power management system

Post by spev58 »

I have just bought a great T25 which has a PMS 34, does anyone have a manual for this unit? If not could anyone explain where the switches have to be for it to work. Idrove the van for approx 3 hours on Saturday and the leisure battery is very low. the battery looks new, any information would be greatly appreciated.

[img:640:480]http://discodave.image-storage.net/pms.jpg[/img]hi, this is the same as i have got in my van.

assuming the unit is wored correctly the unit shoudl function as follows:

the battery switch has 3 positions, the middle is off, push it up and the 12v system will run from the starter battery, push it all the way down and the 12v system will run off the leisure battery.

the pump switch is simply on or off and this supplies power to the water pump for the tap(s)

the pump fuse is fed from the pump switch. the lights and aux are fed from the batt selector switch!

the fridge fuse is simply a place to connect the fridge, it's connections on the back go directly to the fuse and back, this is so you can either run the fridge via a relay to come on when the ignition is on or can be wired up to a switch! but there is no means of controling the fridge supply with in the unit!

the yellow switch is the mains power switch to the chraging system, when mains power is present push the switch to the on position, the switch will light up! if the batt selcector is in the off possition (centre) the12v system will run from the internal transformer.

if the batt switch is pushed either to car or van the internalcharger will charge the respective battery to it's optimum charge whilst also supplying the 12v system!

the four mains switches from left to right are
1) main rcd switch
2) should be 16A and should power any mains sockets
3) should be 16A and should power the fridge on mains or other mains sockets
4) should be the main switch for the internal chargeing system

it is worth bearing in mind that these units are hand built so for the mains switches may be slightly different!

the picture shown has the main rcd on the off position, plug your van into a hook up and puch the switch up, it should stay up! press the small round button on the smae switch, and the main rcd should turn off! this is the test facility to make sure the rcd is functioning correctly! push it back up and then turn the charger switch on to see if it's working!


unfortunately i can't find the instructions for mine, but if you phone them and ask for the technical department they might be able to send you a set out! they were extreemely helpful when i phoned them!

hope this helps!
