Any excess motor cable should then be coiled up (secure with cable ties as necessary) in a
convenient position inside the RV. When coiling the motor cables please ensure that the coils
are kept as far away from the electronics box and aerial as possible. It is recommended that
motor cables should
NOT be cut to ensure that:
1) They are of equal length
2) Should the Powrtouch Freedom be removed and refitted to a new or different RV
then the cables can easily be reused.
Please ensure the battery is in good condition (See Section 5 Paragraph 5.4), a fully charged
battery MUST be used and can be either a lead acid or gel type.
ℹ️ (Please note that car batteries are not suitable to operate Powrtouch Movers.)
A 110-Ampere hour battery is recommended for optimum operation of the Powrtouch
Freedom. Smaller batteries may be utilised, but mover performance may be reduced. The
aerial (thin black cable) should be let through the RV floor directly next to the ECB (drill a small
3mm (0.12 inches) hole as required) and then run in a straight line away from the ECB and all
motor cables. The aerial should be clipped in place with the last 25mm (1 inch) of the cable left
dangling down. Under no circumstances should the length of the aerial be changed either by
cutting or extending by splicing into it.
3.7 CONNECTING TO THE RV BATTERY
ℹ️ Please be aware of the need for access to the isolation switch when parking your
RV. The switch should also be fitted to be in an accessible position whilst the unit is in
operation.
The Powrtouch is supplied with an inline switch which allows the isolation of the electrical
control box from the Battery. The suggested location for the fitting of this switch is in the sealed
side compartment within the battery box (
see NOTE below ), usually beneath the AC Power
Supply connector. The reason for this location is to ensure that the Powrtouch isolation key will
obstruct the use of the AC Power Supply connector; under no circumstances should the
Powrtouch be operated while the RV is connected to the AC Power supply. Drill a 25mm (1
inch) hole with the hole-saw and the two 5mm (0.2 inches) clearance holes for the fixing nuts
and bolts. When the holes are drilled install the switch and tighten up the nuts and bolts.
⚠️ The electronics control box, isolation switch and the in-line fuse MUST NOT be
located in the battery box or any compartments containing gas bottles . This is due to
risk of explosion caused by leaking gas and a spark generated by the electronics,
isolation switch or fuse
.
The 16mm
2
(#5 AWG) battery cables are provided correctly terminated for their application and
the length of these cables must not be altered in any way. The 1500mm (60 inches) Blue or
Black (negative) battery cable is connected directly from the negative terminal of the RV
battery to the negative terminal of the ECB. Starting from the non-terminated (bare end)
950mm (37.5 inches) of this cable is double insulated, this part of the cable must be connected
to the battery. The 1000mm (39.4 inches) Grey or Red (positive) battery cable is all double
insulated. This cable is used to connect the positive terminal of the battery (bare end) to one
terminal of the inline fuse positioned in the RV. This fuse is provided to protect the ECB from
overload or misuse. The battery cables have to pass through 16mm (0.63inches) dia. drilled
holes in the battery box to gain access to the RV. These cables should be protected from
chafing and the battery box sealed from leaking gas by the use of self-adhesive seals
(supplied). These seals
MUST be fitted. The 250mm (9.8 inches) Grey or Red (positive)
battery cable connects the free terminal of the inline fuse to a terminal of the isolation switch.
The 750mm (29.5 inches) Grey or Red (positive) cable then connects the second terminal of
