2 10 Amps White (Yellow for heater) Extra 230v Sockets / Space Heater
3 10 Amps Black (Blue for water heater) Fridge / Water Heater /
12v Charger (internally connected)
The following table shows the rating and
circuit allocation for the three MCB’s
3.3 Battery Charger
The EC500 system incorporates an intelligent
three-stage battery charger / power converter.
During stage 1 the battery voltage is increased
gradually while the current is limited to start the
charging process and protect the battery. At
stage 2 the voltage rises to 14.4V to deliver the
bulk charge to the battery. When the battery is
charged, the voltage is decreased at stage 3 to
13.6V to deliver a float charge to maintain the
battery in the fully charged state. The charger
can be left switched on continuously as
required.
The battery charger / power converter also
provides power to the leisure equipment when
the mains supply is connected. This module
supplies DC to the leisure equipment up to a
maximum of 25 Amps (300 Watts), therefore the
available power is distributed between the
leisure load and the battery, with the leisure
load taking priority as per the following
example:
Leisure Available power for battery
load charging
5A 20A
10A 15A
15A 10A
20A 5A
WARNING: Under heavy loads the charger
case may become hot. ALWAYS ensure any
ventilation slots have a clear flow of air. Do
not place combustible materials against/
adjacent to the charger.
3.4 Smart Charging
The EC500 system incorporates a smart
charge feature, which monitors both leisure
and vehicle batteries and automatically
adjusts and directs the charger power (and
solar power if a solar panel is installed) to
maintain the leisure and vehicle batteries at
an optimal level.
3.5 Leisure Battery
3.5.1 Type / Selection
For optimum performance and safety it is
essential that only a proprietary brand
LEISURE battery is used with a typical
capacity of 75 to 120 Ah (Ampere / hours). A
normal vehicle battery is NOT suitable. This
battery should always be connected when
the system is in use.
The PSU is configured to work with standard
lead acid leisure batteries, and in most cases
is also compatible with the latest range of
Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) batteries.
Before fitting non-standard batteries please
check that the charging profile described in
3.3 is suitable for the type of battery by
referring to the battery documentation or
battery manufacturer.
Some vehicle installations can cater for two
leisure batteries connected in parallel. In
these cases it is recommended that two
identical batteries are used.
