Installation & Removal
Always disconnect the 230V mains supply and
turn the green charger switch on the MC200 to
the off position (button out) before removing or
installing the battery.
When connecting the battery, ensure that the
correct polarity is observed (black is negative
[-] and red is positive [+]) and that the terminals
are securely fastened. Crocodile clips must not
be used.
Note: If a tracking solution is fitted with an active
Thatcham subscription, it is advised to inform
the tracking call centre before removing the
battery, to avoid an unnecessary security call.

Operation / Servicing
This information relates to lead acid batteries,
other specific requirements may be relevant
if lithium batteries are fitted, therefore please
refer to the battery documentation.
Under normal circumstances it should not be
necessary to remove the battery other than for
routine inspection of the terminals and "topping
up" of the battery fluid where applicable. Please
see instructions supplied with the battery.
Note: Do not over discharge the battery. One
of the most common causes of battery failure
is when the battery is discharged below the
recommended level of approximately 10V.
Discharging a battery below this figure can
cause permanent damage to one or more of the
cells within the battery.
To prevent over discharge, the MC100 system
incorporates a battery protect circuit that warns
the users and then disconnects the batteries
when they fall below set values.
If a warning is active a beep will be emitted by
the control panel and information will be shown
on the screen. To mute the warning, press the
bell icon. These warnings will not be repeated
unless the power switch is turned off and on
again. This is to ensure the warning does not
become a nuisance.
Notes
This cut off level is designed to protect the
vehicle battery from over discharge. The
10.9V level ensures there is sufficient power
in the battery to run the vehicle electronics
and start the vehicle. This cut off only applies
to power drawn from the battery by the
leisure equipment; it will not protect the
battery if you leave vehicle circuits switched
on, such as the road lights.
This is an emergency cut off level to protect
the battery from severe damage. You
should not rely on this cut off level during
normal operation, but manage your power
consumption to a discharge level of about
11.5V.
This cut off only applies to power drawn from
the battery by the leisure equipment that is
controlled by the control panel power switch;
it will not protect the battery from discharge
by permanently connected equipment.
