Introduction Simarine SPDU-52 power distribution unit is a very versatile module. It's purpose is to power other modules and shunts, which are used by the Caravan Panel. The SPDU-52 has 3 SICOM ports, two for additional power outputs input/outputs (SICOM 1, SICOM 2) and one for the Caravan Panel (SiCOM PANEL).
Overview A - 2 SiCom, 1 SiCOM Panel B - resistance inputs C - voltage inputs D - 4 stage level 2 E - 4 stage level 1 F - main and starter battery G - manual main switch H - solar charger I - charger J - inputs and outputs K - common ground...
SICOM Panels A - SiCOM1 port, used for an optional power input (e.g. extra port to connect a SIMARINE module). B - SiCOM2 port, used for an optional power input. C - SiCOM PANEL port, used to connect the Caravan Panel.
Resistance & Voltage Inputs A - Resistance inputs, the cable arrangement doesn't matter, because the cable used here is black (the black cable goes to R and GND). The resistance inputs are for potential connections that are resistance based (e.g. tanks, freezer, etc.). B - Voltage inputs, used for user sensors.
25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% input. The NC stands for "not connected", meaning it doesn't require an input. B – 4 stage level 2, the same as the 4 stage level 1 sensor, sensors connected to base and individual sensors to the 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% input.
Relays, Inputs A - Relays K1-K6 The configuration for the functionality of the K1–K6 buttons can be changed in the program. The default settings however, are the following: · K1 - Fridge · K2 - Heating · K3 - AC ·...
4 stage level 1 & 2, each pin is connected to a percentage mark (25%, 50%, 75%) and one is connected to base input for power. The NC in the 4 stage level 1 stands for "not connected" and does not require an input. Starter &...

Batteries Shunts Temperature sensors Tank level sensors Inclinometer sensors Smartphone application Logger capacity up to 3 years Troubleshooting If the Caravan Panel is showing wrong sign for current value. Check if the shunts are correctly installed. This means the consumers/generators minus (optionally plus) terminal is connected to the IN terminals on the shunts.
