SWIFT COMMAND POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
2.12 Solar Charge Management
The EC652/653 PSU incorporates a built-in
solar charge management feature, which will
monitor the input from a separate solar panel
and regulator. The Solar Active symbol will be
displayed on the control panel when there is
an amount of energy available to charge the
battery.
The voltage and current produced from
the regulator can be viewed on the control
panel display by selecting the Power menu
item. Depending on the charge state of the
batteries, the solar power will be directed
to the required battery and continuously
monitored to ensure optimum operation.
Power Screen (12V)
Here you can view battery levels, view charger
and solar current and press the more button
(right arrow) to view 230V current.
Selected Battery
Use the selected battery button to select
which battery you wish to use or charge
with the 230V charger..
230V Charging
If a battery is being charged by the 230V
charger a ‘lightning’ symbol will be shown
below the dial and adjacent to the relevant
battery in the header area.
Solar Charging
If a battery is being charged by the solar
panel a ‘sun’ symbol will be shown below
the dial and adjacent to the relevant battery
in the header area.
Leisure Dial
The leisure dial shows the voltage of the
leisure battery. Press the centre of the dial
to change to showing the leisure battery
current (+ positive value is charging and -
negative value is discharging)
Vehicle Dial
The leisure dial shows the voltage of the
leisure battery. Press the centre of the dial
to change to showing the leisure battery
current (+ positive value is charging and -
negative value is discharging))
Solar Dial
The solar dial shows the current being
supplied to the system from the solar panel
(if fitted).
2.13 Smart Charging
The EC653/653 PSU incorporates a smart
charge feature, which monitors both leisure
and vehicle batteries and automatically adjusts
and directs the charger power (and solar
power if a solar panel is installed) to maintain
the leisure and vehicle batteries at an optimal
level.
Note: If the vehicle battery is isolated using
the Fiat ignition key isolator or similar, some
smart charging functionality will be lost, and
the available charge will be directed to the
leisure battery.
