EM4x Features The EM4x microcontroller-based DC system energy manager provides the control and monitoring functions for all Newmar Energy’s power systems. With an appropriate communications connection third party lithium battery can also be managed. The EM4x monitors all power system conditions including DC voltage, rectifier current, battery current, battery temperature, distribution failure and battery pack status.
WARNING - All upstream AC, Load and Battery breakers must be switched OFF prior to installation. The system must be completely de-powered. All circuit breakers in a Newmar power system must be in their OFF position prior to installation. WARNING - Use extreme care when fitting batteries & their connections. Remove all conductive materials from yourself such as watches, jewelry, and rings prior to Newmar •...
A 5/32" (4mm) wide slotted screwdriver has been provided to allow ease of accessing some of the smaller recessed DIN style terminal block screws. Note: Do not fit rectifier modules until the Centurion II DC power system has been installed into the rack. 6.2.
The fuse used in the RM2048/24, C2R-2000, and C2RX- 2048 rectifiers is a slow-blow 15A fuse. The tripping curve for this is shown in Appendix 4 at the rear of this manual. Newmar • 1580 Sunflower Ave, Suite 100, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Phone: 714-751-0488 • E-mail: techservice@Newmarpower.com...

AINTENANCE As Newmar power systems are state of the art electronic systems, little routine maintenance is required. 9.1. System • During normal operation the cable entries to the MCBs may loosen over time due to movement in the cable strands. To avoid damage to the MCB’s and cable entries due to heat build-up and arching, it is recommended that the retaining torque is periodically checked at least annually.

7. Re-install the toggle guard and top of the unit and reapply power. Note: It is normal to measure output voltage on a Centurion II load circuit breaker when its toggle handle is in the OFF position. The Centurion II circuit breaker alarm circuit produces a very low current, high impedance signal that can be detected using a high impedance digital multi-meter (DMM).
