C) Operation / Servicing
Under normal circumstances it should not
be necessary to remove the battery other
than for routine inspection of the terminals
and “topping up” of the battery fluid where
applicable. Please see instructions supplied
with the battery.
Note: Do not over discharge the battery.
One of the most common causes of
battery failure is when the battery is
discharged below the recommended level of
approximately 10V. Discharging a battery
below this figure can cause permanent
damage to one or more of the cells within
the battery.
To prevent over discharge, the EC600 system
incorporates a battery protect circuit that
warns the users and then disconnects the
batteries when they fall below set values.
If a warning is active a beep will be emitted
by the control panel and information will be
shown on the screen. To cancel the warning,
press the select button. These warnings will
not be repeated unless the power switch is
turned off and on again. This is to ensure the
warning does not become a nuisance.

Notes
Vehicle 10.9V Battery selection
is changed from
Vehicle battery to
Leisure battery. If
the leisure battery
is below 9V then
a further warning
will occur (see
below).
This cut off level is designed to protect the vehicle
battery from over discharge. The 10.9V level
ensures there is sufficient power in the battery to
run the vehicle electronics and start the vehicle.
This cut off only applies to power drawn from the
battery by the leisure equipment; it will not protect
the battery if you leave vehicle circuits switched on,
such as the road lights.
Leisure 9V Power is turned
off
This is an emergency cut off level to protect the
battery from severe damage. You should not rely
on this cut off level during normal operation, but
manage your power consumption to a discharge
level of about 11.5V.
This cut off only applies to power drawn from the
battery by the leisure equipment that is controlled
by the control panel power switch; it will not
protect the battery from discharge by permanently
connected equipment.
