The OPUS® comes fitted with a 120 volt power system. This 120 Volt power system complies with NFPA and NEC
regulations.
The main circuit breaker and panel is located inside the OPUS in the floor well. Always
ensure you have clear access to the panel and it is not blocked at any time.
The exterior shore power hookup is located on the driver’s side on the main body of
your OP2. With your OP2 we supply a 30ah shore power cable and yellow dogbone
connection for both campsite and home outlet connection. The power cable connects
directly to the side of your OPUS. The dogbone can be used to adapt the cable to plug
in to your 3-pin socket at home.
This shore power connection will provide your OPUS with 120v power to the two 3-pin
sockets in your OPUS and provide power to your NOCO battery charger to charge your
batteries.
Take care to ensure proper maintenance of the power cord and pigtail accessory items.
Always use a Listed and approved 30ah cable and adapter and a grounded power
source. Never use an extension cord.
DANGER! Due to potential danger in failing to heed this warning, the recreational
vehicle manufacturer cannot be held responsible should damage, injury or death result
from failure to connect the power cord to a properly grounded power source.
1. In the long bench storage compartment directly opposite the door.
2. This socket should have your Progressive Dynamics battery charger plugged in and is designed to supply the battery.
3. In the storage compartment to the right of the main door.
4. In the storage compartment behind the seating area next to the front bed.
The OP2 has two 100ah deep cycle marine batteries installed as well as a fully automatic battery charge controller. You will
need to charge your batteries for at least 24hrs prior to each trip using a 120v shore power connection to ensure that they
are fully charged. The main control panel has a battery volt-meter that will provide an indication of the charge level of your
batteries. A fully charged battery bank will be indicated by a full battery symbol and the voltmeter reading around 13.7volts.
If you are at a campsite with shore power then we recommend connecting for the duration of your stay to keep your bat-
teries fully charged. If you are camping off-site without 120volt power then the length of time that your batteries will last
will depend on how much 12volt energy you use, the ’health’ or condition of your batteries and in some cases the ambient
temperature. Your control panel will show you how much power you are using and how much remaining power is in your
batteries to help you manage your power consumption.
Your 12v system is controlled by the main control panel which is located behind the exterior panel to the left of the door.
On the panel you will find the main 12v switch (the big red key). There are separate switches for the Front water tank pump,
Rear water tank pump, lights, 12v sockets, Fridge and Heater (Optional). To supply power to these features, use the red
main power key and turn the 12v power on your unit and choose the associated switch.
