CONTROL PANEL GUIDE
• The Volt Meter – Measures the current battery voltage output. Most appli-
ances will require at least 12.2v from the batteries otherwise they will not
work.
• Amp Meter – This shows how many Amps you are currently using. The
OPUS® has 2 x 100ah AGM batteries. This gives you 100 usable amps for
off-site power.
• Battery Indicator – This shows the total capacity remaining in your batteries.
If you are showing 50% on your battery meter then your batteries will not
put out the 12.2v required for most accessories to operate.
• Ensuring you keep a close eye on all 3 gauges will help to make sure you
are fully informed on the current performance of your 12v battery powered
electrical system.
• The Upper Number shows what Voltage (power level) the batteries are cur-
rently reading. It is the strength of the current flowing from the batteries.
• 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 batteries 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 batteries are
under load (fridge is actively running).
• The lower number shows the quantity of energy you are currently utilizing
from the batteries.
• 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 conditions your batteries will be fully drained.
• Remember your appliances all cycle at different rates so this number be-
comes very important for estimating battery life.
