Switchboard Quick Tips
The Volt Meter: Measures the current baery voltage output. Most appliances will require at least 12.2v from the baeries
otherwise they will not work.
Amp Meter: This shows how many Amps you are currently using. The OPUS® has 3 x 100ah AGM baeries. This gives you 150
usable amps for o-site power.
Baery Indicator: This shows the total capacity remaining in your baeries. If you are showing 50% on your baery meter then
your baeries will not put out the 12.2v required for most accessories to operate. Ensuring you keep a close eye on all 3 gauges
will ensure you are fully informed on the current performance of your 12v baery powered electrical system.
*Each switch on the control panel (power, fridge, sockets, lights and pump) has its own breaker, located directly above the switch.
Understanding the Voltage Meter
The upper number shows what Voltage (power level) the baeries are currently reading. It is the strength of the current owing
from the baeries.
If this number were to drop beneath 12.0v with no load (i.e. no accessories running on the OPUS®) then it is highly likely all the
appliances inside your camper would stop working as the baeries are not able to put out enough voltage to keep these appliances
running.
Do not take a reading when an appliance, such as a fridge, is running. It will give a false reading. Voltage may appear below 12.0 if
the baeries are under load (fridge is acvely running).
The lower number shows the quanty of energy you are currently ulizing from the baeries. If you imagine a water tank holding
100gallons and you drain 4 gallons an hour (gallons would represent amps), then you can tell how quickly under current usage
condions your baeries will be fully drained. Remember your appliances all cycle at dierent rates so this number becomes very
important for esmang baery life.
