply is
connected. This module supplies 13.5v DC to the leisure 
equipment up to a maximum of 25 Amps (325 Watts).

The power converter also supplies power to the
intelligent battery charger, therefore the available
power is distributed between the leisure load and the
charger, with the leisure load taking priority as
per the following example:

Leisure load  Available power for battery charger
 

10A  

 

15A

3.5 Solar Panel Converter
The EC325PSU incorporates a built-in dual channel
Solar Regulator that allows the direct connection
of a 20 to 100W solar panel without the need for 
additional components. The dual regulator charges
both the vehicle and leisure batteries simultaneously and 
connects to the PSU via a dedicated
connector on the base of the unit.

4.1 EC 200 Control Panel

Layout and Buttons

The following diagram shows the 

control panel layout and button 

functions

4.4 EC 200 Control Panel Event Timer
Example:
 The event timer is designed to allow the leisure 
vehicle user to turn the 12v power on or off
(in the same way as using the control panel power button) 
without being in the vehicle.
This allows to turn 

ON or OFF at a predetermined time 

your 

12v diesel heater, lighting, alarm system and your 

240v airconditioner via a relay.
Example:
To turn on one interior light at 11.00pm for 1 hour
Ensure the clock is set to the correct time Scroll
to the 

‘Set Event Timer?’ screen.

Following the instruction in section 4.3,
set the 

ON time to 23:00 and the OFF time to 24:00

Scroll to the 

‘Event Timer=’ screen and select ON

Scroll to the main control panel display and ensure a
hash 

(#) is displayed in the right of the display

Turn all lights and 12v equipment off in the vehicle except 
the light that you want the event timer to automatically 
switch on Turn the 12v power off on the control panel
Exit the vehicle.
At 11:00pm (23:00) the control panel will switch the 12v 
power on and therefore any equipment that was left 
switched on will be turned

 ON.

The 12v power will be switched OFF at Midnight (24:00).
