EC444/EC445/EC455 POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
2.3 Activating the System
The EC400 / EC450 system has a shutdown
feature that should be used when the vehicle is
in storage or is not being used for long periods
of time. 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, most
other supplies are turned off.
Before using the system please ensure the
shutdown switch is in the system on position
(button in).
2.4 Connecting to the Mains 230V supply
and Safety checks
For your safety it is IMPORTANT that you
follow these connection 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.
b. Switch the PSU internal Power Converter
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. Firstly connect
the supplied hook-up lead (orange cable
with blue connectors) to the Leisure Vehicle
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). If the
test button failed to operate the RCD see
section 3.10.
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. If any MCB’s
fail to ‘latch’ in the on position
see section 3.10.
f. Turn the PSU ON. Locate the black
‘Shutdown’ 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. If the
indicator is illuminated see section 3.10.
h. Check operation of equipment. It is
now safe to operate the 12v and 230v
equipment.
