1. INTRODUCTION PM400 is designed for caravan or motor home with integrating many functions, including battery charger, distribution blocks, MPPT solar charger controller, charging relay, low voltage disconnect, water pump controller, water tank indicator, preconfigured switch panels as well as a crystal central monitor. The PM400 is designed for an easy installation and user-friendly interface.
1.2 Monitor The monitor is a digital control center for complete on-board power system. Features: • T-Bus design (can be connected to multiple devices) • System monitoring • Configuration Figure 3 Overview of Monitor 1.3 10-Position Switch Panel (not inc.

2. KEY FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS 2.1 Multiple Inputs The PM435 accepts inputs from AC mains, Solar and Starter Battery (Alternator). However, only one source will provide power at one time, see table below for details:- AC MAINS SOLAR STARTER BATTERY DOMINATING SOURCE AC MAINS AC MAINS...
2.3 Vehicle Battery Charger Along with a powerful charger for service battery, PM435 offers a float charge of up to 3A to keep the starter battery charged, whether connected to the AC main or PV. When the starter battery is less than 12.4V, the PM435 starts charging after 30 minutes delay and stops charging when voltage reaches 12.8V.
2.8 Battery Low Voltage Protection (BLVP or commonly known as an LVD) The PM435 unit has a built-in battery low voltage protection relay. It will disconnect the load once the battery voltage drops below the threshold voltage. The default setting is 10.5Vdc and it can be changed by crystal central monitor or mobile APP from 10.0Vdc to 11.7Vdc.
