2.2 Activating the System
The EC Series system has a shutdown feature
that can be used when the vehicle is in storage.
This allows the leisure electronics to be turned
off when not required to save battery power.
When in the off state the alarm and tracking
system supplies are still active, all other supplies
are turned off. Before using the system, please
ensure the system shutdown switch is in the ‘On’
position (i.e. in)

2.3 Connecting to the Mains 230V supply and
Safety checks
For your safety it is IMPORTANT that you
follow these connections instructions each time
your Leisure Vehicle is connected to a mains
supply. This section assumes that the system
is complete and that a Leisure battery has been
installed (see 3.4).
A) Ensure suitability of the Mains Supply. Your
Leisure Vehicle should only be connected
to an approved supply that meets the
requirements of BS7671 or relevant
harmonised standards. In most cases the
site warden will hold information regarding
suitability of supply. If using a generator you
also need to comply with the requirements
/ instructions supplied with the generator.
Please note that some electronic generators
may not be compatible with your leisure
system. Further generator operational
information is contained elsewhere in this
manual (page 76).
B) Switch the PSU Power Converter
to OFF.
Locate the green ‘Charger’ power switch on the
PSU and ensure the switch is in the off position
(button out) before connection to the mains
supply.
C) Connect the Hook-up Lead.
Connect the supplied hook-up lead (orange
cable with blue connectors) to
the caravan and then connect to the mains
supply.
D) Check Residual Current Device operation.
Locate the RCD within the PSU and ensure the
RCD is switched on (lever in up position). Press
the ‘Test’ button and confirm that the RCD turns
off (lever in down position). Switch the RCD back
to the on position (lever in up position).
E) Check Miniature Circuit Breakers.
Locate the MCB’s within the PSU (adjacent to
the RCD) and ensure they are all in the on (up)
position.
F) Turn the PSU ON.
Locate the black ‘Isolation’ button and ensure
it is in the on position (press button in). Locate
the green ‘Charger’ switch on the PSU and turn
to the on position (press button in). The charger
switch will illuminate when turned on.
G) Check correct Polarity.
Locate the ‘Reverse polarity’ indicator on the
PSU and ensure that the indicator is NOT
illuminated.
H) Check operation of equipment.
It is now safe to operate the 12v and 230v
equipment.
