8 Shutting down the system
The system has a battery separation unit that completely switches off the liv-
ing area battery. The separation of the batteries is activated with the control
and switch panel.
Switch off the system if you are not going to use the motorhome for a lengthy
period (for example during the winter).
Shutting down the system
for up to 6 months
Fully charge up the living area battery before shutting down the system. The
living area battery is then protected against total discharge. This applies only
if the battery is intact. Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer. The
shut down system requires approx. 4 Ah a month.
Shutting down the system
for more than 6 months
Fully charge up the living area battery and remove the connecting terminals
on the battery poles. The battery alarm is then no longer active.
Activating battery
separation
Carry out the following work steps in the correct order:
1. Switch off the 12 V main switch on the control and switch panel.
2. Press the "Battery" switch on the control and switch panel for more than
10 seconds. Follow the instruction manual of the control and switch panel.
After shutting down Press the 12 V main switch on the control and switch panel for more than
5 seconds to deactivate battery separation. For more information, see the
instruction manual for the control and switch panel.
9 Changing the battery
Prior to changing batteries, switch off the 12 V main switch on the control and
switch panel.
Only use batteries of the same type and capacity and those installed by the
manufacturer.
You can change from lead acid to lead gel batteries.
W Before and after shutdown, the living area battery must be fully recharged
to avoid battery damage. For this purpose the vehicle must be connected
to mains supply for a minimum of 12 hours with an 80 Ah battery and
24 hours with a 160 Ah battery.
W If battery separation is activated, the frost protection valve on the heater
system opens. Water may be lost. For more information, see the instruc-
tion manual of the heater system.
W Batteries may only be changed by qualified personnel.
W Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
W Charging unsuitable types of battery may irreparably damage them.
W Only use the Electrobloc for connecting the 12 V power supply to 6-cell
lead gel or lead acid batteries.
W Do not operate the Schaudt solar charge regulator without a battery. This
might damage the solar charge regulator or any connected consumers. If
the battery is going to be changed or removed, take off the positive lead
"+ Solar Module" on the solar charge regulator.
