WARNING
WARNING
The OP2® has many 12v outlets that are a combination of standard 12v sockets, mini 12v sockets and USB sockets. There are also a range of 12v
features included with the OPUS, all controlled by the main control panel, the locations of which are listed below. All switches have their own
resettable breaker located above the switches.
The internal 12v sockets and external 12v socket will operate on 12v power from the leisure battery; heavy usage and power-hungry appli-
ances will deplete the battery’s charge quickly.
Inside the OPUS® there are four 12v mini sockets. These are for the 12v LED light strips.
There are two 12v outlets located a) by the main AIR hose inlet and b) inside the storage compartment behind the seating area next to the
front bed. There is also a 12v/ USB outlet to the left of the door.
On the exterior, there is one 12v outlets on the main control panel and one by the slide-out kitchen. There are also two additional 12v mini
sockets and a standard 12v socket. The two mini sockets are designed to operate the 12v LED light on the kitchen and a small annex light.
In the front tool box / fridge compartment here is a standard 12v socket intended for use with the fridge. In the same area there is a small
switch that operates the fan located in the door (if fitted on this model)
In both exterior tool box/ fridge compartments there is an LED work light. This has an automatic on/off photosensor.
Just inside the door by the 12v stereo there is a dimmer light switch that will control the interior footwell lights.
There is also a rocker switch that controls the light for the exterior light mounted to the side of the OPUS by the kitchen.
There are two water tank gauges on the control panel which will display the water level when the ‘water’ button is pressed. For more
information on your water tanks please see the water system section.
The OP2 features a 12v stereo/ CD player with two speakers in the footwell
The trailer lights and electric brakes are wired to a standard 7 pin trailer plug. The OPUS® is fitted with electric brakes with need an in-car
electric brake controller installed to operate.
The battery charger is fully automatic and will recharge the leisure battery if the OPUS® is connected to an electric hook-up. The battery
will also charge whilst in transit if the tow vehicle has the 7-pin connection.
The battery indicator on your control panel will show how much energy is left in your battery bank. It is important to note that it does NOT
explicitly show how much useable power is left in your batteries.
You have a 200 amp battery system. AGM batteries are able to reliably put out over 12.0v of power for 50% of their capacity. Most 12v ap-
pliances will require a 12volt output from the batteries to work. This means you 100 usable amp hours from a fully charge set of batteries.
The indicator on your control panel will show you how much total energy you have in your entire battery bank. This means that when your
indicator shows 50% you have used all of the usable power within your battery bank. If you continue to drain power from your batteries
beyond this point can and will most likely cause damage to your battery bank.
AGM battery lifespans are longer when they remain at full charge. Frequently discharging your batteries and leaving them empty will
accelerate the degradation process of your batteries and reduce their lifespan. The NOCO Genius charger installed in your OP2 will con-
trol the amount of charge delivered to your batteries so that they do not over charge, therefore you can leave your OP2 plugged in at all
times when at home.
If you are not keeping your OP2 plugged in whilst at home we recommend that you disconnect your batteries to maintain good battery
health. Please see the *care and maintenance section for more information on this topic.
The CO/LP alarm is wired directly to the batteries. This means that turning the power to the OP2 off on the
control panel will NOT shut power off to the CO Alarm. Please follow the winterization process for battery care
to ensure you are fully disconnecting the batteries during long periods of storage.
Always set your fridge to ‘LOW’ before heading out on your trip. This will use less power from your battery and
allow you longer off-site camping.
