Instruction Manual Electrobloc EBL 269
1 Introduction
This instruction manual contains important information for safe operation of
the Electrobloc. It is essential to read and to follow the given safety informa-
tion.
The instruction manual should always be kept in the motorhome/caravan. All
safety information must be passed on to other users.
The reproduction, translation and duplication of this manual, even in parts, is
not allowed without written authorization.
2 Safety information
The design of the Electrobloc is state-of-the-art and according to approved
safety technology. Nevertheless, if the safety information in this instruction
manual is not closely followed, persons might get injured or the Electrobloc
might be damaged.
Do not use the Electrobloc if it is not in technically good order and condition.
The instruction manual must be followed.
Any technical faults affecting the safety of persons or of the Electrobloc must
be dealt with immediately by qualified personnel.
▲Failure to comply with this sign may lead to the endangerment of per-
sons.
▲Failure to comply with this sign may damage the device or the connected
consumers.
▲This sign indicates recommendations or special features.
▲The electrical system of the motorhome or the caravan must meet cur-
rent DIN, VDE and ISO regulations. Manipulations of the electrical
system will endanger the safety of persons and the vehicle, and are
therefore prohibited.
▲Never make any modifications to the Electrobloc.
▲The electrical connection may only be established by qualified person-
nel and must be carried out according to the Schaudt installation
instructions.
▲Connection work is to be carried out in tensionless condition only.
▲Riskof fatalinjury dueto electric shockor fireinthe caseof a defective
mains cable or incorrect connection!
▲Risk of fatal injury!
Never perform maintenance on the Electrobloc when it is live.

Instruction Manual Electrobloc EBL 269
▲Blown fuses must only be replaced when the cause of the fault is
known and eliminated.
▲Never bridge or repair fuses.
▲Danger of burning! Blown fuses must only be changed on a zero-cur-
rent Electrobloc.
▲Only use original fuses rated as specified in the instruction manual.
▲Danger of burning! During operation the back of the Electrobloc gets
hot. Do not touch.
▲Danger of explosion from formation of detonating gas due to an incor-
rectly set battery selector switch, defective batteries, defective Elec-
trobloc or an excessively high battery working temperature (more than
30 °C).
▲The mains connection linemay only be replaced by an authorised cus-
tomer service department or by qualified persons.
▲The AES refrigerator fuse may only be used if a AES refrigerator is con-
nected. Otherwise, the living area battery may get totally discharged. Bat-
tery damage is possible.
▲An incorrectly set battery selector switch damages the living area battery.
▲Disconnect the Electrobloc from the mains before adjusting the battery
selector switch.
▲If the living area battery is changed or removed, the frost protection valve
on the heater system opens automatically. Water may be lost. For more
information, see the instruction manual of the heater system.
▲Before and after shutdown, the living area battery must be fully recharged
to avoid battery damage. For this purpose the vehicle must be connected
to mains supply for a minimum of 12 hours with an 80 Ah battery and
24 hours with a 160 Ah battery.
▲Do not operate the Schaudt solar charge regulator without a battery. This
might damage the solar charge regulator or any connected consumers. If
the battery is going to be changed or removed, take off the positive lead
"+ Solarzelle" (+ Solar Module) on the solar charge regulator.
▲Toavoidvoltage peaksduringwarm-up,do not connectthegeneratoruntil
it is running in a stable manner. Otherwise, the Electrobloc, the 12 V con-
sumers or other connected equipment might get damaged. It is essential
that the generator complies with the mains supply specifications.
▲The mains supply on board car ferries might not always be perfect. There-
fore, never connect the Electrobloc to the mains on car ferries. Otherwise,
the Electrobloc, the 12 V consumers or other connected equipment might
get damaged.

Instruction Manual Electrobloc EBL 269
3 Description and appropriate use
The Electrobloc EBL 269 is designed as a main power distibutor for
motorhomes. The Electrobloc is a permanent installation. The Electrobloc is
for charging batteries and supplying 12 V appliances with power.
The electrical management system "Electrobloc" consists of:
●The LAS 1218 charger module
●The 12 V distribution
●Fuses for the 12 V circuits
●Other control and monitoring functions
The charger module is a primary controlled switch-mode power supply. This
modern switching technology achieves high charging performance at a com-
pact size and low weight.
Acontroland switchpanelhas to beconnected for operation.Thiscontrol and
switch panel controls the electrical functions in the living area of the
motorhome, including accessories.
There are connections for an auxiliary charging unit and a solar charge regu-
lator.

You cannot change from lead gel to lead acid batteries. Ask your dealer for
advice.
▲Before and after shutdown, the living area battery must be fully recharged
to avoid battery damage. For this purpose the vehicle must be connected
to mains supply for a minimum of 12 hours with an 80 Ah battery and
24 hours with a 160 Ah battery.
▲Do not operate the Schaudt solar charge regulator without a battery. This
might damage the solar charge regulator or any connected consumers. If
the battery is going to be changed or removed, take off the positive lead
"+ Solarzelle" (+ Solar Module) on the solar charge regulator.
▲Batteries may only be changed by qualified personnel.
▲Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
▲Charging unsuitable types of battery may irreparably damage them.
▲Only use the Electrobloc for connecting the 12 V power supply to 6-cell
