Instruction Manual Electrobloc EBL 101
6.2 Additional functions
Automatic switch function
for AES/compressor
refrigerator
This relay supplies the AES/compressor refrigerator with power from the
starter battery when the vehicle engine is running and the D+ connection is
live. An AES/compressor refrigerator is powered by the living area battery
when the vehicle engine is switched off.
Mains charging of starter
battery
This feature provides an automatic float charge for the starter battery at up to
8 A when the 230 V mains is connected to the Electrobloc.
6.3 Battery monitor
Automatic disconnector The battery monitor of the control and switch panel compares the voltage of
the living area battery to a reference voltage. As soon as the battery voltage
falls below 10.5 V, all 12 V consumers are switched off via the main switch
relays 1 and 2. Only the frost protection valve is still powered. The automatic
disconnector is not triggered by short-term low voltage (less than 2 seconds),
caused by high current when switching on consumers.
If overload or an insufficiently charged living area battery causes the voltage
to fall so low that the automatic disconnector is triggered, any consumers
which are not essential should be switched off.
You may be able to switch on the 12 V power supply for a short time. To do
this, switch on the 12 V main switch on the control and switch panel.
However, if the battery voltage remains below 11.0 V, you cannot switch on
the 12 V power supply.
Fully charge up the living area battery as soon as possible. For more informa-
tion see the description of battery voltage.
6.4 Using the EBL 101 as alternate device
The EBL 101 can be used as an alternate device instead of the EBL 100. The
plug-and-socket connections of the old device can all be used. Some addi-
tional functions and plug connections of the EBL 101 will however remain
without a function.
7 Maintenance
The Electrobloc EBL 101 requires no maintenance.
Cleaning Clean the Electrobloc with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild detergent.
Never use spirit, thinners or similar substances.
Do not allow fluid to penetrate the inside of the Electrobloc.
