1KeyFeatures
·BatteryCharger/ PowerSupply–Incorporatesan aircooled 300 Watt multi-stage powerconverter
unitthat chargesthe batteriesand provides12VDCpower.
·Built-in dualSolarRegulator-Allowsthe direct connectionofa 20to 120Wsolarpanel
without the need foradditionalcomponents. The dualregulatorchargesboth the vehicleand
leisure batteriessimultaneously.
·EnhancedDigitalControlPanel-With scrolling menu system, batterycondition (voltage and
current),watertanklevels,tankand batterylevelwarningswith batteryprotect circuit, alarm
clockand programmable event timer.
2System Overview
The following diagramshowsthe typicalconfiguration ofthe EC328 system. The keycomponent is
the EC328 powersupplyunit (PSU),whichisthe hub ofthe systemand providesconnectivityto the
ancillarycomponentsand the EC328 digitalcontrolpanel.

read and fullyunderstand these instructions. If you are unsureofanypointplease contactyour
dealer/distributorforadvicebefore use.

WARNING
Underheavyloadsthe EC328PSU case maybecome hot. ALWAYSensure the ventilation slotshave
a clearflow ofair. Do not place combustible materialsagainst / adjacent to the EC328PSU. The PSU
willshutdown ifoverheated and will restart automaticallywhen cool.

The Residual Current Device(RCD) is basicallyprovided
toprotectthe userfromlethalelectricshock. The RCD will
turnoff (trip) ifthe current flowing inthe liveconductor
doesnotfullyreturndownthe neutralconductor, i.e. some
current ispassing through apersondowntoearthor

Toensurethe RCD isworkingcorrectly, thetest button

the mainssupply(seesection 5.1)
The MiniatureCircuit Breakers(MCB’s) operatein asimilar
waytotraditional fusesand areprovidedtoprotectthe
wiring installation fromoverloador short circuit. If an
overload occurstheMCB will switchoffthe supply. Ifthis
occursyou shouldinvestigatethe causeofthe fault before
switchingtheMCB back on.

3 6 Amps Black(Blue forwaterheater) Fridge /WaterHeater/ 12vCharger
(internallyconnected)
3.2BatteryCharger
The EC500 systemincorporatesan intelligentthree-stage batterycharger/ powerconverter.
During stage 1 the batteryvoltage isincreased graduallywhile the current islimited to startthe
charging process and protect the battery. At stage 2 the voltage risesto 14.4Vtodeliverthe bulk
charge tothebattery.When thebatteryischarged, the voltage isdecreased at stage 3 to 13.6Vto
delivera float charge to maintainthe batteryinthe fullycharged state. The chargercan be left
switched on continuouslyasrequired.
The batterycharger/ powerconverteralsoprovidespowerto the leisure equipment when the mains
supplyisconnected. Thismodule suppliesDC totheleisure equipment up to amaximumof25 Amps
(300 Watts), therefore the available powerisdistributed between the leisureload and the battery,with
the leisure load taking priorityasperthe following example:
Leisureload Available powerforbattery charging

15A 10A
20A 5A
3.3SolarPanel Converter
The EC328PSUincorporatesa built-indualchannelSolarRegulatorthat allowsthe direct connection
ofa 20 to 120Wsolarpanelwithout the need foradditionalcomponents. The dualregulatorcharges
both the vehicle and leisurebatteriessimultaneouslyand connectsto the PSU viaa dedicated
connectoron the base ofthe unit (see section6.5forconnectordetails).
Aconnection harness isavailable fromyourdealerorthe Sargent web site.
3.4Fuses
WARNING
When replacing fusesalwaysreplace a fusewiththecorrect value. NEVER replace witha highervalue /
ratingasthiscould damage the wiring harness. Ifa replacement fuse ‘blows’ do not keep replacing the
fuse asyou could damage the wiring harness. Pleaseinvestigate the fault and contactyourdealer.
The following table showsthe fuse allocation forthe 12 fusesfitted to the EC328PSU.

3.5Battery
A)Type / Selection
Foroptimumperformance and safetyitisessentialthat onlya proprietarybrand LEISUREbatteryis
used with a typicalcapacityof75 to 120Ah(Ampere / hours). AnormalcarbatteryisNOTsuitable.
Thisbatteryshouldalwaysbe connected when the systemisin use.
The PSUisconfigured to workwith standard lead acid leisure batteries, and in most casesisalso
compatiblewiththelatest rangeofAbsorbed Glass Matt (AGM)batteries. Beforefittingnon-standard
batteriespleasecheckthat the charging profile described in 3.2 issuitableforthe type ofbatteryby
referring to the batterydocumentation orbatterymanufacturer.
Some vehicleinstallationscan caterfortwoleisure batteriesconnected in parallel. In these casesit is
recommended that two identicalbatteriesare used.
The batteryfeed isfitted with an inline fuse between the batteryandtheelectricalharness, andis
usuallylocated immediatelyoutside the batterycompartment orwithin 500mmofthe battery. The
maximumrating ofthisfuse is20Aperbattery.Iftwo ormore batteriesare fitted the maximumtotal
fusing value must not exceed 40A.
B)Installation & Removal
Alwaysdisconnect the 230vmainssupplyandturn theEC328PSU chargerswitchto the OFF (0)
position before removing orinstallingthebattery.
When connecting the battery,ensure that the correct polarityisobserved (blackis negative[-] and red
ispositive [+])and that the terminalsare securelyfastened. Crocodile clipsmustnot be used.
WARNING
Explosive gasesmaybe present at the battery.Takecare to prevent flamesand sparks in thevicinity
ofthe batteryand do not smoke.
C)Operation / Servicing
Undernormalcircumstancesit shouldnot be necessaryto remove thebatteryotherthanforroutine
inspection ofthe terminalsand “toppingup”ofthe batteryfluidwhere applicable. Please see
instructionssupplied withthe battery.
Note: Do not overdischarge thebattery.One ofthe most common causesofbatteryfailureiswhen
the batteryisdischarged below therecommended levelofapproximately10v. Discharginga battery
belowthisfigure can causepermanent damage to one ormore ofthe cellswithin the battery.
To preventoverdischarge, the EC328 systemincorporatesa batteryprotect circuit that warnsand
then disconnectsthebatterieswhentheyfallbelow the followingconditions:

Foryoursafetyit is IMPORTANT that you followtheseconnectionsinstructionseach timeyourLeisure
Vehicleisconnectedto a mainssupply.
A)Ensure suitabilityof theMains Supply.YourLeisure Vehicle shouldonlybe connected to an
approved supplythat meetsthe requirementsofBS7671. In most casesthe site warden will hold
information regarding suitabilityofsupply.Ifusing a generatoryou also need to complywith the
requirements/ instructionssupplied with the generator. Pleasenote that some electronic
generators maynot be compatiblewith yourleisure system.
B)Switchthe EC328PSU internal PowerConverterOFF. Locate the green ‘Charger’powerswitch
on the EC328PSUand ensure theswitchisin the OFF (0)positionbefore connection to the mains
supply.
C)Connectthe Hook-up Lead. Firstlyconnect the supplied hook-up lead (orange cablewith blue
connectors) to the LeisureVehicleand then connect to themainssupply.
D)Check Residual Current Device operation. Locate the RCDwithin theEC328PSUand ensure
the RCD isswitched on (leverin up position). Press the ‘TEST’button and confirmthat the RCD
turnsoff (leverin downposition).Switch the RCD back to the on position (leverin up position). If
the test button failed to operate the RCD see section 5.2.
E)Check correctPolarity. Locate the ‘ReversePolarity’indicatoron the EC328PSU andensure
that the indicatorisNOTilluminated. Ifthe indicatorisilluminated see section 5.2.
F) Check Miniature CircuitBreakers. Locate the MCB’s within the EC328PSU (adjacent to the
RCD)and ensuretheyareallintheON (up)position.IfanyMCB’sfail to latchinthe on position
see section 5.2.
G) Turnthe EC328PSU ON. Locate the green powerswitch on the EC328PSUandturn to the ON(I)
position.The switchwillilluminate when turned on.
H)Check operation of equipment. It isnowsafe to checkthe operation ofthe 12vand 230v
