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.
