CONNECTION OF SERVICES
When connecting the battery, ensure that the correct polarity is observed (black is negative [-]
and red is positive [+]) and that the terminals are securely fastened. Crocodile clips must not be
used.
WARNING: Explosive gases may be present at the battery. Take care to prevent flames and
sparks in the vicinity of the battery and do not smoke.
3.5.3 Operation / Servicing
Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to remove the battery other than for
routine inspection of the terminals and “topping up” of the battery fluid where applicable. Please
see instructions supplied with the battery.
Note: Do not over discharge the battery. One of the most common causes of battery failure is
when the battery is discharged below the recommended level of approximately 10v. Discharging
a battery below this figure can cause permanent damage to one or more of the cells within the
battery.
To prevent over discharge, the EC500 system incorporates a battery protect circuit that warns
the users and then disconnects the batteries when they fall below set values.
If the power is turned on and the leisure battery level falls below 9V a warning beep will be heard
and information will be shown on the screen. To cancel the warning, press the select button.
If the power is turned on and the vehicle battery level falls below 10.9V a warning beep will be
heard and information will be shown on the screen. If no action is taken the system will switch
over from the vehicle battery to the leisure battery. To cancel the warning, press the select
button.
These warnings will not be repeated unless the power switch is turned off and on again. This is
to ensure the warning does not become a nuisance.
Battery Cut off
Action after cut off
Notes
Battery selection is
changed from
Vehicle battery to
Leisure battery. If
the leisure battery is
below 9V then a
further warning will
occur (see below).
This cut off level is designed to protect the
vehicle battery from over discharge. The
10.9V level ensures there is sufficient power
in the battery to run the vehicle electronics
and start the vehicle. This cut off only applies
to power drawn from the battery by the leisure
equipment; it will not protect the battery if you
leave vehicle circuits switched on, such as
the road lights.
This is an emergency cut off level to protect
the battery from severe damage. You should
not rely on this cut off level during normal
operation, but manage your power
consumption to a discharge level of 10V.
This cut off only applies to power drawn from
the battery by the leisure equipment that is
controlled by the control panel power switch;
it will not protect the battery from discharge
by permanently connected equipment.
