2.3 Activating the System
The EC400 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 connections 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.
