ELECTRICS
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.
3.4 Generator Usage
Caution should be used before connecting a
generator to your caravan or motorhome.
WARNING: Never start or stop the
generator while electrical loads are
connected and switched on. Start the
engine, let it stabilise and then connect
the electrical load. To stop the engine,
disconnect the electrical load and let
engine stabilise before switching off.
Whilst some generators use electronic
inverter technology, others use a more basic
principle to generate the 230V supply.
Preference should be to choose a generator
which produces a consistent sinusoidal wave
form with accurate voltage control.
The Reverse Polarity warning light on the
PSU may illuminate when using a Generator.
This is a normal side effect when using some
types of generator. Instead of connecting the
neutral conductor to earth, some generators
centre tap the earth connection making both
neutral and live conductors 110V above
earth. This 110V difference causes the neon
polarity indicator to illuminate.
In most cases it is safe to use a generator,
but please consult the generator handbook
for further information.
3.5 Solar Charge Management
The EC500 PSU incorporates a built-in solar
charge monitor which will measure and
display the current being generated by an
attached solar panel (when fitted). For this
display to work correctly the solar panel must
be connected via a suitable solar regulator to
the provided solar panel connection and not
connected direct to the battery.
3.6 Water System Operation - Optional
Tank Fill Feature
With the optional onboard water tank
installed the system may also include an
automatic tank fill/refill feature which
operates as follows:
3.6.1 One shot fill
With the water pump turned OFF, when the
tank fill feature is turned on at the control
panel (see 4.4) 12V power is supplied to the
tank filling pump. At the same time a timer is
started and counts up in seconds and the
LED next to the pump switch starts to flash
indicating that filling has started.
Water starts to flow from the water carrier
(i.e. Aquarol) into the internal tank.
If the 100% level is reached the filling pump
is turned off, the timer is stopped and the
tank fill feature is turned off (pump LED turns
off).
If the tank filling pump runs continuous for
300 seconds (5 minutes) or more, then the
tank filling pump is turned off and the timer is
stopped (pump LED stops flashing). This is
to protect the tank filling pump.
3.6.2 Continuous fill/refill
During this process you do need to monitor
the water level in the water carrier.
With the main water pump turned ON, when
the tank fill feature is turned on at the control
panel (see 4.4) 12V power is supplied to the
tank filling pump. At the same time a timer is
started and counts up in seconds and the
LED next to the pump switch starts to flash
fast indicating that filling has started.
Water starts to flow from the water carrier
into the internal tank.
If the 100% level is reached the filling pump
is turned off, the timer is stopped and then
reset to zero. The pump LED stops flashing.
The process will restart if water is used from
the internal tank causing the level to drop
below 100%.
If the tank filling pump runs continuous for
300 seconds (5 minutes) or more, then the
tank filling pump is turned off and the timer is
stopped (pump LED stops flashing). This is
to protect the tank filling pump.
The process can be restarted by turning the
main pump off and then on again (after
refilling the water carrier).
